JOE FLOOD (A View To A Kill, Switch)
Directed by MICKEY ROSE (Bananas screenwriter; Take the Money and Run co-screenwriter)
Mickey Rose, famed comedy writer responsible for the early Woody Allen films Bananas and Take the Money and Run, directs Student Bodies, a tongue-in-cheek spoof of the slasher film genre.
US+Canada Street Date: 8/25/15
Synopsis:
The thin line between comedy and horror is hilariously explored in Student Bodies, a spoof of contemporary slasher films such as Halloween, When a Stranger Calls, and Friday the 13th. The body count is rising at Lamab High School, where a goulashes-wearing, eggplant/chalkboard eraser/paperclip-wielding serial killer is taking out promiscuous teens at breakneck speed. When intrepid high school student Toby (Kristen Riter) goes in search of clues that will reveal the killer’s identity, no one is safe from the comic hijinks. Teachers, fellow students, parents, and the quadruple-jointed janitor are all likely suspects.

SHIRLEY KNIGHT (As Good As It Gets, The Rain People, Endless Love)

FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY!
Two-time Academy Award-nominee Shirley Knight (Best Supporting Actress for Dark at the Top of the Stairs and Sweet Bird of Youth) stars as the malevolent mother of the mysterious psychiatric patient known as John Doe #83 in the chiller The Sender.
US+Canada Street Date: 8/25/15
Synopsis:
In this psychological horror film, Zeljko Ivanek stars as John Doe #83, a patient admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a suicide attempt. When Dr. Gail Farmer (Kathryn Harrold), the psychiatrist assigned to his case, begins experiencing vivid hallucinations, she suspects that she may be telepathically connected to her new patient, envisioning what he is experiencing in real time. As terrifying, dream-like episodes escalate, the audience is drawn into a realm that lies between the waking and sleeping world.
Rounding out the cast in the Roger Christian-directed film are Paul Freeman (Raiders of the Lost Ark) as Dr. Denman, Dr. Farmer’s skeptical colleague, and Shirley Knight (As Good As It Gets) as Jerolyn, a woman who holds the clue to the identity of The Sender.
