PopHorror Let's Get Scared
Anyone who’s read my review of Mark Savage’s film, Painkiller (2021), knows how much I love that film. Bringing to light the opioid crisis and combining it with a passionate, pissed off avenger who will do anything to try and quell the grief of his daughter’s passing was exactly what I needed to see at the time, and I still love the message the film brings today. So when I heard Mark was involved in a new film called Bring Him Back Dead, I couldn’t wait to hear more. Listed as a hard-hitting action thriller, Bring Him Back Dead was created from a story by Jeff Miller (our interview), turned into a screenplay by Ben Demaree (Ouija House 2018), and was directed by Painkiller’s Mark Savage (our interview). The film stars Astro’s (2018 – our review) Louis Mandylor and Gary Daniels, Daniel Baldwin (John Carpenter’s Vampires 1998), and Katie Keene (Inoperable 2017 – our review).
I’m so excited to see what happens when you combine Mark Savage, Louis Mandylor, Gary Daniels, and Daniel Baldwin with a bungled robbery, treacherous betrayal, and enraged revenge!
Synopsis:
A violent gang of criminals is ordered, after a botched heist, to track down and eliminate the man who betrayed them and ran off with their loot. Daniels plays the “anti-hero,” while Mandylor plays the leader of the gang and Baldwin a man with mysterious motives.
