‘Horrors of War’ DVD Release Date Announced
We’ve received word that the independent film Horrors of War will be released from Maverick Entertainment on DVD November 6th, 2007. The DVD will have a commentary track, behind the scenes, and other special features. The film has already been an official selection at 20 film festivals and has won awards for the filmmakers at the Columbus International Film Festival, Fright Night Film Festival, and other genre festivals. Horrors of War was shot entirely in Ohio with an all Ohio cast and crew.
“We made a ‘Grindhouse’ style movie, like Planet Terror, or a ‘B’ Movie you would have seen on a Saturday matinee,” says Peter John Ross, co-director of the film. “We’re excited that it’s finally coming out on DVD in the U.S.”
Horrors of War takes place in Europe in World War II, centering on a group of soldiers that encounter science fiction and horror based phenomena in battle. Crossing genres of shows like X-Files and Band of Brothers, the storyline follows Lt. John Schmidt as he comes face to face with a horde of Nazi secret weapons. Horrors of War was made in a B-movie style, yet with a dramatic grounding and an eye for bigger production values.
John Whitney, co-director and co-writer of the film, says, “Everyone got behind this ambitious project and I think we made something special. It’s not everyday you get to make a period World War II movie with zombies and werewolves and have this much fun.”
Horrors of War will be available at various retail outlets like Best Buy and is already available for pre-order at Amazon.com.
