I heard this infamous trilogy (well, actually only Aftermath is infamous here) is hitting DVD stores in the US. For a horror fan this lot is unmissable!
But here's the bad news:
AFTERMATH DVD banned!: The upcoming Unearthed Films' AFTERMATH/GENESIS double feature DVD has been BANNED from every retailer across the country! Best Buy won't touch it. Suncoast won't allow it in their stores, every retailer so far refuses to carry it after viewing screeners and reading the IMDB listing. It sounds like the only retailers that will sell it are online retailers. I myself am a little upset about this turn of events, especially since we were able to get the GUINEA PIG Box Set into Best Buy.
We also ran into problems with the alternate cover of the dvd of AFTERMATH. Every dvd was supposed to be a flip cover. The amazing artwork of Wes Benscoter on one side and the highly revolting original video release cover on the other side. Now, being the jaded lad I am, I totally forgot that the original release has a naked dead man on the cover. Oh, I didn't forget, I was just too jaded to realize that the Norms out there would freak out. So the only way you will be able to get your hands on these ultra repulsive flip cover dvd's will be on our website and through the indie dvd retailers on the web.
I also don't think we will be able to get them into Canada as well since they have to go through a ratings board and there is no way that anyone is going to give a seal of approval on AFTERMATH. I'm sure everyone in Canada will be able to order these through the mail like everyone else but so far, retailers and distributors have been a little hostile towards us over this dvd.
Aaanyway: whoever gets it - or already saw it - please tell me what you think and which film's your favourite. In my case it would be Genesis: not as shocking as the brutal Aftermath (a very realistic description of a sadistic necrophiliac at work), but hitting the viewer hard with the beauty of its vision.
