Grindhouse Inspired Indie Feature ‘Macabre Medicine’
Beyond the break you can check out the full trailer for Macabre Medicine, an independent horror film directed by Will Hartman and starring Ben Bostaph. The film is a nod to the old 70’s Grindhouse horror/exploitation. Drawing a lot of inspiration from Quintin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez’s Grindhouse films as well as many films from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s, Macabre Medicine is a fun gore fest for all the gore hounds with enough blood and guts to give any horror fans goregasms.

When wanna be doctor Heywood West (Ben Bostaph) becomes the new kid in town, people start to get suspicious by his odd behavior; disgusting stenches coming from his house, people turning up missing, and red stains on his lab coat… you could see why.
Heywood befriends a fellow anatomy student Jeff Sarris (Will Hartman) and at the same time turns Jeff’s life upside down. After witnessing Heywood commit a murder, it’s up to Jeff to either turn in his new best friend or drown himself in Denial, while in the mean time Heywood continues writing prescriptions… FOR PAIN!
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
