Neon Noir, the creative team behind the stalker thriller Blind, its still-unreleased sequel Pretty Boy, the slasher That’s a Wrap, and the upcoming horror film Garden of Eden, is back at it. Deadline reports that they have just wrapped production on Brute 1976, a horror project described as an homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. The original, ’70s versions of those films happen to be two of my all-time favorites, so this movie already has my attention.
Directed by Marcel Walz from a screenplay by Joe Knetter, Brute 1976 begins with Raquel and her girlfriend, whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere as they travel to a photoshoot in the desert to celebrate Bicentennial unity . They stumble across an abandoned mine and explore it, while the photoshoot group replace her with make-up artist Sunshine and then find abandoned town Savage, which has a violent history...

Marcel Walz is channeling the spirit of 1970s classics with his next horror movie Brute 1976, and Deadline brings us details and a first look this morning.
From Neon Noir, the upcoming Brute 1976 is said to be a love letter to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, with Joe Knetter (Twilight of the Dead) writing.
Deadline details, “Brute 1976 will begin with the story of Raquel and her girlfriend, whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere as they travel to a photoshoot in the desert to celebrate Bicentennial unity. They stumble across an abandoned mine and explore it, while the photoshoot group replace her with make-up artist Sunshine and then find abandoned town Savage, which has a violent history but is the perfect place to take some photos.
“However, a family of masked psychopaths has claimed the town for themselves and are hell bent on it living up to its name.

Plot: When filmmaker Mason Maestro throws a private party after production wraps on his new slasher flick, someone dressed like the killer in the movie starts knocking off the partiers one-by-one.
Review: After working together on the stalker film Blind (read my review at This Link) and its sequel Pretty Boy (which we’re still anxiously waiting to see), director Marcel Walz, screenwriter Joe Knetter, and star Sarah French have teamed up once again to launch a production company called Neon Noir. Their first production is That’s a Wrap, a giallo slasher that takes both clear inspiration from the works of Italian filmmakers like Mario Bava and Dario Argento – especially due to the fact that Walz and cinematographer Marcus Friedlander have soaked nearly every shot in colorful lighting – and from the Scream franchise, in that it’s a meta film where the characters work in the horror business.

Making its California premiere at the Dances With Films Festival later this month, the indie werewolf short Let It Kill You looks to put a unique twist on lycanthrope mythology.
Bloody Disgusting has been told, “The story presents an intriguing concept that the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead—the Anubis—was perhaps the first-known werewolf.”
The clip that we’re exclusively sharing today features a very different practical effects werewolf transformation, with the creature emerging from a mummified-shaped cocoon.
In the film from writer/director/composer David Cornue…
“When a disillusioned American soldier unearths an alleged enemy combatant from a tomb, he fights to prove the man’s innocence, only to discover his new friend may have been buried alive for a reason.”
Let It Kill You will be screening as part of Midnight Shorts Block 1 on June 24, at 11:45pm. You can learn more over on the official Dances With Films Festival website.

Adam Bucci is a Los Angeles-based actor and visual artist making a name for himself with his painted denim jackets.
Matt Bomer recently Instagrammed the jacket Bucci made for him featuring a portrait of Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in the “Alien” franchise. “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Karen Gillan also showed off a Bucci design of a majestic lion’s head on Instagram.
Bucci, 37, began his side business — officially called Small Town Weirdo — two years ago, but he refocused his energy on painting when acting jobs and the development of a werewolf film he’s working on with his husband, Adam Huss, slowed down due to the pandemic.
“After the initial shock of lockdown wore off I needed a way to stay creative,” Bucci tells Variety. “I dusted off my paints and brushes, invested in 20 jackets and got to work.” Ranging in price from $300 to $2,000, commissions can take up to 13 weeks to complete.

The coronavirus has shut down film and TV production, so horror filmmakers Matt Leslie (“Summer of ’84”) and Dylan Mulick (“Nvrlnd”) decided to take matters into their own hands and film a horror short, titled “Zoom Cloud Hack – #91784 – The Tribe Murders,” in the confines of their own home.
“We got together for coffee one day, socially distanced of course, and Dylan said, ‘dude I’m climbing walls, I need to do something,’ and I said, ‘well what we can do?'” Leslie told TheWrap. “We started talking about making a horror short and Dylan came up with the Zoom idea and then we started riffing.”
A day later, the duo had a script, Mulick said. And a day and a half after that, they were fully cast with actors they felt confident in to pull together a film that wasn’t going to be pieced together on a set.

Last year we were happy to share the web series EastSiders right here on TheBacklot. The dark comedy starring Van Hansis (As the World Turns) and Kit Williamson (Mad Men) made its cable broadcast debut as a feature film on LogoTV, scored wins at both the Indie Series Awards and La Web Fest, received a Satellite Award, spawned a web comic and was eventually released on DVD and VOD by Wolfe Video.
We were wondering if the cast and crew might reunite for more episodes of this great series and– great news– EastSiders will indeed begin shooting a second season this Summer!
A Kickstarter campaign was launched today to finance the new episodes. (The first season was also funded via Kickstarter, reaching it’s goal in just four days and nearly doubling it by the end of the campaign.) The goal for filming a second season has been set at...
