‘High Voltage’ Clips Get Electrified; New Imagery
David Arquette returns to the horror genre once again. The star of Wes Craven’s Scream franchise, as well as Bone Tomahawk, The Cottage, The Tripper (which he also directed) and Eight Legged Freaks, is featured in Alex Keledjian’s upcoming High Voltage.
Arriving on DVD and VOD November 20th, Bloody Disgusting has a pair of clips and a handful of stills from the film in which:
“A struggling rock band led by washed-out rock star Jimmy Kleen (Arquette) strikes a deal with a cynical record executive (Luke Wilson). Things take a turn when the band’s lead singer Rachel (Allie Gonino) and her controlling stage mother Barb (Perrey Reeves) are struck by lightning and killed.
Rachel is brought back to life, but now lightning courses through her veins and she uses her new powers to drain the life from men and turn it into electrifying stage performances. Her bandmates discover her secret and must decide how far are they are willing to let her go to help them succeed.”
In one clip, Arquette walks through some big band decisions in history, discussing Nirvana’s wardrobe choice and the Beatles bowing after every show, while the second shows the lead with electrifying results…
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.”
