I still cannot get over how quickly this year is going by. Each work week flies by in such a flash that it feels my life is spinning towards oblivion, day bleeding into day ever quicker. With that out the way, we are heading towards the end of a long and frequently hot summer, and onwards to the news.
The official trailer for horror The Boatyard has been released. The film is about five college students get stranded out at sea after the boat they had been partying on all day breaks down. They are rescued by a stranger (Mike Ferguson) who offers to take them to his boatyard, but he may have violence on his mind. This comes to streaming services in the UK starting 22nd September.
On September 30th, Blue Underground release British cannibal classic Raw Meat (also known as Death Line) in a brand-new 4K restoration from the original uncensored camera negative. I remember seeing that film about fifteen years ago, have fond memories of it. The synopsis has Inspector Calhoun (Donald Pleasence - Halloween) and a detective investigating the disappearance of an unconscious man in the London Underground. They come across an urban legend about a group of workers who became trapped after a tunnel collapse during the construction of the Underground, and to survive resorted to cannibalism, with their descendants still living there. Special features on the 4K UHD + Blu-ray film includes an audio commentary from co-writer/director Gary Sherman, producer Paul Maslansky, and assistant director Lewis More O'Ferrall, as well as a new audio commentary from film historians Nathaniel Thompson and Troy Howarth. Alongside plenty of other extras.

After meeting a new girl, Izzy learns something unsettling about her family history. The limited edition Blu-ray is due for release on September 16th and includes a variety of special features including a brand new audio commentary and video essay, music videos, a short film, and an illustrated collector's booklet. Creepshow 2 is released on September 30th in a brand new 4k restoration from the original negative. This classic anthology features three stories of terror, and the 4K release promises hours of special features.

The first film in the series arrived on the service in late 2024, and this sequel expands on the mythos built up previously by presenting a newly discovered tap that sheds more light on the workings of the Church of the Holy Mother.
Deathstalker Productions has teamed up with Vista Street Entertainment and Sterling Entertainment to produce Witchcraft XVIII, the latest entry in the long running direct to video supernatural horror series.
