‘All About Evil’ Gets Limited Edition DVD
Coming off a successful summer tour (The Peaches Christ Experience in 4-D!), All About Evil is getting the limited edition DVD treatment from Peaches Christ Productions, who will self-distribute the title starting on December 1st via Peaches’ site. To celebrate the release, the site is offering an extra $5 off purchases if its pre-ordered before “street date” (and by street, they must mean ship, because it isn’t going to be available anywhere else as of this moment).
Born from the loins of the cult-film underground, All About Evil is an over-the-top black comedy that tells the wicked story of Deborah (Natasha Lyonne of American Pie), a mousy librarian who inherits her father’s beloved but failing movie house. In order to save the family business, she discovers her inner serial killer and starts turning out a series of grisly shorts; gathering a legion of gore-hungry fans. What they don’t realize is that the murders in the movies are too real and the audience may become Deborah’s next victims! All About Evil marks the directorial debut of San-Francisco based, “Midnight Mass” movie impresario and recent SF Bay Guardian 2010 Goldie Award winner Joshua Grannell, who is also the alter ego of Peaches Christ, who makes a cameo in the film. The film also showcases a cavalcade of genre talent including Thomas Dekker (Gregg Araki’s upcoming Kaboom!), Noah Segan (Dead Girl), John Waters’ cult icon Mink Stole and Cassandra `Elvira’ Peterson (“Elvira’s Movie Macabre”).
Bonus features include:
* FULL LENGTH AUDIO COMMENTARY by writer/director JOSHUA GRANNELL.
* EVIL LIVE, documentary of the All About Evil premiere in San Francisco.
* BEHIND THE EVIL, making of All About Evil documentary.
* GRINDHOUSE: short film which inspired All About Evil.

* ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
