‘Poultrygeist’ FINALLY Gets DVD Date!
One of my all-time favorite moments here on Bloody-Disgusting is when Troma was offended that we called their latest feature film, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, low brow and awesomely bad. Apparently they’ve never seen their own movies. Either way, we don’t give a crap what they think, what matters is what we think… and we love LLoyd Kaufman’s latest, which is one of the only real Troma films in five years. This weekend Kaufman revealed via his MySpace blog that the film will finally arrive on DVD October 28. No specs have been revealed, but expect a lot from Troma, who typically jams their releases with extras.
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.”
