In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we look at White Lung's Below, directed by Richard Bates Jr. Richard Bates Jr. made an impressive debut with Excision, a gory coming-of-age horror with a powerful central performance for AnnaLynne McCord. In it, a young woman who has an obsession with blood and bodies, goes very far to get back at the people who hurt her and save her sister. It plays like a mix between John Hughes and Jörg Buttgereit, and is exactly as fucked-up as that sentence seems to imply. While Richard Bates Jr. never really fulfilled the promise of Excision, films like Tone-deaf, Trash Fire and King Knight...

Eminem has teamed up with Jack Harlow and Cordae for a remix of “Killer.” The original song appears on the Detroit rapper’s Music to Be Murdered By – Side B, the deluxe edition of his 11th studio album.
The new spin finds the rappers trading verses. Harlow gives props to Eminem as he opens his verse: “I used to rock a toboggan/Headphones around my neck trying to be like Shady. Later, he raps, “I’m on a song with my idol/I’m a cold-blooded version of the song title.

Eminem takes aim at the “cancellation” attempts against him in the rapper’s new animated lyric video for “Tone Deaf,” a track off his 2020 LP Music to Be Murdered By – Side B.
In recent weeks, a TikTok campaign called for Eminem to be “canceled” due to a resurfaced controversial lyric from his 2010 single “Love the Way You Lie” — “If you fucking leave again I’m strap you to this bed and set the house on fire” — Hip Hop Dx reported.

In the music video for “Gnat,” off Eminem’s latest album Music to Be Murdered By: Side B, a beard-sporting Marshall Mathers is admitted to a treatment facility for what we’re led to believe is coronavirus. “They say these bars are like Covid,” Em raps. “You get ‘em right off the bat.” It’s a reference to widely debunked theories about the source of the Covid-19 virus, the sort of thing you might read on Facebook. At another point in the video, Eminem dramatically removes his face mask in...

An English-language film adaptation of Japanese video game “Root Letter,” starring Danny Ramirez, is in production in the U.S. through Akatsuki Entertainment USA. Besides Ramirez, the film stars Keana Marie and Lydia Hearst.
With a screenplay by David Ebeltoft (2016 Tribeca Film Festival’s “Here Alone”), the film is intended as a gritty re-imagining of the game’s core story of a protagonist in search of a former pen pal who disappears under curious circumstances.
The underlying Kadokawa-published game has two main gameplay sequences. First, the player interrogates people who knew the missing girl. Then the player relives the missing years and makes use of clues gathered earlier.
The game was first published in 2016 and has been made available on platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Microsoft Windows, Android and iOS. It sold more than 400,000 copies in Japan and overseas, and is also available on Steam and Nintendo Switch.

In Richard Bates Jr.’s Tone-Deaf (now in theaters and On Demand), Amanda Crew (of Silicon Valley fame) plays Olive, a young woman whose life is not going that well. She loses her boyfriend and her job and on top of that, she has been dealing for quite some time with her father’s suicide, the absence of her now bohemian mother (Kim Delany), and her own broken dream of playing the piano. Looking for some distraction, she rents a house outside of her city for the weekend, however the owner (Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s Robert Patrick) is actually an anti-millienial demented psychopath with his own problems (his wife also killed herself) and an urge to kill. To learn more about Tone-Deaf, here’s the chat I had...

‘Tone-Deaf’ Cast and Director on Their Crazy Baby Boomer Versus Millennials Horror Movie [Interview]
The new film Tone-Deaf stars Robert Patrick as a millennial hating baby boomer who decides it is time for his generation to finally make a stand to today’s youth…by booby-trapping his house and AirBnB-ing it out to a down-on-her-luck self-centered young woman named Olive (played by Amanda Crew).

The kids just aren’t the same anymore and it’s slowly making Harvey (Robert Patrick) go insane. His son (Ronnie Gene Blevins’ David) thinks it’s dementia and wants to put him in an assisted living institute, but that’s merely another example of America’s youth forgetting their responsibilities. In his day family took care of itself. When Harvey’s wife died, he did everything to give his son a good life. And this is his reward? Abandonment? He’s sacrificed blood, sweat, tears, and time and now he’s done watching the world devolve around him as though it was all for naught. If Harvey’s to be dismissed by society as a dinosaur longing for a past where “men were men and women knew it,” he’s going to go out banging that drum.

Things kick off on the 2nd with the latest installment of Blumhouse’s Into the Dark series, School Spirit, and the directorial debut of Jason Mewes, Method in the Madness, also hits various platforms the same day.
August 6th is a very busy day for digital releases, as we have 10 different films coming out that day, including Brightburn, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, The Night Sitter, and Perception. Nekrotronic, featuring Monica Bellucci, arrives on the 9th, and just a few days later, The Banana Splits Movie hits digital on the 13th, and I’m still not sure what to make of it, but I will definitely be watching that night to see just what on earth they’ve done with these classic TV characters.

Some movies, especially in the horror genre, fare better by not revealing too much of the movie’s plot to audiences through their trailers. It looks like “Tone-Deaf” is trying to follow suit.
The trailer finds Olive (Amanda Crew) in a bit of a slump. After being fired from her job, she’s in need of a little R&r. She escapes the city and finds solace in a countryside getaway, owned by the eccentric Harvey (Robert Patrick).

