The Stanley Film Festival Adds ‘The Purge’, ‘Sightseers’, ‘Macabre’ And A Shorts Program To The Lineup!
The Stanley Film Festival really came out of the gate swinging last week with a whammy of a lineup that included films like Aftershock, All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, Frankenstein’s Army, Maniac, Tower Block and V/H/S/2. It’s the first year for the Fest, which will be held May 2-5 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. That’s right, the hotel that inspired The Shining. Now they’ve added even more movies like opening night selection The Purge, Ben Wheatley’s singular horror comedy Sightseers, BD Selects title Macabre (from The Mo Brothers Timo Tjahjamto and Kimo Stamboel) and a special screening of Cabin Fever. Since Eli Roth will already be on hand for Aftershock, he’ll be hosting a screening his classic debut as well!
The mission statement, “The Stanley Film Festival is a unique opportunity to showcase exhilarating voices in classic and contemporary horror within a haunted space chosen to amplify the experience beyond the terrors shown on screen. Armed with the goal of procuring the most imaginative tales of fright from around the globe, we will proudly present short and feature films that offer a vast spectrum of tantalizing thrills and ghastly delights throughout the weekend. Like the best spooky stories told in the dark, each will be wildly distinct, inventive and unexpected. The Stanley Hotel’s ghostly history as one of our eeriest landmarks, and its inspiration for some of cinema’s most unnerving spectacles, make this the perfect place to tempt the spirits and bring out your deepest fears in a way no other venue can. Enter if you dare, and let these films stay with you forever. And ever. And ever.”
Head inside for the additions to the lineup. This also includes the Shorts Selections, I’ve only seen one of these – The Cub – but it’s a lot of fun. READ MORE

Bloody Disgusting Selects: ‘Atrocious’ Arrives This August, Trailer Premiere!!
Straight out of the Sitges and Slamdance Film Festivals, Bloody Disgusting Selects is proud to announce the limited release of Fernando Barreda Luna’s Spanish found footage horror Atrocious (review), which has since garnered a tide of online buzz and quick comparisons to 2008′s Paranormal Activity.
The Spanish-thriller opens at limited AMC locations on August 17 (Show times are 10PM on Wednesdays and midnight on Fridays). Please visit BloodyDisgustingSelects.com for tickets and show times or check local listings.
“ ‘Atrocious’ is a gruesome, mind-bending thriller shot in a style reminiscent of ‘The Blair Witch Project’. The horror film exceprts found footage from a film reel recovered by Spanish police, documenting a family of five discovering the truth behind a dangerous urban legend. The 37 hours of found footage follow Cristian and July Quintanilla passing time at their summer home by investigating a terrifying and mysterious urban legend. As their investigation intensifies, strange occurrences in and around the house escalate rapidly, culminating finally in unspeakable atrocities.”

Bloody Disgusting Selects: Trailer for Uncut ‘Cold Fish’ Release
Updated with official trailer! I think we got out of the gate pretty strong with the release of Rammbock (now available on DVD and VOD), but right now we’re gearing up for both Phase 7 (in theaters July 17) and what I think is one of the best movies of the year, Cold Fish, Sion Sono’s absolutely psychotic Japanese black comedy in the vein of a Takashi Miike film. I’d go on record as pretty much guaranteeing that you’re going to LOVE it (I reviewed it last September out of TIFF).
In order to keep Cold Fish UNCUT, Bloody Disgusting Selects is going out with the film UNRATED in limited arthouses beginning on August 5, which could expand if it does well enough. We’ve got those dates for you inside. For those of you not in the limited marketplace, Cold Fish will arrive on DVD and iTunes August 23, with an Amazon pre-order option now available. VOD fans (that’s me!) can catch it as it begins to spread from September 23-November 22.

Holy Gory Mackerel, BD Selects Acquires ‘Macabre’!!!!
The main reason we started Bloody Disgusting Selects was to find quality horror films – new and old – and bring them to you dear readers. Nothing excites me more than being THE site to actually find a way to bring you something nobody else would, which is why I’m beyond excited to reveal that we’ve acquired U.S. rights to the Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto’s (“The Mo Brothers”) Indonesian splatterfest Macabre!!
Macabre, also known as “Darah”, is off-the-wall violent and has been called the “Indonesian Inside“.
Starring Ario Bayu, Julie Estelle, Imelda Therinne, Shareefa Daanish, Arifin Putra, “Two newlyweds, along with 4 of their best friends, interrupt their travels to pick up a troubled girl on an abandoned stretch of roadway. When they return her to her ancestral home, the night turns into a crimson-hell for the 6 friends, who find themselves trapped and hunted down by Dara and her cult-like family of deadly protégés, born and raised to systematically eliminate unsuspecting passerby for one nefarious reason.”
Macabre is the winner of “Best Actress” at the Puchon Intl Film Festival and has screened at Fantastic Fest, Sitges, ScreamFest LA, Texas Frightmare, PiFan Intl Film Festival, L’Étrange Festival France, Lisbon Intl Horror Film Festival and at the Lund Fantastisk Film.
Release info, U.S. trailer (festival footage inside), one sheet, and more goodies coming soon. Watch this spot.

Macabre
A small-town doctor (William Prince) gets caught up in a revenge plot when his small daughter is kidnapped and buried alive as he is given a few short hours to find her before she suffocates. To cover the risk of a heart attack while viewing the film, Producer-Director William Castle provided each member of the audience with an official certificate issued by Lloyds of London to insure them for $1,000 against death by fright. The gimmick worked and Castle was on his way to movie exploitation stardom!
