Icarus Films Selects Oct. 15 For The Domestic DVD Debut Of Documentary Filmmaker Jessica Gorter's 900 Days

Dutch documentary filmmaker Jessica Gorter began making regular visits to Russia shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union.   By 2004, this graduate of the Dutch Film and Television Academy in Amsterdam, had assembled enough material to make her first documentary film, Piter, an insightful look at the lives of seven life-long residents of St. Petersburg.   

The people she followed in her film lived through the city’s name being changed to Leningrad, the horrors of World War II, the Cold War and the change back to St. Petersburg in 1991.   She made many friends and learned of many things about life in the Soviet Union … behind the “Iron Curtain.”

One thing that kept coming up over the years were the stories about the horrors and the misinformation about the “Siege of Leningrad.”   Gorter listened, learned and eventually gained the confidence of a number of the survivors, who were at first reluctant to talk about what they new first hand to be true, versus the “official” line about the glory and the heroism of the resistance to the invading German forces.

By 2011 she had enough material to construct her next Russia-themed documentary, 900 Days.   The last survivors of the “Siege of Leningrad” tell their stories and it’s not the official Soviet-era line.   

Word arrived from Icarus Films this past week that this award-winning film from Jessica Gorter will be making its domestic DVD debut on Oct. 15.

The survivors are heroes and they have the medals to prove it.   There are parades and memorials, but the individuals that Gorter interviews, who were but kids at the time, open up about what really happened … and if even half of what they say is true, then Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the fire bombings of Tokyo and Dresden were but blips on the human carnage meter.   

Between the Germans, their own Soviet Army and the ruthless KGB and starvation, 1,000,000 residences of Leningrad died.   One-third of the pre-war population of the city perished during the siege that lasted from September of 1941 until January of 1944.

The stories these survivors tell are of a nightmare world.   The family cat is a meal, and cannibalism raised its ugly head … after the war, the Soviet government stonewalled all talk of such things.   The people of the city were heroes!

Bonus features include additional interviews with filmmaker Jessica Gorter and “Siege of Leningrad” survivors.   900 Days is presented in Dutch and Russian with English subtitles. 

Cleopatra Entertainment's Nekromantix: 3 Decades of Darkle Heads Home As A Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Edition On Oct. 11

January 4, 2019, the New Year had barely settled in, but filmmaker Vicente Cordero was just getting warmed up with news that he would be filming the Nekromantix 30^th Anniversary concert at the Observatory Theatre in Santa Ana, California that evening.   Sold Out … a night for fans to remember!!

Cleopatra Entertainment, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, announced this past week that a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack — featuring a 4K scan of the complete 19-song concert — will be ready for fans to revisit (along with those who didn’t have the opportunity to attend the event) on Oct. 11.    

Title Nekromantix: 3 Decades of Darkle, the Combo Pack presentation also includes a CD of the complete 19-song set.

Included in the mix of 19 sons were selections from Nekromantix’s various albums over the year …  “Alice In Psycholand” and “Brain Error” from “Curse of the Coffin” (1991); “Driller Killer” from “Brought Back to Life” (1992); “Nightnurse” and “Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend” from the “Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend” album (1996); “Gargoyles Over Copenhagen,” “Nice Day for a Resurrection,” “Haunted Cathouse” and “Who Killed the Cheerleader” from “Return of the Loving Dead” (2002); “Struck by a Wrecking Ball from “Dead Girls Don't Cry” (2004) and “Horny In A Hearse” from “Life Is a Grave & I Dig It!” (2007) and “Nekrotastic Extacy” from the 2001 release of “What Happens in Hell, Stays in Hell.” 

Bonus goodies include newly prepared video session with the band members Kim Nekroman, Franciso Mesa and  Rene De La Muerte, plus a gallery of rare photos.

Indican Pictures Preps Director Hunter West's Ridge Runners For Release On DVD On Aug. 27

We know the reason and that makes it all the more terrifying!   

Indican Pictures will be bringing director Hunter West’s base-on-actual-events sex-trafficking thriller, Ridge Runners, to the DVD marketplace on Aug. 27.  If you like your mysteries filled with an ever-building element of suspense, then this award-winning indie release is certain to please.

