Bound in human flesh and inked in blood, the ancient “Necronomicon” – the Book of the Dead – unleashes unspeakable evil upon mankind in this outrageously hilarious third chapter of Evil Dead Trilogy from legendary director Sam Raimi (Darkman, Drag Me to Hell) and producer Robert Tapert (Ash vs. Evil Dead). On October 27, 2015, SCREAM FACTORY™ is proud to present ARMY OF DARKNESS Collector’s Edition, featuring the Theatrical Cut of the film, the Director’s Cut (with 15 minutes of extra footage), the International Cut and the TV version (in standard definition). This definitive collector’s edition of ARMY OF DARKNESS is jam-packed with a wealth of bonus content, including new interviews with star and co-producer Bruce Campbell and the cast, special make-up effect artists Howard Berger, Tony Gardner, Robert Kurtzman, and Greg Nicotero, audio commentary, alternate and deleted scenes and much more – all collected in a special 3-Disc Blu-ray set! 
There are a number of pitfalls that directors can stumble into when venturing to make a film in the found-footage horror sub-genre. Some of these include: using the filmmaking technique to excuse sloppy editing and cinematography, allowing the shaky action to cover for subpar acting or an amateur script, adding any kind of non-diegetic sound (particularly music stings), relying too heavily on quick-camera-pan jump scares instead of tension, and, perhaps the biggest, never giving a reason for the film to be comprised of “found footage” or for the characters to be filming their actions. The Gallows, newly released on Blu-ray, succeeds so spectacularly at heaving itself into all of these pits that I am surprised the film wasn’t found when James Cameron explored the Mariana Trench. As if the tired found-footage gimmick weren’t enough to steer clear of this release, it should also be known that one can expect to find cliché horror elements, a predictable story, and paper-thin, wholly detestable characters. 
It doesn’t take long to put two and two together when watching the trailers for Crimson Peak. The onscreen visuals scream unmistakably of Guillermo del Toro. So much so that I couldn’t see anybody else directing this one, neither could Universal according to the history of this production. At least Johnny Depp isn’t in this one. However, I digress. What really whets my appetite for Crimson Peak is the following quote from del Toro. “But basically what it is is a really, really, almost classical gothic romance ghost story, but then it has two or three scenes that are really, really disturbing in a very, very modern way. Very, very disturbing, it’s a proper R rating. And it’s adult.” If the man’s planning a gothic romance ghost story that’s really disturbing and scary, who am I to argue with him? The fact that it has an R-rating is icing on the cake for me. That means no weak sauce in my wheelhouse. Enough with the big words, let’s talk some Crimson Peak. 
It seems like the main goal that they were striving to achieve when making this concert was to maintain the classic aesthetic and style of the band while expanding upon the visual and musical experience. The Electric Light Orchestra, or ELO as they’re more commonly known, is something of a juggernaut of classic hits. Even the most casual music fan is likely to know a few of their tunes. This is one of ELO’s headlining performances during BBC Radio 2’s “Festival in a Day” in London’s Hyde Park. 
Before we begin here I have to go on record and declare my love for this title. So here we go. Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company are proud to announce the home entertainment release of the intense international thriller, No Escape starring Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Zoolander, Night at the Museum series)), Lake Bell (HBO’s “How to Make it in America,” No Strings Attached) and Pierce Brosnan (The James Bond Franchise, Survivor, The Thomas Crown Affair). Directed by John Erick Dowdle (As Above So Below, Quarantine) and written together and produced with his brother Drew Dowdle (As Above So Below, Quarantine). No Escape will be available in Digital HD on November 13, 2015 from Starz Digital before heading to Blu-ray and DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment and On Demand November 24, 2015. Check out the full press release down below. 
The Automatic Hate begins by treating the viewer like an adult. The character of Cassie, played by Deborah Ann Woll (“Daredevil,” “True Blood”), is seen crying and our main character Davis, played by Joseph Cross (Running with Scissors) is trying to be both reassuring and respectful enough to want her to come to him when she is ready to talk. At this point, the viewer doesn’t know what is going on with their relationship, but the amount of information we gather about these two people within the first 5 minutes is enough to understand that they are equipped to handle life events together in a mature way, even if that might mean spending a few days apart to let whatever is weighing on Cassie to dissipate before they can have a discussion again. For a film to do this to its viewer is exciting. 
What a load of crap. The remake of “Poltergeist” is filled with bizarre and misguided choices. Instead of reimagining the original, which was promised a year ago, the filmmakers have instead produced a near shot-for-shot remake. They reimagined the names; maybe that’s what they were referring to. Oh, and you get to see what’s happening inside the wall, so I suppose that’s different. But wait, showing us all the ghosts in the other dimension isn’t creepy at all! They’re all CGI nonsense!
How bad can a film be to reach cult status? Watching “Interwoven,” I wondered how many people will invite friends over to embrace is complete bat-shit craziness. There were moments where I had to rewind because I couldn’t believe what just happened. It’s bonkers, sure, but it fails to go all the way. There’s a level of insanity that’s missing, one preventing it from catapulting into midnight screening territory.
Ladies & Gentlemen. Director Gregory Jacobs hits out of the park with this one, as we know from my
