Earlier this month we hit you up with the news that the long-delayed slasher flick CYRUS: MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER was due to hit DVD this summer; JUNE 14th, to be exact. Plans have changed a little, and the film now has been shifted back a few weeks, to JUNE 28th. No real harm done…
In addition to that news we’ve got the DVD artwork, which you can see to the right. Still no update on the supplemental features, but I expect it’ll be the usual no-frills extras (deleted scenes, trailer, etc.).
Cyrus stars Danielle Harris (Halloween 4 & 5, Rob Zombie’s Halloween 1 & 2, Hatchet 2) as Maria, host of a lurid tabloid show called “Last Steps.” With her cameraman Tom in tow, Maria investigates a series of unexplained disappearances in a small Midwestern county. The story leads them to the isolated town of Arkham Heights, where they find themselves interviewing Emmett (Lance Henriksen, Near Dark, The Terminator, Aliens), who possesses an all-too intimate knowledge of the details of “The County Line Cannibal” – Cyrus (Brian Krause, “Charmed,” Growth, Sleepwalkers). As Emmett interweaves the macabre life tale of Cyrus with the story of the killer’s last three victims, Maria comes closer and closer to the greatest story of her life – or what’s left of it.
In addition to Harris, Krause and Henriksen, the flick stars Doug Jones (the Hellboy films), Rae Dawn Chong (Commando, Quest For Fire) and Tiffany Shepis. Pretty solid line-up!
