Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs and Blu-rays (and hot off the server VODs), and on more distant horizons…
Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.
IN DEVELOPMENT (MAYBE):
Mothers Of Darkness (est. 2019): In 1971 Harry Kümel made a classic lesbian vampire film called Daughters of Darkness (which we haven’t gotten around to reviewing—yet). Now, almost 50 years later, the director—now in his seventies—is planning a sequel with, according to its producer, “a very original twist on the original law of the vampire world.” Kümel‘s last feature was 1991’s Eline Vere. This project was announced in 2017 and originally scheduled to shoot in the summer of 2018, but we’ve heard nothing about it, so it might have been delayed or even abandoned. We hope not. Read the original story at Screen Daily.
