Lionsgate Pulls Out SE For ‘Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat’
This morning Lionsgate Home Entertainment announced SUNDOWN: THE VAMPIRE IN RETREAT Special Edition, due out on September 23rd. The 90’s film stars David Carradine (Kill Bill: Vol 2) and Bruce Campbell (Burn Notice). Set as a horror-western about a group of vampires who live in a desert town and then battle each other for the rite to drink the true blood of humans again after an attempt to live off of synthetic blood, the film is sure to bring a big bite with extra features. This is also the first time it is being released in a Special Edition package.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
