This is the definitive collection of what Filmthreat magazine called “Grindhouse done right”.
Mike Pecci's Grindhouse Shorts includes the director’s cut of Cold Hard Cash, a re-mastered Capture Device, Stray Bullet, and a new short featuring a chainsaw wielding Evalena Marie (from the upcoming film based on the “Remains” comic written by Steve Niles). Each film is uncensored and loaded with sex, violence, and Suicide Girls!
The DVD is jammed to the limit with interactive menus, behind the scenes clips, brand new recorded director’s commentaries and the infamous “Mom-mentaries” (where the director watches the films with his highly opinionated mother) and loads of hidden “Easter eggs.”
The disks will be released with 3 limited edition variant covers with artwork from comic book and poster artists as well photography from Pecci.
On DVD September 13 from IFC Films is the Spanish-language La Casa Muda, Gustavo Hernandez's original first-person thriller that's already been remade here in the States (The Silent House premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival).
Starring Gustavo Alonso, Florencia Colucci, María Salazar, Abel Tripaldi, the plot is based on a true story that happened in the late 40's in a small village in Uruguay.
No U.S. release is planned yet.

"The film focuses on Laura, who, second by second, intends to leave a house which hides an obscure secret, unharmed. Laura and her father Wilson settle down in a cottage they have to renew since its owner will soon put the house up for sale. They will spend the night there and repair the following morning. Everything seems to go smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder on the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own, waiting for her father to come down."
