Bayview Entertainment Targets Oct. 13 For The Next Wave Of HNN Presents Releases On DVD • Fabula And Profondo

Back in June, Bayview Entertainment announced that they were teaming up with Horrornews.net to launch a DVD line of “HNN Presents” horror films from both the domestic market as well as those from the far corners of the world.   The first two, Master Pieces and Me and The Devil, will be arriving on DVD on Sept. 1.

 

This week, Bayview and HNN are back with news about the second wave, which will be ready for genre fans to enjoy on Oct. 13.   These are: HNN Presents: Fabula and HNN Presents: Profondo … both from Italian filmmakers.

 

Writer/director Denis Frison also stars as “retired” detective Davide Marini, who arrives in a sleepy Italian village in the northern part of the county.   Nothing much happens here … it’s a like something out of a fairytale.   But, looks can be deceiving as Frison’s giallo-inspired story plays out with a classic blend of mystery and murder.

 

Indeed, Marini no sooner arrives when it becomes clear that there is a serial killer on the loose and the locals seem unable — or incapable — of stopping the brutal murders that have been taking place.   He begins to piece it together, and oddly, the clues point to fairytales being the basis for the killings.   It would be helpful, in his pursuit of the mystery killer, if the locals weren’t so odd … perhaps too many Fellini films!!

 

HNN Presents: Fabula is presented in Italian with English subtitles.

 

Also heading home on DVD on Oct. 13 under the “HNN Presents” promotional banner is writer/director Giuliano Giacomelli’s Profondo.

 

Leonardo (Marco Marchese — Across the River) is a photographer, a journalist, who has seen too much, done too much and his days are drawing to a close.  He has come to this Italian fishing village in search of a legendary sea creature, the “Red Devil.”   It is a creature of the sea … folklore, a myth perhaps.

 

Chain-smoking, disheveled and irritable (dying does that), Leo makes few friends in his search for the creature, which may be nothing more than a quest without resolution, especially since we learn that he doesn’t particularly like the sea.   Think in terms of a dying man looking to die on a marvelous adventure … and not in some hospital bed, surrounded by strangers.   Instead, death in search of the mythical “Red Devil” is much more appealing.

 

But as Leo investigates, maybe, just maybe, there is such a creature!!  There are the tales, the legends and even old newspapers reporting such a creature.  So, for Leo, there is only one way to find out … to the sea and the mysteries to be found just below the surface!!

 

HNN Presents: Profondo is presented in Italian with English subtitles.
