Strand Releasing get disturbing with Michael

Strand Releasing recently unleashed the brutal Tyrannosaur upon the U.S. public. On May 15th they are set to release the Ausrian film Michael, which itself looks like it could be tough viewing. Directed by Markus Scheinzer, it focuses on the titular character, who on the surface seems like your everyday normal kind of guy. The difference here is that he has a 10 year old boy locked in his basement...

Storage 24 - New UK horror flick

For some inexplicable reason, director Johannes Roberts' horror flick F has still yet to see a release in the U.S. Hopefully this will happen sooner or later though.

Anyhoo, Roberts' is back with his new film, Storage 24, and it is set for a June 29th release, in the UK. The film stars, and was written by, Noel Clarke, who also brought us kidulthood and adulthood. More details, including the trailer, below

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - Blu-ray release details

Nic Cage's latest foray into the world of the Ghost Rider will be hitting 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on June 12th from Sony Pictures. No word on what extras the DVD will contain, if any, but both Blu-ray editions seem to have a fair few packed into them.

Filthy Review - Hellacious Acres: The Case of John Glass (2011)

Hellacious Acres: The Case of John Glass (2011)

Review by Jude Felton

With the Bloody Disgusting Selects series of releases one thing has become perfectly clear, and that is that they released an incredibly varied bunch of movies. They certainly haven’t taken the safe path, the most accessible probably being The Woman, with movies from Germany, Spain and Argentina amongst others, with a variety of styles and sub-genres. The strangest that these eyes have viewed though is without a doubt Hellacious Acres, which hails from Canada.
