MVD Entertainment Group Selects Apr. 9 As The DVD Debut Date For Writer/Director Dan Mirvish’s 18 1/2

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
MVD Entertainment Group has locked into Apr. 9 as the DVD debut date for writer/director Dan Mirvish’s 2021 film release of 18 1/2

On June 20, 1972 there was a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House between president Nixon and H.R. Haldeman, just days after the infamous Watergate break in.   Later, it was revealed, that there was an 18 and a half minute gap in the conversation — Nixon’s secretary, Rose Mary Woods, claimed to have accidently erased that segment during a September of 1973 review.

Mirvish’s film picks up the story in 1974 when a lowly White House transciber, Connie (Willa Fitzgerald — Beach House, Freak Show, The Fall of the House of Usher), stumbles upon the missing audio that was accidentally recorded while the president, Haldeman and Alexander Haig were listening to it and debating as to what action should be taken.   This revelation sets Connie on an All the President’s Men adventure.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
It would be like having railroad yard surveillance footage from Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, showing the backside of the grassy knoll from the vantage point of the trains coming and going.   What happened and why … fascinating!

Mirvish’s film is a true indie effort, opening at the Woodstock Film Festival in October of 2021 and proceeding to work the festival circuit through April of 2022 before getting a limited theatrical release on May 27 of 2022.

For the record, the Apr. 9 street date yields an ARR of 683 days.

Bonus goodies include commentary with filmmaker Dan Mirvish and co-writer Daniel Moya, the featurette titled “Covid 18 1/2: The Making of a Film in a Global Pandemic” and the audio tape made for the film featuring actors Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi and Jon Cryer.

Film Masters' 4K Restoration Of Bert I. Gordon's Tormented Ready As DVD And Blu-ray Product Offerings On Apr. 23

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Film Masters announced its latest film restoration project this past week, a 4K restoration — from 35mm archival elements — of director Bert I. Gordon’s 1960 ghostly tale, Tormented, teaming Richard Carlson with the filmmaker’s daughter, Susan Gordon, plus Lugene Sanders and Juli Reding.

If you are a genre fan, especially of the 1950’s sci-fi and horror cycle, then you don’t even have know what Tormented is about.  Just look at the pedigree and this upgrade — on Blu-ray and DVD from Film Masters on Apr. 23 — is a must!

First, director Bert I. Gordon, his list of genre films from the ‘50s include King Dinosaur, The Cyclops, The Amazing Colossal Man, War of the Colossal Beast, Earth vs. the Spider, Beginning of the End and Attack of the Puppet People.  That is one hell of a run!

Next, the star, Richard Carlson, who was well established as a screen name before and after the war became a genre icon in 1953 with The Magnetic Monster, It Came from Outer Space and The Maze.   Creature from the Black Lagoon followed in 1954.   With just two of those films — It Came from Outer Space and Creature from the Black Lagoon — his bona fides were secured.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
They came together for Tormented.  Gordon had a falling out with AIP (law suit etc.) and struck out on his own, producing and cutting a distribution deal with Allied Artists.   

His daughter, Susan, had nice run during the period with roles in Attack of the Puppet People, Tormented and Picture Mommy Dead.

Tormented is a ghost story.  A haunting!   Carlson’s character, Tom Stewart, is driven slowly mad after his former lover, Vi Mason (Juli Reding) — in a jealous rage — threatens to break up his relationship with Meg Hubbard (played by Lugene Sanders — perhaps best known as Babs Riley in The Life of Riley sitcom series of the 1950s), but falls to her death.   

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Real or imagined, Vi stalks Tom in a series of bizarre encounters and he goes over the edge … murder and the attempted murder of Meg’s younger sister, Sandy (Gordon) follow.

Bonus goodies include commentary by film historian Gary Don Rhodes, the Ballyhoo Motion Pictures documentary titled Bert I. Gordon in the 1950s & 1960s: Bigger Than Life, an archival video session with Gordon, an unreleased television piloted from Gordon (hosted by Vincent Price) titled Famous Ghost Stories and more.



Severin Films Tabs Mar. 26 As The 4K Ultra HD Debut Date For Italian Filmmaker Gianfranco Giagni's Spider Laybrinth

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Just when you think there can’t possibly be anything new under the sun, up pops Severin Films, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, and unearths a real genre-fan treasure from the 1980s.   

And virtually unseen in years.   

It gets better … this will be a 4K Ultra HD release on Mar. 26 (restored from the original film vault negative)!!

