Director Richard F. Cunha's Frankenstein's Daughter On DVD And Blu-ray From The Film Detective On Oct. 19

The Film Detective has selected Oct. 19 for newly-minted Blu-ray and DVD special editions of director Richard E. Cunha's 1958 horror classic, Frankenstein’s Daughter.

Little did we know, but Victor Frankenstein all these years later, has a grandson who is dedicated to his work.   Indeed, the mad scientist’s dream lives on.

The film opens with something of a nightmare sequence as teenager Susie (Sally Todd — The Unearthly) is being dropped off by her boyfriend, Don (Harold Lloyd Jr. — Platinum High School), when she comes face-to-face with what seems to be a monster … a woman with a deformed face.   It is a just a tease, a foreshadowing of what is to come.

In short order, we learn that Oliver Frank (Donald Murphy — Shack Out on 101, Strange Intruder) is actually Oliver Frankenstein, the grandson of Victor.   He’s employed by a research scientist by the name of Prof. Carton Morton (Felix Locher), but is secretly working on recreating his grandfather’s experiments.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

We also learn that the hideous creature at the beginning of the film is actually another teenager by the name of Trudy (Sandra Knight — Thunder Road, Tower of London), who dreamed the same encounter with her friend Suzie.   Along with her boyfriend, Johnny (played by John Ashley — Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, etc.), the two couples try to make sense of what is going on.

It seems that Oliver has been secretly experimenting with Prof. Morton’s formulas and periodically slips Trudy a “mickey” that causes her to morph into the hideous creature that takes to roaming the streets at night.

Meanwhile, he has finally assembled enough body parts and has constructed a “creature” of his own.   All he lacks is a brain!!  

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

When he makes some moves on Suzie and she rejects him, he simply runs her over, takes her mangled body back to the lab and transplant her brain into the assembled creature.   A little serum and bingo, a new monster.

Can teenagers stop the madness?   Oct. 19, from The Film Detective — on either Blu-ray or DVD — to find out the answer.

Bonus features include two commentary options.   One featuring film historian Tom Weaver and the second with indie filmmaker Larry Blamire.   There are also two new featurettes — “Richard E. Cunha: Filmmaker of the Unknown” and “John Ashley: Man from the B’s.”

Icarus Films Sets Nov. 2 As The DVD Debut Date For Director Yamina Benguigui's Sisters

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Icarus Films will be joining forces with France’s leading film production and distribution studio, Distrib Films, on Nov. 2 for the domestic DVD debut of director Yamina Benguigui’s cinematic gem, Sisters.

Drawn from her own experiences, Benguigui introduces us to three sisters, Zorah (Isabelle Adjani), Djamila (Rachida Brakni) and Norah (Maïwenn), who have a shared past that they would like to forget.  

Buried, forgotten, until Zorah, the oldest of the three, decides to produce a stage play that tells the story of how their father literally kidnapped their brother, Rheda, and he has not been seen or heard from since.

Talk about friction.  Djamila and Norah want none of it.   They thought that the past was dead and buried when they left Algeria and moved to France … for all they could care, their father could rot.

Thirty years have passed, but one phone call and suddenly the issue is back in front of them   Their father is dying.   One last chance to solve the mystery … the events in the play and the events in the real world collide with often startling results.  Benguigui brings the past and the present together … flashbacks, the pain: the sorrow.  But will the mystery be solved? 

Sisters is presented in French with English subtitles

Mill Creek Entertainment Preps The DVD Debut Of Director Justin G. Dyck's Romance In The Wilds For Oct. 05

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

Mill Creek Entertainment has tabbed Oct. 5 as the DVD debut date for director Justin G. Dyck’s edge-of-your-seat romantic thriller, Romance in the Wilds.

This Dove-Approved film introduces us to Jessica Alaway (Kaitlyn Leeb — as Cassandra Lee in the Heartland TV series, plus such films as Wolves, Christmas with a View, Anything for Jackson, etc.), a geologist, who is working alone on research in the wilderness with her only companion being her dog Charlie.  

First, she gets the bad news that mining interest have acquired the land her cabin sits on and she has to go (it seems a little suspicious).   If you are familiar with the expression, “out of the frying pan and into the fire,” then you can call this eviction the “frying pan” as it has the potential to wreck months of research.

The “into the fire” is the next piece of bad news for Jessica as a lightning strike has set the forest ablaze.   No problem, johnny-on-the-spot is an experienced forest ranger by the name of Buck Thompson (Victor Zinck Jr. — Love Alaska, Breakthrough, Spotlight on Christmas).  He is ready to evacuate her, but when she insists on taking her research with her, the pair suddenly find themselves trapped … their only means of escape, a float plane on the lake, goes up in flames and they are now cut off.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey

We’ve already tipped it off that Romance in the Wilds has the Dove Family seal of approval, so the tension, while real, is destined for a happy ending.   Of course, Jessica and Buck are like oil and water at first, and he is certainly frustrated with her and the danger they are in, but as they stay ahead of the raging fire they develop a bond … an affection for each other.

The film tested so well that filmmaker Justin G. Dyck recruited the pair for a sequel, Christmas in the Wilds, which is currently in post-production.
