DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
MVD Entertainment Group was out last week with news about director Vincent Monton’s Windrider joining the company’s popular “Rewind Collection” series as a Blu-ray product offering on July 24.   

The spray of the surf hasn’t settle on that news quite yet when a long-lead announcement for the company’s next “Rewind Collection” special edition on Blu-ray surfaced.   Drum roll please … mark it, Aug. 28.

The candidate for a new hi-def push on that date is none other than director Jamie Dixon’s 1998 “soul eating” horror gem, Shadow Builder.

Drawn from Bram Skoker’s 1881 short story, “The Shadow Builder,” we are witness to a fiendish plan by a rogue Catholic Archbishop who summons a demon from hell to seek out and destroy a future saint while still a child.   

The beast (Andrew Jackson — Sea Wolf) has the power to control people’s minds and turn its victims into “solid” shadows that crumble to dust when sunlight shines upon them.   This same sunlight is the beast’s Achilles heel in that sunlight can destroy it … it moves from shadow to shadow in seek of its target.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyPitted against the creature is an unlikely priest by the name of Father Vassey (Michael Rooker — Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, JFK, Cliffhanger, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc.), who doesn’t look or act like your typical “father.”

Bonus features for this “Rewind Collection” special edition Blu-ray release of Shadow Builder include commentary from director Jamie Dixon (who founded Hammerhead Productions in 1995 and became one the film industry’s top visual effects techs with credits that include Prometheus, The Chronicles of Riddick, Titanic, Deep Blue Sea, etc.) and three newly-prepared production featurettes — “Making of Shadow Builder,” “Shadow Builder: Visual Effects” and “Shadow Builder: Kevin Zeger.”
