Eagle One Bringing Two Times the Terror This September
Eagle One Media announced two horror titles: Bloodwood Cannibals arrives on DVD September 14. Nigel Thorne and the crew of the internet series “Hunting the Unknown” usually fake their encounters with mythological creatures and the paranormal. While filming an episode about Bigfoot, they make their first real discovery: a feral woman living wild in the forest. After capturing Jane Doe and learning that she was recently pregnant, Nigel vows to find “Big Papa” and leads the crew deeper into the forest. He finds more than he bargained for. The “Hunting the Unknown” crew are soon fighting for survival against Jane’s family of feral cannibals. Their only hope for escape lies with wilderness guide Roy Henderson, an ex-soldier who is slowly losing his own humanity to the sickness that turns men and women into bloodthirsty beasts. Wake the Witch gets a DVD release on September 27. It’s about three friends who unwittingly release the vengeful spirit of a witch from her resting place in a local forest. As the spirit’s influence grows, the friends search for answers on how to stop it. But each answer only raises more questions as the power they unleashed reveals a truth beyond their imagination.
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.”
