After introducing moviegoers to Belial in Basket Case, filmmaker Frank Henenlotter brought another evil entity to the big screen in Brain Damage, one of several horror films coming out on Blu-ray in the Us this spring from Arrow Video, who have now revealed the full list of special features for the 1988 film's high-def home media release.
Press Release: May sees the release of a fantastic slate of cult cinema from Arrow Video, with a healthy mix of giallo, cult crime and gore to keep fans happy.
First comes The Climber, starring cult actor Joe Dallesandro (Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula). The Climber is a prime example of Italian crime cinema and follows the rise and fall of Dallesandro's smalltime drug dealer, Aldo. Filled with brawls, fistfights, shootouts and explosions, this is an excellent action-thriller. The other big crime release of May is Cops vs Thugs, Kinji Fukasaku's masterpiece...

There’s a moment in co-writer and director Conor McMahon’s horror/comedy “Stitches” where one of the film’s more obnoxious characters meet his maker at the hands of the titular clown. The death is immediately followed by a stylish slow-motion shot of the victim’s head falling into a fountain. It was at this point in the feature that I knew I was in love. “Stitches” is a lot different than other so-called horror/comedies currently crying for your attention. For starters, McMahon’s effort is actually funny. It resonated with me in much the same way director Anders Jacobsson’s deliriously underrated 1995 effort Evil Ed did all those years ago. I immediately wanted to watch it again, a statement I don’t make on a regular basis. The film tells the story of a guy named Tom who accidentally murdered a clown at his birthday party when he was a kid.

Mononymous director Elias, best known for his 2006 horror-based anthology “LovecraCked! The Movie”, explores the long-term effects of genre consumption with his 2011 thriller “Gut”. It’s a subject that many filmmakers have attempted to tackle over the years, though few have approached the premise with the seriousness and depth required to make this sort of feature work. Instead of aiming strictly for laughs, much like Anders Jacobsson’s grossly underrated effort “Evil Ed”, Elias decides to keep things dead serious, exploring how overexposure to insanely subversive material can effect the human psyche. It’s not your typical horror picture, and that’s precisely what makes “Gut” so phenomenal. Jason Vail stars as Tom, your typical square-jawed suburbanite who works a thankless 9-to-5 office job with his best buddy Dan (Nicholas Wilder). The two friends have settled into a rather boring and mundane routine, eating at the same diner every single afternoon...
