Magnet’s ‘Last Shift’ Begins This October
A rookie cop’s first night on duty may very well be her last night alive in Last Shift, arriving on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Rental/Download on October 6th from Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet Label.
Directed and co-written by Anthony DiBlasi (Dread) produced and co-written by Scott Poiley (Missionary) and produced by Mary Poiley (Missionary), Last Shift stars Juliana Harkavy (“The Walking Dead”) J. LaRose (Dark Places, Saw III and Saw IV) and Joshua Mikel (“Hindsight”).
“Rookie police officer Jessica Loren (Harkavy) has been assigned the last shift at a closing police station and must wait for a hazmat crew collecting biomedical evidence. Ordered not to leave the station under any circumstance, Jessica comes to learn that it’s more than just an outdated station, it’s home to the ultimate embodiment of evil and his devoted followers, dangerous cult leader Paymon (Mikel). Paymon’s murderous spirit has haunted the station ever since he and two of his followers committed suicide on the night of their arrest. Trapped, Jessica is left to fight for her very survival in the devil’s playground.”
Additional features of Last Shift Blu-ray and DVD include “A Journey Into Hell: The Making of Last Shift”, “Paymon Interrogation Viral Video,” “The Ballad of a Green Screen Guy” and more.
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.”
