Mill Creek February Releases Include ‘My Science Project’
Bargain brand favorite Mill Creek has announced their February release lineup and there are a handful of titles that may be over some interest to Bloody Disgusting readers. The one I’m most looking forward to is the Blu-ray release of My Science Project, the debut film from director Jonathan R. Betuel. It’s been a number of years since I’ve seen the film, but I liked it when I was a kid and am eager to re-visit it. If memory serves My Science Project is a lot of fun. I’ve included the trailer below so you can take a look for yourself. Also I find Mill Creek Blu-rays to usually be pretty solid. They’re almost always bare bones releases, but they have solid transfers.
My Science Project
Release Date: 2/16/2016Synopsis:
Michael Harlan (John Stockwell, Top Gun) has procrastinated on his science project until the last minute, and his teacher (Dennis Hopper, Speed) issues him an ultimatum; turn in a science project or flunk. So Mike scavenges a military base’s junk pile for a suitable gizmo to pass off as his project. He finds one…and unwittingly unleashes the awesome power and energy of the unknown. Twisted dimensions and time warps collide to create a whirling vortex that takes the class on a startling adventure back in time and into the future.Frankenstein
Release Date: 2/16/2016Synopsis:
What happens when man violates the laws of God and science? For Captain Walton (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Donald Sutherland, The Hunger Games) and the crew of a weather-beaten ship stranded in the icy sea, the answer follows their rescue of a scientist close to death, frozen in fear, and insane with dire warnings. Viktor Frankenstein (Alec Newman, Frank Herbert’s Dune) has a story to tell—a story as chillingly real as the tortured howls emanating from the Arctic fog and as timeless as the need to be loved.Bump in the Night: The Complete Series
Release Date: 2/16/2016Synopsis:
The hilarious stop-motion animation adventures of Mr. Bumpy, Squishy, Molly Coddle and the various “household monsters” who make sure their humans are protected from dirty socks and other scary things.
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.”
