Have a Bizarre Dinner With ‘Southbound’ (Clip)
Southbound, which is already out on DVD and VOD here in the States, includes stories directed by Roxanne Benjamin (XX), David Bruckner (The Signal), Patrick Horvath (Entrance) and Radio Silence (Devil’s Due), several of whom were involved in Tom and my V/H/S films.
While the film didn’t get a Blu-ray here, UK readers can now hit the road in HD. Here’s a clip from Roxanne Benjamin’s story in which a band on the road end up at the wrong place for dinner…
In Southbound, which I produced (in the interest of full disclosure), “On a desolate stretch of road, weary travelers — two men on the run from their past, a band on their way to the next gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation — are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets in these interwoven tales of terror and remorse on the open road.”
The UK release also boasts some really cool new art, which can be seen below with a new batch of stills.
For those who saw it already, what did you think? Did you like better than V/H/S?
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.”
