Now streaming on all VOD platforms is Vivarium, a new sci-fi thriller that imprisons Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) and Imogen Poots (Green Room, Black Christmas) in suburbia with a baby.

In Lorcan Finnegan’s feature that feels all too real right now, “A young couple, played by Poots and Eisenberg, are in search of a starter home. They follow a mysterious estate agent and find themselves trapped in a strange housing development with a baby and an accompanying note: “Raise the child and be released.

In this exclusive clip, we see a strange realtor sell the couple on their new home where they’ll be forging all kinds of wonderful memories. You know what they say about something being too good to be true…

Our very own Joe Lipsett reviewed the film out of this past summer’s Fantasia Fest in Montreal, writing that Vivarium “explores the darker side of the suburbs,” further adding that it’s “built on some pretty deep ideas about life goals, capitalism, gender roles and parenting.

The film will eventually move to DVD and Blu-ray on May 12th via Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!

ollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story

The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!

A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.

Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”

“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.

“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.

“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”

Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.

The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
