It may come as a surprise to some of you out there that Cameron Romero, son of legendary zombie horror overlord George Romero, is a filmmaker just like his father. Of course, when I say “just like his father” I mean that “he also makes films”. It’s too bad that Cameron’s don’t look to be anywhere near the caliber of his father’s.

His upcoming film, Staunton Hill, features—and stop me if you’ve heard this one—a group of hikers in the 1960s that runs afoul of the evil Staunton family in the hills of Virginia. Okay, you probably should stop me by now, because you’ve heard this one already, haven’t you? I can practically hear your enraged nodding from here as you wonder how—HOW!—a Romero can be so desperate as to do a knockoff of House of 1000 Corpses.

Which in turn was a knockoff of a host of others back all the way to the original, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in which a group of kids traveling cross-country ran afoul of the evil and largely unnamed family with the giant lunatic with a chainsaw.

So unless Cameron manages to pull something—anything—out of his…err…HAT…to make this into something besides another knockoff, it’ll be one we don’t need to bother with. Guess the apple can fall pretty far from the tree after all.

And to make up for this horrible development, try the Dead series trivia to show you what REAL Romero filmmaking is all about.
