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.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
