Giallo-Inspired ‘Amer’ gets HD Release
Amer, the 2009 Belgian homage to Italian giallo horror films is planned for Blu-ray this October, reports high Def Digest. In an early announcement to retailers, Olive Films has revealed ‘Amer’ will be available on Blu-ray on October 4.
“Three key moments, all of them sensual, define Ana’s life. Her carnal search sways between reality and colored fantasies becoming more and more oppressive. A black laced hand prevents her from screaming. The wind lifts her dress and caresses her thighs. A razor blade brushes her skin, where will this chaotic and carnivorous journey leave her?”
The film has already won numerous awards including The Blade at the Sweden Fantastic Film Festival, Best Director (Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani) at the Málaga International Week of Fantastic Cinema, and has even been hailed by Quentin Tarantino as one of his 20 favorite films of 2010.
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include five short movies by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani and introductory notes from the filmmakers.
One of my personal favorite horror movies of all time, 1987’s gateway horror classic The Gate is opening back up on May 14 with a brand new Blu-ray SteelBook release from Lionsgate!

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
