Undead Comedy ‘Death Becomes Her’ Getting Blu-ray Release!
One of my favorite horror movies of all-time is Robert Zemeckis’ Death Becomes Her, which was the highest grossing “zombie” film until Brad Pitt’s World War Z came along.
Now, thanks to Shout Factory!, this hilarious “Tales From the Crypt”-esque horror film is getting a Blu-ray release.
It’s now available for pre-order with a release set for April 26th.

The pic stars three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, Oscar winner Goldie Hawn and Golden Globe winner Bruce Willis in Robert Zemeckis’ outrageously entertaining comedy about greed, vanity, sex, immortality, life… and death.
“When a woman (Streep) learns of an immortality treatment, she sees it as a way to outdo her long-time rival (Hawn).”
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.”
