‘Grindhouse’ Special Edition Finally Announced for Blu-ray
At last! Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ B-movie double feature will finally be re-released in a special edition Blu-ray set this October! High Def Digest reports that in an early announcement to retailers, Vivendi is working on Grindhouse: Special Edition for a Blu-ray release on October 5. Both ‘Planet Terror’ and ‘Death Proof’ have already been released on home video separately (without the awesome faux trailers), much to the dismay of the films’ fans. Specs and supplements haven’t been confirmed yet (although Edgar Wright confirmed new commentary tracks), but suggested list price for the 2-disc Blu-ray set is only $19.97.
One of contemporary horror’s best werewolf movies is 2017’s Good Manners, and it’s finally set to receive a proper physical media release.
Icarus Films is partnering with OCN Distribution to unleash a new Blu-ray that’s now available to preorder via Vinegar Syndrome. and with a limited edition slipcover.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
Good Manners is the second collaboration between filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra, who write and direct. Zama’s Rui Poças‘ cinematography captures this unique werewolf tale described as “Disney meets Jacques Tourneur.”
Our own Trace Thurman wrote in his review, “With Good Manners, Rojas and Dutro have made one of the best werewolf movies ever made. That they are able juggle commentaries on racism and classism while still managing to tell two deeply affecting love stories is remarkable.”
