Ronny Yu Will ‘Kill First, Ask Later’, Talks Fear Itself Episode
With Lionsgate’s “Fear Itself” TV series now on DVD everywhere, we caught up with director Ronny Yu (Freddy vs Jason, Bride of Chucky) who brought us the episode “Family Man.” During the interview, we asked him what’s next on his plate and he revealed exclusively to Bloody-Disgusting, “I am developing a 3D action horror blood bath.” The title? “Kill First, Ask Later.” No other details were revealed at this time, but you can read more about “Family Man” below.
Written by Daniel Knauf (“Supernatural,” “Carnivale”), Yu talks about the plot of “Family Man. ”
“This is a story of an ordinary family man, played by Colin Ferguson, with a picture perfect all-American family. One day on his way to work he is involved in a horrific car crash. While fighting for his life in the hospital, some mysterious power has him switch bodies with a serial killer, played by Clifton Collins Jr. who is wounded and has just been captured by the police. What happens next is totally a mind manipulator with a chilling twist at the end that nobody would see coming and it will blow your mind away,” revealing that he collaborated with Knauf, “Yes, and I had a great time collaborating with Daniel.”
He adds that it was difficult shooitng a horror film for TV because, “You have to be aware of the limitations in the areas of violence and gore. [I had to] tone down all the violence and gore.”
When shooting a TV movie, it’s a much different experience than shooting a feature film. Yu talks about what he enjoyed in making a made-for-TV movie. “The limited time allowed on pre-production / production / post production. You have to be fully prepared, make your choice quick and be right on the money. There is no time to think ‘maybe………….’ ”

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
