H.P. Lovecraft Blu-Ray Collection Includes 5 Cosmic-Horror Films

Published

Lovecraft

H.P. Lovecraft has a fantastic, cosmic blu-ray collection coming to blu-ray from Umbrella Entertainment. The set includes a lot of truly great stuff including Richard Stanely’s The Color Out of Space. Like most sets, this one is going to be criticized for not including certain other fan-fave titles. For example, it’s a huge bummer that this set doesn’t include Stuart Gordon’s From Beyond or  Full Moon’s Necronomicon.

The five-disc set does include all three Re-Animator films, Dagon and the above mentioned The Color Out of Space. It’s a pretty rad collection, especially if you don’t own any of them as of yet.

Lovecraft

Personally, I would have been a fan of only the first Re-Animator being part of the collection. That could have freed up two spots for From Beyond and Necronomicon.

This release is a region B disc. However, I’ve ordered plenty of discs from Umbrella and all of the discs have worked on my Region A blu-ray players.

The special features included in the H.P. Lovecraft collection goes like this:

The H.P. Locecraft Collection is set to release via Umbrella on September 3.

You can head over to the site and place your pre-order now. Again, please note that these discs are region B, but I have had luck with Umbrella’s discs all working on region A players here in the US. If you happen to have a region-free player then you don’t have to worry about it anyways.

What are your thoughts on this H.P. Lovecraft collection.

It’s always nice to see a reunion in the world of horror. Following a competitive bidding war, A24 has secured the rights to the new action thriller film Onslaught. Adam Wingard (Godzilla vs. Kong) will be directing the film. He will be joined by his longtime creative partner Simon Barret (You’re Next) as the scriptwriter.

For those unaware, Wingard and Barret made a name for themselves while working together on films such as You’re Next and The Guest. The two creatives are card carrying horror royalty. The pair have worked on films such as V/H/S, Blair Witch, The ABC’s of Death, and A Horrible Way to Die.

An exclusive article of out Deadline gives us the limited information we have on the topic. Although we don’t have much to go on, Deadline does offer the following information.

A24

“Plot details are being kept under wraps but the film is in the vein of Wingard and Barrett’s cult classics like The Guest and You’re Next. Lyrical Media and A24 will co-finance. A24 will handle worldwide releasing. Principal photography will begin in Fall 2024.”

A24 will be producing the film alongside Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett for Ryder Picture Company, Alexander Black for Lyrical Media, Wingard and Jeremy Platt for Breakaway Civilization, and Simon Barret.

That’s all the information we have at this time. Make sure to check back here for more news and updates.

Director Louis Leterrier Creating New Sci-Fi Horror Film “11817”

Published

on

Louis Leterrier

According to an article from Deadline, Louis Leterrier (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) is about to shake things up with his new Sci-Fi horror film 11817. Leterrier is set to produce and direct the new Movie. 11817 is penned by the glorious Mathew Robinson (The Invention of Lying).

Rocket Science will be taking the film to Cannes in search of a buyer. While we don’t know much about what the film looks like, Deadline offers the following plot synopsis.

“The film watches as inexplicable forces trap a family of four inside their house indefinitely. As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who — or what — is keeping them trapped…”

“Directing projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my focus. However complex, flawed, heroic, we identify with them as we live through their journey,” said Leterrier. “It’s what excites me about 11817‘s wholly original concept and the family at the heart of our story. This is an experience that movie audiences won’t forget.”

Leterrier has made a name for himself in the past for working on beloved franchises. His portfolio includes gems such as Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk, Clash of The Titans, and The Transporter. He is currently attached to create the final Fast and the Furious film. However, it will be interesting to see what Leterrier can do working with some darker subject material.

That’s all the information we have for you at this time. As always, make sure to check back here for more news and updates.
