‘Cold Fish’ Exclusively Available On iTunes VOD NOW!
If you just can’t wait any longer to watch Sion Sono’s Cold Fish (now in limited theaters, opening in Austin tonight!) then we have some great news to kick off your weekend.
The film is available NOW, exclusively via iTunes, for the low sum of $6.99 for the standard iTunes rental period.
Just a heads up, the flick is 2.5 hrs long and subtitled, so get comfortable before diving in. For those who would rather wait (or don’t have the bandwidth), it arrives on more VOD locations and on DVD August 23.
“In the film, mild-mannered Shamoto’s teenage daughter gets caught shoplifting. A generous fellow fish-store owner and his wife appear to help resolve the situation by having her work at their fish store. Too good to be true? You bet! Shamoto soon discovers the horrific truth about this seemingly perfect couple…who inextricably weave him into their grisly rituals. Inspired by true events, COLD FISH is a twisted, brutal, blood-soaked drama that reveals the underlying insanity of an ordinary man pushed well beyond the brink.”

Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands) is headed back into the world of animation for horror-comedy Freddy the 13th for Paramount Animation.
The animated feature will adapt the graphic novel from Yehudi Mercado.
Freddy the 13th essentially imagines a world where Uncle Buck becomes Jason Voorhees.
Deadline details the upcoming animated film as follows: “A family vacation turns into a nightmare when fun Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the Boogeyman and takes on his powers.”
The official synopsis for the comic book from creator Yehudi Mercado further details, “Uncle Buck becomes the Boogey Man. When a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.”
Deadline notes that Dan Trachtenberg’s movie adaptation is untitled at this time. But the family-friendly horror-comedy aims to deliver “scares and laughs to the whole family.”
Dan Trachtenberg writes on Instagram, “I’ve spent most of my career making movies that parents probably shouldn’t show their kids. I’m finally making one…they…can…?”
Stay tuned for more on Dan Trachtenberg’s Freddy the 13th as we learn it.
