Ho ho ho, it is finally the month where playing incessant Christmas music is acceptable, rather than the irritating radio station my work has on in the main lab, which has been pumping out Christmas tunes for the past two weeks. Bad planning has meant that I've put up two news posts in one week, there was just nothing else I was close to finishing up in time for a blog post. In me news, I'm back into Elder Scrolls Online, a game I've been playing on and off for countless years. I'm also giving Amnesia: The Dark Descent another go as part of a playthrough of the collection that brings together the first two games. It looks even more dated than I remember, but the voice work is better than what my memory told me. Anyway, news.
New from Arrow Video US are the following releases. First up is Shawscope Volume 2. This is a limited edition box set that includes fourteen films from the kung fu studio, nine of which have brand new 2K restorations. Also included is a sixty page collectors book, never before seen archival interviews and two CDs of music from the De Wolfe music library.
On December 6th is the Blu-ray release of The Leech, a film that I reviewed yesterday and gave a respectable 7/10. That one is a dark horror comedy about a priest's downfall after inviting two homeless people to stay with him over Christmas. Also out on the sixth is Nightmare At Noon, which comes from Nico Mastorakis (Island of Death), here, scientists poison the water supply of small town, turning the residents into murderous psychos. Finally, again on the sixth, is Silent Running UHD, a sci-fi classic that takes place in a world where all flora on Earth is extinct.
Horror film Hellbilly Hollow is having its world premiere as the closing film at this year's New York City Horror Film Festival, which will also include director/actor Kevin Wayne and producer/actor Kurt Deimer in attendance. They play two twisted brothers who run the titular haunted attraction that includes secretly real murders as part of its staged performance. A team of online paranormal activity arrive at the attraction and become the latest victims of the brothers.
Finally for this smaller post, 1976's Creature from Black Lake comes to Blu-ray on December 13th. This Bigfoot film has two college students heading out to do research on the creature and end up encountering it. Apparently the story for this was inspired by real news stories. Extras include an audio commentary and a new featurette titled Swamp Stories.
