Art and Extras Announced for ‘Phantasm III’ and ‘Phantasm IV’ Standalone Blu-rays
Here in the States, Well Go USA released a Phantasm complete collection Blu-ray set last year, which included all five films but was extremely limited and now sells for hundreds of dollars. More recently, they put out the collection on DVD, which is a whole hell of a lot more affordable. Next, standalone releases of the third and fourth installments are hitting Blu-ray!
We recently learned that Well Go USA will release Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead and Phantasm IV: Oblivion on individual Region 1 Blu-rays on September 18.
Via Phantasm Archives, we’ve now got cover art and release details…

The Complete Collection Blu-ray set that Well Go put out last year had much more bonus content for both films, so that has proven to be a good investment for all who snagged it.
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.”
BONUS FEATURES:
- Commentary from film critics Shelagh Rowan-Legg and Carolyn Mauricette
- 12-page booklet with an essay by film critic Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer
- Making-of short film: The Making of a Werewolf (2 mins)
