Two young lovers face an unspeakable evil, and their only hope for survival is a criminal from over 100 years ago.... The Mexican celebration known as Dia De Los Muertos – “Day of the Dead” – honors both life and death. But what happens when the horrifying history of a town defiles both? What happens when the dead cannot leave the living alone? On January 17, 2006 Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company, reveals the ominous answer with the DVD release of All Souls Day: Dia De Los Muertos, available for the suggested retail price of $19.98. In the film, a group of hard-partying students from the O.C. are stranded in the remote Mexican village of Santa Bonita where a nightmare has lied buried for over a century. There they discover an innkeeper with a dark secret, a sheriff with a shocking past and a holiday that demands the most horrific sacrifice of all. Now the ceremony can commence. The hordes of the undead have been unleashed. And on this day, an unstoppable feast of human flesh has begun! Horror fans will find much to feast on, as the All Souls Day DVD presents the uncut version of the film, with terrifying never before-seen footage, in a 16x9 widescreen (1.85) transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, as well as a festival worth of insightful special features. Co-produced by New Arc Entertainment, the film production arm of IDT Entertainment, and Mindfire Entertainment, through their CFQ Films division, All Souls Day was written by Mark Altman (House of the Dead ) and co-produced by Altman and Mark Gottwald (The Specials). Both New Arc and Mindfire are film production companies which specialize in the supernatural/thriller/action genre. All Souls Day has already garnered significant buzz among genre and non-genre fans alike, screening as 2005 “Official Selections” of the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City , UT and the San Francisco Indie Fest “Another Hole in the Head” Festival.
