It looks like Fall Down Dead will make it to theaters after all, this December. Directed by Jon Keyes, Fall Down Dead follows the struggle of Christie (Dominique Swain) against The Picasso Killer (Udo Kier (!)), who mutilates victims for art’s sake. After Christie discovers the serial killer’s identity, she becomes trapped inside a building with a bumbling security guard (David Carradine (!!)), two detectives, and a few Christmas Eve stragglers – all now at the mercy of The Picasso Killer.

If Kier as a serial killer sounds promising, Keyes tells us we have reason to be excited, calling the movie, “part slasher film and part psychological thriller. The movie takes place during a city wide blackout so we were able to play a lot with shadows to create a tense atmosphere and really ramp up the suspense. I think we have a great mixture of tension and terror… and Udo Kier is just downright creepy as The Picasso Killer. I think horror fans are going to love what Udo does with the role.” (more…)
