Enjoy a Drive-In Double Feature with Kino Lorber!
Out today on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber is a drive-in double bill that you’re going to want to make sure you have plenty of snacks for. The excitement begins at 7:00 PM with the 1973 horror classic Don’t Look in the Basement. This is the story of a young nurse that begins to work at an asylum that was home to a grizzly murder. While there she begins to be tormented by the patients. Before this one begins it may be a good idea to make sure no crazies snuck into your trunk.
If you’re able to make it through the evening’s opening attraction you’ll get the pleasure of experiencing the main event in the form of 2005’s Chaos. This gory little piece comes from the twisted mind of David DeFalco and is infamous for having received zero stars and a seal of regret from Roger Ebert. In this brutal story a pair of friends, Emily and Angelica, meet a man named Swan (Sage Stallone) that promises them a good time. Swan takes the girls back to a cabin in the woods and a night of sadistic torture begins.
This new release from Kino Lorber is rad not only because of the films it’s bringing to the format, but because it actually runs with the drive-in idea. You can choose to play the films on what is described as Drive-In Mode. This will show the films back-to-back with ads in between. Uh, yes, please! Sign me up for that! You can order your copy today from Amazon.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
