Bogatzki co-wrote and co-produced the film with Marc Engel. The latter also stars as the titular Xavier in the story of a man who by day works at a car wash but by night is a brutal and vicious serial killer who targets young women.

2017 has been a strong year for horror—indie or otherwise—which means it has been tough keeping up with everything that has been released over the last eight-plus months. Here are my thoughts on a pair of films that I recently had the opportunity to watch, Michael Walker’s meta slasher Cut Shoot Kill and the zombie-themed It Stains the Sands Red from Colin Minihan.
Cut Shoot Kill: The biggest thing I look for whenever I go into any movie is whether or not the director at hand has any surprises in store for me as a viewer. And while Cut Shoot Kill may not seem all that revolutionary upon first glance, I must tip my hat to writer/director Walker, who did an admirable job subverting my expectations with his “movie within a movie,” often finding clever ways to blur the lines between fact and fiction for his ambitious story.

Arriving on VOD on August 8th courtesy of Freestyle Digital Media is writer/director Michael Walker’s intriguing movie-within-a-movie (one of this writer’s favorite cinematic sub-genres), Cut Shoot Kill, which follows an up-and-coming actress named Serena Brooks (Alexandra Socha) who gets more than she bargains for when she accepts the leading role in a low-budget horror movie helmed by underground director Alabama Chapman (Alex Hurt), who takes the violence in his films to disturbing levels.
Daily Dead recently spoke with Walker about his latest film, and he chatted about creating an unusual narrative to Cut Shoot Kill, collaborating with his film’s leads, the challenges of being a filmmaker, and more.
Congrats on the unique approach to this story. I enjoyed that you did an interesting concept here, in terms of a horror movie that's getting made but you don't quite know what's happening because you’re not sure...
