Echo Bridge Entertainment Goes Slasher Blu-ray Crazy
Echo Bridge Entertainment isn’t slowing down its pace of Blu-ray releases from the Miramax/Dimension catalog. The latest wave is, according to retailer information, coming out on May 15 and entirely composed of double features:
Children Of The Corn V: Fields Of Terror / Children Of The Corn 666: Isacc’s Return, From Dusk Till Dawn / From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers / Halloween: H20, and Hellraiser IV: Bloodline / Hellraiser V: Inferno!
Note that several of the titles included in those double features are also coming out days earlier, in individual Blu-ray releases: From Dusk Till Dawn, Halloween H2O, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, and Hellraiser: Bloodline.
My sole concern is that these won’t be new transfers, just upconverts. I’d even bet they are garbage.
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.”

- 12-page booklet with an essay by film critic Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer
- Making-of short film: The Making of a Werewolf (2 mins)
