Some of you may have been wondering when the flock I SELL THE DEAD is finally going to hit DVD and Blu-ray, and my friends… I’m here to give you an answer. On March 30, 2010, IFC Films will be releasing Glenn McQuaid’s horror comedy for your viewing pleasure. Now go ahead and effin’ thank me!
Or maybe get ready to slap me, as both the DVD and the Blu-ray are plagued with only one feature, and one feature only: the trailer. And that’s it. Then again, sometimes all I want is the trailer, and all I get are special features I’ll never watch, so… maybe it’s not such a bad thing this sucker’s so barebones.
Starring Dominic Monaghan, Ron Perlman, and Larry Fessenden, I SELL THE DEAD goes something like this: It was a time of ghouls, ghosts and most ghastly of all, the fine art of grave robbing. Dominic Monaghan of LORD OF THE RINGS and LOST stars as 19th century corpse snatcher Arthur Blake, who pilfered the cemeteries and coffins of England until his capture by police. But just before Blake is to meet the hangman s noose, he will confess to a peculiar priest (Ron Perlman of HELLBOY and SONS OF ANARCHY) his gruesome tale of vampires, zombies and cadaver dealing that takes him from the savagery of the criminal underworld to the terrors of the undead. Producer Larry Fessenden (WENDIGO, THE LAST WINTER) and Angus Scrimm (PHANTASM) co-star in this deliriously grisly and hilarious homage to foggy graveyards, bloody mayhem and the golden age gothic horror.
I’m sold! Maybe not a blind buy (unless you’re drunk), but a solid rental through and through. Mark your calendars for March 30, 2010, when I SELL THE DEAD hits DVD and Blu-ray, and be sure to PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY OF I SELL THE DEAD HERE!
