John Gulager Prepping ‘The Good Doctor’, Western
We caught up with Feast franchise director John Gulager who took some time out of his busy schedule to chat about monster movies, rubber suits and Feast III: The Happy Finish, which is now available on DVD everywhere. During the interview, Gulager broke the news on a trio of projects he’s developing, all of which can be read about inside.
While joking with director John Gulager about how many projects Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan are working on, he revealed that the duo came up with an idea that his brother is in the process of scripting.
“Marcus and Patrick work on everything… even things you don’t know about – not to mention the Saw films. But yeah, there’s something called The Good Doctor,” he reveals to Bloody-Disgusting. “Marcus and Patrick came up with an idea and my brother (Tom Gulager) is writing a script for it. We might do that in Canada, but I’m not quite sure.
“Then my dad (Clu Gulager) wrote a script for a Western that’s ultra violent, vile and it’s so out there, I don’t even know how to shoot it…”
Another film that’s been long gestured is The Neighbor, which Gulgar still would like to make.
“Then there’s one called The Neighbor that we were trying to do before these Feast movies,” Gulager continues, “and it didn’t quite work out and so we’re trying to maybe revive it a bit – I know that’s hard in Hollyweird land. You know, they don’t like to revisit movies that didn’t happen. But that’s kidna too bad because we put a lot of thought into it…”
When we broke the news on The Neighbor few years back, we were told it followed a Texas/Mexico border guy who runs immigrants into the country and becomes tangled in a scandal… where torture is involved.
Watch for the full interview with Gulager tomorrow and pick up Feast III in stores now.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
