Chloe Bailey & Michael Rainey Jr. Starring in New Fear Unlocked’s Horror Pic ‘Goons’

"Goons in New Orleans" sounds like it’s setting up to be a unique and culturally rich addition to the horror genre. The choice of Louisiana cane fields and plantations as the setting promises a visually atmospheric and unsettling backdrop for the film.

Gerard McMurray, known for his work on projects like "The First Purge," brings experience in blending social commentary with genre elements, which could add an intriguing layer to the horror elements of "Goons." The involvement of Chloe Bailey and Michael Rainey Jr. in leading roles also adds a lot of promise, given their growing profiles and talent.

The creation of New Fear Unlocked Productions to focus on culturally specific horror films from creators of color is an exciting development. It suggests that "Goons in New Orleans" will not only provide chills but also offer fresh perspectives and storytelling within the genre. With Tommy Oliver and McMurray’s Buppie Productions backing the project, it seems like "Goons" will be both a creative and impactful entry in horror cinema.

“I can’t wait for audiences to see what Gerard and I are cooking up with the kick-ass squad we’ve assembled. I also couldn’t be more excited to kick off New Fear Unlocked with this film from such a talented director,” said Oliver.
