Duck! The Carbine High Massacre


Duck The Carbine High Massacre is a 1999 American black comedy crime film about a fictional school shooting. It was one of the first films inspired by the Columbine High School massacre. Released less than a year after the Columbine event, it was written, produced, and directed by William Hellfire and Joey Smack, who also starred. After the film was released, Hellfire and Smack were arrested for possession of weapons on school property.

Duck was produced with 6,000 and an inexperienced cast. Unlike previous films from Factory 2000, this film was based upon an actual event, and not mainly focused on fetishes. People who worked on the film received death threats. Director William Hellfire said that due to the painkillers he was using to treat his cancer pain, Like I dont remember most of Duck, I dont remember... I shot all these films in a semisubconscious, druggedout, zombified state. I had no remorse nor regard for anything sic..Joe Bob Briggs, writing for United Press International, speculated on the filmmakers motivations, writing If I had to guess, it was put together by some friends who have spent their whole lives being called freakspunk kids, goth kids, headbangersand so wanted to point out a few things that might have motivated the suicidal mass murderers. sic Erin Brown, who had a starring role in the film, said that the film was a crappy little movie which has permanently staked its place in underground cult cinema. It took several years for the film to be distributed, because of the controversial subjects. After a message in the films beginning mentions how offensive it is, it then says ...it was bound to become a motion picture eventually, or even worse, a made for TV movie. So we decided to do it first. ........
