‘The Unseen’ Retitled to ‘Amaurosis’ for US Release
After releasing in the UK late 2017, Gary Sinyor‘s psychological thriller The Unseen will finally see a release in the States on May 17th through Subliminal Films under the new title, Amaurosis.
The film stars Jasmine Hyde and Richard Flood as Gemma and Will, a grieving couple tormented by the tragic and accidental loss of their son. Will soon begins to hear his son’s voice calling to him, while Gemma experiences strange hallucinations and losses of vision. In an effort to escape their worries, the couple heads out of town to a country guesthouse owned by local pharmacist Paul (Simon Cotton), who attempts to help Gemma and Will control their psychological attacks.
Dax reviewed The Unseen and wrote that the film “overuses its gimmick” and has unrealized potential.
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.”
