The Great William Fichtner Talks ‘Drive Angry’
Currently in theaters is Drive Angry 3D, a super-fun, ridiculously violent (Nicolas Cage decapitates a guy with his car!), and often hilarious account of a man named Milton (Cage) attempting to rescue his infant granddaughter, who has been kidnapped by a cult. Thwarting his attempts is The Accountant, played to perfection by much loved character actor William Fichtner, who has appeared in Armageddon, Perfect Storm, and the TV series “Prison Break”, along with dozens of others. It’s a very showy role, and one of the main highlights of the film. Fichtner talked to BD about his performance as well as working with director Patrick Lussier – check out the video below! And go see Drive Angry, in theaters NOW! Trust me, it’s worth the extra 2 bucks for 3D.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
