Mondo Video Presents ‘Things’
Intervision, dedicated to releasing obscure genre gems, has teamed up with Mondo once again to release a limited edition VHS of the first Canadian shot-on-Super 8 gore flick, Things. The 1989 shocker is “the surreal saga of two friends who visit a remote cabin, only to discover a womb of monstrous horror that demands graphic dismemberment. It’s an inexplicable orgy of eye ripping, beer guzzling, boob baring, skull drilling, sandwich making, chain sawing, bad acting and post-sync dubbing.” It follows in the foot steps of Sledgehammer, which was also released on limited Edition VHS through Mondo Video back in May.
Intervision released Things on DVD today, complete with over four hours of bonus material including video testimonials from iconic horror auteur Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun) and more. But for those who still own a VCR and are dying for a hearty dose of nostalgia, Mondo will be selling the VHS through their site tomorrow at a random time. Like their poster releases, these will go fast so if you want one, make sure you start stalking their twitter account (@MondoNews) once you get up. There’s no word on how limited the run is or what it’ll cost you, but there were only 100 Sledgehammer VHS produced (for $20 a pop) and they went for over $100 on eBay a few days days later.

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.
