I must admit, I’m kinda thrilled to report on two different posthumous David Carradine films in as many days. Yesterday we saw the trailer for a flick called DETENTION, and today we’ve got a host of cool shit for Jon Keeyes’ holiday slasher outing FALL DOWN DEAD.
Keeyes, who’s toiled in the genre with such efforts as AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, SUBURBAN NIGHTMARE and HALLOW’S END, now focuses on his 5th feature film which, if for no other reason, simply rules for bringing David Carradine and Udo Kier together in the same picture. I seriously don’t even need plot details knowing such iconic screen vets are gracing the same flick with their presence.
But in case your unlike me, FALL DOWN DEAD is set on Christmas Eve, and follows single mother Christie Wallace (Dominique Swain) as she stumbles upon The Picasso Killer (Udo Kier), a serial killer who considers his mutilated victims to be works of art. Now the only person who can identify him, Christie becomes trapped inside a building with bumbling security guard Wade (David Carradine), two detectives (R. Keith Harris and Italian star Mehmet Gunsur), and a few Christmas Eve stragglers as The Picasso Killer hunts them down one body at a time.
Ah, the Picasso Killer – what’s not to love? Seriously, nab a gander at Kier’s crazy-killer eyes below to see what kind of maniac we’re dealing with here.
Leveling out the cast is Romanian stunner Monica Barladeanu (below), Jennifer Alden, Austin James, Burgess Jenkins, Renata Batista and Huyen Thi.
FALL DOWN DEAD looks to premiere sometime in December.
