Back in the days of Blockbuster and local video rental stores, there was always that one rack — the one packed with horror flicks with gory-looking covers that scared Eighties and Nineties kids witless. Now, that same vibe has come to Shudder in the form of Josh Forbes’ Destroy All Neighbors, starring none other than Eighties hero Alex Winter.
Winter, star of 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and 1987’s The Lost Boys, has mostly been in his writer-director era for the past few decades — save for a recent appearance as Bill S.

Writer’s block is a nightmare — quite literally in Shudder’s newest horror comedy, Destroy All Neighbors. Out Jan. 12th on the streaming service, the flick stars Alex Winter of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure fame as a beastly neighbor and Jonah Ray Rodrigues (Mystery Science Theater 3000) as a prog rock musician just trying to finish his record unharassed. It’s like Seinfeld and Kramer but with more blood.

There’s no rule that says Magneto can’t be played in an X-Men movie by an American, but so far, the Master of Magnetism has been portrayed solely by talent from outside the United States. The Shakespearean gravitas of Ian McKellen was the perfect fit for the heightened realism of Bryan Singer’s first installment, and the legendary actor went on to make the role his own.
German-born Irishman Michael Fassbender, meanwhile, was a more than adequate replacement, although his accent in First Class veered all over the place before he settled on a middle ground which paid tribute to his predecessor without devolving into a straight-up McKellen impression. Even the youngsters who played Magneto in flashbacks hailed from outside the U.S., with Canadian Brett Morris appearing in X-Men‘s haunting prologue, while English child actor Bill Milner portrayed the 12 year-old version of Erik Lensherr in Matthew Vaughn’s 2011 effort.
