Professional wrestler and rock musician Chris Jericho is teaming with author and filmmaker Jay Bonansinga on psychological thriller “Self Storage.”
The film is based on Bonansinga’s 2016 novel of the same name. It centers on a heroin-addicted father and his son who accidentally lock themselves inside a self-storage unit. Surviving will depend on a battle with demons both real and manufactured by drug withdrawal.
That lead character of John Fitzgerald is slated to be played by Lew Temple. Bonansinga, who previously directed the short “City of Men” (1988) and feature “Stash” (2007), will direct from his own script.
“Self Storage” is the second recent adaptation of a Bonansinga novel, following Lionsgate’s “The Killer’s Game,” based on his 1997 novel, directed by J.J. Perry and starring Dave Bautista. A prolific and bestselling author, Bonansinga is known for co-writing several novels based on “The Walking Dead” comics series, with Robert Kirkman of Skybound Entertainment...

Oh, hillbilly horror. What an ironic and bittersweet hold you have over my imagination. Regardless of how hard I try, I simply cannot bring myself to dislike genre flicks that incorporate the use of expansive wooded areas, bucks of cheap gore, and redneck stereotypes. The blood-soaked trailer for “Stash” director Jacob Ennis’ latest effort “Red River” utilizes all of the above, which all but assures that yours truly will be all over this sucker as soon as fate finds the time to unite us. In a manner of speaking, of course. Ennis is doing Kentucky proud. This one quietly hit DVD at the beginning of February, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for it. No telling where it might turn up. If you’re interested, here’s the plot: Set in a small town in the backwoods of Kentucky, Red River tells the tale of Roland Thatcher: a family man,...

I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that The Wrestler was a pack of lies. Judging by the number of low budget horror movies starring pro wrestlers past their prime instead of being washed up and struggling to make ends meet, Randy the Ram would have been starring in a movie like The Legacy in place of Al Snow. From playing a crazy wrestler that came to the ring with a severed head to playing a crazy killer more likely to sever heads. A natural progression, I think.
I'll just let the synopsis on the official The Legacy website fill you in.
A campy tongue-in-cheek slasher film created as tribute to our favorite B slasher films of the past... Brought to you by the award winning film company "Feathered Italian Films", The Legacy is one hell of a ride.
The film follows a group of young people on their camping vacation.