We, as the audience, have critical evidence to the mystery that is about to unfold.  The film is actually designed that way.   West’s Ridge Runners constructed to make you squirm.   

Indeed, in an opening tease we find out what has happened to 12-year-old Halley Dawn (Tatum Chandler in her film debut) and it isn’t pretty.   She’s gone missing and even though we — the audience — don’t know where she is right at the moment, we do know what is happening to her and it is horrifying.   The young girl is being forced to turn tricks at a local truck stop (nothing more to be said on that subject).

Next, filmmaker Hunter West takes us to the core of the film.   Halley has been reported missing by her mother, Maddie (Charlee Graham), and the case has been handed off to detective Rachel Willow (Jennica Schwartzman — Parker’s Anchor, Brick Madness, Gordon Family Tree, Before the Lights Come Up, etc.) and her partner Rob Shepherd (Austin Haley — Chasing the White Dragon, Losers Take All).   

On first glance it appears to be a routine runaway.   Search for a bit, rattle some cages and eventually she will come wandering home.   So Willow and Shepherd go through the motions of interviewing mom, the neighbors, her teacher at school and the characters at the local racetrack where Halley’s mother works.

It is frustrating to no end … and that’s the point.   Ridge Runners is designed to wind you up.   You soon find yourself telling the detectives to move it along!!   This girl is in serious danger and everyone they interview seems like a possible suspect.   There is always something just a little off about each one.

Will Halley be saved?   Will those responsible see justice?   Will someone get too close and pay the price?   Aug. 27, DVD, Ridge Runners and learn the terrible secret.

Arrow Video Restores Writer/Director Stanley H. Brassloff's Toys Are Not For Children For Blu-ray Release On Oct. 08

No one will be admitted during the last 12 minutes of the film!!   That was the promotional gimmick for writer/director Stanley H. Brassloff’s June of 1972 theatrical release oddly-titled Toys are Not for Children.

Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a new 2K restoration (from the original film elements) ready for a Blu-ray release on Oct. 8.

Harry Novak’s Boxoffice International Pictures handled the distribution of Toys are Not for Children, with Harry Novak in the role of executive producer … this was right in his “wheelhouse.”   Sexploitation was the hallmark of Boxoffice International Pictures in the late 1960s and early ‘70s — such gems as The Secret Sex Lives of Romeo and Juliet, The Notorious Cleopatra, The Toy Box and Erika's Hot Summer (among others) are to be found among the theatrical releases from Boxoffice International during the period.

He also had has share of horror films — Rattlers, Axe, The Mad Butcher and I Dismember Mama.   You get the idea.

Toys are Not for Children is clearly in the sexploitation category, but wanders off the Boxoffice International reservation just a bit with some pretty intense psychological trappings.    These begin with something of a prologue where a young Jamie (played by Tiberia Mitri) is confronted by her mother (Fran Warren) over some inappropriate sexually activity.   

We learn that this is spurred by being abandoned by her father and her mother constantly harping on her over how awful men are.   This sets up the backbone of the story that is to follow.

Skip ahead to an adult Jamie (Marcia Forbes), who moves to New York City, gets a job in a toy store and meets a nice young man by the name of Charlie (Harlan Cary Poe — The Yum Yum Girls, Someone to Watch Over Me, The Dogs of War) and they marry.   However, mom’s admonitions come back to haunt her and she becomes frigid with her new husband.

In the meantime, she makes friends with a high-classic hooker by the name of Pearl (Evelyn Kingsley), who introduces her to the profession.   In no time Jamie becomes an in-demand call girl, who specializes in (are you ready for this) pleasing men who are into “Daddy Issues.”  

This brings us to the final 12 minutes of the film and if you haven’t already settled into your seat, it’s too late.   You’ll have to wait until the start of the next showing to find out what happens … or you can pick up your new Blu-ray edition of Toys are Not for Children on Oct. 8 to find out what the big secret is.

As to bonus goodies, there’s a new commentary featuring Kat Ellinger and Heather Drain, the newly prepared featurette titled “Dirty' Dolls: Femininity, Perversion and Play” and a new video session with “Nightmare USA” author Stephen Thrower.
