Gary Dauberman, through his Coin Operated banner, is teaming with Brightburn director David Yarovesky to develop a new horror movie, He Never Dies, Deadline reports today.

It appears the title is apt, as the logline reads: “The man they killed keeps coming back. Bigger. Stronger. Less human. No matter what they do…He. Never. Dies.”

Of course, no details have been revealed beyond that, but it feels safe to predict that it’ll be vastly different from He Never Died, which starred Henry Rollins as an immortal cannibal unable to die.

Both Dauberman and Yarovesky, who will write and direct the upcoming project, have been sticking closely to the genre space recently. Yarovesky most recently helmed Locked, a Sam Raimi-produced thriller starring Anthony Hopkins and Bill Skarsgård. He previously directed Netflix’s gateway horror fantasy movie Nightbooks.

Dauberman most recently produced Until Dawn, the feature adaptation of the beloved...

Tubi has been stepping up their game with horror originals in recent years, with films including Slay, Killer Body Count and Lowlifes all being worth your time. And the free streaming service is kicking off the new year with another fresh Tubi original horror movie that’s worth a watch, with the home invasion horror-comedy Don’t Mess With Grandma now streaming.

Don’t Mess With Grandma premiered at Fright Fest last year, and Bloody Disgusting’s own Trace Thurman called it “another solid product from the consistently surprising Tubi.”

Trace’s review continued, “Leaning into heartfelt sincerity, hilariously awkward confrontations and plenty of violence, [it’s] an enjoyable crowd-pleaser that’s sure to earn plenty of laughs.”

From director Jason Krawczyk (He Never Died), Don’t Mess With Grandma slashes into home invasion tropes with a subversive sense of humor, with the cast including Michael Jai White, Jackie Richardson, Billy Zane, Miles Faber, and Ess Hödlmoser.

Ten years ago, writer/director Jason Krawczyk brought the world the horror comedy He Never Died, which introduced viewers to a badass immortal character named Jack (played by Henry Rollins), who had been around for thousands of years. The follow-ups planned for that film haven’t made it into production, but now, Krawczyk is back with the action comedy Don’t Mess with Grandma (which was filmed under the title Sunset Superman), starring Michael Jai White. I had the chance to watch the movie several months ago and had a lot of fun with it (you can read my 8/10 review at This Link), and a larger audience will have the opportunity to enjoy it when it reaches the free streaming service Tubi on January 24th!

Don’t Mess with Grandma shows us what happens when a drunk Army ranger must fight off the vicious robbers who plan to loot the cabin belonging to his sweet,...

Jason Krawczyks last directorial effort is 2015's punchy "bullets, blood, and Bingo" flick He Never Died. His comeback project, the Tubi original Don't Mess With Grandma (aka Sunset Superman), hopes to channel the same indie action gumption. It's a home invasion action-comedy starring the indomitable Michael Jai White, who exudes his typical kick-ass charms as he defends a helpless old lady. Humor exists in the form of bumbling crooks meeting their musclebound match, but overall execution lacks energy, and consistency withers. Corny cuteness becomes the film's calling card as Jai White womps baddies between sympathetic senior caretaking which is never as entertaining as that sentence sounds.

It sounds like Tubi has their hands on an action-comedy gem, as Black Dynamite and Blood and Bone star Michael Jai White returns to the genre in Dont Mess With Grandma. The movie has now debuted at Fantastic Fest and the first reviews hail Dont Mess With Grandma (which was formerly titled Sunset Superman) as the perfect twist on the home invasion movie, with White proving once again that he is the unsung hero of action movies.

We begin with Cody Hamman of JoBlo, who awarded the action comedy a stellar score of 8/10, calling Dont Mess With Grandma one of Whites best.

Krawczyk may not be fond of the title Dont Mess with Grandma, but if all goes well, this is a title well be hearing action and comedy fans mention frequently in the future, because the movie is a blast to watch and deserves to be referenced and recommended.

Nine years ago, writer/director Jason Krawczyk brought the world the horror comedy He Never Died, which introduced viewers to a badass immortal character named Jack (played by Henry Rollins), who had been around for thousands of years. This character had franchise potential that Krawczyk and Rollins were well aware of; they were planning to continue his story through a feature sequel and an eight episode mini-series. But for some reason, they were never able to get a follow-up off the ground, and Krawczyk’s sequel script ended up being rewritten into a film called She Never Died, which focused on a different character and wasn’t directed by Krawczyk. According to online trivia, the action comedy thriller Don’t Mess with Grandma (which Krawczyk wrote and directed under his preferred title of Sunset Superman) is a project that grew out of the filmmaker’s frustration over the He Never Died franchise not gaining traction.

Toronto-based Raven Banner has added the Michael Jai White action film Sunset Superman and road rage thriller Cold Road to its Cannes slate.

Jason Krawczyk, who directed 205 SXSW fantasy He Never Died, wrote and directed Sunset Superman starring White as Jt, a gentle giant helping his grandmother fix the leaky sink in her secluded cabin.

When the cabin is targeted by a gang of home invaders led by the unhinged Stan, played by Billy Zane, Jt must fend off growing number of thugs while keeping his grandmother – whom he fears the most— oblivious to the escalating mayhem.

The episode of Revisited covering Wrong Turn 2: Dead End was Written by Emilie Black, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Narrated by Niki Minter, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

A long, long time ago, in a state deep in the woods, a bunch of people were eaten by cannibal hillbillies in a film called Wrong Turn. Soon, the locals to where the film was taking place got very angry about the depiction of their fellow mountain and wood residents, which they thought gave them a bad name. Horror fans responded by seeing the film anyways, making it a minor hit. The first film had a budget of $12.6 million and made $28.7 million at the box office. While this may lead to a sequel at times, it was not a given. Fast forward to 4 years later and we are gifted with the first of a long series of sequels.

