Stephen J. Hadden, writer/director of the new sci-fi shocker Bio-dead, got in touch with the news that his movie (which we previously reported on here) has been picked up by Lightning Media for North American and UK distribution. He also passed on a couple of new exclusive pics, which you can see below.
Bio-dead, which was produced by Manfred Drews II and stars Socket’s Derek Long, Matthew C. Norton, Tony Williams (first photo), Rick Hall and Jacob W. Gentry (second photo), takes place in a near future where Southern California has been rendered uninhabitable by a bioterrorist attack. A hazmat team enters a contaminated region known as “The Zone,” and begin to suffer frightening hallucinations as well as attacks by a vicious predator. “We are thrilled that Bio-dead has found a home with Lightning Media,” Hadden says. “I was immediately impressed with Lightning’s vast catalog of horror,...

Writer/director Stephen J. Hadden sent along the exclusive makeup FX photo seen below and some info on his new fright feature Bio-dead. The pic features actor Derek Long, recently seen in Socket, in the midst of a sequence in which prosthetics “were applied to his face and torso to simulate knife wounds, burns and a gouged-out eye,” Hadden tells us.
Long stars in Bio-dead as Benson, leader of a hazmat team sent to search for survivors after terrorists unleash a lethal toxic weapon into the atmosphere over Southern California. Deep within the uninhabitable region known as “The Zone,” they come across what appears to be an empty building, but after venturing inside, they soon find themselves being stalked by a vicious predator, while suffering from frightening hallucinations.
“Bio-dead was inspired by my love for postapocalyptic cinema, especially the films made by the Italians in the early 1980s,” Hadden says.
