Bruce McDonald is one of Canada's most prolific directors. He's the guy responsible for two of my favourite Canadian flicks -- Hard Core Logo and Pontypool, which is a Basement favourite. The man's got a great eye and vision, and always brings something unique to the table. So I was pumped to hear McDonald would once again tackle a genre movie, his first being the aforementioned Pontypool. This time he's made a Halloween-themed horror flick about murderous trick or treaters stalking a pregnant teen. Sounds like a can't miss, am I right? I said, am I right? Stick with me!

If you haven't seen Bruce McDonald's brilliant spin on the zombie subgenre, Pontypool , then go do so right now. I said NOW! We'll wait for you to catch up. OK, Brilliant movie, right? Right. So we in The Basement are pumped that McDonald's got another horror tale coming our way in Hellion , and it takes place on All Hallow's Eve. Two times the bad ass. The flick is filming as we speak up here in good ole Canada , and word has it the T-1000 has joined the cast. That's right, Robert Patrick (pictured). Sans liquid metal of course. Hellion stars Chloe Rose as a pregnant teen who must fight for her life when three malevolent trick or treaters come knocking. Patrick plays a cop who comes to her aid. More on this flick as it develops. And yeah, sounds like our pint of ale.
