From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia David DeCoteau (born January 5, 1962) is a American film director and producer known for directing low quality homoerotic horror movies, such as Brotherhood and Voodoo Academy, that have attracted a cult following.
Born in Portland, Oregon, and a dual citizen of Canada and the USA, David DeCoteau began working professionally in the movie when he was 18 years old. He got his start through a generous offer from film legend Roger Corman who hired him in 1980 as a production assistant at New World Pictures. In 1986, DeCoteau directed and produced his first feature film for another generous film legend, Charles Band. He has since branched out into motion picture distribution and executive producing for other filmmakers. After 20 years in Hollywood, DeCoteau now resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he continues to make his movies and assists others in making theirs.
After directing T & A (Tits and Ass) softcore horror flicks for Full Moon Pictures, DeCoteau now directs softcore homo-erotic horror films with his own production company Rapid Heart Pictures. DeCoteau's recent DTV films include The Brotherhood (and its prolific sequels), the infamous homoerotic epic Voodoo Academy and Leeches! DeCoteau films are increasingly notorious for placing the male as the erotic object in peril, surmounting to young teen fraternity jock being chased about the screen by varying monster icons in their boxer briefs.
DeCoteau is now branching out to produce and direct a return to his previous form in turing around his recent cinematic 'outing', in The Sisterhood and Witches of the Carribean.
