Got the details on the upcoming release of FAMILY director John Landis’s second entry into the Masters of Horror arena. I missed this one when it aired on Showtime so I am looking forward to what Anchor Bay has in store for us but I am sure they will do an amazing job on the disc and it will be a must own addition to your collection. Read on for the official press release from Anchor Bay:
JOHN LANDIS’ “FAMILY” MOVES IN ON "MASTERS OF HORROR SEASON TWO"
FROM ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT
>From the twisted minds behind An American Werewolf in London, “Masters of Horror: Deer Woman” and Frailty;
The DVD Comes Home Starting April 17th
BURBANK, CA – Returning from last season’s Masters of Horror episode “Deer Woman,” director John Landis (An American Werewolf in London, Innocent Blood) focuses his artistic gaze at suburbia itself – and creates one of the most critically-acclaimed episodes in Masters of Horror Season Two. On April 17th 2007, Anchor Bay Entertainment invades the tranquility of the suburbs with “Family.” Written by Brent Hanley (Frailty) and starring sitcom star George Wendt (Norm from “Cheers”), “Family” is a film that Slasherpool.com declared “Brilliant, disturbing and refreshing.” SRP for this hometown nightmare is $14.98 with a pre-book date of March 7th 2007.
Co-starring Meredith Monroe (“Dawson’s Creek”) and Matt Keeslar (Scream 3, “Rose Red”), “Family” pierces the neighbors’ curtains for a satiric vision of suburbia, the likes of which had not been seen since David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. Harold Thompson (George Wendt) is a mild-mannered bachelor living in an idyllic, sun-drenched planned community. Unbeknownst to his neighbors, he has a skeleton in his closet – several, in fact. During the day, he happily works in the basement, stripping the flesh off his latest murder victims as he builds the “perfect” family.
When a young couple moves next door, Harold sets his sights on the sexy young wife (Meredith Monroe) as his potential new “bride.” Amid the manicured lawns and white picket fences, can Harold hide his monstrous secret long enough to complete his gruesome goal?
The fun with “Family” doesn’t stop with the feature presentation. Crack open the cellar door and you’ll find a basement-full of bone-us features including:
• Widescreen (1.78:1) presentation, enhanced for 16x9 televisions
• Skin and Bones: The Making of “Family”
• Terror Tracks: Mastering the “Family” Score
• Audio commentary featuring Writer Brent Hanley
• Original Storyboards by William David Hogan
• Still Gallery
• John Landis Bio
• Screenplay (DVD-ROM)
