BUNKER HEIGHTS:
"Crime. Comedy. Creatures.
C.H.U.D. meets Lethal Weapon.
Set in a once-thriving Midwestern city overrun by corruption, organized crime, and violence, Bunker Heights follows burned-out homicide detective Derek Tucker (Drew Fortier) as a routine investigation spirals into a nightmare involving a botched bank robbery, political assassination, and a horrifying secret beneath the city streets.
Inspired by cult classics such as C.H.U.D., The Return of the Living Dead, and Tremors, Bunker Heights combines practical creature effects, outrageous humor, monster mayhem, and offbeat charm into a throwback genre experience celebrating the creature features and horror-comedies of the 1980s and 1990s.
Written and directed by Drew Fortier, Bunker Heights stars Hannah Fierman (V/H/S), Chaney Morrow (Haunt), Paul T. Taylor (Hellraiser: Judgment), and Floyd Ewing Jr. (The Dead Next Door), James L. Edwards (Bloodletting), with Violent J (Insane Clown Posse), Vinnie Dombroski (Sponge), and David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth).
Bunker Heights will be released worldwide on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital through MVD Entertainment on October 13, 2026. Blu-ray and DVD pre-orders are available now."
