The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 18th July 2023

A quick news anthology for a Saturday in which my best friend is visiting. I feel like I've been phoning in my blog work recently, I have to admit the spark had faded a bit. With an inbox full of screeners I feel I need to drag myself out of this funk and fall back in love with the work I do.

Anti-Wonderful comes from MovingFast Pictures and the press releases describes it as '...a bizarre cinematic experience that seamlessly blends elements of horror and nihilistic humor'. Not sure really what type of film it is, other than the press release also states shows such as The Tom Green Show and The Eric Andre Show were influences on this. It is due to be released in a limited deluxe edition Blu-ray format, this will be a uncensored, uncut version of the film, with just 300 copies being made. It can be pre-ordered here.

Turn of the Screw is now out on Blu-ray from Bayview Entertainment. Directed by Alex Galvin, this surprisingly isn't a straight adaptation of Henry James' classic ghost story of the same name. Instead, this follows an actress, Julie, who has arrived at a theatre for a dress rehearsal of the famous play. As she performs her role and interacts with the other characters events begin to get increasingly scary, and she comes to believe that both the play and the theatre itself are haunted. Turn of the Screw can be purchased here.

Finally for today, anthology film Zombie Rage received a theatrical, DVD, Blu-ray and Digital film release on July 13th. This is made up of five separate stories from three filmmakers from San Pedro, California (Livid Media Films), Las Vegas, Nevada (Dark Park Films), and Winnipeg, Canada (The Internet Astronauts). The included stories involve a Canadian newscast, a bachelorette party, two stoners, a burglar, and a zombie outbreak in a public park.
