The ‘Pizzagate’ Horror Movie Shunned by Hollywood
For a movie that bills itself as a “grindhouse PizzaGate satire,” there’s precious little grindhouse or Pizzagate in Duncan, the new indie thriller from Austin writer-director John Valley.
But it is a satire. A shockingly effective one. Duncan levels its weird, Texas-tinged gaze on profiteering, conspiracy-peddling mass media—your Alex Joneses of the world—and cracks them wide open.
“The movie’s about a guy out of his depth and led by an array of crackpot beliefs,” Valley told The Daily Beast. “That’s it. We can all relate to that.”
