Video Interview: Filmmakers of BD Selects ‘YellowBrickRoad’

Published

on

Now in limited AMC theaters (listed inside; buy tix here!) every Wednesday and Friday through the month is Bloody Disgusting Selects: YellowBrickRoad, the second theatrical horror feature that comes from Jesse Holland and Andy Mitton.

It stars The Signal‘s Anessa Ramsey in a very noisy chiller that “begins in the Fall of 1940 where the entire population of Friar, NH abandoned their homes and walked up an ancient trail, never to be seen alive again. Their fates have remained a mystery for over 70 years, until a team of researchers discover the trailhead and attempt to track the path the doomed citizens of Friar took.

Keeping pace with the release, Bloody Disgusting has a special video interview with the filmmakers behind the haunting indie. Dig on it inside.

Keep your eyes at the film’s official website for more info and ticketing promotions (prizes!) Also, check back here to write your own review to tell all of Bloody what YOU thought.

1995 Horror Movie ‘Mute Witness’ Coming to 4K from Arrow Video and Streaming Courtesy of Shudder

Mute Witness streaming

Fans of 1995’s Mute Witness have two big reasons to celebrate this week, as the film is finally getting a brand new physical media release AND it’s finally coming to streaming.

The film has long been only available on DVD, and it’s currently not available to stream or rent ANYWHERE, but Arrow Video has announced that a 4K Ultra HD release is on its way.

The suspense thriller Mute Witness hits 4K from Arrow on June 11, 2024! This is a US, UK and Canada release, and a Blu-ray version of the same release will also be available.

Mute Witness will also be coming to Shudder beginning April 1, 2024.

Director Anthony Waller (The Piper, An American Werewolf in Paris) combines cat-and-mouse suspense with classic intrigue in Mute Witness, an updated take on the Hitchcockian thriller in which the only witness to a brutal crime can neither speak nor cry out in terror.

Limited Edition Bonus Features include:

  • 4K restoration approved by director Anthony Waller
  • 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in HDR10
  • Restored original lossless stereo soundtrack
  • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
  • Brand new audio commentary by writer/director Anthony Waller
  • Brand new audio commentary with production designer Matthias Kammermeier and composer Wilbert Hirsch, moderated by critic Lee Gambin
  • The Silent Death, brand new visual essay by author and critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, examining Mute Witness and its relationship with snuff films
  • The Wizard Behind the Curtain, brand new visual essay by author and critic Chris Alexander, exploring the phenomenon of the film-within-a-film
  • Original “Snuff Movie” presentation, produced to generate interest from investors and distributors, featuring interviews with Anthony Waller and members of the creative team
  • Original location scouting footage
  • Original footage with Alec Guinness, filmed a decade prior to the rest of Mute Witness
  • Teaser trailer

  • Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michelle Kisner

In the film, Billy Hughes (Marina Zudina) is a mute special effects artist working on a low budget American slasher movie being shot in Russia. Accidentally locked in the studio late one night, she stumbles upon two men shooting what appears to be a snuff film. Having borne witness to their victim’s final moments, Billy desperately flees – but this is only the start of a protracted night of terror, drawing her and her friends into a tangled web of intrigue, involving the KGB, the Moscow police… and a mysterious crime kingpin known as “The Reaper.”

Arrow Video previews the new release, “Filmed on location in Moscow and co-starring Fay Ripley (Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) and Evan Richards (Society), Mute Witness is an unpredictable, nerve-shreddingly tense viewing experience. Now fully restored in 4K and presented alongside a host of new and recently unearthed bonus materials, there has never been a better opportunity to discover – or rediscover – this gem of 90s thriller cinema.”
