I’d just like to preface this article by stating that I’ve recently become
a very big fan of the “anthology concept” for horror, especially when the
entire feature is tied together through some creative means. Hence, I’m
already
a bit excited regarding the new flick heading down the pike called DRIVE-IN
HORRORSHOW. Yes, it will be telling five separate stories that are all
introduced by “The Projectionist” (above) who owns the broken-down drive-in
theater showing each movie. Plus zombies and other creatures work there as the
employees. How f*cking fantastic is that?!
Have a look at a brief synopsis of each of the five flicks: PIG, a tale of
vengeance involving some cocky frat guys who get taught a deadly lesson; THE
CLOSET, about a young boy who thinks he’s found a way to get back at his
emotionally abusive family; FALL APART, in which a doctor who treats the
homeless
is stricken by a strange sickness he catches from one of his patients; THE
MEAT MAN, in which a couple of kids think they may be the next victims of a
cannibal killer stalking their town; and THE WATCHER, set in a forest where two
young couples are terrorized by the titular, animalistic murderer.
Wowzers! That really sounds like some good shit! This flashy piece of genre
brilliance is coming to us from director/co-writer Michael Neel who says,
“I’
m a lifelong horror fanatic. Slashers, monsters, cannibals, zombies,
werewolves—the list goes on, and I love them all. Each story has its own
tone, and
set of challenges: Some are a mix of horror and comedy, like the old Corman
films, and others are more oppressive and tense, without much comic relief. For
certain tales we wanted to deliberately go over the top and stylize them,
and for others we tried to make them seem as real as possible.”
Well, I’m sold. According to Neel, most of DRIVE-IN is already shot and he
hopes to have the whole movie done by early 2009. As for the cast, the only
names that have some slight form of notoriety are two people who have won
SURVIVOR: soccer dork Ethan Zohn and dumb brat Jenna Morasca. For more info and
