Warner Archive Brings 1957’s ‘From Hell It Came’ to Blu-ray
Perhaps the greatest tree-terror feature ever made, this drive-in dynamo gets the presentation it demands – a high-contrast, pristine black and white image as only Blu-ray can deliver!
Okay, so those aren’t my own words, but it’s always good to see obscure oddities from the past getting 1080p HD remasters here in the present. We’ve just learned via press release that Warner Archive has just made director Dan Milner’s From Hell It Came available on Blu-ray for the first time today. It’s a killer tree movie from 1957. So yeah. You should probably see it.
You can grab your From Hell It Came Blu-ray over on Amazon!
Beware Tabonga! On a remote South Seas island, no one is safe from this hideous…and unique…monster. Tabonga is part man, part tree, all doom. Formerly an island prince, he was unjustly put to death by a witch doctor. Now he’s returned to life with roots, branches and a vengeance. Against natives. Against visiting American scientists who investigate the tree’s radioactive green sap. Against anyone unwise enough to expect a tree to stay put.
Special features include: original theatrical trailer (HD).
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.”
