Throughout the 1980s and 90s, independent and first time filmmakers across the United States saw new opportunities to create work in the horror genre. Often integrating the flavor and color of their inner-America locales into their work, they created films that, while inspired by mainstream trends, are about as far from Hollywood as one can get. Collected here are three diverse films, all produced in the late 1980s, providing a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into the forgotten world of Home Grown Horror. BEYOND DREAM'S DOOR: Lately, Ben hasn't been sleeping well. His dreams are filled with violent and terrifying visions of monsters and death. Seeking out answers, he begins to pursue the subtext and hidden meanings of his strange and terrifying nightmares, with the help of his professor and several friends. As the dreams grow increasingly lifelike, Ben fears that he's losing his grip on sanity, especially as those around him start turning up dead; horribly mutilated just like he's seen in his sleep... A low-on-budget but extremely high on ambition apocalyptic horror film, and the first feature written and directed by jack-of-all-trades filmmaker, Jay Woelfel, the Ohio lensed BEYOND DREAM’S DOOR skillfully blends elements of surrealism, mystery, and grotesque and violent horror set-pieces, resulting in a wholly singular vision. Sadly relegated direct-to-video, BEYOND DREAM’S DOOR has earned a sizable cult following and comes to Blu-ray for the very first time, from Vinegar Syndrome, painstakingly reconstructed shot by shot from its original, unedited 16mm camera negative, and is presented in its director's cut. directed by: Jay Woelfel starring: Nick Baldasare, Rick Kesler, Susan Pinsky, Norm Singer 1988 / 80 min / 1.33:1 / English 5.1 Surround • Region Free Blu-ray • Newly scanned & restored in 2k from its 16mm original camera negative (with tape inserts) • “Where Horror Lies” - a brand new extended making-of documentary featuring interviews with the cast and crew • Brand new group commentary track with: director Jay Woelfel, cinematographer Scott Spears, actor Nick Baldasare & actor Rick Kesler • Brand new commentary track with: actor Nick Baldasare, moderated by Dave Parker ARCHIVAL • Group commentary track • Commentary track with the director • “Behind Dream’s Door” - making-of documentary • “Getting Monstered” - fx featurette • Montage of unused and alternate takes • Unused and alternate fx footage • Bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage • Local news coverage • Multiple deleted scenes • Multiple trailers • Multiple short films with commentary tracks • Reversible cover artwork • English SDH subtitles Vinegar Syndrome – https://vinegarsyndrome.com/ “Home Grown Horrors Vol. 1” Blu-Ray Set – https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/frontpage/products/home-grown-horrors-volume-one "Donnie Darko" 4K Review (Arrow Films)  28 Days. 6 Hours. 42 Minutes 12 Seconds... That is When the World Will End. Fifteen years before Stranger Things combined science fiction, Spielbergian touches and 80s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the template - and the high-water mark - with his debut feature, Donnie Darko. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Donnie is a troubled high school student: in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and in possession of an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world is going to end in 28 days, 06 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. During that time he will navigate teenage life, narrowly avoid death in the form of a falling jet engine, follow Frank's maladjusted instructions and try to maintain the space-time continuum. Described by its director as "The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick", Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast - pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katharine Ross, and television favorite Noah Wyle - and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. This brand-new 4K restoration, carried out exclusively for this release by Arrow Films, allows a modern classic to finally receive the home video treatment it deserves.
