Scream Factory Details Massive [REC] Collected Blu-ray Box Set!

Published

on

As previously reported, all four films in Paco Plaza and Jaume Balaguero’s terrifying Spanish horror franchise [REC] are being collected together for the first time on Blu-ray here in the States, Scream Factory. They’ve set the release for September 25. The [REC] Collection Blu-ray set includes audio commentary with writers/directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, making-of featurettes, behind-the-scenes footage, outtakes, deleted scenes, trailers, and more. Full specs have just been shared and are listed below.

In the first film, [REC], a TV reporter and her crew are asked to cover a crew of firemen on duty. What seems like a routine story about a night at the fire station soon turns into a nightmare. Trapped inside a quarantined building, the crew must try to survive the terror that rages inside.

[REC] 2 picks up minutes after the end of [REC]. The authorities have lost contact with the people trapped inside the quarantined building and chaos reigns. A Special Operations Unit has been tasked with entering the premises … only to discover that this is anything but a straightforward mission.

[REC] 3: GENESIS leaves the confines of the quarantined building to follow the wedding of Koldo and Clara. Everything appears to be running smoothly and the bride and groom are enjoying a wonderful day … until some of the guests start showing signs of a strange illness and unleash a torrent of violence.

[REC] 4: APOCALYPSE returns focus to Ángela Vidal, the young reporter who has managed to make it out of the building alive. But she hasn’t made it out of the building alone as she carries the seed of the strange infection. She is taken to a provisional quarantine facility: the perfect location for the virus to be reborn.

George A. Romero’s ‘Diary of the Dead’ Getting New SteelBook Blu-ray Release

Published

on

The fifth installment in the late George A. Romero’s zombie franchise, found footage horror movie Diary of the Dead is getting a new SteelBook Blu-ray on July 2 from Lionsgate.

Lionsgate lets us know in a press release this afternoon, “This gruesome fright flick is only available at Walmart on SteelBook Blu-ray for the suggested retail price of $24.99.”

In Diary of the Dead, Romero continues his influential “Dead” series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies.

Luiz H.C. wrote about the 2008 zombie movie here on Bloody Disgusting a few years back, calling it an underrated movie in Romero’s filmography. Luiz wrote, “Diary of the Dead is far from Romero’s greatest work, but it’s still worth watching after all these years.”

His article continued, “The subtext is still on point, the zombies are still scary and there’s no beating that chilling apocalyptic atmosphere. So, whether you’re a zombie enthusiast, Found Footage fan or just a casual horror hound up for some socially conscious thrills, I wholeheartedly recommend digging this one up. The revolution may not be televised, but if the late, great George A. Romero is to be believed, it might just show up online.”

“And I think that’s a relevant message for these troubling times,” Luiz added.
