Writer/director S. Craig Zahler has made a splash in the movies with his three films, 2015's Bone Tomahawk, 2017's Brawl In Cell Block 99, and 2018's Dragged Across Concrete. Also a novelist and musician, he is associated with production company Cinestate (who have also produced various other works of "right-leaning entertainment" and on the staff of whose Fangoria publication Zahler sits), and has also written their ventures into franchise filmmaking - 2019's Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich - and audio drama - 2018's The Narrow Caves. A talented filmmaker who is guarded in his public statements, there are strong overtones of reaction to almost all Zahler's work, and in our analysis of his filmography we ask how much of these right-wing tendencies are cheap provocation, and how much sincere ideological expression.
