Emmett Alston(I)
- Director
- Writer
- Producer
Emmett Alston began his career in the 70s as a cinematographer: he shot
the gloriously gonzo experimental horror oddity "Moonchild" and the
Southern-fried drive-in romp "Country Blue" (Alston also co-produced
this latter movie). He made his directorial debut with the crude
off-the-wall comedy "Three-Day Weekend." He went on to helm two
enjoyably schlocky fright features: the seasonal slasher outing "New
Year's Evil" and the uproariously ridiculous sci-fi/horror item
"Demonwarp." Alston has shown a special affinity for entertainingly
tacky martial arts action pictures, with the incredibly inane
tongue-in-cheek spoof "Nine Deaths of the Ninja" rating highly as a
total campy riot. Alston wrote the script for the fun "Deliverance"
rip-off "Hunter's Blood." His last credit to date was as a co-producer
for "Twogether."
