At Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012, I stumbled across a little movie called Jacob (review here), and it completely blew me away. For a completely independent picture made for extremely little money, it packed an emotional punch that few mainstream horror films can pull off.
Truth be told, I've paid to see movies in the theater that display less skill and power than Jacob, and that's a damn shame, but finally someone was wise enough to pick up this gem for distribution, and as of April 16th, Jacob is out on DVD and Blu-ray for your viewing pleasure courtesy of Kino Lorber's Horizon Movies.
Jacob had a return performance at this year's Texas Frightmare Weekend to celebrate its release, and I sat down with main man Larry Carrell to chat about writing, directing, and acting in the film.
Mr. Dark: Give us the background on yourself, and what you've done so far.

The Legend Of Darkhorse County, written and directed by Shawn Welling, is set in the titular town where a serial killer/kidnapper is hunted by Sheriff McElroy, played by veteran actor Lee Majors and Jacob’s Larry Wade Carrell at different ages. “That was so cool for me,” Carrell [pictured below at right with Majors] tells Fango, “because I was the biggest The Six Million Dollar Man fan when I was young. I used to run around, going [mimics Steve Austin’s “bionic” sound effect]. There are these murders going on in Darkhorse County, and McElroy’s on the trail, trying to catch this guy. He’s not really aware of the supernatural force that’s out there, just that these kids keep going missing. As he gets closer to tracking him down, he gets in deeper than he thought he would with the supernatural element.”
