A Cursed DVD release!

Grayson Pictures is giving a UK DVD release to the rarely seen Singaporean military chiller CURSE this September.

Set in on the Island of Pulau Hantu in the south of Singapore. CURSE tells the terrifying tale of a military squad sent to an island to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a group of soldiers. Accidentally disturbing a burial site, they unleash a terrifying supernatural curse…

Curse is directed by Esan Sivalinhgam who said of the shoot: “We expected it to be one hell of an adventure but it turned out to be the adventure from hell”. Facing torrential downpours, extreme temperatures, venomous reptiles plus censorship issues and stumbling across a real burial site, it was a miracle the film was completed in its fifteen-day schedule.

CURSE will be the first release by newly-created Grayson Pictures and more details of release, including artwork, more stills and special extras will be announced soon.

View the trailer on YouTube.

The film hits UK DVD shelves on Sep 10.

The Cabin on Disc

Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon's "The Cabin in the Woods" is being released to UK DVD and Blu-Ray this September.

Beginning as a conventional horror film, a rambunctious group of five college friends steal away for a weekend of debauchery in an isolated country cabin, only to be attacked by horrific supernatural creatures in a night of endless terror and bloodshed.

Sound familiar? Just wait.

With their efforts to escape being continually thwarted, do they have any chance of survival?

So, if you think you know the story, think again.

The Raven comes to UK DVD & Blu-Ray

John Cusak plays Edgar Allen Poe in this fictional tale about a serial killer who is turning Poe's tales of murder and mayhem into reality in 19th century Maryland.

Believing that he might have some insight into how the killer’s mind works, he finds himself being draughted in to help the local police force solve the case. But they soon find themselves in a race against time, when the killer kidnaps Poe’s love interest Emily.

The film is basically a modern day twist on the works of the noted horror author, which takes many of his infamous tales, such as “Murders in the Rue Morgue”, “Pit and the Pendulum” and “Masque of the Red Death” and gives them an updated gothic feel, which fans of Poe’s work should enjoy.

Also starring Alice Eve, Luke Evans and Branden Gleeson, The Raven is directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta).

The film is released to UK DVD and Blu ray July 30th
