Holy Crap! Long Lost ‘Curandero’ (2005) Is Getting Released On Home Video!!
From acclaimed filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Machete, Planet Terror) comes Curandero: Dawn of the Demon, a supernatural thriller with an action twist. Written and co-produced by Rodriguez and executive produced by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Curandero: Dawn of the Demon debuts on DVD (with Ultraviolet Digital Copy) and Video On Demand on March 12, 2013 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment and Miramax. Starring longtime Rodriguez collaborator Carlos Gallardo (El Mariachi, Grindhouse, Desperado), the DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $26.98.
Directed by Eduardo Rodriguez, who will also helm Fright Night 2, “Curandero: Dawn of the Demon “is an action-packed horror flick that takes a couple on a horrifying journey through the deepest bowels of the Mexican underworld. When beautiful federal agent Magdalena calls upon the local curandero (Gallardo) for his services to purify a police station, the two of suddenly find themselves immersed in a satanic cult’s blood-thirsty battleground.”
The shocker is that Curandero was a Dimension Films release back in 2005. It has been sitting on the shelf for years, and now, you get to see it! Art inside.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
