Following on, from a review I did ("The Beast Within") -- that little latex legend has its Blu-ray release on the 17^th of December via Shout! Factory.  Check my review for the synopsis, and as far as I can see, it is an unfortunate bare-bones release, sporting only a few audio commentaries with Tom Holland, Philippe Mora and Paul Clemens.  Those and a trailer.  Ah well, at least it might gather a decent following on Blu-ray.

Meanwhile, Shout! Factory also chucks out "Crawlspace" around the same time and have also released "Saturn 3" earlier this year. Read More..

Ironically when reviewing "Welcome to the Jungle," I stated that my Horror Soulmate had lamented the lack of cannibal movies.  Since the fade out of the Italian horror machine, cannibal-in-the-jungle creations are few and far between.

I guess Eli ("Hostel") Roth was thinking the same before us because here comes "The Green Inferno."  According to reviews this one is a return to the feel of the old human munching native tribes we all miss (the above mentioned "Welcome to the Jungle" came close).  So to quote Eli himself in issue 156 of The Darkside magazine: “Well I'm a big fan of "Cannibal Holocaust" and of that entire short-lived Italian cannibal genre...” He continues, “… we went to a village in Peru that had remained uncontacted by the outside world.  They had no idea what we were doing -- they hadn't seen movie crews or even seen a movie.” Read More...
