Bayview Entertainment tunes into the horror vibes on Dec. 13 with two new Blu-ray releases from indie filmmakers that will serve up the chills and certainly get the blood-pumping!
First up is writer/director Bradley Steele Harding’s 13 Tracks to Frighten Agatha Black, starring Bridie Marie Corbett (Bystander) as the title character who goes on a horror mind-trip that becomes all too real!
Growing up in Dallas, Harding became an avid fan and collector of vintage spoken-word vinyl albums with a horror and spooky tale theme — “Tales of the Frightened” as narrated by Boris Karloff being a prime example. At some point, it occurred to him why not make a film about something that he knew quite well … the result is 13 Tracks to Frighten Agatha Black, which is right at home with the Amicus and Hammer film anthologies of the past.
Agatha Black is having a tough time of it of late and seeks a bit of refuge by revisiting the forgotten “treasures” of her youth that have been long stored-away in the attic of her home. She happens upon an old vinyl album that she used to listen to with her father when she was a young girl, “13 Tracks to Frightened Your Friends.” And plays it … the memories come flooding back.
The question becomes, is Agatha Black losing her mind? Suddenly, each of the tales from this old album begin to unfold … the chills, the horrors and the things that go bump in the night begin to be all too real. She’s living in a horror anthology … or is she? Is it just a mind trip?
Tune in on Dec. 13 to find out if Agatha’s world of scares, carnage and ritualistic sacrificial tales are just a figment of her mind … or the real deal!!
The second genre offering from Bayview Entertainment on Blu-ray this coming Dec. 13 is writer/director Jason Hawkins’ The Last Slay Ride.
Indie horror filmmaker Josh Enders (Calvin Morie McCarthy — Mutant Vampires from the Planet Neptune, Directed by Evil, Amityville Poltergeist) has just completed his latest film, which is having its big night at the local film festival. We’ve had the “privilege” of seeing the behind-the-scenes of the film being made, and it seems cheesy at best, but for some reason the audience loves it and it’s the big winner. Enders lands a film distribution deal right there on the spot!
Later, Enders and his “producer,” Ivan (Lukas Verri-Singer), who simply borrowed the money for the production from a local screw-loose thug by the name of Marco (Steve Larkin — Conjuring: The Beyond, Cross Hollow, Tuesday Never Comes), realize that they’ve been scammed. That’s not the biggest problem, Marco has cornered Ivan and he wants his money back … otherwise, Ivan’s grandmother will have her brains blown out.
The solution, go to the mansion of the scammer and demand their money back. Marco, and his silent sidekick, Bob (Jason Reynolds), get wind of the plan and decide to invite themselves along to protect their investment. With members of the cast and crew along for the ride, Enders, Ivan, Bob and Marco pull off a home invasion!
Film deal gone wrong, psycho “investor” and a film crew involved in a home invasion … what could possibly go wrong? In a word, plenty! It seems that the inhabitants of this mansion are more than just scammers, they are blood-sucking scammers.
Marco soon discovers a nasty secret when he shoots the matriarch of the clan, who is simply called Grandma (Eileen Dietz), when his demands for money are rebuffed. She brushes it off like nothing and Marco is attacked and … well, vampires are blood-suckers and that’s it for Marco!
Will the rest of the gang escape, or have they becoming unwitting members of the “victim pool” in this home-invasion “blood drive?” Dec. 13, The Last Slay Ride on Blu-ray from Bayview Entertainment to discover the blood-dripping answer to that question!!
