Full Synopsis, Date and First Look at ‘S. Darko’
We learned that Fox Home Entertainment and MGM Home Entertainment will be releasing S. Darko on DVD April 28th. The trailer will premiere at the New York Comic Con before arriving here on the web the following week. Beyond the break you can check out the full synopsis for the film, along with your first look at Samantha Darko, played by (Daveigh Chase of ‘The Ring’ fame).
The continuation of cult classic DONNIE DARKO finds now eighteen year-old classic beauty Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase) and her rebellious best-friend Corey Richardson (Briana Evigan) in the midst of a cross-country road-trip to ‘make it big’ in Hollywood.
But their big dreams are cut short when their water pump blows outside of a tiny Utah town.
Stranded with the local teens for a few days until their car’s fixed, Sam and Corey are less than thrilled at the delay…and when an unexplained meteorite crash-lands in town that night, it soon becomes clear that there is much more at play than just a chance breakdown.
Plagued by bizarre hallucinatory dreams warning her of the universe’s eminent end, as well as grief over her own loss of family, Sam must face the demons she has fled back at home. Aided by the unlikely town locals, Sam learns the true meaning of family and friendship, and in doing so, saves both herself and the world.
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.”
