If You Love ‘The New Blood,’ You Need This Kickass New Poster

Celebrating 30 years of Kane Hodder’s Jason.

This year, specifically this coming May 13, marks the 30th anniversary of John Carl Buechler’s Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, one of the most notably important films in the Friday franchise. While the third movie gave Jason his iconic hockey mask (thanks, Shelly!), it was the seventh that brought Kane Hodder into the mix.

Hodder, needless to say, was a game-changer for the Friday the 13th franchise, the actor/stuntman going on to play the iconic, undead slasher in four total installments.

Artist Steven Luros Holliday pays tribute to The New Blood with his new “Watery Grave” poster, being sold by Gutter Garbs as a 30th anniversary celebration.

The art is available on a 24″ x 36″ poster, as well as t-shirt and long sleeve shirt.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
