If you know the name Sung Kang it’s probably because you’re a really big fan of 2012’s Bullet to the Head. Just kidding. He’s obviously Han from the Fast & Furious franchise and has made that character his own since debuting it way back in 2002’s Better Luck Tomorrow. Yeah, look it up. Anyway, Kang is branching out from the blockbuster world and into filmmaking with his directorial debut, Shaky Shivers, a horror-comedy that has been making noise on the festival circuit.
Kang trades fast cars for werewolves in a film that he directs from a script by Andrew McAllister and Aaron Strongoni. The cast is led by Brooke Markham (In The Dark), VyVy Nguyen (The Sympathizer), Jimmy Bellinger (Blockers), Herschel Sparber (A Goofy Movie), Skyler Day (Parenthood), and Erin Daniels (House of 1000 Corpses).
Here’s the synopsis: After finding herself bitten by a mysterious animal, Lucy becomes convinced that she will transform into a fearsome werewolf. Joined by her best friend Karen, the two embark on a wild adventure filled with magic and mayhem, as they look to do battle with a throat-slashing creature ripped right out of an 80s horror movie.
Shaky Shivers will open in theaters on September 21st.
