Professionals in the used car sales industry often don't generate sympathy, at least under traditional pop culture depictions. But how would you feel if a one ended up framed for murder and had to deal with supernatural forces? You'll need to watch the upcoming scare film Covet, a unique horror film with some truly inspired casting.

Two Horror Icons Team Up

Covet is guaranteed to draw interest from horror fans as the film features a new cinematic team-up with Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley. Hodder will play the trouble-plagued car salesman trying to prove he didn't murder his mistress. Moseley will appear as Sheriff Troy, but it is unclear whether he'll play a skeptical law enforcement officer, akin to Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive (1993), or a menacing misfit, similar to R. Lee Ermey's Charlie Hewitt from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006).

Details about the film are sparse,...

Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley are both bona fide slasher superstars, and will star together in Brian McQuery's latest horror project, Covet. Hodder portrayed Jason Voorhees across four Friday the 13th films, and Moseley played Otis B. Driftwood in The Devil's Rejects.

Per Variety, the two horror legends will appear in McQuery's sophomore effort, with his first film having been last year's Plea, starring Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp. The official synopsis for Covet reads, “When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.”

Hodder has been a mainstay of the horror genre since he first put on Jason's mask in 1988's Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. He became the first actor to reprise the role of Voorhees, appearing as the masked killer in Friday...

Horror icons Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley are teaming up to star in the indie horror film Covet, Variety has learned.

When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.

The film marks the sophomore effort from writer-director Brian McQuery, who recently helmed Plea with another genre favorite, Heather Lagenkamp.

“I’m thrilled to work with Kane in a role crafted to take advantage of both his intimidating presence and sense of humor,” McQuery said in a statement. “And I can not wait to see what Bill Moseley will do with his portrayal of Sheriff Troy.”

Covet is produced by Spyder Dobrofsky under his Worlds Apart banner.

Two slasher icons are preparing to share the screen.

Kane Hodder, who portrayed Jason Voorhees in four “Friday the 13th” films, and “Devil’s Rejects” star Bill Moseley are teaming up to star in a new horror-thriller named “Covet,” Variety can exclusively reveal.

Per the official synopsis, “When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.”

“Covet” is the sophomore effort from writer and director Brian McQuery, who directed “Plea” last year starring “Nightmare on Elm Street” alum Heather Lagenkamp.

“I’m thrilled to work with Kane in a role crafted to take advantage of both his intimidating presence and sense of humor. And I can not wait to see what Bill Moseley will do with his portrayal of Sheriff Troy,” McQuery said in a statement.

While she may be best known to horror fans as the ever-resourceful Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors before going on to play herself in Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Heather Langenkamp has been slaying it both on the screen and behind the scenes for years, from playing Dr. Georgina Stanton in Mike Flanagan's The Midnight Club and portraying Ellenor in Spider One's Little Bites to writing and directing the short film Washed Away and doing amazing makeup effects work alongside her husband, David Leroy Anderson, at Afx Studio on phenomenal films such as Dawn of the Dead (2004), Cinderella Man, and The Cabin in the Woods.

Staying as busy as ever these days, Heather Langenkamp is continuing to leave a memorable mark on cinema with her latest role as Ruth Dillon, the sister of a man (Steve Mize...

*Updated with additional screening details* Anchor Bay Films has announced a limited La screening engagement taking place for The Victim this week, with Michael Biehn, Jennifer Blanc, and Denny Kirkwood in attendance.

“Good time girls Annie (Jennifer Blanc) and Mary (Danielle Harris) find themselves in a life and death situation. Annie’s life is put in jeopardy when she is witness to a violent act at the hands of two Sheriff’s Deputies (Ryan Honey, Denny Kirkwood). With her pursuers closing in, she stumbles across Kyle (Michael Biehn, Terminator, Aliens, The Rock), a recluse living in the middle of the woods. A rugged loner, Kyle finds the stillness of the woods comforting. He keeps civilization at arm’s length; that is – until a single knock on his door throws his solitary life into chaos. Two worlds collide in this nerve-fraying thriller that will keep audiences guessing until the very last frame.

I can’t tell you how much I love the 1986 comedy Running Scared. I have watched on home video too many times to count, but I’ve never seen it on the big screen. That is about to change because the New Beverly Cinema is hosting a 25th Anniversary Q & A screening on September 28th at 8 Pm. Schedules permitting, the guests will be Director Peter Hyams and actors Darlanne Fluegel, Steven Bauer and Jon Gries.

Ray and Danny are the wild men of the Windy City’s police force. The pair’s unorthodox methods get results in a tough town – until they come up against Julio Gonzales (Jimmy Smits, “NYPD Blue”), a smooth-talking drug dealer who is bucking to become Chicago’s first Spanish Godfather. Trying to nail Gonzales, they blow a delicate undercover operation and are sent on a forced vacation to Key West – where they discover the good...

It’s no contest. The Los Angeles revival theater The New Beverly is the place to join hardcore cinefiles for the best movie experience this side of the Alamo Drafthouse. They show everything from horror, science fiction, fantasy, to, well, whatever genre they want. That’s what makes them so unique. And on a lot of occassions, they bring in talent from a particular film to do an impromptu retrospective before a screening. Such is the case with Fred Dekker’s 1986 late night classic Night of the Creeps. A good friend of mine, Brian McQuery, has locked in Night of the Creeps and The Monster Squad helmer Fred Dekker for a Q and A that is sure to bring the house down.

Here are the specifics. The festivities begin on Saturday, July 2 at 11:30Pm at The New Beverly located at 7165 Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles, California.
