MVD Entertainment Group announced this past week that the newest inductee into the “Rewind Collection” library of Blu-ray releases will be director David Nutter’s cult horror tale, Disturbing Behavior. The release date will be Oct. 11.
Nothing like being the new kid in town. Trying to fit in, avoid the bad element and stay out the line of fire of the social cliques … you know, “the mean girls,” “the jocks” and “the stoners.” High school is hell!
Steve Clark (James Marsden — X-Men, Zoolander, The Notebook, Straw Dogs … as Teddy Flood in the Westworld series) is the new kid to Cradle Bay, who quickly befriends the “outcasts,” a group of social misfits, who include Rachel (Katie Holmes — Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Pieces of April, Batman Begins), Gavin (Nick Stahl — The Thin Red Line, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Burning Palms) and “U.V.” (Chad Donella — Final Destination, Hate Crime). Perhaps a bad choice … we shall see.
Meanwhile, since Steve is dealing with the loss of his brother (a suicide), the in-school psychologist, Dr. Caldicott (Bruce Greenwood — Wild Orchid, Passenger 57, Double Jeopardy, Thirteen Days, Capote, Star Trek), is sympathetic to his needs and current state of mind and suggests that he might consider joining the “Blue Ribbons,” a school social club that helps others by setting good examples.
There is your set-up, new kid, outcasts and well-meaning do-gooders who have the support of school officials, sounds like a pretty nice place, what could possibly go wrong?
The answer, of course, is plenty! Gavin keeps telling Steve that the Blue Ribbons are evil, programmed to be Stepford-like robots — like the “Pod People” in director Don Siegel’s 1956 sci-fi chiller, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. A series of events confirms this, including Gavin’s abduction and conversion into a Blue Ribbon.
The race is on, can U.V., Rachel and Steve avoid the same fate as Gavin … or is it hopeless!
Bonus goodies include commentary from director David Nutter (Trancers 4: Jack of Swords, Trancers 5: Sudden Deth … Emmy-winner for both Game of Thrones and Band of Brothers), deleted scenes and alternate ending (with commentary by Nutter).
