Ok boils ‘n ghouls, let me know what you think. I’m thinking about starting a new bit called “Crypto Corner.” (That title is tentative). It’ll be about cryptids such as Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, Monstrous Snakes, etc. The monsters of the cryptid world, not your newly discovered bird from guatemala. What do you think? Cryptozoology (look it up) is very near and dear to me (yes, even the little finds like that mentioned above) and I think it could be fun. Let me know!
Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, the same guys who did the independent flick HEADCHEESE, along with one of the writers and producers of the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, Kim Henkel, have created a new film along the same line as THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK, AND CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE. THE WILD MAN OF THE NAVIDAD. From the trailer alone, the film seems to have an aesthetic quality we haven’t seen since the drive-in era. The colors appear a little washed out, the picture grainy with pops and scratches. This is perfect if you ask me. The look of films like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Eaten Alive, and The Legend of Boggy Creek among many others only adds to that gritty, grimy feeling I love. Wild Man is also set in the south (Texas, I believe), which puts it up there on my list. Any horror movie set in the south is a horror movie worth watching (even if they suck, I mean, you have to see it at least that ONE time).
You can find out more about the film by clicking on the cool poster below.
