J.R. Bookwalter wrote, produced, and directed his debut feature film “The Dead Next Door" (1990) at the tender age of 19, an odyssey that would take four years to complete with the uncredited backing of a now-legendary Hollywood director. Shot on Super-8mm, this auspicious debut quickly achieved cult status with horror fans and critics alike, paving the way for an eclectic filmography that includes “Robot Ninja” (1989), “Ozone” (1994), and “Witchouse 2: Blood Coven" (2000). After a 23-year absence, Bookwalter returns to the director's chair with the sci-fi/horror throwback "Side Effects May Vary" (2024).
