First Images Are Here From Action-Horror ‘VFW’ Starring Stephen Lang

Joe Begos has been a busy man. His soon to be released film Bliss will be unleashed this September, and he has already moved on to his next project, VFW. His action-horror flick VFW is being described as “The Wild Bunch meets Night of the Living Dead.” We’ve got the first three images that tease that there will be A LOT of bloodshed. VFW centers on Fred (Stephen Lang) and his military buddies as they defend their local VFW post, and an innocent teen, against a deranged drug dealer and his relentless army of punk mutants. The Vietnam vets have been to hell and back, but this is going to be their toughest battle yet. Lang, William Sadler, Fred Williamson, Sierra McCormick, and Tom Williamson serve as the “good guys” in this flick that also stars David Patrick Kelly, Dora Madison, George Wendt, and Travis Hammer. Max Brallier and Matther McArdle penned the script. Filmed in Dallas, TX, VFW is

Richard Bates Jr. Talks ‘Tone-Deaf’ And People Who Are Full Of Sh*t

Award-winning filmmaker Richard Bates Jr., the director behind Suburban Gothic and Excision, sat down with me to talk about his most recent film, Tone-Deaf, starring Amanda Crew and Robert Patrick. Not your average horror film, Tone-Deaf follows a woman (Crew) who goes to the countryside to spend a quiet weekend after losing her job and having her complicated relationship implode on the same day. She rents a country house from an old-fashioned widower (Patrick), who struggles to hide his psychopathic tendencies. Horror Fuel: “I enjoyed Tone-Deaf. How did the story come to be?” Richard Bates Jr.: “Well, I’ll tell ya, I was watching the news with my wife. And I asked her what scares her the most in the world right now and she turned to me blankly and said ‘Old men.’ So, I went to my little corner and started thinking about it. John Waters always told me that if you want anyone to think about anything and seriously

Disney Rebooting ‘Alien’

Thanks to Disney’s merger with Fox, the mouse house now owns a massive amount of movie rights, including the Alien franchise. They’re not wasting any time and already have plans to reboot Alien, according to WeGotThisCovered.com. With Disney reluctant to release anything R-rated, you may be wondering how the reboot will go. CEO Bob Iger has made it clear that they will not be watering down future films of the franchise, but it appears they will be going back to the drawing board for a new version. There is no news on when it will begin filming. Hopefully, it won’t end up like this: Alien isn’t the only franchise getting a reboot, Predator will be too at some point. When will Hollywood just leave the classics alone? We don’t need reboots of either classic films. Enough is enough.
