Ed Wood’s Masterpiece ‘Plan 9 From Outer Space’ Coming To Blu-Ray!
Okay – it’s not a “masterpiece”. It’s actually hailed as “the worst movie ever” (though I’ve seen worse). But Edward D. Wood Jr’s Plan 9 From Outer Space will be hitting Blu-Ray on March 6th!
The gaffes and errors and incompetence should be stunning in 1080P! I find myself wondering if they actually fund a good source print for this thing or if it will be an uprezzed conversion.
In the film, “Aliens fear the human race will develop a deadly “solaranite bomb.” After eight failed attempts, Plan 9 is their scheme to reanimate earth’s dead to build a zombie army and stop the earthlings from destroying the universe.”
There are no disc specifications yet, but I don’t see how we can get a better bit of insight than Tim Burton’s 1994 Ed Wood provided.
If you’ve never seen the film, you at least owe yourself the favor of hitting the jump and checking out the trailer.
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.”
