Premise:

In The Deadly Spawn, two campers in the New Jersey woods have their outdoor fun interrupted by the arrival of a meteorite crashing nearby. They go to investigate the crater, but are suddenly attacked and devoured by alien parasites who have hitched a ride to Earth. After finishing off the campers, the hungry space monsters head for a nearby town, where they make their domain in the basement of an old house and soon begin polishing off one hapless inhabitant after another. Four young teenagers, plus one pre-teen boy, try to find a way to stop the angry space monsters before they reproduce and literally eat humanity.

You’ve complained, Universal listened!  After the "opening title credits" controversy 2 months ago (you can read about it here) and the backlash that ensued against Universal Home Entertainment.  The film company has now FINALLY corrected the problem and will be sending out replacement discs for the 1981 Halloween sequel to those who’ve bought the Blu-ray with the incorrect "opening title credits"!

The following message was received by various customers from Universal’s Consumer Relations Department:

Dear "Halloween II" Blu-ray Owner,

We’re happy to let you know that revised "Halloween II" Blu-ray discs are now available. For information on receiving a replacement, please let us know your mailing address and daytime telephone number.

Sincerely,

Consumer Relations
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT

I have no idea when the rest of us will get to partake.

Based on Gordon M. Williams‘s novel The Siege Of Trencher’s Farm, and starring Dustin Hoffmanand Susan George, Straw Dogs marked Peckinpah’s first directorial step outside the Western genre and into a contemporary (and uniquely British) setting. The result is an unflinching and uncompromising study of primal, barbaric brutality that is generally regarded as one of the strongest statements about violence ever put on screen.

Quiet American mathematician David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) and his British-born wife Amy (Susan George) relocate to Amy’s rural English hometown in an attempt to flee the violent social unrest brewing in the US. When David hires some locals, including a former boyfriend of Amy’s, to repair his barn, the couple find themselves being subtly harassed and bullied by the workmen. The more the pacifist David ignores the problem, the more the harassment intensifies, leading to terrifying consequences as he ultimately finds himself forced to defend his home and his life, discovering a frighteningly vicious side to himself as events escalate towards a bloody climax.

Boasting outstanding performances from the two leads (particularly Hoffman), a brilliant support cast, and Jerry Fielding’s superb Oscar-nominated score, Straw Dogs, in the 40 years since its original release, has lost none of its intense, visceral power to thrill and shock in equal measure. Undisputedly a director ahead of his time, Sam Peckinpah’s uncompromising approach often saw him being reviled and vilified in some quarters while being hailed in others. Nonetheless, in Straw Dogs he displays a cinematic artistry very few filmmakers have touched upon before or since.

Straw Dogs (cert. 18) will be released on Blu-ray (£17.99) and two-disc DVD (£15.99) byFremantleMedia Enterprises on 24th October 2011.

Special Features include: audio commentary by Katy Haber (Dialogue Director and Peckinpah’s associate, close friend and PA); audio commentary by Peckinpah biographers Garner Simmons, David Weddle and Paul Seydor; isolated Oscar nominated score by Jerry Fielding; 2.0 Stereo audio; optional English subtitles for the hearing impaired interviews with actress Susan George, producer Dan Melnick and Garner Simmons (author of “Peckinpah: A Portrait In Montage); stills galleries; original US theatrical trailer; TV and radio spots; 1971 on location documentary; Before and After restoration comparisons; Straw Dogs and the Censors; The Peckinpah-Pinter Letters; Sam and Dan correspondence; Why Call The Film Straw Dogs?; The Dan Melnick-BBFC Letters; the Times review and critic outrage; New York Times articles; 1972 BBFC defence against local authority banning; 1999 BBFC Home Video Statement; 2002 BBFC Home Video Statement; 2001 Uncut magazine feature; Consider This A Bad Review; the deleted Pub Scene; film facts and trivia.

Universal: The Original HALLOWEEN II Blu-ray Controversy http://redharvest.net/2011/09/16/akkad-vs-universal-the-original-halloween-ii-blu-ray-controversy/ http://redharvest.net/2011/09/16/akkad-vs-universal-the-original-halloween-ii-blu-ray-controversy/#comments Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:02:23 +0000 Admin http://redharvest.net/2011/09/16/akkad-vs-universal-the-original-halloween-ii-blu-ray-controversy/ halloweenIIblu.jpg

After finally making its Blu-ray debut this week and bringing the documentary "Terror In The Aisles" to an updated format.  You would think every Halloween fan would be happy with the original 1981 Halloween II Blu-ray debut.  However, there’s one person that is clearly not happy.  Who you may ask: Malek Akkad, the son of the late Moustapha Akkad (who served producer roles in the Halloween franchise). 

What did Universal do you may ask:  according to his son, Universal blatantly omitted his father’s name not only on the cover art, but also in the opening credits to the film; replacing them with the Universal logo.  Ryan Turek of ShockTillYouDrop.com caught up with his son where he shared the following words:

It’s disgusting…It’s a disgrace, obviously, bias, objectively, any horror fan would find this as an insult to the man who has done so much to the series. And to come after his tragic death, he’s not even around to defend himself. It’s classless. I’m talking to Universal now and they’re ‘looking into it.

A facebook page has been set up here by devoted fans to boycott the release and demand Universal re-release the Blu-ray.

Premise:

The Carters are an all-American family on their way to California when their car breaks down far from civilization in the remote southwestern desert. But they are not alone. Watching from the hills is a very different kind of clan, a family of marauding inbred cannibals with an unspeakable taste for human flesh and monstrous brutality. In the nightmare that follows, what depravities must this wholesome family endure to survive? And in a primal wasteland ruled by lust and rage, who will become the most shocking savages of all?
