Fear Evolves On ‘Monsters: Dark Continent’ Poster Art
Last we heard about Monsters: Dark Continent an April release date was announced. Now we’ve got the specifics: on April 17th the massive-looking sequel for Garth Edwards’ feature debut Monsters will be unleashed.
This time Tom Green (UK show Misfits) will be directing, with Edwards acting as executive producer. From what we’ve seen in the trailer, the tone of Dark Continent looks really interesting, with a tale of soldiers taking on giant monsters in the Middle East. It’s going to be a tough act to juggle but so far it looks pretty awesome.
“Ten years on from the events of Monsters, and the ‘Infected Zones’ have spread worldwide.
Two soldiers embark on a life-altering mission through the dark heart of monster territory in the deserts of the Middle East. By the time they reach their goal, they will have been forced to confront the fear that the true monsters on the planet may not be alien after all.“
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.”
