This week doesn’t contain a large number of releases, but what it lacks in volume it more than makes up for in quality. Literally, for the first time ever I am buying every movie listed below. First on my list is The Entity which is finally being released on Blu-ray by Anchor Bay. On top of that, crowd pleaser Some Guy Who Kills People has arrived along with Bobcat Goldthwait’s latest piece of demented cinema, God Bless America. But that’s not all, the AMAZING Tasmanian Tiger hunting flick, Hunter starring Willem DaFoe and Sam Neil is also out. Almost too much goodness for one week.

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!

THE ENTITY (DVD / Blu-ray) (1982) – Anchor Bay

Entity [Horror In Your House] July 3rd, 2012Oscar-nominee Barbara Hershey (Black Swan, Insidious) stars as Carla Moran, a hard-working single mother until the night she is raped in her bedroom by someone — or something — that she cannot see. Despite skeptical psychiatrists, she is repeatedly attacked in her car, in the bath, and in front of her children. Could this be a case of hysteria, a manifestation of childhood sexual trauma, or something even more horrific? Now with a group of daring parapsychologists,Carla will attempt an unthinkable experiment: to seduce, trap and ultimately capture the depraved spectral fury that is THE ENTITY. Ron Silver (Reversal of Fortune, Ali) co-stars in this supernatural shocker directed by Sidney J. Furie (Iron Eagle, The Ipcress File) from a screenplay by Frank De Felitta (Audrey Rose), based on his bestselling novel.

MICAH SAYS: CO-PICK OF THE WEEK. One of the finest horror flicks on the entire 1980s (and near the top of my all time list). Heck, even Martin Scorsese has this in his top ten horror flicks of all time. Ghost Rape for president.

GOD BLESS AMERICA (DVD / Blu-ray) – Magnolia Home Entertainment

Frank (Joel Murray) has had enough of the downward spiral of American culture. Divorced, recently fired, and possibly terminally ill, Frank feels he has nothing left to live for. However, instead of taking his own life, he embarks on a killing spree with cohort Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement, and together they embark on a nation-wide assault on our country s dumbest, most irritating celebrities.

MICAH SAYS: I’m including this movie because you need to see it. Period. Bobcat Goldthwait’s directing chops are getting progressively better and better.

HUNTER (DVD / Blu-ray) – Magnolia Home Entertainment

Martin David, a skilled and focused mercenary, is sent into the Tasmanian wilderness on a hunt for a tiger believed to be extinct. Hired by an anonymous company that wants the tiger’s genetic material, Martin arrives in Tasmania posing as a scientist. He proceeds to set up base camp at a broken-down farmhouse, where he stays with a family whose father has gone missing. Usually a loner, Martin becomes increasingly close to the family. However, as his attachment to the family grows, he is led down a path of unforeseen dangers, complicating his deadly mission.

MICAH SAYS: CO-PICK OF THE WEEK. Like The Grey , but with even more existentialism. This one isn’t going to be for everyone as it is the definition of a slow burn, but it’s once it traps your attention you are in for an absolute treat. Willem DaFoe delivers one of his best and most devastating performances to date. In my top five for they year.

SOME GUY WHO KILLS PEOPLE – Anchor Bay

At first glance, Ken Boyd may seem like an average comic enthusiast, living with his mother and working to make ends meet as an underpaid, underappreciated ice cream parlor attendant. But Ken has a dirty little secret: he fantasizes about killing people. After being released from a stay in the loony bin, for severe mental trauma suffered when he was beaten and tortured by a gang of high school thugs, Ken’s repressed anger suddenly reaches a boiling point. With gleeful enthusiasm Ken hunts down his tormentors, one by one, and exacts his bloody revenge.

MICAH SAYS: Another movie that everyone should watch. It’s funny, dark and full of awesome.

When Bobcat Goldthwait’s God Bless America was teased at part of last September’s TIFF, an insanely bloody image appeared on the site that looked like something out of Carrie. While those of us who caught the film knew why the young woman was covered in blood, most of you are still shrouded in a cloud of mystery. It ends today.

Now available on various VOD platforms, Bloody has been provided with a must-see exclusive clip that takes a shotfun to society and leaves the walls covered in red. The thriller also opens in Los Angeles, New York and select cites on Friday, May 11.

“Loveless, jobless and possibly terminally ill, Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of America. With nothing left to lose, Frank takes his gun and decides to off the stupidest, cruelest and most repellent members of society with an unusual accomplice: 16-year-old Roxy, who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement. From stand-up comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait comes a scathing and hilarious attack on all that is sacred in the United States of America.”

Acquired out of the TIFF last September is Bobcat Goldthwait’s unfortunately pretty terrible God Bless America, which Magnolia will launch on video on-demand April 6 with a theatrical run planned for May 11. With the one-sheet released last week, we’ve now landed an age-gated trailer that shares some of the “best of” moments while rocking out to Marilyn Manson’s rendition of “I Put a Spell On You”.

Also written by Goldthwait, the film concerns “Loveless, jobless, possibly terminally ill, Frank (Joel Murray) has had enough of the downward spiral of America. With nothing left to lose, Frank takes his gun and offs the stupidest, cruelest, and most repellent members of society. He finds an unusual accomplice: 16-year old Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement.” READ MORE

In God Bless America: “Loveless, jobless and possibly terminally ill, Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of America. With nothing left to lose, Frank takes his gun decides to off the stupidest, cruelest and most repellent members of society with an unusual accomplice: 16-year-old Roxy, who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement. From stand-up comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait comes a scathing and hilarious attack on all that is sacred in the United States of America.”

Premiering at the Midnight Madness portion of TIFF, director Bobcat Goldthwait briefly chatted with Bloody Disgusting about the flick explaining that it dabbles in cruelty of Americans and is not quite a horror film, although it is inspired by the 1967 Bonnie and Clyde, a somewhat romanticized account of the career of the notoriously violent bank robbing couple and their gang.

In addition, Bobcat breaks the news that he is in fact writing a horror film as we speak!

While most people vacation during the holidays, my own person break (that I work intensely through) is every September when I fly up to Canada for the annual Toronto International Film Festival, which always plays host to an amazing array of genre premieres (remember High Tension, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, REC 2, Inside, Martyrs and even Frontier(s)?) through its illustrious “Midnight Madness” sidebar.

Running from September 8-18, this year is no exception as TIFF will play host to some outrageous premieres: Inside directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo return with the world premiere of Livid; A Horrible Way to Die duo (writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard) return to the fest with the world of their home invasion slasher You’re Next; Ben Wheatley is going to shock the thousands of audience members with Kill List; lastly comes an out of left field shocker from Bobcat Goldthwait entitled God Bless America (featuring the Carrie-esque phot released the other night. We were asked to remove this image is it’s “not representational” of the film).

Check out the full list of ten films, and don’t forget that TIFF will also be presenting Twixt, Melancholia and The Skin I Live In.
