Horror Veterans and Iconic Musicians Fight to Survive the Creature Feature ‘Bunker Heights’

A once-thriving Midwestern city now choking on political corruption, organized crime, and runaway violence. However, a burned-out homicide detective, Derek Tucker, may be the city’s only hope for survival. This balls-to-the-walls film was written and directed by Drew Fortier. He also stars as Tucker. Bunker Heights begins with a routine investigation. But it rapidly collapses into utter urban chaos.
