Cinedigm Sets Dates for ‘Gothic Harvest’ and ‘Karma’ [Exclusive]
Cinedigm offers Bloody Disgusting exclusive first details on a pair of new horror films releasing this fall.
The first is Gothic Harvest, arriving on VOD and Digital October 15, 2019, with a DVD release to follow on November 5.
Written by Chris Kobin (2001 Maniacs), the film reunites horror icons Lin Shaye (Insidious, Ouija) and Bill Moseley (House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), who previously starred together in Kobin’s 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams.
Gothic Harvest tells the tale of four co-eds who head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. When one of them disappears after connecting with a charming local, her friends race to find her before she falls victim to a sadistic Southern family plagued by a centuries-old voodoo curse.

Directed by Nick Simon (The Girl in the Photographs, Truth or Dare) and written/produced by the team behind the I Spit on Your Grave franchise, the film debuted on SyFy Network as part of their 10th annual “31 Days of Halloween” programming last fall.
In the film, a young college grad has trouble making ends meet and accepts a job evicting delinquent tenants. As a result, he soon finds himself at odds with a karma demon who stalks him at every turn.
Co-starring are Mandela Van Peebles (Jigsaw), Brytni Sarpy (Truth or Dare), Kanoa Goo (A Letter to Momo), and Tim Russ (Spaceballs).
Here’s the art for both.
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.”
