Olympians Isaac Cooper and Matt Jaissle share a healthy taste for cult classics like Night of the Living Dead and Grindhouse. Inspired by the genre and dedicated to their passion, the gruesome twosome has made four gritty features. Most notable was The Necro Files. With Jaissle directing and Cooper acting, they won over enough of the B movie audience to get international distribution.
Their latest feature, Drug Cult, an action thriller filled with smart, "Oh shit I can't look" scenes will leave you cringing for more.
Despite Cooper working solo on the editing end, and Jaissle mainly directing, the pair tend to bleed into each other's work - acting essentially as Jacks of all trades when it comes to props, make-up, acting, etc. The two are thankful for the hard work and contributions - not only from one another - but also from friends turned actors or vice versa.
The movie stars local actors including Marisa Tomei's cousin, Anthony Tomie.
Currently Jaissle is planning a special screening of Drug Cult, with a few extra surprises in this "re-mix" of the original - including with extra scare scenes and sub-plots - for Sunday, March 21 at The Brotherhood Lounge in Olympia. It starts at 7 p.m., and is totally free.
[The Brotherhood Lounge, Drug Cult, Sunday, March 21, 7 p.m., free, 119 Capitol Way N., Olympia, 360.352.4153]
