Good Manners [2017]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
DIRECTOR/WRITER: Juliana Rojas, Marco Dutra
PRINCIPAL CAST: Isabél Zuaa, Marjorie Estiano, Miguel Lobo
SYNOPSIS:
*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*
Filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra’s second collaboration (after the acclaimed Hard Labor) deftly integrates art-house and genre cinema to create a thrilling and dark gothic fable with sharp social commentary.
Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.
With powerful visuals and impeccable cinematography by Zama’s Rui Poças, Good Manners is Disney meets Jacques Tourneur. The film becomes an unexpected and wild werewolf movie unlike any other, and a poignant social and racial allegory on modern-day Brazilian society.
Bonus Features:
1. Commentary from Shelagh Rowen-Legg and Carolyn Mauricette
2. 12-page booklet with an essay by Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer
3. The Making of a Werewolf (2 minutes) – behind the scenes video

Danza Macabra Volume Five: The Spanish Gothic Collection
PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
SYNOPSIS:
Severin Films returns to the cemeteries, catacombs and cobwebbed castles of Spanish cinema for an all-new exploration of gothic horror excellence.
5 DISC COLLECTION WITH 4 UNCUT GOTHIC HORROR CLASSICS AND 10+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
For Volume Five of this “essential Euro-Gothic series” (Mondo Digital), Severin Films returns to the cemeteries, catacombs and cobwebbed castles of Spanish cinema for an all-new exploration of gothic horror excellence: In the North American Disc Premiere of 1964’s STRANGE VOYAGE, director Fernando Fernán Gómez crafts a macabre true-crime shocker featuring a poignant performance by none other than Jess Franco. The disturbing 1971 drama EXORCISM’S DAUGHTER is presented in its complete U.S. Version – now featuring the infamous orgy sequence – as well as the original Spanish Version LAS MELANCÓLICAS, both on disc for the first time ever. THE DRACULA SAGA is 1973’s grisly reinvention of vampiric damnation from the legendary León Klimovsky, uncut in North America for the first time ever. And in 1985’s acclaimed THE TURN OF THE SCREW, controversial director Eloy de la Iglesia adapts Henry James’ classic novella with a startling psychosexual twist. Each film in this collection has been scanned from original camera negatives or archival 35mm prints, with 10+ combined hours of new audio commentaries, video essays, interview featurettes and more.

Reanimator Academy [1992]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
DIRECTOR: Judith Priest
WRITER: Benton Jennings, Judith Priest
PRINCIPAL CAST: Steve Westerheit, Connie Speer, Richard Perrin
SYNOPSIS:
The fraternity brothers at Delta Epsilon Delta are your typical red-blooded American party animals, that is except for Edgar Allen Lovecraft. He’s locked up in his room trying to cure death and finds a serum that works on the severed head of a recently deceased comedian. When a mafia hood steals the serum to use on his murdered squeeze, her reanimated corpse goes on a campus killing spree – let the corny puns and one-punch decapitations fly!
Reanimator Academy was produced down and dirty for the booming early 90s video store rental market by legendary producer David DeCoteau (Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama) and directed by the equally renowned Bret McCormick (The Abomination), under what is possibly the best pseudonym ever used in a film. This silly send-up of Lovecraftian lore and cinematic tropes will leave you feeling as hungover and headless as a three-kegger blowout would.
First time ever on disc following its initial VHS release.
