DVDfever.co.uk – Press release: Mum & Dad on DVD
Revolver Entertainment
Posted: December 12th, 2008.
WE DARE YOU TO MEET THE PARENTS!
One of the most talked about films at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival and the UK’s premiere fantasy and horror film festival, Frightfest, MUM & DAD, the impressive debut feature by writer-director Steven Sheil is one of the most disturbing Brit-shockers to emerge in recent years.
Partly inspired by the grisly, real-life exploits of serial killers Fred and Rosemary West, and starring Shane Meadows regular Perry Benson (Somers Town; This Is England), the film puts a unique spin on the British horror genre, setting its tale very close to home (quite literally) and resulting in a brutally realistic horror story.
Co-starring Dido Miles, Olga Fedori, Toby Alexander and newcomer Ainsley Howard, this boundary-pushing journey into suburban terror is not without its moments of dark humour, but, viewers be warned, MUM & DAD is definitely not a film for the squeamish or the easily offended.
MUM & DAD (cert. 18) will open at selected UK cinemas on 26th December 2008. In addition, in a unprecedented and groundbreaking move by Revolver Entertainment, MUM & DAD will be the first ever UK film release to appear in cinemas at the same time as being available on retail and rental DVD, electronic sell-through and Video on Demand.
Special features on the DVD include: Director and Producer Commentary; ‘Through a Vulture Eye’ – A short film by Steven Sheil; Behind-the-scenes footage; Cast and Crew Q&A at Film4 FrightFest 2008; Interview with Steven Sheil; 8 on-set interviews with cast and crew; Theatrical Trailer.
The DVD is released on December 26th 2008 – at the same time as the cinema release, 84 mins and retails for £15.99,but is currently on Amazon at the link above for £9.98.
