In 1985, at a particularly young age, I was introduced to Stuart Gordon by way of a rental from a local video store. The film was Re-Animator and the production value on the whole product knocked me out. It was the first time I realized that films without mass distribution could be just as good, if not better, than all the movies showing at your local theaters.

Stacy Keach is a great actor. He’s been in front of the camera for well over fifty years. He’s performed in the all time highs of Shakespearean dramas as well as the lowbrow humor of Cheech and Chong. He’s worked for some of the greats, including directors John Huston and Robert Altman, as well as playwright Arthur Miller. He’s also kept his feet loosely planted in genre pictures. Three of my favorite cult films feature Stacy Keach in leading roles.

Working on the fringes of mainstream cinema and surviving over twenty-five years in the industry, cult director
David DeCoteau helped open the door for the direct-to-video horror movement back in the ’80s — a brand of exploitation cinema reminiscent of the classic genre films of Roger Corman and William Castle. With more than fifty titles under his belt as either director, producer and/or writer, David DeCoteau can be considered one of the most prolific independent cult directors of our generation.