What is the treasure?  Why none other than Italian filmmaker Gianfranco Giagni’s 1988 horror delight, Spider Labyrinth, which as near as we can tell never got a domestic release — not even a cheesy English-dubbed late night cable offering.   Nope, this is the real deal.

Released in Italy, the film never really gained traction and disappeared into the VHS market ... and gone.   Not any longer with this news from Severin.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Professor Alan Whitmore (Roland Wybenga) is dispatched to Budapest to help out with the deciphering of some ancient scrolls.   OK that gets Alan to Budapent, from there on it is encounters with various women, from his driver to the hotel manager to the coven of witches (led by Margareta von Krauss — Rebus, Elvis and Marilyn, Ricordare Anna) who have a unique skill-set (we will let it go at that) that will get his heart-pumping.

This could have easily been a female vampire film, but Giagni switch things up to good effect — easily one of a kind.   And very “toothy” as well!!

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Bonus goodies include commentary with Professor Will Dodson and Ryan Verrill (host of The Disc Connected) and a half-dozen featurettes — “Caught in a Web,” “Arachne,” “All the Colors of a Spider,” “Smile of the Spider Woman,” “Death in Stop Motion” and “Web of the Weird.”

There is an added bonus, a CD of the soundtrack.

Mill Creek Entertainment Selects Apr. 2 For The DVD Debut Of Documentary Filmmaker Ron Meyer's The Mysteries Of Bradshaw Ranch: Aliens, Portals And The Paranormal

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
About 12 miles from majestic Sedona, Arizona is an old ranch and former movie site called Bradshaw Ranch.   Since 1992 it has become a “hot spot” for a series of unexplained events, a book was written about those events in 1995 (“Merging Dimensions, The Incredible Saga of Bradshaw Ranch”) and in 2003 the National Forest Service fenced it off and set up the Southwest Experimental Garden Array (aka: SEGA) to study climate, or water, or soil … something.   

Prolific documentary filmmaker, Ron Meyer, who has a thirst for the unexplained, turned his gaze on the Bradshaw Ranch and all the stories and sightings that were be told by both the locals and visitors … things that could not be explained.

The result of his research is the newly minted feature-length documentary titled, The Mysteries of Bradshaw Ranch: Aliens, Portals and the Paranormal, which will be making its DVD debut on Apr. 2 from Mill Creek Entertainment.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Six months of exploring, filming, researching and extensive interviews all came together in this stunning documentary that reaches a startling conclusion … we are not alone in the universe!!

How much is government secrecy?   How much is truly unexplained?   What is going on at Bradshaw Ranch?   To get the answers to these questions and more check out the DVD release of The Mysteries of Bradshaw Ranch: Aliens, Portals and the Paranormal from Mill Creek Entertainment on Apr. 2.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment Adjusts To Changing Retail Environment With Walmart 4K Ultra HD SteelBook Exclusive Release Window • Three Editions Set For Apr. 2

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Lionsgate Home Entertainment joins Mill Creek Entertainment on Apr. 2 in what is a mini-trend in the physical media arena.   This would be, SteelBook exclusives at Walmart.

Sure, exclusives are nothing new.  Suppliers have been cutting deals with retailers for “exclusive” releases (a bonus book, packaging, content, whatever) for years, but with the exit of Best Buy from the retail environment, coupled with the rapid increase in manufacturing on demand (MOD), it is only prudent that 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Steelbook releases not be mass-manufactured without testing the demand side with a look-see window at Walmart.

The national retailer is given a 30-day window to move product — a fixed amount is manufactured.   If the title sells out great … a second bite at the apple can follow. 

If, however, the title in question is a dud, then Walmart can return the leftovers, which can then be recycled into the online retail mix without additional manufacturing risks.   It’s a win-win.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey, @dvdblurayreport
Mill Creek Entertainment set four Walmart SteelBook exclusives for delivery on Feb. 6 — Anaconda, I Know What Your Did Last Summer, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Hallow Man: Director’s Cut.

Lionsgate joins the party on Apr. 2 with three 4K Ultra HD SteelBook exclusives.   These are: Cutthroat Island, the Red 2-Film Collection and Rambo: Last Blood.

This is a smart move.   First, 4K Ultra HD production is an expensive proposition.  Most boutique suppliers do limited editions — 1,500 to 5,000.   Second, SteelBook packaging isn’t cheap either … the last thing you want is several thousand “left over” SteelBooks of a title languishing in inventory.

We will know how successful this “exclusive” window move is if we see additional promotions follow.   A major player exits the business and suppliers adapt … smart!
