The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology - Thursday 7th July 2022


Let me just stick a rotted stump into the bloody news sack here at The Rotting Zombie HQ and see what I pull out.
First up is the 40th Anniversary of Dario Argento's Tenebrae, which is being celebrated with a newly restored 4K Ultra HD release. In this classic, an American mystery author arrives in Rome to promote his new novel, Tenebrae. This coincides with the appearance of a razor-wielding killer whose murders strangely mirror those of the antagonist in the author's new novel. This stars Anthony Franciosa (Death Wish II), John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Daria Nicolodi (Phenomena) and John Steiner (Caligula). This new limited edition release comes on three discs (2 UHD/1 BD) and releases on July 26th.

Adrian Esposito-Nomeika (Clowns in the Woods) has announced his next movie, Special Needs Revolt! that the press release describes as 'The Toxic Avenger meets The Running Man'. The synopsis has a man with Down syndrome who awakens from a coma to discover the USA is now an evil dictatorship in which people with disabilities have been forced into institutions. This action-adventure-comedy will be starring people with disabilities.


Finally, Swedish post-punk group Then Comes Silence have released their sixth studio album, Hunger, via Metropolis Records. Alex Svenson from the band states "What is the point of writing songs about the apocalypse and the inescapable future that's drenched in darkness, when the media already do it better? Instead, with our new album HUNGER, we give you the light".
