The Halloween promotional season is just over the horizon and Visual Vengeance, with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, will taking full advantage this with a cinematic horror trick or treat of their own.
This takes the “shape-shifting” form of a newly-minted Blu-ray edition of writer/director Rob Roy’s 2006 release of Lycan Colony.
The small New Hampshire hamlet of Canisborough — with a population of around 3,700 souls — has a little secret that newcomers, Dr. Daniel Solomon (Bill Sykes), and his family are about to discover. It seems that they’ve moved into a town populated by entirely by werewolves. They lead ordinary lives just like the citizens of any other small town, but they have a bite.
WHOA! A whole town of werewolves!! That’s right, and within any community there are bound to be a few bad apples. You know, a criminal element, those from the wrong side of the tracks, but most are just go-along, get-alone ordinary folk … who just happen to be werewolves.
So, “Doctor Dan,” who should be serving time for manslaughter for killing one of his patients while drunk, has decided to slow things down just a tad with this retreat to a small town where no one knows anything about his past. Good choice? Bad choice? You decide.
Let’s be honest, filmmaker Rob Roy made Lycan Colony on a shoestring, which means indie filmmaker for better or for worse. For arthouse purists this is schlock … for genre fans this gold.
Rifftrax even did an episode of Lycan Colony, so that pretty much tells you where you are at with this. Cult-status and interesting … we even learn that our werewolf friends have little fetishes … which makes Lycan Colony ever-loving licking-good!!
Bonus goodies include two commentary options. The first with filmmaker Rob Roy and the second is a tag-team affair with Sam Panico of “B&S About Movies” and “Drive-In Asylum’s” Bill Van Ryn, plus there is a blooper reel, a music video and the aforementioned Rifftrak version of Lycan Colony!!
