Dead Hunt (2007) Available July 28

#horror – #horrormovies – #DeadHunt – #SaturnsCore –

Ten genre film critics from the HORRORDVDZONE website converge at a warehouse for a party on the eve of attending a local horror convention. Shortly after their guest of honor, the infamous indie scream queen Raven Rinaldi (Leanna Chamish) arrives, the power is cut and the doors are electrified trapping everyone inside the building. Unfortunately for the unsuspecting guests, a mysterious masked assassin begins murdering the attendees using a variety of gruesome methods, recreating the notorious kill scenes from the various movies reviewed on their website. Turns out the killer is a deranged, jilted filmmaker who is determined to enact revenge on all of the critics who gave disparaging reviews to his rebuffed slasher opus “Dead Hunt.”

Brimming with practical gore and sumptuous sleaze, DEAD HUNT marks the final directorial effort from Baltimore, Maryland’s legendary, low-budget maestro Don Dohler (Night Beast, The Alien Factor, Fiend) and his Timewarp Films collaborator Joe Ripple (Harvesters, Stakes) and remains an elusive puzzle piece in the Dohler oeuvre as well as an underseen SOV slasher curio from one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most beloved and inspiring regional horror auteurs. Featuring performances by Dennis Hill (The Wire) along with Dohler vets Leanna Chamish (Harvesters, Vampire Sisters) and George Stover (Desperate Living, Blood Massacre), Saturn’s Core is delighted to bring DEAD HUNT to Blu-Ray, marking its return to physical media for the first time since its initial, self-distributed DVD-R release nearly 20 years ago.

Multiple witnesses across western Massachusetts reported seeing the same strange object in the sky, and for some the encounters went far beyond a simple sighting. We dig into personal accounts of missing time, glowing orbs, telepathic messages, paralyzing beams of light, and childhood memories of being aboard a craft that still haunt witnesses more than fifty years later.

A Woman Kills (1968) Available July 21

#horror – #horrormovies – #AWomanKills – #RadianceFilms – @FilmsRadiance –

A series of prostitute murders disturb the public with the thought of a serial killer on the loose. Hélène Picard, a prostitute, is sentenced and executed for the murders, but shortly thereafter similar crimes continue. Executioner Louis Guilbot meanwhile develops a relationship with the investigating officer, Solange, who soon learns Louis may not be who he says he is. Filmed in the tumultuous events of May 1968, Jean-Denis Bonan’s A Woman Kills never found distribution due to controversy around the director’s first film and producer Anatole Dauman (The Beast, Hiroshima Mon Amour) was unable to find distribution for the film for 45 years until Luna Park Films brought it back to life in a new restoration. Now released on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere, audiences outside of France can finally experience this utterly singular film, a new wave-influenced serial killer film that presents its narrative in an almost true crime approach yet focuses more on the psychological aspect with echoes of Polanski and Franju, set to a discordant, jazzy score.
