Michael Berryman and Edwin Neal will Kill or Be Killed on March 1st

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The directing duo of Duane Graves and Justin Meeks haven't cut ties to the 1974 classic THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. TCM co-writer Kim Henkel, who co-produced their 2008 feature debut THE WILD MAN OF NAVIDAD and wrote their second feature, 2012's BUTCHER BOYS, doesn't appear to have had any involvement with their third film, the upcoming horror/Western KILL OR BE KILLED, but TCM co-star Edwin Neal does play a role in it.

Also in the cast are THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2's Leatherface Bill Johnson, THE HILLS HAVE EYES' Michael Berryman, Full Moon regular Sonny Carl Davis, Arianne Margot, Paul McCarthy-Boyington, Luce Rains, Bridger Zadina, Deon Lucas, Karrie Cox, Greg Kelly, Larry Grant Harbin, and Meeks himself.

We first heard about this project back in March of 2014, when it was going by the title RED ON YELLA, KILL A FELLA. On March 1st, 2016, we'll finally get a chance to see the film when it reaches VOD and DVD under its new title, courtesy of RLJ Entertainment.

KILL OR BE KILLED tells the following story:

Claude “Sweet Tooth” Barbee and his gang of cutthroat outlaws – the most wanted men in Texas – are on a desperate ride across five hundred miles of badlands to recover a fortune in hidden loot from their most daring robbery. But Barbee and his crew aren’t the only coldblooded killers riding the range. With a large “dead or alive” cash bounty on their heads, the outlaws are being picked off one by one. What began as a hard journey driven by greed becomes a feverish race to survive in what the Austin Chronicle calls ‘a spaghetti Western chock-full of grit and blood’.

I love when the horror and Western genres get mixed together and I'm a fan of several of the cast members, so KILL OR BE KILLED is one that I will definitely be checking out.
