Marshall to write and direct Old West horror film
Most of you may never have heard of writer/director Neil Marshall, but I'm a bona fide fan after seeing "The Descent," easily the best horror film made in the past 5 years (and maybe beyond).
His new film (opening this week) is "Doomsday," about a group of survivors of a deadly plague who were quarantined by the government, then abandoned to die. When the disease breaks out in the free world again years later, the government sends people in to find out how some survived.
Anyway, Marshall's next project is to be called "Sacrilige," and he'll again write and direct. Variety reports that the film is a "gritty" horror film drawing on themes of isolation, and Marshall calls it "'Unforgiven' by way of H.P. Lovecraft."
And if you've never seen "The Descent" and you like horror movies, check it out. It's a disturbing, claustrophobic, and affecting tale of a group of women who go spelunking in a cave, only to find its cannibalistic mutant inhabitants all too happy to see them.
