New on Blu-ray: THE MCPHERSON TAPE (1989) - Found Footage Sci-Fi Horror

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A decade before THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT redefined the horror landscape, there was THE MCPHERSON TAPE. On October 8th, 1983, the McPherson family gathered together to celebrate the 5th birthday of Michelle, the littlest member of their household. Everything was captured on VHS by Michael McPherson and his new camcorder. Including the alien invasion. Shot for $6000 by first-time filmmaker Dean Alioto in 1989, this movie blends the production design of a Jaycees haunted house with a dead serious tone to forge a fun, hypnotic nightmare that upends the concept of reality. Due to a warehouse fire at the original distribution company, THE MCPHERSON TAPE was never legitimately released. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are proud to present the world home video premiere of this important milestone in shot-on-video horror history, newly preserved from the original 3/4" master tape.

EXTINCTION Trailer and Poster: Found-Footage Dinosaur Horror Film

Today we have a trailer and poster for the horror film "Extinction". The film follows a team of conservationists and researchers as they head into the Amazon, only to end up being hunted by "highly evolved" dinosaurs who apparently never heard of the term extinction. As evident from the trailer, this is yet another entry in the found footage genre. It's a small budget project, so don't expect any fancy CGI, but if you can overlook its shortcomings, perhaps there's some genuine (cheesy) fun to be had here. Directed by Adam J. Spinks, the film stars Ben Loyd Holmes, Sarah Mac, Ernesto Cantu, Neil Newbon Hollyoaks, Daniel Caren, Ross O’Hennessy and Dolores Reynals.

"Extinction" will be distributed internationally by High Fliers Films and the cinematic release is scheduled for March 2015 with the World Premiere in London’s Leicester Square.
