Cold in July

I’m going to be hitting the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal this month, and one of the movies playing at the festival that I’m most looking forward to is this one: Cold in July from Stake Land director Jim Mickle. Not only is this trailer great, not only does it have a good cast, but it’s based on a novel by Joe Lansdale. Who is that? Why, only the writer of Bubba Ho-tep, one of the greatest movies ever made. But for all that Bubba Ho-tep was campy and tongue-in-cheek, this looks like some serious Cormac McCarthy business.
