We also have another title to announce, but this time it's a contemporary one. On May 27th, find out what happens in the HOUSE IN THE ALLEY!
Synopsis: A young married couple in their new home begin to experience sinister forces and strange phenomena after an unfortunate miscarriage. As the events become more terrifying, they must race to uncover the secrets of the House in the Alley before they lose their sanity…and their lives.
This Vietnamese production broke box-office records in its country when it was released there and we're pleased to be bringing it to the states. No extras to report yet but we can confirm that we will have an English and Vietnamese audio tracks and that this will be a DVD only release. (Sorry Blu fans, the costs didn't work out in this case.)

That means that they have so far, announced half (24) of their supposed 48 releases for the year.
48 total? I figured it would be more since in 2013 they released about 57 titles, (in 2012 they released 7) ((Mind you, I'm counting unique titles and not the actual box sets, so Amityville Boxset = 3 titles)) would think that they would put more or less the same number out as last year. But i'm probably wrong, can't wait for both of these titles.
Just watch ABC's of Death, that film has 26 reasons to still believe that horror is alive and well.
You're kidding right? I thought ABC's of Death was utter garbage (and thats putting it nicely). It's 26 reasons to not believe horror is alive and well. Honestly, its one of the worst modern horror I've ever seen.
Anyway, very happy with the announcement of Final Terror. I have an aweful bootleg DVD and have wanted a decent release for sometime, as its a good slasher. These are the types of movies Scream should be releasing. Stuff that's more obscure.
Hopefully the Scream Blu Ray for Ginger Snaps will have the commentary from the writer that was on the Canadian DVD. It might give some insight into the film that will give those of you that don't quite appreciate a different perspective.
Personally, I think horror is at its best when the horror is really an allegory for something else. That is why I think someone like Cronenberg's work is so great (also Canadian..hmmm) and I think that is why Ginger Snaps works on some deeper levels than the average werewolf film.
Preston, I wouldn't count on this film changing the minds of most members on here. I think that they are under the misguided notion that you have to be a teenage girl to even appreciate this :roll eyes:
The fact is, i'm a 28 year old full grown masculine male, and I genuinely think that this is probably one of the best films ever made, regardless of it's genre.
Like Preston said, the allegory and metaphors that are explored in the film are incredibly essential to understanding and appreciating it. The themes aren't just highlighting the issues that teenage girls go through, they are universal to pretty much everybody, and i'm not just talking about the puberty issues. The outsider tag vs wanted to be accepted by the norm conflict is a theme that doesn't get talked about much with this film, but it's right there and I think many people can relate to that.
And like another poster said, it's very hard not to care about any of the characters. How could you not care about Ginger and Bridgette? Their ordeal reminds me a lot of Seth Brundle and Geena Davis' tragic fates in Cronenberg's The Fly. Not being able to do anything about the metamorphosis and how that affects the mind. That's the even more tragic thing about those films, it's not just a physical breakdown, but its a mental breakdown too and it's affects on their relationships are extremely devasting.
How could anybody NOT like this film? Lack of werewolves? Lol, go watch Underworld, guys. You'll get your werewolf fix that way..

Let's just say that Kristen Stewart emotes more in a single scene than Emily Perkins does in Ginger Snaps.
Underworld? No thanks. I'll watch Howling or American Werewolf in London, where there is plenty of wolf action and strong characters I actually care about.

I think it's possible to both not like Ginger Snaps AND Underworld -- for entirely different reasons.
I appreciated that Ginger Snaps had developed characters and was an allegory for numerous social themes. That alone doesn't make it good, however. Frankly I found it dull and uninteresting, and didn't find any of the characters appealing. Watched it once and never wanted to see it again, no matter how "high minded" it was trying to be.
Personally, I think horror is at its best when the horror is really an allegory for something else.
The depends. If you think of allegory as a deliberate device, then I vehemently disagree. And in fact, I think a lot of artists do, too. There's a very famous quote from Tolkien against the use of allegory.
The problem with allegory as a deliberate narrative device is that it very easily becomes strained. I know a few published authors personally, and they do all shy away from it because of that, and instead don't look for meaning in their narratives until they're done - if they do at all.
If you think of allegory as really just a metaphor, a deeper layer of hidden meaning in the text, then you can find that in every horror movie, and indeed in all narrative art. It just depends on the glasses you look through.
You can easily read any proliferate modern zombie movie as being about cultural anxieties in the wake of 9/11 or the financial crisis, a society in collapse and the fear of how to maintain human compassion in a dog-eat-dog world.
Likewise, the Saw series can be read as a post-9/11 allegory about how far you are willing to go to protect yourself or your loved ones - are you willing to sacrifice human and civil rights of others if someone holds a gun to your head (or knows the whereabouts of a bomb)? Civilization becomes a shallow facade that easily crumbles away under pressure.
And the Hostel series are really just about a shallow consumerism gone wild and taken to its most extreme conclusion.
You see, it's really possible to read everything into anything.

Agreed. While a small handful of the mini-films were at most PRETTY GOOD, too many of them just fell flat, were gross for its own sake, and held little to no meaning. They really shouldve picked out better shorts for this one.
