A look at what's new on DVD today:
"Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy"
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Released by Universal Home Entertainment
Yes, we're finally getting the footage of the original Marty McFly, Eric Stoltz, for the first time, but for many simply having the hi-def version of Robert Zemeckis' time-travel franchise will be good enough. Commentaries, deleted scenes, a full-length documentary and much, much more come on this new set of the trilogy.
"Alien Anthology"
Directed by Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher, Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Released by Fox Home Entertainment
While not as much of an upgrade over its previous DVD release as "Back to the Future," the Blu-ray update of the four "Alien" films worth owning now boasts isolated scores for each film, all of Ridley Scott's sketches for the first "Alien," the uncut documentary of David Fincher's ill-fated "Alien 3" as...

“One dance with you, Sally, and I’d die a happy man.” These words are stuttered and stammered painfully by a shy and bullied 1950s teenage Teddy Boy as he approaches his dream girl in a London dancehall. Sound like a horror film? Perhaps not, and that's because the British movie Flick (arriving on DVD October 26 from Peace Arch Entertainment; see previous stories here and here), written and directed by David Howard and produced by Rik Hall, takes a touch of romance, throws in some comedy, sprinkles it with a zombie and blends it into an extremely unique spin on the horror genre. See exclusive pics and comments below the jump.

With zombie noir film fest fave Flick steadily approaching its October 26 DVD release (see previous item here) from Peace Arch Entertainment, Fango had a few words—and some exclusive storyboards and illustrated panels from the film—with the man responsible for the film’s distinctive visual style, graphic artist and illustrator Alex Tomlinson. First seizing the attention of writer/director David Howard through his illustrative work featured in Fortean Times, the filmmakers asked Tomlinson to put together a series of designs, which evolved from some simple supplementary material to help pitch the project, to a full-fledged, self-contained comic book universe telling the story of Johnny “Flick” Taylor, the awkwardly shy introvert with a penchant for rockabilly and murder in 1960s Britain.

Flick is a zombie styled horror film, which will be distributed by the North American acquisition company Peace Arch Entertainment October 26th on DVD. The film was shot over the course of four weeks in and around Wales, England. Stylish, colourful, and involving a conflicted killer, Flick is an enjoyable horror film, which even stars Academy Award winner Faye Dunaway. Moving to DVD shelves shortly fans can find out why Flick deserves your attention in this review.
The film's title has a double-meaning, as Flick is a nickname for the film's main villain Johnny Taylor (Hugh O'Connor) and for "B-movie fright flicks" (Eye for Films). Taylor likes to flick his switchblade at high school dances when things do not go his way and when the bullies outnumber him four to one. One of the bullies is played by Ricci Harnet (28 Days Later) who makes...

Since its initial exposure—a 2008 film festival touring stint which resulted in garnering a Raindance Award nomination—writer/director David Howard’s pulp noir zombie film Flick arrives on DVD October 26 from Peace Arch Entertainment. To peer a little further into the film’s off-kilter take on isolation, young love and gruesome, begrudging revenge, Fangoria obtained some exclusive storyboards that take us on a trip to the morgue.

Flick Movie StillThe UK shot Flick will have a North American release October 26th on DVD. The film stars Faye Dunaway, who is a cop on the trail of a resurrected murder victim. This film has toured several film festivals since 2008 and the film has been described by one critic as "an admirable job in uniting a wonderfully characterful cast to populate their trippy, nostalgic, comic book horror" (James Dennis). Check out the trailer for Flick below and save up for the release.
The synopsis for Flick here:
"Memphis cop Lieutenant McKenzie is called in to investigate a series of strange deaths and weird sightings following the resurrection of a murder victim from the 1950s (a local boy) who is brought back to life in modern times and tries to find his teenage sweetheart who is now aged 62 and also to seek revenge for his death" (Peace Arch).

At first Flick feels like a role call of British TV actors - Michelle Ryan, Liz Smith, Mark Benton, John Woodvine are all here. Then, joy of joys, no less than Bonnie Parker herself - Faye Dunaway – appears as a one armed detective from Memphis. First time director David Howard and producer Rik Hall have done an admirable job in uniting a wonderfully characterful cast to populate their trippy, nostalgic, comic book horror.

London -- Clark Gregg's big-screen directorial debut, "Choke," drew the crowds for the opening night of the Raindance Film Festival on Wednesday evening.
Raindance, with 74 movies unspooling over the next two weeks, has established itself in the past 15 years as a platform for experimental, debuting and digital filmmakers whose movies are all looking for a distribution home.
Only "Choke" and the event's closing-night picture, "Hush," have local distribution in place already.
Friday night will see writer-director David Howard's horror film "Flick" screening to an already sold-out theater, largely on the back of the promise of an appearance by Faye Dunaway.
Dunaway is scheduled to give a Q&A, hosted by The Hollywood Reporter, after the screening.
Other festival highlights include rock band Arctic Monkeys, who are in line to support the first showing of their concert movie, "Arctic Monkeys at the Apollo," directed by Richard Ayoade.
The festival runs through Oct.
