This small news post is due to go up on the week I return to my day job after 10 days off. It has been pleasant not to work, though I didn't get as much blog as I had originally intended to! Onwards to the news.
Retro slasher Brute 1976 is now available on VOD and Digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Vimeo On Demand, and YouTube Movies via Cinephobia Releasing. This Marcel Walz (Pretty Boy) directed slasher earned a respectable 7/10 rotted zombie heads in my August review, where I stated 'Brute 1976 wears its inspirations on its sleeve, and it benefits from not trying to pretend it is something wholly original'.
Japanese practical FX monster movie Bakemono has won a slew of awards at various festivals. It won Best Feature at the Spooky Empire Horror Film Festival, it won Best Special Effects at both the Atlanta Horror Film Festival and Motor City Nightmares Film Festival, and won Best Practical Effects at A Night of Horror Film Festival. I stated in my enthusiastic 9/10 rotted heads review back in December of last year 'I hoped for a good horror, and with Bakemono you have that, wonderfully edited, fantastic special effects, and great creature design, this was something special'.
Finally for today, horror adventure-comedy Minore was released on North American VOD platforms and DVD on September 30th. It takes place at a Greek seaside taverna where strange creatures have risen from the sea. A sailor in search of his father teams up with the eccentric locals to try and find a way to repel this threat. Director Konstantinos Koutsoliotas says of his film 'Minore is my love letter to Greece - a delirious cocktail of Lovecraftian monsters, splatter, bouzouki, awkward dinners, and unexpected song and dance.'
