Bonjour, French release of PROTOTYPE (1992)!

“Cinematographer Bing Sokolsky crafts a stylised and imposing world with aplomb… [and] VFX legend William Mesa manages to do a lot with what’s clearly very little.”

Marc Dacascos in ONLY THE STRONG (1993).

Out today from 88 Films:

The disc features a commentary by me and @snipsmovies.bsky.social and all!

Anthony Hickox, helmer Brian Yuzna, and the homeless dude Yuzna cast as a zombie larking around on the set of RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3 (1993).

As is tradition, I spent four hours in my local HMV, Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign copies of this for mine and @snipsmovies.bsky.social’s legions of adoring fans.

As is also tradition, said legions didn’t show up!

It’s that time again…

Sad to hear about the passing of Lenny Juliano, who died earlier this week.

One of Jim Wynorski’s stock players, Juliano lit up the screen in Not of This Earth (1988) (pictured), Sorceress (1995), Desert Thunder (1999) (which he scripted) and more.

Rest easy, sir, and thanks for the movies!

💔
