ON DECEMBER 6TH, UMBRELLA ENTERTAINMENT GIVES US KILLER WHALES, HIDDEN PREHISTORIC WORLDS, AND CANNIBALS!
While a tad light on the Horror, Cult, and Exploitation titles, Umbrella has a really solid lineup of films for December! Of particular interest are the Dino de Laurentiis-produced ORCA (which boasts one of the most disturbing scenes in cinematic history!), the World War II-era fantasy-adventure THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT, and the (in my opinion) criminally underseen CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE (aka INVASION OF THE HEADHUNTERS), starring John Saxon! For full details on these titles (and a list of Umbrella's other releases) continue onward!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Umbrella's 4K-restored Blu-ray of SUSPIRIA is now available after a brief delay. You can order it HERE.
- FAIR GAME will be released for the first time ever on Blu-ray on January 3rd! You can pre-order yourself a copy of this region free disc HERE. This release is packed with extras, including an audio commentary with the director, five short films, storyboard & image galleries, interviews, and more!
- Also due out on January 3rd is STEPHEN KING'S SILVER BULLET! Along with cool new cover art, the disc boasts a director's commentary, cast & crew interviews, isolated score selections with commentary by composer Jay Chattaway, and MORE! Order your copy HERE!
Synopsis: The horrors of war take on a whole new meaning for Vietnam vet Norman Hopper (John Saxon, ENTER THE DRAGON), whose quiet domestic life in Atlanta is shattered by the return of Charlie Bukowski, a combat buddy who dredges up terrifying flashbacks of flesh eating and bloodshed in the war-torn jungles.
Now on the run from the law after taking a bit out of an unwilling victim, Charlie begs Norman to help him get out of town with another fellow veteran, Tom. Soon the ragtag team of cannibals are fighting for their lives, spreading a deadly contagion through the city before heading into the sewers for a gut-wrenching climax you won't soon forget!

The castaways end up marooned on a mysterious uncharted island, which is inhabited by giant carnivorous creatures.
In order to stay alive, they're pitted to the death against deadly dinosaurs, fearsome sea monsters, soaring pterodactyls, and marauding tribes of primitive humans. Will they escape their prehistoric prison, or will they become THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT?!

ORCA (1977)

Also starring Bo Derek (10), Charlotte Rampling (THE NIGHT PORTER), Will Sampson (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST), Keenan Wynn (DR.