Check out the trailer for Tone-Deaf, a new horror-comedy that shows what happens when you move next door to Robert Patrick.
It may have been a little while since the days of Terminator 2, but judging by the trailer for Tone-Deaf, it’s safe to say that you still do not want Robert Patrick coming after you. That’s at least the immediate takeaway after viewing what happens when Amanda Crew’s Olive moves next door to him.
In the new film, which played at the SXSW Film Festival, Crew portrays a young woman who after losing her job, and ending a tortuous relationship, goes in search of her “eat, pray, love” life moment by spending the weekend in a remote house. Secluded. In the countryside. Her only neighbor is Patrick’s Harvey. According to the synopsis, Harvey is an “old-fashioned” type of widower. One who might, just matter of factly,...

"This just gets easier and easier." Saban Films has debuted the trailer for an indie horror comedy called Tone-Deaf, the latest from eccentric indie filmmaker Richard Bates Jr.. This trippy, twisted, bloody, insanely weird "home invasion thriller" is about a woman who decides to visit the countryside to spend a quiet weekend after losing her job and having her last relationship implode. She rents a country house from an old-fashioned widower, who struggles to hide his pyschopatic tendencies. This stars Amanda Crew and Robert Patrick, plus Hayley Marie Norman, Johnny Pemberton, Nancy Linehan Charles, AnnaLynne McCord, Tate Ellington, and Ray Wise. This seems to be one of those super messed up, funky horror flicks only a few die-hard fans might enjoy - but check it out anyway.

While at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival last week, Daily Dead had the opportunity to catch up with writer/director Richard Bates Jr. as well as co-stars Robert Patrick and Amanda Crew to talk about their darkly comedic battle for the ages, Tone-Deaf (you can read my review Here). The film follows millennial Olive (Crew) as she sets out for a quick vacation away from it all, renting a house from the prickly homeowner Harvey (Patrick), who decides he’s over tolerating younger generations and unleashes his rage on his unsuspecting tenant.
During our interview, the trio discussed bringing the film to SXSW as part of their Midnighter series, the inspiration behind the story of Tone-Deaf, digging into these wildly different characters, and more.
So, how do you feel now that Tone-Deaf is out in the world finally?

Intergenerational conflict is only likely to get worse as Millennials grasp a problem-filled future for which they already blame baby boomers, while boomers hone their dislike of what many perceive as a generation of brats. No doubt many interesting films will riff on that theme. But their number won’t include “Tone-Deaf,” a horror-comedy caricature in which a malevolent old fogey squares off against an entitled young princess. Too cartoonishly broad to qualify as black comedy, and with no one to root for, this disappointing latest from Richard Bates Jr. isn’t funny, suspenseful or outrageous enough to satisfy genre fans. Others are unlikely to bite when Saban Films does a day-and-date release later this year.
Bates’ script starts with a running gag that elicits just tepid amusement the first time, then keeps resurfacing to diminished returns over the next nearly 90 minutes: We meet our heroine as a child performing a recital,...

After a pair of incredibly divisive features in Excision and Trash Fire, controversial director Ricky Bates is back with his latest film, and it looks like he's done beating around the bush when it comes to taking on the status quo. Bates has made a reputation for himself as a filmmaker who isn't afraid to confront social and cultural mores with his films, frequently using the medium to get into the nitty-gritty of interpersonal conflicts with family, dissecting the minefield of current body image politics and more. With Tone-Deaf, Bates sets his sights on the generation gap between the bootstrap Baby Boomers and the seemingly fragile Millennials, and leaves all attempts at subtlety behind. Olive (Amanda Crew) has had a rough week. She lost her...

With the 2019 SXSW Film Festival still in full swing this week, here’s a look at three of the titles that have recently debuted at the festival as part of the Midnighters programming slate: Darlin’ from Pollyanna McIntosh, Richard Bates, Jr.’s Tone-Deaf, and Body at Brighton Rock, directed by Roxanne Benjamin.
Darlin’: Pollyanna McIntosh has been a steadfast fixture on the indie genre scene for years now, and has been a great addition to the cast of The Walking Dead as well, so it was great to see her taking on both the writing and directorial reins for Darlin’, the follow-up story to Lucky McKee’s The Woman (in which McIntosh portrayed the film’s titular character). A sequel that unfolds in real time in relation to its predecessor, Darlin’ picks up with The Woman (with McIntosh reprising her role) dropping off her feral teenage daughter (Lauryn Canny) outside of a hospital,...

Writer/director Richard Bates Jr. has made a name for himself with a string of horror comedies featuring strong female characters who don't take crap from anyone and his latest Tone-Deaf, is no different.
Amanda Crew stars as Olive, a smart-mouthed young woman who loses her job for talking truth to her boss. Needing a break to clear her mind before starting a job search, she rents a house outside for the weekend from an old man named Harvey (Robert Patrick) who is also on a sould searching trip of his own: he has decided he's lived a law-abiding life long enough and he's ready to give into his inner urge to kill. His victim? You guessed it but Olive isn't as easy to kill as Harvey hoped.

Kevin Spacey appeared on Monday in a Massachusetts, Nantucket court for an arraignment on a felony indecent assault and battery charge that he groped an 18-year-old busboy at a local restaurant. A plea of “not guilty” was entered on his behalf.
A future court date was set for March 4, but Spacey’s appearance at that hearing was waived by the judge.
Spacey’s request to not appear at his arraignment hearing Monday was previously denied, with Spacey issuing a statement in an affidavit saying “that my presence will amplify the negative publicity already generated in connection with this case.”
