Det er godt nok år og dag siden at der kom noget spændende fra de gamle DVD-mestre Anchor Bay - men nu er der nyt - og utroligt - endnu en Evil Dead 2 udgivelse (og med nyt ekstramateriale... grrr).
Seneste klippet fra Fangoria:
Fango just got the scoop from a source at Anchor Bay Entertainment regarding new titles, dates and content for the company?s heavy upcoming horror DVD slate. Among the most exciting news is that the Bay has acquired a slew of Mario Bava films for new disc releases in 2006. While these titles have been out on DVD before, the source says, "We?re going to go back and start from scratch, and put together new special editions for each one." Among these movies will be KIDNAPPED (pictured), the road thriller previously released Stateside in a limited edition titled RABID DOGS before new scenes were added recently by Bava?s son Lamberto; both versions of the film will be part of the disc package.
In addition, there are fresh Divimax releases of EVIL DEAD II and HALLOWEEN 4 and 5, each with brand new special features, on the horizon. The company has picked up BABY BLOOD, Alain Robak?s gruesome French saga of a mother and her bloodthirsty unborn child, and Don Coscarelli?s pre-PHANTASM comedy KENNY & COMPANY, starring PHANTASM?s Michael Baldwin; the latter hits June 14 with a new transfer and special features overseen by the director. The Bay will also issue HORROR 101, its sequel HORROR 102 and MUSEUM OF THE DEAD on a single disc April 19, the same day as its special edition of Stevan Mena?s MALEVOLENCE (see item here).
