It’s that time again!
Welcome to yet another packed edition of the Cult Labs’ newsletter, bubbling and bulging with goodies for film fans! This week we’ve got plenty of great news to share with you all. So enough of this dibble-dabble, lets crack on with the newsletter. Ahoy!
Coming soon…
Heading our way onto DVD and Blu-ray in the very near future is a whole bunch of great titles. So, without further ado, here’s a quick run down of what to look out for…
247ᵒF - Claustrophobic? Well prepare yourself for the ultimate nightmare in the hottest horror yet (helped by the eye-candy on offer!). Trapped inside a sauna, 247ᵒF tells the true story of a group of friends who are slowly cooked alive! Is death their only escape? You’ll have to watch to find out! A little like Frozen, flipped on its head, this film is available to pre-order now on either DVD or Blu-ray and is planned for release on the 18th March from Anchor Bay. The film has a wonderfully fun trailer that’s definitely worth checking out!
The Bay – Also out on DVD and Blu-ray on the 18th of this month, is the superb eco-horror movie from the director of Rain Man and Good Morning Vietnam. Offering a completely new and fascinating take on the tired Found Footage genre – so much so that even Mark Kermode loved this film! – The Bay tells the grizzly, gruesome and truly disturbing story of a quite American seaside town suddenly plagued by a new water-bound infection. A superb blend between Jaws and Shivers, this film is perfect for those looking for a fantastically well made film with deeper meaning. Do not miss this and #DontDrinkTheBay !
Prisoner: Cell Block H – There’s only two more volumes of Prisoner left until the whole collection is complete! To celebrate this and go out with a bang, we’ve teamed up with both the official Prisoner Facebook page and the Wentworth Forum to host a poll a week in the Official Prisoner Online Awards Ceremony 2013. We can finally find out what the greatest moments/characters of Prisoner are – as voted by fans! So, if you haven’t already, get your votes in today for your favorite Prisoner screw.
Spartacus – Mondays, 10pm, Sky1
There’s only a few more days until the next episode of Spartacus: War Of The Damned comes to Sky 1 (Monday, 10pm). Last week’s episode was a fantastic , action-packed show with a very emotional scene. TV just doesn’t get any better than this! Come and join in the fun by simply tweeting your thoughts with the hashtag #SpartacusWarOfTheDamned during the show! Prizes to be won. It’s always a great time – even if you’re new to the series.
Shameless Screen Entertainment
This week’s Shameless Film Of The Week looks at the excellent giallo from Cannibal Holocaust director, Mr. Deodato. With a big name cast, Shameless’ second release was a fantastic companion to Fulci’s New York Ripper, but what do you think of the film? Share your thoughts on the new thread! And don’t forget to bow in awe at member, Slippery Jack’s incredible new artwork – coming soon on DVD!
