Grab and Run (2015)

This comedy-fiction movie tells us about some guys who were attacked by zombies. The plot seems simple, but no one even knows that vampires will attack the zombies. Further, the events become simply incredible, because aliens fall on Earthcreatures. In general, the plot is rather strange, but the film receives positive reviews. This time, as you understand, the surviving schoolchildren, vampires, and zombies will have to unite in one group in order to defeat the invasion of alien creatures on our Earth as a result.

This film had a very small budget, and US fees were not crowned with great success, because the total amount was about 71 thousand dollars. In general, the film is interesting, but not everyone likes it, since a lot of things are intertwined there, and what is happening seems simply impossible. Thus, if you have no imagination, this film is not recommended for viewing.

"Ax 3" (2013)

This film also cannot be called the best in the career of the actor discussed today, but this film is recommended by 77% of those people who watched it. If you watched the past parts of this work, then you are familiar with a man named Victor Crowley, who has returned and is ready to kill all those who stand in his way. This time, the young girl Marybeth will try her best to break the curse on this man and put an end to the senseless killings once and for all.

It is also worth noting that the duration of this action movie is 81 minutes, and its world premiere took place on June 14, 2013. The script was developed by Adam Green, but the project was produced by such personalities as Sarah Elbert, Hamza Ali and others.

Friday the 13th (2009)

This movie is one of the best Derek has ever been in. The events of the project tell us about young friends who get lost in the forest near a long-abandoned camp called "Crystal Lake". Unexpectedly for themselves, the guys decided to visit that terrible place where once upon a time the killer, who is a mentally unbalanced person, lived. Young people enter the maniac's hut, which is located by the lake, and after that they have a full-fledged party there, and with booze, drugs and more.

No one even guesses that this funny weekend will end very badly for each of the heroes. First, one girl disappears, and young people start looking for her. Then each hero meets evil face to face, only now this evil is new and unimaginable, as well as improved. The killer's name is Jason Voorhees.

As you can see, the film does have a very interesting plot, so you should definitely pay some attention to it. By the way, many believe that Derek Mears, whose films are almost always positive reviews, will become an even more famous actor in the near future.
