Time of Moulting (2020) Available April 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #TimeofMoulting – #Dekanalog – @dekanalog_ –

Dark, oppressive, and ominous. A heavily atmospheric and harrowing portrait of the ways in which repressed family dynamics can influence and infect the lives of younger generations–not tangible, not namable, but inexorable.

In a small town in 1970s West Germany, Stephanie (played by a charming Zelda Espenschied as a young child, and a surly Miriam Schiweck “ten years later”) is raised by two parents who have no business having children. The mother (Freya Kreutzkam, never far from despair-induced collapse) suffers from an unspecified medical condition—one both mental and physical. The father makes it clear that he has no patience for his daughter. Young Stephanie takes solace in exploring the mysteries hidden away in the increasingly untidy house, particularly the trunk full of her grandfather’s butcher’s equipment; older Stephanie takes far more sinister comfort in the tools found therein.

Throughout the film, director Sabrina Mertens and cinematographer Jan Fabi use a static camera. There are no closeups, and characters are often not centered within the frame. Sometimes, they are obscured by a piece of furniture. It isn’t always clear what’s happening. The lighting is flat and naturalistic; there is so much darkness that it’s difficult to get a sense of place. The house feels like a labyrinth of “stuff” – there are piles of clothing, crockery, furniture and newspapers everywhere, even in the bathroom. As the film progresses, the piles grow larger, and there is less room for the family. The oppressive formalism lingers in the many shadows with a quietly sadistic grin.

57 vignettes adding up to a cryptic whole.

STARRING: Zelda Espenschied, Miriam Schiweck, Freya Kreutzkam, Bernd Wolf

Specters / Maya (Blu-ray Set) Available April 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #Specters #Maya – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

As the close of the 1980s drew nearer, Italy continued to turn out some of the weirdest and wildest entries the horror genre had to offer – and this set of atmospheric offerings, SPECTERS (1987) and MAYA (1989), from director Marcello Avallone, are no exception! Mixing sex, mythology and bloody supernatural slayings in a dizzying blend sure to please fans of 80s terror everywhere, these sacrificial slashers are finally unleashed in their Blu-ray world premieres, newly restored in 2K from their original 35mm camera negatives by the high priests of horror at Vinegar Syndrome, alongside a treasure trove of new bonus material.

Specters: Whilst excavating the catacombs at an archaeological site in Rome, a team of researchers make an astonishing discovery when nearby drilling work in the subway system causes a wall to collapse, revealing a passageway leading to a series of hitherto unexplored tunnels. Delving deeper into the subterranean labyrinth, the team uncover a cavernous tomb filled with ominous inscriptions, as well as strange, unidentifiable skeletons and a crude, sacrificial weapon. Little do the archaeologists realize that the uncovering of this burial chamber, long-since sealed off from the world, has unleashed an ancient evil intent on wreaking bloody havoc.

Maya: Lisa, a young woman from New York, arrives in a small Mexican seaside town to identify the body of her father, a researcher into Mayan culture who has been brutally murdered in a sacrificial-style killing. Determined to uncover the truth behind her father’s death, Lisa decides to stay in town, where she learns about the local folklore and superstitions with the help of Peter, a young American and friend of her father. As more people are found dead, all slaughtered in a similarly gruesome fashion, and the town’s celebrations of the dead loom, could the legend of a vengeful and bloodthirsty Mayan king returning from the dead prove to be true?

Severe Injuries (2003) Available April 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #SevereInjuries – #SaturnsCore –

Melvin Hubble (Charlie Fleming) is the last in a long familial line of extremely unsuccessful serial killers. In an attempt to fulfill his father’s dying wish, he takes one final stab at glory by sneaking into the Rho Rho Rho sorority house on the eve of the girls’ prospective slumber party. Unbeknownst to Melvin, another killer with similar homicidal intentions is also loose in the same house. Surrounded by a bevy of horny and brainless sorority bimbos, only the bookish psychology major Lauren (Amy Lynn Best) has the wherewithal to perceive the imminent danger afoot.

A satirical send-up of the “sorority house” and “slumber party” slasher epics of the 1980s, Severe Injuries marked the directorial debut of prolific actress and filmmaker Amy Lynn Best, one of the most unique and dynamic female voices to emerge from the primarily male-dominated, micro-budget SOV scene. Featuring performances by a veritable who’s who of B-movie heavyweights including Debbie Rochon (Terror Firmer), Robyn Griggs (Dead Clowns), Lilith Stabs (Vampire Callgirls), Lloyd Kaufman (The Toxic Avenger), Brinke Stevens (Nightmare Sisters), Jasi Cotton Lanier (Freakshow), and Ryli Morgan (Runaway Terror), Severe Injuries presented a tongue in cheek deconstruction of slasher film conventions that slightly predated the wave of neoteric genre pasquinades such as Behind The Mask and Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil.

