So now I'm assigned 1313: Actor Slash Model. I haven't been watching much of David DeCoteau's 21st century output - prior to this assignment the most recent movie I'd seen of his was Puppet Master: Axis of Evil - another underbudgeted and underdone Full Moon movie that could have been so much better. 1313 movies were made by DeCoteau since 2010, and that's not counting the seven other movies he's made through that same period. The twelfth and thirteenth of these movies (!) are in post production right now - all 13 of the.er. For the last year or so David DeCoteau has been working overtime - producing and directing a series of movies under the blanket title 1313 - again horror themed flicks with lots of good looking young men in the cast. They feature casts full of attractive young men who have a penchant for spending a great deal of time shirtless as something monstrous goes on. I started to avoid movies with his name on them.Īncient Evil was the first movie under DeCoteau's Rapidheart Pictures banner - and as DeCoteau came out of the closet in his personal life - or at least became more visible in the fan community as a gay man - he geared most of the Rapidheart productions into gay themed horror films - movies like The Brotherhood and its five sequels (so far) and Beastly Boyz. I couldn't wrap my head around how the same filmmaker who'd provided the low budget thrills and character actor goodness on view in Puppet Master III could also be the guy who'd cranked out Ancient Evil - but there it was. How bad was it.it was soooo bad I'll be assigning it to someone in Project Terrible Round 8. Then came Ancient Evil: Scream of the Mummy. But when his stuff was good it was a lot of fun, so I watched nearly every movie the man made, enjoying them for the most part. I thought he did a corker job with the third Puppet Master movie, and that led me to seek out some of his other non-Full Moon movies - some of which I really liked ( Nightmare Sisters) and some I found merely okay ( Creepozoids). I first became aware of him when he was directing for Charlie Band during the early Full Moon days back in the early 90's. Let's talk about David DeCoteau for a moment. (l to r) Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer, and Brinke Stevens The seventh round of this blog fest - the second for LGOOH - gets off to a meh start with one of the 1313 horror flicks from prolific producer/director David DeCoteau - which was assigned to me by Alec over at Mondo Bizarro.ĭavid DeCoateau - reunited with his Nightmare Sisters.
