Breaking Glass Pictures is partnering with Vicious Circle for the DVD release of four new genre films this August. Earlier today, our man Alex wrote about one such release, the Kane Hodder starring throwback slasher EXIT 33. For info on the other three titles, scroll below!
The additional trio of releases from Breaking Glass and Vicious Circle include movies we’ve written little to nothing about. First is Faye Jackson’s horror comedy STRIGOI (THE UNDEAD), which we last wrote about in April of 2010. The second is a picture called ASYLUM SEEKERS, which comes from director Rania Ajami. Lastly, there’s Ekachai Uekrongtham’s Thai horror flick THE COFFIN, which we have not yet heard about. Until now that is…
Coming to DVD August 2nd (like EXIT 33), here’s the STIRGOI synopsis: After failing to start a life of his own, 20-something Vlad is forced to move back to his grandfather’s old farming village in Romania. Though the village seems like a typical Eastern European haven, a mysterious death suddenly thrusts Vlad into the heart of a murder mystery. As he sets out to investigate, his trail leads him to the Tirescus — an ex-Communist couple who happen to be the richest landowners in town. Though Vlad is determined to confront the Tirescus, his quest takes a detour when he learns that the two bullies may be bloodsuckers in more ways than one…
Due August 30th, here’s the ASYLUM SEEKERS synopsis: Work, deadlines, family, terrorism, information overload … As modern life pushes the world to the brink of madness, six strangers decide there’s only one sane response: head through the door marked EXIT. It leads to a deluxe, exclusive, luxuriously-appointed mental asylum where a staff will wait on them hand and foot for the rest of their carefree lives. The problem? The asylum has only one vacancy. Now, the group of would-be patients will have to prove who among them is truly most deranged. Of course, not everything in the asylum is as it seems, and as the applicants turn themselves over for evaluation, they learn that the insanity has just begun.
Also due August 30th, here’s THE COFFIN synopsis: Su and Chris are two strangers whose lives have been struck by tragedy — Su has been diagnosed with lung cancer just days before her wedding and Chris’ longtime girlfriend has fallen into a mysterious coma. When they both learn of a bizarre Thai ritual in which a living person lies in a coffin to reverse bad Karma, they both decide to partake in a mass funeral for the living. Soon, their lives have turned around — Su’s cancer vanishes and Chris’ girlfriend awakes from her coma — but the good fortune is short-lived. A series of terrifying paranormal events suggests that Su and Chris may have upset the Karmic balance of the universe by cleansing themselves of bad luck, and the people closest to them may ultimately pay the price.
