Horror Icons Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley Team Up for Supernatural Slasher COVET
Two of horror’s most recognizable faces are finally colliding in a new blood-soaked nightmare. Kane Hodder, the stuntman and actor who famously played Jason Voorhees in four Friday the 13th films, and Bill Moseley, the twisted face of The Devil’s Rejects and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, are joining forces for a new horror-thriller titled Covet.
The film comes from writer-director Brian McQuery, whose debut feature Plea starred horror royalty Heather Langenkamp. Covet is described as a supernatural whodunnit with a sinister twist:
“When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.”
McQuery seems ready to tap deep into genre roots while playing to his stars’ strengths. The director said:
“I’m thrilled to work with Kane in a role crafted to take advantage of both his intimidating presence and sense of humor. And I can not wait to see what Bill Moseley will do with his portrayal of Sheriff Troy.”
Covet is being produced by Spyder Dobrofsky under his Worlds Apart banner. Dobrofsky has been steadily carving out a space in indie horror, having recently produced The Weeping, featuring Doug Jones and Reggie Lee, and directed Down Below, starring Eric Roberts and Bai Ling.
Dobrofsky is clearly banking on horror fan fervor with this cast:
“Icons Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley sharing the screen together, with Brian’s wildly original script, is exactly the type of horror we’ve been looking for at Worlds Apart.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring Brian’s vision to life, and give the horror audience the chills, scares, and nostalgia they love so much.”
Both Hodder and Moseley come with serious slasher legacy credentials. Beyond his Friday the 13th legacy, Hodder terrified audiences as Victor Crowley in the Hatchet franchise. Moseley, meanwhile, remains a fan-favorite for his absolutely unhinged turns as Chop Top in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie’s film universe.
They most recently starred together in the horror film Hayride To Hell.
