‘Bundy’ Continues His Killing Spree Thanks to Lionsgate

Published

on

The grizzly cross-country killing spree of one of America’s most infamous serial killers is chillingly recreated in Bundy, stalking onto DVD July 21 from Barnholtz Entertainment (distributed by Lionsgate Entertainment). Below you’ll find full details on the latest direct-to-disc release from Lionsgate.
Bundy, starring Corin Nemec (The Stand, Stargate SG-1, Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck) in the title role and co-starring Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Parts VII and VIII, B.T.K., Ed Gein, Hatchet), details the dark psyche and previously unexplored motivations of the man who became known as one of the most notorious serial killers to leave behind a legacy of evil.

Born Theodore Robert Cowell, Ted Bundy was a handsome, charming all-American guy who shocked friends, family and the nation when he was convicted of the killings of numerous young women in Washington, Utah, Colorado and four other states between 1974 and 1978.

Having twice escaped from police custody, he was finally apprehended in February 1978 and executed in Florida on January 24, 1989. After more than a decade of vigorous denials, he eventually confessed to over 30 murders, although the actual total of victims remains unknown. Estimates range from 29 to over 100.

Bundy is presented in anamorphic widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and either 5.1 surround audio or 2.0 stereo audio. Special features include director’s commentary, stills gallery, Spanish subtitles and closed captioning.

The horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein is headed home to physical media, with the film zombie-walking its way onto DVD and Blu-ray from Universal on April 9, 2024.

Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body), Lisa Frankenstein will also be available for a lower price on Digital beginning March 29.

Special Features include:

  • Audio commentary by director Zelda Williams
  • An Electric Connection featurette
  • Resurrecting the ‘80s featurette
  • A Dark Comedy Duo featurette
  • 5 deleted scenes
  • Gag reel

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting,” Billed as a coming-of-rage tale, Lisa Frankenstein instead offers a celebration of outcasts and weirdos.”

“It makes for a sugary sweet, almost wholesome effort held together by a trio of infectiously winsome performances,” Meagan’s review continued. She added, “As a celebration of teen girls and outcasts who just want to be loved, Lisa Frankenstein ultimately charms.”

Kathryn Newton (Freaky) and Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”) lead the cast for Focus Features, and the new film is rated “PG-13” for “bloody images and sexual material.”

Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Liza Soberano (Alone/Together), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things) and Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room) also star.

Here’s the full official plot synopsis: “A coming of RAGE love story about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse.