Choice paralysis is a byproduct of the digital age and late capitalism. Everyone has felt it — you're standing in the blindingly fluorescent supermarket aisle, surrounded by hundreds of brands of crackers, wondering just which one you want, thinking that it would almost feel easier to live in a totalitarian society with one simple choice ('Crackers-Brand Crackers'). People experience this in the streaming world as well, scrolling through title after title, reading or doing research about each, until more time has been spent searching for a movie on Netflix than it would've taken to watch one.

Algorithms don't exactly make it easier, either. These predictive strings of mathematical code anticipate one's every want, changing the titles on a home page based upon what's previously been watched. The problem is, this can create a feedback loop in which one only sees what one has already seen (or something close to it). The...

As with all the best banned items, killer tomatoes have now gone underground, with a thriving black market...

One of my favourite films from last years Grimmfest was the stunning vampire movie come theological horror He Never Died, (review) which sees Henry Rollins play Jack, a social outcast, who is thrust out of his comfort zone when the outside world bangs on his door and he can’t contain his violent past. As it turns out, there are very few reasons to live when you can’t die…

Welcome back to This Week In Discs where we check out tomorrow’s new releases today! He Never Died Jack (Henry Rollins) is something of a loner. He eats at the same diner every day, he plays Bingo at the same church every week, and he meets the same immoral hospital intern every few days to buy… something. He has little need for anyone else but that begins to change when two women come into his life. Cara is a waitress at the diner, and while Jack is a man of few words he’s still managed to hit it off with her to some small degree.

It sounds like we already have our first great horror movie of 2016. Following its much talked about screenings at Sundance, the Farsi-language horror movie Under The Shadow is set for a worldwide release, thanks to Vertical Entertainment, Netflix, and Xyz Films:

Los Angeles, CA (January 23, 2016) – Vertical Entertainment and Xyz Films have partnered for global distribution of the Farsi-language horror thriller Under The Shadow, which will have its world premiere at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.

Hi Everyone! I hope you’ve had a great 2015 – at the very least, survived, and can stumble into the New Year with renewed vigor and reduced credit card charges. For me, 2015 was pretty great overall, especially as this website took a chance on a Canucklehead who loves to write about horror. So before I get started I’d like to give a shout out to the amazing folks at Daily Dead: Jonathan, Heather, Derek, Patrick, Monte, and Tamika (and if I’ve forgotten anyone, I apologize). Great writers and horror junkies, all, but more importantly – great people. Thanks everyone for letting me do my thing. Without any ado, my faves of 2015!

I’m not sure if it’s because I had the opportunity to see and watch more this year, but to me, 2015 seems like it was such an exceptional year for genre films across the board. Once again, indie horror gave us a bevy of incredible films from a variety of subgenres, and even studio films seemed to step things up this year as well (a trend I do hope continues). Here’s a look at some of my favorite genre offerings from this year:

Turbo Kid: One of two movies in 2015 that left me with a huge, goofy-ass grin on my face from start to finish was Turbo Kid, the wickedly fun post-apocalyptic story of a young hero, an evil warlord, a quirky sidekick and her gnome stick. From its synth score to its unforgettable characters to its over-the-top gore to its ginormous, genre-loving heart, Turbo Kid is...

There are bucket lists... and then there's Henry Rollins' bucket list. After rising to notoriety as the lead singer of Black Flag in the '80s, Rollins has built on his punk legacy to become one of America's most unique cultural filters. And to his ever-growing list of accomplishments, he can now add movie star. As the immortal antihero Jack in Jason Krawczyk's "He Never Died," Rollins' role allowed him to bring his rigorous work ethic to yet another creative endeavor. On this week's episode of Indiewire Influencers, Rollins speaks with Indiewire Editor in Chief Dana Harris about the mental training and the wide swath of life experiences necessary to maintain his kind of output.   As a veteran of auditions, Rollins says he's intimately familiar with the process of being rejected from any number of potential gigs. "You better know some failure. Otherwise, you become brittle. You gotta...

Well here it is, my Top 15 films of 2015. If you’ve ever read one of my end of year lists, you’ll know that my choices tend to be a million miles away from the mainstream; and this year is no different! This year has been Amazing for films, I could easily had penned a list of 52 films – one for each week of the year – but instead I managed to narrow down the choices to 28 films quite swiftly. However, to hit this years target of a Top 15 (for 2015 geddit?) it took a hell of a lot of work. I think this list even surprises me – there’s a number of films that going back over the 508[!] films we’ve reviewed here on Nerdly in 2015, at the time I reviewed them, I didn’t expect would stay with me till the end of the very end of the year. Oh, and...

Henry Rollins stars in the action-comedy He Never Died, which just opened in select theaters in the U.S. over the weekend, and is also available to watch via various Video On Demand platforms. We have an exclusive clip to share -- it's definitely Nsfw (Not Safe For Work), hide the kids -- featuring Rollins jumping into a body of water with an unwilling companion, and then Nsfw language is expressed, leading to a few more Nsfw moments. (Did I mention that it's Not Safe For Work?) I haven't seen the movie yet, but our own Zach Gayne checked it out at SXSW earlier this year and commented thusly: Rollins plays an eternity-old lug named Jack, who, suffice it to say, is lately feeling a little...
