Michael Rooker Reteaming With 'Henry' Director For 'Road Rage'

Michael Rooker Reteaming With ‘Henry’ Director For ‘Road Rage’

One of the best performances of Michael Rookers‘ career was in 1986’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, based on the true-crime story of killer Henry Lee Lucas. Now he’s reteaming with Henry‘s director John McNaughton for Road Rage, which is meant to be the first film of a series. The film centers “on a serial killer who only kills those who deserve to die—presenting a modern hero who is a bad guy gone good, protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty.” Deadline reports.

Politically Inspired Horror 'Election Night' Is Out Today

Politically Inspired Horror ‘Election Night’ Is Out Today

The politically inspired horror Election Night is set to premiere on Prime Video and VOD on the sixth anniversary of the Brexit vote, today.

Others put their faith in a new populist far-right movement, the New Britain Party, headed by former newspaper baron Dominic Drummond (Bruce Payne). Five friends gather to watch the TV coverage as the election results pour in. It’s a drink-fueled night that should be a massive celebration of victory. But outside, far-right NBP supporters are rioting and claiming a rigged the election. Three people desperately seek shelter from the violence and knock on the door as the police lose control. Ben Pickering (Welcome to Curiosity) and Frazer Brown (Tales from the Quarantine produce. . Election Night features a
