A Cinema Wasteland screening of writer/director James Anthony Bickert's 2011 exploitation/horror biker film DEAR GOD NO! was one of the loudest, rowdiest screenings I have ever been in attendance for. The reaction viewers had to the gory violence perpetrated by the biker gang called The Impalers showed very clearly that there was an enthusiastic audience for what Bickert had created. Seeing that enthusiasm, the filmmaker has gone big with his DEAR GOD NO! follow-up FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS, which
centers on the re-animation of the South's most notorious biker gang – The Impalers. Dr. Marco and his assistant are performing gruesome experiments in their asylum lab and have resurrected the thrill-kill motorcycle club to capture a Bigfoot carrying a pathogen that will allow them to perform a human head transplant. When news of the gang's resurrection draws the attention of bounty hunters, law enforcement and rival gangs, the lofty aspirations of these mad scientist start to spiral out of control. Things get even worse for the occupants when failed experiments escape from the basement and their lab is attacked by a bomb-happy femme fatale named Val.
Bickert shot this exploitation extravaganza on Super 35mm film and gathered together a cast that includes Jett Bryant, Tristan Risk, Laurence Harvey, celebrity chef Jim Stacy, Ellie Church, Paul McComiskey, Madeline Brumby, and burlesque performer Gia Nova to bring the throwback insanity to the screen.
Bickert and the actors listed above will be in attendance for the world premiere of FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS, which is set to happen tomorrow, April 2nd, at the 40th Annual Atlanta Film Festival. The red carpet event will be held at the Plaza Theatre, the oldest independent theatre in Atlanta, at 9:30pm.
