Backwoods Horror

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

I have this sick sensation that TCM 3D is going to blow, but then, I always have that feeling whenever I hear about remakes/re-imaginings/rip-offs/hollywood-in-general. Blood, grue, gore, splatter…all in 3D, sure I’ll give it a shot if it hits theaters, I loved watching the MY BLOODY VALENTINE remake in 3D, but it was still a shit movie (tits in 3D was a nice touch, however). Anyway, the boys over at Shock Til You Drop got their claws on a bit of leaked plot details for the upcoming TCM 3D…

Spoiler alert! (Had to say it.)

The new film, set today, will see the authorities and some angry townspeople ambushing the Sawyer home – where Jeb Stuart is accused of carrying out his butchering.

Hooper, the local by-the-book sheriff, had agreed to give Leatherface/Jeb Sawyer a fair trial and grant him a good lawyer…. But that’s before local mayor Burt Hartman, an imposing town tough-guy, arrives with a mob to see that the murderer/s don’t even make it past their front door. Though they both want justice, Hooper and Burt have different methods. Things escalate when Burt’s mob start tying ropes to trees, prepping for a hanging, and ultimately throw a flaming cocktail into the Sawyer home… burning the place, and it’s residents (including Jeb’s father, Drayton, played by Bill Moseley), to the ground.

Goodbye Sawyers…goodbye Leatherface?

You can guess what happens next : The Chainsaw killings start up again (there’s a fun sequence at a carnival where our villain starts chopping away at the attendees) and Hooper is forced to believe that Jeb Stuart somehow survived the fire and is back for revenge. But is it Jeb? And if not, who is it? and why have they surfaced?

To entice the young ones, there’s a young heroine in the film, Heather who – Halloween H20 should maybe get a ’special thanks’ in the credits – learns she has a disturbing connection to the murderous Sawyer. Heather’s a bit of a hornbag but possibly more disturbing is her taste for things of a darker nature (not just referring to her boyfriend either) – like her art pieces which border on revolting. Still, there’s good in this family member and enough intelligence and determination to find out what’s really going on.

Kim Henkel, writer of the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and writer/director of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION has ventured into cannibal territory again with BONEBOYS.  Serving as the writer and producer of the film, he’s teaming up once again with the directing duo of Justin Meeks and Duane Graves.  Kim Henkel, along with being their screenwriting professor in college, served as producer on the team’s last film THE WILD MAN OF THE NAVIDAD.

The Dallas News gives a brief synopsis: The story tells of a group of people who have adopted the philosophy found in Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” in which the author suggests cannibalism ain’t so bad.

As of this writing, TCM series alumni Ed Neal and Bill Johnson are set to have roles in the film.

So, apparently there’s a Giant Killer HAWG (Boar) flick called CHAW (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, sounds like it should be a flick about killer chewbaccy!) coming out of some Asian country, Korea I think, from filmmaker Shin Jeong-won (Who I THINK did THE HOST, but I HATE Asian “horror” flicks, so who gives a fuck).  Below you’ll find the trailer which you won’t understand a fuck of because it’s in Korasian but I do have a few things to say about it.  A:  They already did a Monsterquest Episode about this sort of thing down in Texas and it sucked, the first part, with the hanging hawg reminded me of that abortion of an episode.  B:  There’s already a killer hawg movie set in the land of FOSTER’s beer called RAZORBACK (not a back little flick).  Then there’s C: The last part of the trailer looks EXACTLY like that giant gator flick ALLIGATOR.  So if you like all of those things, and reading subtitles and watching a buncha pussies run scared from a giant ass pork chop, you’ll LOVE this flick.  Check out the Trailer below Courtesy of SHOCK TILL YOU DROP:

I first told you guys about the film THE WILD MAN OF THE NAVIDAD way back in June of last year.  Well, finally, the film will be available to be seen by (just about) everyone (by just about, I mean me, because I can’t gain access to IFC for some damn reason).  The film will be showcased on IFC tomorrow, FEB. 4th, so check your local listings.  In the meantime, check out some creamy video goodness…the trailer and a ‘behind the scenes.’  Man, this one looks to be a good one.  If you like THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK, NIGHT OF THE DEMON(1980), or CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE, you’re just about damn primed to watch this one.  Check it out!

If you’re itchin’ for more from the dastardly duo of Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, search out an early directorial effort HeadCheese, shot on locations of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  It’s a rather creepy flick.
