HAPPY HALLOWEEN HORROR TRIO FROM SEVERIN FILMS

Thursday 10th October 2019

On 29 October 2019, Severin Films marks the holiday season with a trio of Italian horrors, two of which are making their international debut on Blu-ray.

Donald Pleasance guest stars as Satan himself (a talent agent, go figure). Finally, in Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory, a doctor who left America under a cloud of suspicion takes a job at a Scottish girls' reform school, and his arrival coincides with a series of savage, bestial murders. Carl Schell (younger brother of Maximillian), Roman Polanski's first wife Barbara Lass, and Curt Lowens star.

SCORPIO FILMS: THE DUTCH SEX WAVE COLLECTION LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SET

Monday 26th August 2019

On October 8, 2019, Cult Epics will release a limited edition Blu-ray set of four films from Holland's "Dutch Sex Wave" and the landmark production company Scorpio Films. In the Martin Scorcese-scripted Hitchcockian Obsessions, a medical student becomes voyeur when he discovers a peephole into the apartment next door and sees a sex murder. In Frank & Eva, a man constantly cheats on his wife - with Emmanuelle's Sylvia Kristel among others - but becomes jealous when she takes a lover of her own. In Blue Movie, a young man fresh out of prison for a "social offense" finds his attempts to go straight frustrated by an apartment building full of dissatisfied and horny women. Finally, in My Nights with Susan, Sandra, Olga & Julie, a drifter becomes entangled in a murderous psychosexual four-way when he finds work on a country farm with four beautiful women, a madwoman, and a voyeur. Previously released in separate Blu-ray/DVD combo editions, the four films are included in this set as Blu-ray discs - a DVD set will also be available - with introductions, interviews, short films, trailers, and an exclusive 16-page booklet included with the first pressing.

A BLONDE IN LOVE (UK BLU-RAY) FROM SECOND RUN

Wednesday 26th June 2019

Presented from the brand new 4K restoration that premiered at 2019 Cannes Film Festival, Second Run presents the Blu-ray world premiere release of Miloš Forman’s A BLONDE IN LOVE on July 29.

A BLONDE IN LOVE is a subtle and beautifully observed social satire that deftly balances hope and despair, and is widely celebrated as one of the great films of the 1960s. This bittersweet romance unfolds as a sweetly seductive film but also provides a wry critique of life under totalitarianism.

THE PRODIGY (2019) COMING TO DVD

Saturday 22nd June 2019

Orange Is The New Black’s Taylor Schilling makes her horror debut facing a mother’s worst nightmare to save her family from the evil within. From horror rising stars Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact), Jeff Buhler (Pet Sematary), and the producer of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, brace yourself for one of the scariest films of the year which will be available on digital download from 5th July and on DVD 15th July courtesy of Vertigo Releasing!

In her much-anticipated foray into the horror-thriller genre, Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Taylor Schilling stars in Orion’s The Prodigy as Sarah, a mother whose young son Miles' disturbing behaviour signals that an evil, possibly supernatural force has overtaken him.

Fearing for her family's safety, Sarah must choose between her maternal instinct to love and protect Miles and a desperate need to investigate what or who is causing his dark turn. She is forced to look for answers in the past, taking the audience on a wild ride; one where the line between perception and reality becomes frighteningly blurry.

BORDER COMING TO UK DVD AND BLU-RAY

Thursday 20th June 2019

BORDER features an astonishing central performance from Eva Melander (Flocking), as a woman out of place in society, and strong support from Eero Milonoff (The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki) as the source of her fascination - with both actors undergoing incredible physical transformations for the roles.

Directed by Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi, co-written by Isabella Eklöf (dir. Holiday) and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN author John Ajvide Lindqvist on whose story this film is also based, BORDER brilliantly mixes romance, noir, social realism and supernatural horror to a bold and surprising effect.

Customs officer Tina (Eva Melander) is known for her extraordinary sense of smell. It's almost as if she can sniff out the guilt on anyone hiding something. But when Vore (Eero Milonoff), a suspicious-looking man walks past her, her abilities are challenged for the first time ever. Tina can sense Vore is hiding something she can't identify. Even worse, she feels a strange attraction to him.

THE MERMAID: LAKE OF THE DEAD COMING TO UK DVD

Tuesday 18th June 2019

4Digital Media will release The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead on to DVD July 22nd.

The seaweed is certainly not always greener in this particular lake...

The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead begins with a mermaid falling in love with a human, but that’s where the similarities with Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale end, instead taking a terrifying twist as she instead aims to keep him underwater in her Kingdom of Death while his fiancé must overcome her fear of water in order to save his life. Creepy, haunting and packed with jump-scares, you’ll never feel safe to go back in the water.

Visually stunning with gorgeous effects, the film explores the darker side of the mermaid legend - luring men to their deaths with their supposed beauty - which has been somewhat lost over the last few decades thanks to an iconic animated film.

Pre-order the DVD HERE.

DESTINATION WEDDING COMING TO UK DVD

Tuesday 18th June 2019

Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment will release Destination Wedding on DVD in the UK from July 1st.

Fresh from their incredible successes in the John Wick films and Stranger Things respectively, Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, previously seen together onscreen in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, among others, team up for a razor-sharp romantic comedy that will delight fans of these iconic, much-loved stars.

The directorial debut of Emmy-nominated writer Victor Levin (Mad Men, Mad About You), DESTINATION WEDDING sees Reeves and Ryder (in their fourth screen pairing) meeting on the way to a wedding and discovering they have plenty to talk about - mainly their hatred of weddings and each other. Squabbling and bickering ensue before they even reach the wedding when things take an unexpected turn.

This is a wickedly quotable screwball comedy - imagine Before Sunrise directed by Woody Allen - with lashings of dry wit, smart interplay and a sex scene that will surely go down in cinematic history. And the unique onscreen chemistry of Reeves and Ryder, combined with a pithy script, will have audiences rolling in the aisles at their cynical outlook of people walking up the aisle.

FILMAF TO BECOME PART OF THE REWIND NETWORK

Sunday 26th May 2019

It is with great pleasure that we can announce that the online DVD/Blu-ray/4K cataloguing site Film Aficionado will be joining The Rewind Network. Recently FilmAf announced their closure, and their owner Ed has gracefully afforded us the opportunity to keep it running.

Although we cannot promise any immediate changes to the site from how it currently operates, what we can promise is that we will continue to host the site and keep it online for years to come. During a time where the migration to streaming services has taken its toll on many of our favourite home entertainment sites which have been disappearing at an alarming rate, we hope to continue to push physical media as the best way for film fans to not only collect movies, TV shows, and documentaries, but also the best way for them to access extra features too, and with that, we believe that DVDCompare and FilmAf will be a great fit for each other.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support!
