Julia X comes to UK disc

Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of "JULIA X", which will be available on DVD and 3D Blu-ray in the UK this January.

 

Internet dating has never been more deadly as Julia is about to find out. What starts out as a night of romance ends up being anything but as the man of Julia’s dreams, known only as ‘The Stranger’, turns out to be the sort of guy your mother warns you about…

 

Trapped in ‘The Stranger’s’ sights, Julia soon finds out his true identity is not the suave, smooth-talking lover but a sadistic and amoral killer who wants to play a deadly and possessive game.

 

Branding his victims with an ‘X’, Julia is destined to be the next in the long line of ex-dates but unbeknownst to ‘The Stranger’, this time he has picked on the wrong girl…

 

Starring Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, Meet the Spartans), Joel David Moore (Avatar, Dodgeball) and Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Dawn of the Dead), JULIA X comes to DVD and 3D Blu-ray on 27 JANUARY 2014.

 

The films will be available to pre-order shortly!

"Suspiria" to get the Synapse treatment.

Synapse Films, Inc. has acquired the North American home-video rights to Dario Argento's 1977 classic horror film "SUSPIRIA", with an original soundtrack by European prog-rockers Goblin.

 

Described as “one of the scariest films of all time” by Entertainment Weekly, SUSPIRIA stars the beautiful Jessica Harper (Brian De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE) as a young girl caught up in a coven of witches controlling a German dance academy, with a guest appearance by Udo Kier (BLADE, Andy Warhol's FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA).

 

“I’ve been involved in the restoration and release of many films in my career, but SUSPIRIA has always eluded me, until now,” says Donald May, Jr., President of Synapse Films. “It’s one of my favorite horror films and I’m ecstatic that my business partner, Jerry Chandler, was able to negotiate with the rights holders to release this film. This is going to be an amazing project for us.”

 

Synapse Films, Inc. will work closely with Technicolor Rome and Technicolor Los Angeles to create an all-new high-definition 2K scan from the original negative for a possible 2014-15 video release. “It’s important to spend as much time as possible to create the definitive high-definition home video version for the fans,” May explains. “We’re going to take our time with this one.”

 

Synapse Films, Inc. is currently planning the extensive work on SUSPIRIA in conjunction with Technicolor, utilizing both their Rome and Hollywood facilities. The film scanning will be coordinated and supervised by Technicolor Hollywood’s Director of Restoration Services, Tom Burton, whose film restoration credits include Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER, Georges Méliès’ A TRIP TO THE MOON, and Blake Edwards' BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S.

 

Final specifications, retail pricing, and extras for the Synapse Films release of SUSPIRIA will be announced closer to the as yet to be determined release date.
