Posted June 10, 2016 04:27 PM by


U.S. label Scream Factory and IFC Films will bring to Blu-ray three recent films: Matteo Garrone's Tale of Tales (2015), starring Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Toby Jones, John C. Reilly, and Shirley Henderson, Jason Stutter's The Dead Room (2015), starring Jed Brophy, Jeffrey Thomas, and Laura Petersen, and Peter A. Dowling's Sacrifice (2016), starring Radha Mitchell, Rupert Graves, Ian McElhinney, David Robb, and Declan Conlon. *Tale of Tales* Sea monsters, monarchs, ogres, and sorcerers collide in this epic film from the visionary director of Gomorrah. Based on three spellbinding stories of magic and the macabre by 17th-century folklorist Giambattista Basile, Tale of Tales unleashes a barrage of mind-bogglingly gorgeous and fantastical imagery as it brings to life the misadventures of three kings. In the kingdom of Darkwood, the King (John C. Reilly) and his Queen (Salma Hayek) attempt to conceive a child through very unusual means. Meanwhile, in Highhills, the none-too-bright monarch (Toby Jones) marries his daughter off to a brutal ogre while developing a strange obsession with breeding a giant flea. At the same time, the sex-obsessed ruler of Strongcliff (Vincent Cassel) is in for a shock when the woman with whom he falls in love is not quite what she seems. Overflowing with surreal, dazzling surprises, this intoxicating cinematic spectacle is a delirious excursion into the dark heart of fairy tales. STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 6. *The Dead Room* Synopsis: Step inside the Dead Room, where something sinister guards a home's horrifying secrets. Inspired by a 1970s urban legend, this atmospheric nerve-shredder follows two scientists (Jed Brophy and Jeffrey Thomas) and a young psychic (Laura Petersen) as they travel to the countryside to investigate mysterious occurrences at a remote farmhouse. Skepticism quickly turns to terror as the researchers' presence unsettles a seriously angry demonic presence possessing the home. Upping the white-knuckle suspense with visceral camerawork and unsettling sound design, The Dead Room creates a sense of palpable danger lurking in every corner and hallway. STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 6. *Sacrifice* Disturbing secrets lie buried in the bogs of a remote island in this spellbinding thriller. Shortly after surgeon Tora Hamilton (Radha Mitchell, Silent Hill, London Has Fallen) moves with her husband (Rupert Graves, Sherlock) to the Shetland Islands – 100 miles off the coast of Scotland – she makes an unnerving discovery: the body of a young woman with strange symbols carved into her flesh and her heart ripped out. When what at first appears to be the remains of a victim of an ancient ritual turns out to be a fresh corpse, Tora is plunged into a dangerous mystery that may be connected to the dark myths of the island's folklore. STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 20.