The Last Slumber Party (1988) Available April 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheLastSlumberParty – #AGFA – @filmarchive –

A surreal slasher from the wilds of New Orleans, The Last Slumber Party feels like a YA novel by R.L. Stine that was filtered through a haze of DIY madness. The story follows the foul-mouthed, sex-crazed Chris (played with gusto by Jan Jensen), Tracy, and Linda as they prepare for the ultimate slumber party on their last day of high school. But little do the ladies know that the party is about to be crashed by a maniacal killer with a giant scalpel! Rejecting all forms of logic in favor of a dreamlike mood, lifted scenes from Halloween, and songs by metalheads Firstryke, this is regional horror filmmaking at a magical peak. AGFA is thrilled to rescue The Last Slumber Party from the VHS wasteland with a new restoration from the 16mm camera negative, plus enough extras to fill your next three slumber parties. In the words of Chris: “Let’s munch out!”

Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors (1965) (4K Ultra HD) Available April 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #DrTerrorsHouseofHorrors – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Five men, all strangers, board a carriage on a train from London to the town of Bradley, where they’re joined at the last minute by a sixth – a mysterious, black-clad older gentleman who introduces himself as Doctor Schreck (German for “terror,” as he informs them). Bearing a stack of Tarot cards, Doctor Schreck claims to have the ability to read fortunes, and although some of the group are initially skeptical, it’s not long before his fellow passengers are asking him each in turn to relate what the future holds in store. What follows is five fiendish tales of terror, as the doctor reveals the various dreadful fates that are to befall his traveling companions – which include bone-chilling encounters with werewolves, killer plants, voracious vampires and all other manner of horrors!

The first in a line of anthology films to be produced by Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg’s celebrated Amicus Productions, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors is a frightfully entertaining classic of 60s British horror which reunites genre legends Peter Cushing as the titular doctor and Christopher Lee, who delivers a memorable turn as a scathing art critic terrorized by a disembodied hand! Helmed by Academy Award® winner Freddie Francis and featuring an early appearance by Donald Sutherland (Don’t Look Now), Vinegar Syndrome conjures up the 4K UHD debut of Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors, presented from a brand new 4K restoration of its 35mm camera negative and stacked with extras both old and new!

Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 Available April 10

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #Sweetie – #SuzanneCafiero – @DynamiteComics – @candyvigilante –

Author: Suzanne Cafiero

In the wake of the hostile “Sugartown Showdown” street battle, Sweetie and her “swirly pop” formation entourage (Candy Wolf, Pixie Stix, Hansel, Gretel, and the rest of the supernaturals) regroup victorious at the Candy Vigilante factory headquarters in Brooklyn. After getting iced by magic snowball flex and witnessing the grisly fatalities caused by exploding Easter egg grenades, jellybean munitions, and gingerbread jawbreakers, Bart Volgare and his thugs (at least what’s left of them) know one thing is certain: the band is back together!

Rumor has it SUV barely survived the weird trauma, so you might say he has something to smile about — permanently. Sweetie’s arch-nemesis Bart may think that he got away, but you don’t really believe she would just let him scurry off like that, do you? Peter Cottontail and Jack Rabbit lament that they didn’t get to take the shot and egg-stinguish him in the name of SWEET revenge when they had the chance, but Sweetie makes it crystal clear she wants Bart alive — at least for now. He knows… something. Plus the bad wolf tower is pinging, and someone’s house is about to be blown down.

Meanwhile, the squad is introduced to Honey B, Sweetie’s youthful beekeeper, who brings stinging news straight from the hive. Someone has been killing Sweetie’s prize bees by chopping off their fuzzy little heads! Could it have anything to do with Sweetie’s latest weapon? The frosted whipped-cream confection called “SweetStuff” is derived from the sweetest, purest, grade-A honey, and for those who are pure of heart, it’s one of the most delectable concoctions you’ll ever taste. To the inherently bad, however, SweetStuff doesn’t taste very SWEET at all — in fact, it melts away your… everything! It liquefies matter into a frosty, glittery goo, right down to the bone! Isn’t that NICE?

Pick up Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 #2 for all this and lots more sweet stuff!
