SCREAM FACTORY KICKS OFF 2020 WITH "THE LAST DAYS OF MAN ON EARTH" AND TWO NEW IFC MIDNIGHT TITLES!

Scream Factory capped off 2019 with some great Blu-ray releases (as mentioned here), and they're kicking off 2020 with a trio of new titles that I'm eager to check out! DEPRAVED is the latest fright flick from the mind of Larry Fessenden (THE LARRY FESSENDEN COLLECTION), THE FINAL PROGRAMME is a cult British oddity involving the creation of an immortal hermaphrodite (?!), and TRESPASSERS is a new thriller featuring Angela Trimbur (THE FINAL GIRLS) and Fairuza Balk (THE CRAFT). If any of those sound enticing then continue reading to get the full specs & extras of Scream's new releases!

DEPRAVED (2019)

Synopsis: The legend of Frankenstein gets a provocative modern update in this stylishly disturbing film from indie horror master Larry Fessenden (BENEATH). Suffering from PTSD following his stint as an army medic, Henry (David Call - The Sinner) now works feverishly in his Brooklyn laboratory to forget the death he witnessed overseas ... by creating life in the form of a man cobbled together from body parts. After he procures a brain from an unwitting victim, his creation — Adam (Alex Breaux - When They See Us) — is born. Soon, it becomes apparent that giving life to Adam was the easy part, and teaching him how to live in a dark and troubled world may be perilous. A complex, emotionally shattering tale about what it means to be human, Depraved re-imagines Mary Shelley's immortal fable as a modern-day tale of terror.

With the help of beautiful computer expert Miss Brunner (Jenny Runacre - THE WITCHES), Cornelius must race through a wasteland of murder and madness to recover "The Final Programme," which may very well trigger the creation of a new messiah!

TRESPASSERS (2019)

Synopsis: Two couples working through relationship issues rent a gorgeous house in the desert for a sex-and-drug-fueled escape from reality. Sarah (Angela Trimbur, - THE FINAL GIRLS) and Estelle (Janel Parrish - Pretty Little Liars) are longtime best friends looking forward to reconnecting after a period apart; their boyfriends, Joseph (Zach Avery - THE WHITE CROW) and Victor (Jonathan Howard - THOR: THE DARK WORLD), however, are immediately wary of one another.

As tensions escalate over the course of a debaucherous night, things take an unexpected turn when a woman (Fairuza Balk - THE CRAFT) claiming to have car trouble shows up at the door. She's perfectly harmless ... or so they think. As the twists and turns pile up, so does the body count in this stylish, blood-and-neon-soaked thriller which hits with the furious force of a machete to the skull.

SCREAM FACTORY UNLEASHES A COVEN OF WITCHES AND AN EXPERIMENTAL HELL-HOUND ONTO BLU-RAY THIS WEEK!

I haven't seen THE CRAFT in years but recall liking it enough to watch it repeatedly on cable back in the late 90s. (Might have had something to do with a few of the actresses in the film.) MAN'S BEST FRIEND is a guilty pleasure from the same era that I discovered on VHS when I was a kid. And naturally, I wouldn't mind adding both to my movie collection!

THE CRAFT (1996)

Synopsis: Sarah has always been different. So as the newcomer at St. Benedict's Academy, she immediately falls in with high school outsiders.

They have discovered The Craft ... and they are going to use it.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND (1993)

Synopsis: Pulse-pounding action and spine-chilling thrills put the bite into this sci-fi shocker starring Ally Sheedy (SHORT CIRCUIT, X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, THE BREAKFAST CLUB) and Lance Henriksen (ALIENS, PUMPKINHEAD). When an ambitious news journalist (Sheedy) breaks into a genetic research facility, she uncovers the biggest story of her career and unleashes the lab's most dangerous experiment: Max – a genetically enhanced guard dog with a vicious killer instinct.

Superior sight, hearing, strength, and intelligence make him faster, stronger, and smarter than almost any other animal alive – and deadlier. Without the neuropathic drugs needed to curb his aggressive nature, his predatory urge runs out of control ... and once he tastes blood, nothing can stop him.
