KILLER COCKS Invade Texas [New Blood News]

Final month, I had the pleasure to attend a movie shoot for an area indie horror function, smack dab in the midst of Central Texas, my neck of the woods. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on any set, not to mention a horror one, so this was a chance I wouldn’t enable myself to move up! I needed to witness film magic proper in entrance of my face once more, to see behind the curtains, to look at the strings pulled to make the blood-stained puppets dance to appease no matter sleazy artwork gods exist in realms unknown. The identify of the movie? Killer Cocks

… As in chickens, you gutter goblins.

Within the movie:

“After a mysterious meteor bathe crashes into Wacky, Texas, the chickens begin mutating into bloodthirsty killing machines. Two native egg farmers, outcast, and a few native heroes band collectively to battle off the feathered freaks of nature.”

Consider it as a religious successor to Poultrygeist: Night time of the Rooster Lifeless, full with Lloyd Kaufman. The way in which the movie was made permeated this sense—good ol’ home made gonzo-horror full with hammy performing, crude jokes, and loads of faux blood to maintain the schlock gears lubricated. A number of acquainted faces from the indie-horror scene had been there, together with Steven Livengood (actor and host of the podcast Reaper’s Underground) and his accomplice Kelsey Livengood (star of such movies as Clown Motel 2 and Night time of the Lifeless Sorority Babes). Every of them, purveyors of the lower-budget horror artscape, had the identical mindset and power flowing by them.

Everybody I met shared an intense love for the style, and confirmed it with none hesitation. Blood spilled, chickens killed, and laughter contaminated the crew because the absurdity of the movie was delivered to life earlier than my very eyes. That is what filmmaking is meant to be. What it all the time SHOULD be. An expertise—a GOOD expertise. Not one missing adversity, however one to look again at fondly, not with disdain. Positive, there’s a number of nice movies made beneath hostile work environments, however a lot had been made beneath a not-so-hostile work setting, as properly.

Now, is Killer Cocks going to be a kind of nice movies? No, most likely not, if I’m being sincere. However I do assume the enjoyable had on set might be felt on display screen. On the finish of the day, a movie is supposed to be entertaining, and I feel to the correct folks, this may do its job flawlessly.

Killer Cocks is directed by James Carnes in his function movie debut, and stars Lloyd Kaufman, Morrigan Thompson, Angel Nicole Bradford, Michael St. Michaels, and Invoice Weeden.

Keep tuned for updates every time I get them.
