FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut – official DVD coming in April!

 

“Guaranteed to be the goriest mockumentary you’ll ever see!” – Filmarcade.net

 

                Happy Cloud Pictures is pleased to announce that its fourth feature, Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut will celebrate its official DVD release on April 7, 2009.

 

As detailed in Fangoria Magazine, Splatter Movie is surreal and off-beat “documentary” about the making of a slasher movie called “Tessaract” (which, in turn, is about a group of filmmakers shooting a movie called “Splatter Movie”) whose cast and crew is being stalked by a killer masquerading as the film’s fictional killer. Written by Mike Watt and directed by and starring Amy Lynn Best, Splatter Movie quickly spirals into bizarre territory as the line between film and reality blurs—then disappears entirely!

 

“It features everything that a slasher should (T&A and inventive kills – watch for the excellent “fishhook” scene), it mixes reality with film in a way that few films manage to do, and best of all, it’s original,” raves The Movies Made Me Do It. “If this were a Hollywood film, there would already be a sequel, a remake, and a dozen imitators in the works. 10/10.”

 

Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut stars Tom (The Evil Dead) Sullivan, Debbie (Nowhere Man) Rochon, Sofiya (A Feast of Flesh) Smirnova, Elske (Poultrygeist) McCain, Rachelle (Jess Franco’s Take-Away Spirit) Williams and Nikki (Demon Divas and the Lanes of Damnation) McCrae. The movie features the song “Spot the Psycho” by Cornbugs, featuring vocals by Choptop (aka Bill (Repo: The Genetic Opera) Moseley).  

 

“An intelligent, post-modern documentary/slasher in which the boundaries between fiction and reality blur!” – The Swedish Gore Society.

 

Directed by Amy Lynn Best. Written by Mike Watt. Director of Photography: Jeff Waltrowski. Special Effects: Eric Molinaris. Special Make-Up Don Bumgarner. Executive Producers: Bob Kuiper, Fred Obermiller, Ted Sobek, Tim Buchholtz.

 

                The official DVD release comes loaded with a companion film, deleted scenes and more. This release also marks the debut of Happy Cloud Pictures’ own distribution arm, bringing the DVD straight to the consumer and eliminating the red tape. The M.S.R. for Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut is $19.95, but to commemorate the event, HCP is offering $10 off the official copy to anyone who bought the previous “work-in-progress” DVD-R release online or at past conventions.

 

                To coincide with this auspicious release, Happy Cloud Pictures will also release a companion screenplay annotated and illustrated, available separately, detailed with numerous behind-the-scenes photos and details about the production from Best and Watt. This handsome collector’s book will be available for a limited time and offered autographed through the HCP website at www.happycloudpictures.com – For more information, please visit the site.
