Exchanging information after an accident on the road is usually the responsible, smart thing to do… except when the car you collided with belongs to a killer. Ahead of Fender Bender’s June 3rd premiere on the Chiller channel, the official trailer for Scream Factory’s new horror film teases the deadliness of the Driver.
Written and Directed by Mark Pavia (Stephen King’s The Night Flier), Fender Bender stars Makenzie Vega (The Good Wife), Dre Davis (Pretty Little Liars, Scavenger Killers), Cassidy Freeman (Smallville, Longmire) and Bill Sage (American Psycho, We Are What We Are). Evocative of the horror-thriller classics of yesteryear, Fender Bender brings you back to a time when the boxes on the shelf at your local video store beckoned you with masked, knife-wielding maniacs and a twisted sense of morals.

Landing somewhere on the spectrum between softcore and torture porn, Scavenger Killers tells the tale of two serial killing sex maniacs on a graphic, murderous rampage. Judge Taylor Limone (Robert Bogue) and defense attorney Clara Lovering (Rachael Robbins) enjoy murdering strangers on a whim. Drawing occupations—like attorney or cowboy—out of a scandalously placed pouch, the duo hunt down victims that match. But, unlike most serial killers, they never kill their victims the same way twice.

Scavenger Killers’ Dylan Bank is the latest subject in our Q&A series, with the director telling us all about the making of his latest movie:
Thanks for taking the time to chat with us Dylan. Can you tell us how you got involved with “Scavenger Killers”?
No problem, I can talk about movies forever, just tell the guy standing right offstage with the big cane to yank me when my time is up. My first film, “Nightmare” played at Ken Del Vecchio’s Hoboken International Film Festival a few years back, and won some awards. Those were sweet awards to win, because they came with cash, and as someone who’d been around the block with festivals across the world, Ken’s festival was one of the best. I mean, he had a comedian hosting it, people getting roasted, clips from the movie, a whole red-carpet ceremony – it was impressive.

Need some more serial killer fare in your life? Midnight Releasing announces the July 1st DVD, VOD and Digital Download release of Scavenger Killers, a blood and guts contemporary tale of justice gone very, very wrong.

New York – In a movie world of cops, mugs, southern governors, priests and Irish pals who had your back, there was none better than Charles Durning, a man that defined character in the term “character actor.” Durning died December 24th in New York City. He was 89 years old.

The character actor's death was confirmed by his daughter, having died last night in his Manhattan home.

The actors first credited role was in the Walter Cronkite-hosted history show from the 1950s called You Are There.
