“Truth or Dare 5” Dares to Return to Madness
Crowd-funding can be a hot button issue with a lot of people. Some favor the idea, and others staunchly oppose it. The beauty of the concept, though, lies in you, the potential consumer, taking on the role of judge, jury, and – if necessary – executioner of a project’s life. With that said, a “direct sequel” to the cult-classic Tim Ritter film “Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness” has just started an Indiegogo campaign with a set goal of just $8,500, which actually sounds like a pretty high budget for a Tim Ritter film.
Set to co-direct and star in the film is Scott Tepperman (Syfy Channel’s “Ghost Hunters International”, “Don’t Look in the Basement 2″). I had the opportunity to speak with Tepperman at the Monsterama horror con earlier this month, and from my brief exchange with him, he seemed enthusiastic and very passionate about not only this project, but the genre as a whole.
See the interview with him below at the 4:32 mark:
Regardless of whether you love or loathe the idea of crowd-funding (or are just somewhere in between), I feel we should just respect the efforts being made by people to do what they love, because there’s always a risk of failure.
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.”
