New Look At Hilarious ‘Stitches’ Slasher That Performs On UK Home Video Next February!
Earlier this year Conor McMahon’s horror comedy Stitches was the first horror film ever to receive the “Editor’s Choice” tag here on Bloody-Disgusting (that’s history baby!). The film, while a bit cheap, is seriously going to blow your friggin’ minds. It’s such an incredibly fun slasher film with multiple re-watch potential. And while we wait for a U.S. release, we’ve landed new stills that shares a taste of the blood that will be spilled by Stitches the Clown, played by comedian Ross Noble. It arrives on UK Blu-ray and DVD February 11.
“The pic centers on Richard “Stitches” Grindle, a jaded workaday kids’ birthday clown, whose one-liners are witty in a way that’s just not for kids. He falls victim to a fatal party mishahp at the hands of a group of particularly nasty children. Years later, the group of now teenagers attend a party at which Stitches is the uninvited guest of honor, returning to avenge his untimely death.“
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.”
