Synapse Restoring the Original ‘Prom Night’!
The Synapse Films Facebook page made a major announcement during the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con. Get ready for prom, again…
“And so, today, I have another surprise (although many of you kind of figured this was coming based on yesterday’s reveal of CURTAINS),” says the site. “The [Prom Night] negative is reportedly in poor condition, but we’re diving in today after our lab has performed many hours of fixing splices and repairs… A Texas Chain Saw Massacre-like restoration may be in order to make this work, but Synapse is up to the task.”
So, get ready fro Jamie Lee Curtis in an HD version of the 1980 classic Prom Night!
“A little girl is accidently killed playing a game with other kids in an old deserted schoolhouse. The kids swear to silence, but someone saw them do it. Ten years later, the same kids are anticipating the senior Prom and the night of their life. However, that shadow from the tress – the one who saw their deed – has chosen this night to seek revenge. It is going to be a Prom no one will forget.”
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.”
