\nJohn Swab appreciates the grit of 1970s filmmaking and wants to take audiences back to that era in his films, given his fandom of Westerns, horror, and revenge fantasies. His latest action thriller Little Dixie follows ex-special forces operative Doc Alexander , who's caught in a deal gone wrong between a corrupt governor and a ruthless drug lord.

There are so many. I don't know about a franchise, but there is a lot I love. 'The Exorcist' franchise is cool so is 'Death Wish.' I'm a fan of movies, man.
