Arriving on DVD and Blu-ray March 29 from Phase 4 Films is Jed Weintrob’s crazy long delayed Scar 3D, which stars Angela Bettis (Girl, Interrupted, “Carrie”), Devon Graye (“Dexter,” Husk, Lure), Christopher Titus (“Big Shots”), Kirby Bliss Blanton (“Hannah Montana,” “Entourage,” “Zoey 101”). “In the small town of Ovid, Colorado, Joan Burrows (Angela Bettis) awakens in the basement morgue of Ernie Bishop, a local undertaker who secretly tortures, mutilates, and kills teenage girls. Before becoming Bishop’s latest victim, Joan manages to kill him and escape with her life. Sixteen years later and still bearing the scars of her torment, Joan returns to her hometown in time to see her niece, Olympia, be crowned Prom Queen. Soon after Joan’s arrival, murders by an alleged copycat killer begin targeting Olympia and her girlfriends. As the police investigation unfolds, all clues lead back to the mentally-fragile Joan, who must clear her name, rescue Olympia, and confront the gruesome and barbaric killer before it is too late.”
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.”
