I've been teasing it for ages now but I'm really going to have to start putting out more than one news post a month as my inbox is just getting larger and larger. A few weeks back I had a hosting issue with the site address my blog pointed to, as such there are a whole bunch of dead links, most notably in my site index. I am slowly working my way through the back end of my blog to fix this, but with over 2,500 posts that is going to take a heck of a long time to fix! Onto the news...
Baphomet came to Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital Formats on June 9th. This horror from Cleopatra Entertainment stars Dani Filth (lead singer of Cradle of Filth, one of my all time favourite bands). The film is directed and written by Matthan Harris and also stars Colin Ward, Giovanni Lombardo Radice (The Omen, City of the Living Dead) and Nick Principe. The film is about an American family whose ranch is visited by a Satanic cult leader who wants to buy it. When the family refuse things go south and they find themselves in a deadly battle between good and evil. Filth said of the film "I really liked the idea of it. The script was good. It seemed genuinely interesting, esoteric. The premise is great, and I quite liked the idea of the character I was playing..." The soundtrack for Baphomet also released in May.
