'The McPherson Tape' (1989) - Pre-order available from 101 Films direct - £15:00

Release date: February 14

"Part of the American Genre Film Archive range.

The initial run comes with Limited Edition 'O-ring' packaging.

The world’s first found footage horror movie!

A decade before THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT redefined the horror landscape, there was THE MCPHERSON TAPE

On October 8th, 1983, the McPherson family gathered together to celebrate the 5th birthday of Michelle, the littlest member of their household. Everything was captured on VHS by Michael McPherson and his new camcorder. Including the alien invasion

Shot for $6000 by first-time filmmaker Dean Alioto in 1989, this movie blends the production design of a Jaycees haunted house with a dead serious tone to forge a fun, hypnotic nightmare that upends the concept of reality

Due to a warehouse fire at the original distribution company, THE MCPHERSON TAPE was never legitimately released

AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are proud to present the world home video premiere of this important milestone in shot-on-video horror history, newly preserved from the original 3/4″ master tape.

NOTICE! This movie was shot on VHS and edited on tape. Please approach the technical quality of the transfers with empathy."

• New transfer from the original 3/4″ master tape
• UFO ABDUCTION: The 2017 director’s cut
• Commentary track with director Dean Alioto on original cut
• 1989 theatrical premiere introduction

'Jungle Trap' (1990) / 'Run Coyote Run' (1987) - Pre-order available from 101 Films direct - £15:00

Release date: February 14

"Part of the American Genre Film Archive range.

The initial run comes with Limited Edition 'O-ring' packaging.

Two lost horror projects from director James Bryan (DON’T GO IN THE WOODS) and producer-writer-star Renee Harmon (LADY STREET FIGHTER)!

JUNGLE TRAP is the final collaboration between James Bryan and Renee Harmon; a surreal horror dreamscape about a jungle hotel haunted by kill-crazy ghosts in loin cloths. Shot in 1990, the movie was unedited, unscored, and unseen by human eyes for over two decades . . . until the Bleeding Skull! team meticulously edited the movie under Bryan’s guidance and recorded a soundtrack utilizing vintage synthesizers.

RUN COYOTE RUN is the ambitious, nightmarish lost project from Renee Harmon and James Bryan. Compiled from over a decade of footage and a sequel to the earlier LADY STREET FIGHTER, this patchwork synapse-fryer features psychic cops, axe-murdering cult members, and reality-defying fist fights."

Special Features

• JUNGLE TRAP transferred from the original 3/4” master tapes
• JUNGLE TRAP Commentary track with director James Bryan, star Heidi Ahn, and the Bleeding Skull! team
• It Wasn't My Fault: The Making Of JUNGLE TRAP
• JUNGLE TRAP outtakes
• HORROR CON (1989): surviving footage from James Bryan’s unfinished horror movie, scanned in 2K from the 35mm camera negative
• Bonus movie: RUN COYOTE RUN (1987), transferred from the original 3/4” master tapes

101 Films have put out some decent stuff over the last year or so but some of these AGFA Films have that, they are really charging money for these?

Don't get me wrong, I've seen the Trailer for Effects and I think it has something and will get it. Zodiac Killer and McPherson Tape, I may get on sale should I see some decent reviews for them.

But those Rennee Harmon Films look so bottom of the barrel and the sort of Films, I was giving The New Vipco grief over.

I'm guessing that 101 couldn't just pick and choose what titles to have but luckily with the Snowtown announcement, they aren't just solely releasing AGFA Films.

[gag]

At least the artworks are pretty decent.
