Sundance ’10: Vincenzo Natali Talks ‘Splice’ With BD

Published

on

Last week BD’s Chris Eggertsen had the chance to speak with Vincenzo Natali, the writer/director of the new film Splice which was executive-produced by Guillermo del Toro and debuts State-side this week in the Midnight screening series at the Sundance Film Festival. During our lengthy conversation, he was able to pick the director’s brain about his new movie, including that much-talked about human/hybrid sex scene, the numerous challenges he’s faced in making the controversial film, and possible sequel potential down the road. He also expounded a bit on his lukewarm/negative feelings towards the two Cube sequels, and how he would treat the Splice property differently if he had the opportunity to direct further entries in the series. He also gave a shout out to Bloody-Disgusting, saying he’s a “huge fan” of the site. Thanks, Vincenzo!

‘Riddle of Fire’ – Yellow Veil Pictures & Vinegar Syndrome Bring Festival Hit Home in April

Published

on

Director Weston Razooli made waves at the Toronto International Film Festival last year with Riddle of Fire, which our own Joe Lipsett gave 4/5 stars in his review.

Joe wrote, “Riddle of Fire has all of the hallmarks of a classic ’80s children adventure film, mixed with the quaintness of a British fairytale.” His review continued, “In short: think Goonies meets Adventures in Babysitting with a touch of The Princess Bride‘s aesthetic.”

In this truly one-of-a-kind slice of visionary cinema, “Three mischievous children embark on a woodland odyssey when their mother sends them on an errand.”

When will you be able to see it? Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned that Yellow Veil Pictures & Vinegar Syndrome will bring Riddle of Fire to at-home VOD on April 12.

You can pre-order the movie via Apple TV now.

After premiering in the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival, the film went on to close the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival and screen at Fantastic Fest and Sitges. It was shot on 16mm, and it’s Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Vinegar Syndrome will be releasing Riddle of Fire on Blu-ray, so stay tuned for more on that. The film also has its own retro-style video game, as well as a card game from Button Shy.
