FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/15/02
RE: CanniBallistic! Home Video Release!
MonsterPants Movies is pleased
to announce the home video release of the feature film, CANNIBALLISTIC!
This first film by writer/director James Felix McKenney will
be available on VHS and DVD from Spectrum Films' Dead Alive
label. Dead Alive is the home of a wide variety of horror titles,
including Peter Jackson's MEET THE FEEBELES, and will be releasing
CANNIBALLISTIC! on January 14, 2003. The pre-order date is December
24, 2002.
CANNIBALLISTIC! is the gory, tongue-in-cheek story of Will (Don
Wood), a reluctant cannibal, who moves to the country in order
to beat his addiction to human flesh. Doing so proves to be
extremely difficult when his annoying new neighbors just won't
leave him alone. It's enough to cause a man to go... CANNIBALLISTIC!
Featuring cinematography by David W Hale, CANNIBALLISTIC! employs
a unique visual style as well as a talented and diverse cast
including Winston Bramen, Laura Sweeney, D.W. Ferranti and DOCTOR
WHO's John Levene.
Hear what others have said
about CANNIBALLISTIC!
"David Lynch meets Ed Wood at Tobe Hooper's place. More like
this, McKenney!"
Larry Fessenden, Director of WENDIGO and HABIT
"I was totally entertained watching this film"
Eve Blaack, THE HACKER'S SOURCE
Newcomer James McKenney
began his show biz career as a writer/ performer in the underground
theater group House of Borax in Boston, Mass. circa 1991. There
he worked with future CANABALLISTIC! collaborators.
A love of film brought him to Hollywood in 1996 where he worked
as a screenwriter. When a critical film deal fell through, McKenney
returned to his native Maine where he gathered together old
collaborators and family to shoot in 16 days the original script
CANNIBALISTIC! on a budget of beer and favors.
Distinguished by scenes of protracted dialogue, genuine wit
and ironic compassion, with cinematic references to Italian
horror maestro Lucio Fulci and the tonal detachment of David
Lynch, the movie is a strange and potent blend of low-tech sensations
and smarts that remind us of our favorite cult films.
CANNIBALISTIC! caught the eye of maverick horror-meister Larry
Fessenden, and as a result, Fessenden and McKenney are currently
collaborating on an animated series springing from Fessenden's
horror feature, WENDIGO (Artisan 12/17/02). McKenney is also
hard at work on his next film, SATAN HATES YOU.
CANNIBALISTIC! on DVD contains
30 minutes of bonus material, including:
A promotional railer, Deleted scenes and Unedited versions of
the video segments seen in the film!
