‘The Sacrifice Game’ Blu-Ray Release

You can pre-order now at Black Fawn’s website.

FANGORIA – Just in time for the holidays, Black Fawn Distribution is bringing one of the newest additions to the holiday horror canon to physical media for everyone (well, maybe not you Grandma) to enjoy. They’ve announced a pre-order for a Blu-ray edition of The Sacrifice Game, originally a Shudder streaming exclusive, which is set to ship out the first week of December.

Fans can order just the Blu-ray from Black Fawn, which includes a 1080p transfer of the film, a limited edition retro slipcase, audio commentary, a behind the scenes featurette and photo gallery, reversible cover art, the film’s trailer, and the music video for Antoni Maiovvi’s “Twilight Of The Flesh”, as well as a series of mini lobby cards. Or, you can pre-order their “blacklist package,” which comes with all of the above, plus the following special goodies:

  • Blu-ray copy of “The Sacrifice Game” signed by Director Jenn Wexler
  • Blacklist Exclusive “Floating Clara” Blockhead
  • Decorative “Sacrifice Game” Christmas Tree bauble
  • Iron-On “Sacrifice Game” Patch from Patches 4 You
  • Vinyl VHS “Sacrifice Game” Sticker from Vinyl Hell Sticker Co
  • 2 Special Limited Edition Surprise Gifts

    • The Sacrifice Game was originally released last year on Shudder, from director Jenn Wexler, who co-wrote the script with Sean Redlitz. Premiering at Fantasia International Film Festival, the period piece stars Mena Massoud as the leader of a murderous gang who turns up at the doors of a boarding school over the holidays, looking for ritual sacrifice victims in order to summon a demon.

    The film is one of many Christmas-themed horror films to have been released, essentially since the beginnings of the slasher genre. In fact, it’s been argued that a Christmas horror flick was the very first slasher film ever, with Black Christmas paving the way for what was to come in films like Halloween and Friday the 13th. But that’s not the only one — we’ve had Silent Night, Deadly Night, Krampus, and of course, Gremlins.

    The Sacrifice Game is available to stream on Shudder now, and can be pre-ordered on Blu-ray now on Black Fawn’s website.

    J.K. Simmons, Mena Massoud, Trevor Copp to Star in Sci-Fi Fantasy Film ‘Spaceman’

    VARIETY – Press Play Films has revealed its latest project, “Spaceman,” a genre-bending feature that blends sci-fi, fantasy and coming-of-age elements.

    The film, written and directed by emerging filmmaker Dan Abramovici, features a cast including Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), Mena Massoud (“Aladdin”) and Trevor Copp.

    The story follows an artist’s journey to reclaim his lost creative passion. Copp stars as the titular Spaceman, who must confront his imposter syndrome (played by Simmons) and team up with his passion (Massoud) to rediscover himself. The narrative explores themes of identity, artistic expression and mental health.

    “Spaceman” aims to combine classic Hollywood techniques reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton with cutting-edge practical effects and hopes to draw comparisons to the work of Michel Gondry and Baz Luhrmann with its approach. It employs an array of techniques, including mime, stop motion, classic animation and theatrical elements.

    The film builds on Abramovici’s previous work, including the Oscar-qualifying short “Play It Again,” which won best short at the 2021 Austin Film Festival. His upcoming feature, “Searching for Marceau,” has already garnered attention in various screenwriting competitions.

    Abramovici, who began his career as an actor appearing in projects like Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” and CBS’s “Star Trek Discovery,” brings his experience as an immigrant to Canada to the film. “My hope is to blur the lines between the tangible and the ephemeral,” he said. “By delving into Spaceman’s subconscious, we are able to explore the cathartic nature of artistic creation.”

    “Spaceman” is produced by Mashayekhi, Massoud, and Abramovici under the Press Play Productions banner. The company, co-founded by Massoud, aims to address the growing need for diverse stories, particularly from the MENA region. Its slate was revealed by Variety.

    Producer Mashayekhi, who has over 85 films to his credit, said: “’Spaceman’ is a unique film in many ways, including it being highly commercially viable while staying true to its artistic integrity. It’s a movie that audiences all over the world will relate to on so many levels.”

    Simmons is repped by Gersh and Massoud by LINK Entertainment, Gersh and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller & Hoberman.
