Horror In Your House: June 7, 2011
This week is light on big names films, but does feature some solid choices led by Exorcismus – which is the latest and best of the possession movies released of late. Tokyo Shock is back with another ridiculous movie with Psycho Gothic Lolita. It seems there is a never-ending supply of cheap batsh*t crazy flicks from our friends in Japan – which I consider a good thing. And `80s Italian horror lovers can watch some kick ass looking zombies by picking up Burial Ground, now out on Blu-ray. Have a great week everyone!

But excitement turns to puzzlement, concern, and finally terror as the patients begin to mysteriously die. Things begin to clarify when James finally encounters the Harvester.
BURIAL GROUND (Blu-ray) – Shriek Show
Set at a remote palatial estate, BURIAL GROUND: NIGHT OF TERRORS finds a group of socialites staying at a reclusive host’s mansion, hoping for a full of pleasure. Instead, they find themselves being pursued by the undead, the result of a careless scientist’s morbid experiments. One of a legion of films inspired by Fulci’s ZOMBIE, BURIAL GROUND contains all the necessary elements for a good zombie movie including maggot-infested corpses, entrail eating, and, as a bonus, an incestuous mother and son relationship in which the son appears to be played by a 30 year-old dwarf.
MICAH SAYS: Early `80s zombie flick with excellent Italian gore and makeup. It’s basically a rip off of Fulci (which makes this a rip off of a rip off), but I love this kind of stuff. Not necessarily to buy, but this one would be in my instant queue in a heartbeat.
DEVIL’S GROVE – Elite
When a group of teens sets out to record a documentary film about mass murders at a local amusement park, they soon learn that certain things should be left alone.

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.

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.”
