MVD Entertainment Group To Release Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Edition Of Director Torin Langen’s 3 Dead Trick or Treaters On Oct. 23


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
MVD Entertainment Group has selected Oct. 23 — one week out from Halloween (which is no accident) — for the release of a special edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack presentation of writer/director Torin Langen’s horror anthology, 3 Dead Trick or Treaters.

The film, which is somewhat experimental in nature, is carried by the stories, the sights and the sounds (especially the music and the choice of instruments), but there is no dialog.   

If that seems strange, so too is the distribution pattern for Langen’s film.   3 Dead Trick or Treaters began originally as two award-winning short films, Fondue (2013) and Malleus Maleficarum (2014), which both worked the festival circuit.

Next, a wrap-around was filmed featuring Holden Levack as the unnamed “paper boy” and two additional segments were also filmed — Stash and Delivery.   This was all assembled by Langen into a coherent feature-length film, which opened at Toronto’s Blood in the Snow Canadian Film Festival in late November of 2016 … and then it went into hiatus.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Nine months passed and then 3 Dead Trick or Treaters launched a 2017 World Tour, playing at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego with subsequent festival stops in Canada, extensive screenings in the United States, plus the U.K., China and Singapore before wrapping up at the MidWest WeirdFest in Eau Claire Wisconsin in March of this year.

Langen’s “wrap-around” is in reality a stand-alone all on its own as the unnamed “paper boy” becomes curious when the papers he delivers at a remote cabin begin piling up.   It’s a creepy place and that sets the tone for what is to follow.

He begins to search the remote property for clues as to what has happened to his customer and stumbles upon what appears to be three newly-prepared graves.   Curious to be sure, but even stranger are the three notes attached – one to each grave — which he reads ... the vehicle for the introduction of each of the anthology segments.   These are insane stories; creepy … and tales that make 3 Dead Trick or Treaters a horror anthology to look forward to when it makes its domestic home entertainment debut on Oct. 23.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey Bonus goodies include not one, but two commentary options.   The first features writer/director Torin Langen, while the second teams Langen with the film’s producer and actor, Eric Repke (as “Brother” in the Malleus Maleficarum segment).   

Other bonuses are deleted scenes, storyboard comparisons, a video session with filmmaker Langen and radio intereview with Langer and the film’s composer Stephen Schooley.

Writer/Director Carlos Marques-Marcet’s Anchor And Hope On DVD From Wolfe On Nov. 20


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Wolfe has circled Nov. 20 on the calendar as the DVD debut for writer/director Carlos Marques-Marcet’s romantic drama/comedy, Anchor and Hope.

Game of Thrones’ Talisa Stark (Oona Chaplin — The Longest Ride, Aloft) and the Wildling Osha (Natalia Tena — 10,000 km … and as Nymphadora Tonks in four of the Harry Potter movies) leave the mystical land of Westeros to team up as Eva and Kat respectively, free spirits who are living the good life on a London canal boat.   It’s a good life, a lifestyle where one day magically blends into the next … why change.

The passing of Eva’s cat sets things in motion.  It is a beautiful “funeral” ceremony officiated over by Eva’s mother, Germaine (played by Geraldine Chaplin, Oona Chaplin’s real mother) and that emotional experience triggers some inner feeling.

Yes, cats are not pets, but family members and the loss hits the Salsa Dancing instructor in a very odd way … she announces to her partner, “let’s start a family.”   That is a game-changer!!   

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey It is about this time that Kat’s old friend, Roger (David Verdaguer — 10,000 Km), arrives from Barcelona to party-hardy in London.   He’s a suave, equally carefree Spaniard, handsome, dark and full of life.   

They party, get drunk and to the surprise of everyone, Roger says yes to the seemingly impulsive scheme … you need someone to father a child, no problem.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
The voice of reason in all of this turns out to be Germaine, who has personal experience with off-the-grid living and all that goes with an “unconventional” family.

Anchor and Hope is romantic fun with complications … the sort of complications, especially when things don’t go as planned, that can be life-changing for all involved.   Look for it on Nov. 20!
