‘Pizza Shop’ to Deliver the Indie Horror Goods
From George O’Barts comes Pizza Shop, a new indie horror set to wrap production this coming October.
Robert Bielfelt, Cian Patric O’Dowd, Bret Buzek, Jason
Schneider, Matt Pohlman, Marc Buck, Deon Maez, Matt Camp, Chelsea Breibart, and Gary Herkimer all star.
“PIZZA SHOP THE MOVIE is a bizarre mix of horror, suspense and toilet humor that is sure is amuse and disgust young and old alike. The movies tag line “Do you know who’s been alone with your food?” really does illuminate the movies major theme. What goes on in the 20 minutes that passes between the time the pizza delivery driver leaves the shop and arrives at your door is anybody’s guess. It’s best to stack the odds in your favor and tip generously. These mobile soldiers of fortune have an over developed sense of entitlement so great that it can only be paralleled by their distain for people who don’t appreciate who they are. On multiple occasions, the guilty, or at least those perceived by the pizza drivers as such, are punished, frequently in ways that should only be described as less that appetizing.
Among the colorful cast of characters the drivers encounter are a 97-year-old stripper, a serial killer and an affection starved, full bodied ebony Amazon with a taste chocolate syrup and young men. In contrast to the unique clientele there is the struggle to be on top of the delicate balance of power that exists within the pizza shop between the drivers and management.”

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.
