Gideon Raff’s ‘Train’ is Getting a German Mediabook Release
2008’s Train from director Gideon Raff and starring Thora Birch still has yet to receive a Blu-ray release in the US, but come November 26, 2015 it will receive it’s second German release, this time in the form of a mediabook from Illusions Unltd. Not only have I never seen Train but I never even heard of it. I do like Thora Birch though, so I’m willing to give this one a go.
I kind of love Illusions Unltd for releases like this. They seem to release the most random, one-off movies and give them these gorgeous mediabook releases. I dig it.

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.”
