The 88 Films Thread

[Rik]

Final new announcement is one for our Italian horror buffs - international Blu Ray premiere, on October 22nd, of classic late-day giallo NIGHTMARE BEACH (1988). Miami detective John Saxon (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) tries to keep ahead of a black gloved murder spree in this carnage-packed, gore gem overseen by the late Umberto Lenzi (CANNIBAL FEROX)!

Can't help thinking, because of the wording and punctuation, that tag line should not be at the bottom!

Anyway, here's Harold Bishop from the movie

Wonder if this will be the original Italian version or the R-rated US release?

Good call!

"Our Slasher Classics range nears number 40 on October 8th!!

POPCORN is Canadian slice and dice action par excellence - and returns to the good old days of splashed blood, high body counts and a mysterious killer as a young female screenwriter (played by the great Scream Queen Jill Schoelen from THE STEPFATHER and CUTTING CLASS) suffers nightmares of a strange figure who may well be breaking into the 'reel' world... Postmodern and provocative, and featuring a genre ensemble cast that includes Dee Wallace Stone (THE HOWLING) and Kelly Jo Minter (THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS), POPCORN has maintained a following of macabre movie fans for decades since its release!

Specs and additional features tbc."

What sort of response would you prefer? Or are you just trolling?

It is never 'hey thanks for some of these great titles you sign for 88, Calum' is it? No, what do I get? 'You made a typo. You are pathetic.' Trolls. Right there. Anyway, was pleased as punch to get Harlequin and Body Melt UK releases - and we have some nice editions planned.

Well if it was me i would be inclined to take the high road and not take minor things so seriously and personally. To think you earn a living in the industry yet take every opportunity to retaliate online is not only immature it's also bad business practice.

I think Nightmare Beach might be worth checking out.
