He’s recently dabbled in action comedy with Pineapple Express and now David Gordon Green is having a crack at horror for Freaks Of The Heartland.
It’s based on 30 Days Of Night creator Steve Niles' comic series about a kid in a small US town who tries to protect his “monstrous” younger brother and other “freaks” from his parents and the rest of the town who would kill them, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Think The Midwich Cuckoos meets Deliverance, and you’re getting close.
