The Wild West will run red with blood in the upcoming sagebrush slasher RED ON YELLA, KILL A FELLA, the new horror western from writer/directors Duane Graves and Justin Meeks, who previously did the fact-inspired THE WILD MAN OF THE NAVIDAD and the Kim Henkel-scripted BUTCHER BOYS.
I love westerns almost as much as I love horror flicks so I'm always down for it when the two genres collide. When done right, it's a lotta fun (DEAD BIRDS and J.T. Petty's THE BURROWERS come to mind), but when it's a half-assed attempt it usually leaves me fuming (I'm looking at you GALLOWWALKERS!). Here's hoping that RED ON YELLA, KILL A FELLA can deliver.
In the autumn of 1900, outlaw Claude Barbee puts his "retirement plan" into action, attempting to lead his gang across Texas to recover a cash loot hidden after a botched railroad robbery. They soon discover they're being hunted by more than just the law – but rather a merciless, unexpected evil quite possibly greater than themselves.
The film stars Justin Meeks, Paul McCarthy-Boyington, Bridger Zadina, Deon Lucas, Greg Kelly, the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE’s Edwin Neal, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2’s Bill Johnson, Sonny Carl Davis and genre icon Michael Berryman.
