The Hitcher and Body Parts creator directs Bigfoot thriller No Man's Ridge

If you're a genre fan -- a TRUE genre fan -- then the name Eric Red means something to you. He wrote the genre classics The Hitcher, Blue Steel and Near Dark, and directed horror faves Body Parts, Bad Moon and 100 Feet.

Now he's back with a new action/horror flick, one that tackles the most infamous monsters of all time: Bigfoot.

Slated to shoot in late 2019, No Man's Ridge follows a team of five heavily armed hunters who go into the woods of Wyoming to bag the biggest game of all . . . you guessed it -- Bigfoot. But they soon find themselves out-manned by a relentless killing machine when they land on the Sasquatch's turf.

Sounds pretty bad ass doesn't it? But it gets better as Red cast John Fallon and Marc Natoli in the flick. Fallon is the writer/director of The Shelter and the upcoming Heretic, and is no stranger to being in front of the camera, having starred in the action flick Deaden and the action/horror movie Dead Shadows.

Natoli made huge waves in the action scene earlier this year as the star of the martial arts short The Proposal.

Genre fave Nick Principe (Laid to Rest, Chromeskull, American Muscle) plays Bigfoot.

The crew so far includes producer and special makeup effects supervisor Robert Kurtzman (The Haunting of Hill House, From Dusk Till Dawn) and producer and special makeup effects designer Steve Johnson (Ghostbusters, Bad Moo). Fallon and Meredith Red will also produce. JoBlo's Berge Garabedian is executive producer.

Line Drive Productions, Bruise Productions Inc and JoBlo Movie Productions and behind the film. This will also be the first film released under the Arrow in the Head Presents banner.

This is shaping up to be one bad-ass mothertrucker. You can keep tabs on the project as it develops via its official Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram. And we'll keep yah updated on No Man's Ridge right here, in The Basement.

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends. With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher. When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up. Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila! Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink. The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink. The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices. In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors. The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort. It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
