Surviving ‘The Dead’ – Behind The Scenes Featurette
A couple months back we brought you the news that The Dead was headed for its UK theatrical release.
The film was “shot on locations across Burkina Faso and Ghana, West Africa on 35mm including many never before committed to celluloid locations, THE DEAD is unlike anything horror audiences have ever experienced – an apocalyptic, savage journey to the heart of Africa.
The story is centered around the journey of American Air Force engineer Lieutenant Brian Murphy (ROB FREEMAN), the sole survivor of a plane crash, who has to run the gauntlet across Africa, battling with the living dead. He joins forces with local military man Sergeant Daniel Dembele (PRINCE DAVID OSEI) who is desperately searching for his missing son. They must fight together if they are to survive the flesh-eating horrors of the bush.”
Now they’re gearing up for the DVD release, which will apparently have a heck of a behind the scenes feature.
Producer/Director Howard J. Ford reveals, “Seeing some of this new footage, a lot of which I had no idea was even being shot, takes me right back to the horrors we faced getting it in the can. Everything from my knifepoint mugging on the very first day of production to watching my own Brother Jon whither away to a near skeleton with dysentery & severe food poisoning while our lead actor Rob Freeman lay in a local hospital dying of cerebral Malaria”
We have a peek at some of that footage now. Check it out after the jump!

‘Imaginary’ Bonus Features Clip Takes You into the Never-Ever; Now Available on Blu-ray & DVD
Blumhouse and Lionsgate’s horror movie Imaginary is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital from Lionsgate, in the wake of the film scaring up $39 million at the box office.
To whet your appetite for the home video release, Lionsgate has provided Bloody Disgusting with an exclusive clip from the bonus features package, which takes you into the Never-Ever, a land of pure imagination where monsters roam free. This is a horror movie, after all.
“The Never-Ever set was a really fun set to conceive with [director Jeff Wadlow],” production designer Meghan Rogers recalls. “We really had to kind of think outside the box.”
The team built a real practical set and augmented it with visual effects to “make it seem a little bit more fantastical.” See how the Never-Ever came to life in the exclusive clip below.
DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion) stars in Imaginary…
“Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family. Her youngest stepdaughter Alice develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”
The film also stars Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, Pyper Braun, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley. The screenplay is by Jeff Wadlow & Greg Erb & Jason Oremland.
Blumhouse’s Jason Blum will produce, with Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Kick-Ass 2, Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island, The Curse of Bridge Hollow) producing and directing.
