Albert Pyun is an independent filmmaker with a very strong cult following among cinephiles from all over the world. His movies, often dealing with fantastic themes, set in faraway lands where androids live next to humans (not in a very friendly way), dystopic planets or urban dramas where guns and high kicks speak louder than words are revered by extreme film buffs while despised by lots of film critics. He started making homemovies before reaching puberty, shooting small adventures on a borrowed 8mm camera and in the sixties, was invited by famous Japanese actor Toshirô Mifune to spend some time in the Land of The Rising Sun to learn filmmaking. His casts are a veritable who’s who in genre and non-genre filmmaking: Kris Kristofferson, Lance Henriksen, Lee Horsley, Richard Lynch, Christopher Lambert, Ice-T, Rob Lowe, Burt Reynolds, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Michael Nouri, Bill Mumy, Michael Paré, Kevin Sorbo, Teri Hatcher, Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay and many others.

Director: Fred Olen Ray
Writer: Fred Olen Ray and T.L. Lankford

Watching a Fred Olen Ray film is like popping happy pills: They’re not exactly healthy for your brain, but they make you laugh anyway.
Indians. They’re best left alone. They have peaceful ways, but if you hassle them, you’re in for some real trouble. History has taught us that. Even from beyond the grave they can come back for revenge. And taking up residence in the eternal spirit world, gives them great powers. Movies have taught us that. And Fred Olen Ray made one about it.

Aka title: Class Reunion Massacre
By the doubling of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.
From a dark lake filling the bottom of an abandoned quarry rises a little boy (Christopher Flint) who then catches a bus. This startling scene, though almost disconnected from the bulk of the film, show us that we’re in for something unusual.
