What exactly is this company? Some kind of offshoot of Code Red?

Just seen this posted by them

Dark Force and Code Red are two separate entities. Code Red has been involved with the creation of Dark Force. Dark Force will be specializing in highly collectible cult horror and action movies primarily on Blu-Ray and some DVD.

Thanks for creating the additional thread, Frightener22. Interested in seeing what other titles will be released (or re-released) through this.

Perhaps a mod can link it to the Studios and Distributors sub-forum as well?

I wonder what will make these "highly collectible".

EDIT: Just noticed this on their FB page.

Happy to start one up! Since this line will be distributed via Kino Lorber, securing titles widely should prove easier with the occasional title or so appearing at Ronin. The need for additional retailer links next to each release shouldn't prove as necessary here but I'll certainly add them especially if one is a Ronin exclusive or something.

[Frightener22]

Looks like 2002's The Backlot Murders is forthcoming:

"Code Red in association with Dark Force Entertainment will be releasing one of Corey Haim's last movies on Blu-Ray featuring an amazing custom designed box cover by a renowned artist. The movie is a spoof on the slasher horror genre and was shot entirely on the backlot of Universal Studios. It features many classic movie sets including the original Hitchcock Psycho house which has never been used in any other movies other than Psycho! Stay tuned to this website for more information..."

How come this isn't in the Studios & Distribution section?

Thanks for all the updates Frightener22. I'm really curious what is going to come out of this label.

[Talyn]

Oh fun! I'll keep an eye out on this studio

[dissention]

Who's fulfilling the orders? If it's Bill, I'll wait and get them from fleabay.

Oh, good. Another Cartel site that involves Bill. What could possibly go wrong?

EDIT: I already have my answer. When I went to the site, this is what popped up:

We're working on our site at the moment.

Please check back soon.

It's just like old times!

[bsend]

Frightener would you be able to update the OP with the link to the store when it goes up?

[Val Lewton]

Dark Force cartel is up, but so far it's just discs already released by Code Red. There are copies of NECROMANCY there though.

[OgamiittoMcJ]

ha 40$ this must be his fleabay shop

[defile959]

It's up now, about five titles listed. The Forest, Necromancy, Hands of Steel, the Sasquatch double feature, and Nam Angels.
