Upcoming Releases / Unearthed Films Announces The Sky Has Fallen on Blu-ray 10/13/2026
« Last post by SRW1000 on September 16, 2026, 08:46:58 PM »

From the Unearthed Films press release:


Unearthed Films Presents
The Sky Has Fallen


Two survivors of an outbreak that wiped out most of humanity decide
to fight back when they notice mysterious black figures carrying
away the dead.

The Sky Has Fallen delivers an intense blend of post-apocalyptic survival horror and creature-feature suspense as humanity faces near extinction.

Within only a few hours, a devastating disease wipes out almost the entire population, leaving survivors scattered in isolated locations. Among them are Lance and Rachel, who soon discover that the plague is only the beginning as mysterious black figures emerge to collect the dead and conduct horrifying experiments upon their victims.

Determined to fight back rather than merely survive, Lance and Rachel set out to confront the leader of these terrifying creatures before the last remnants of humanity disappear forever. Mixing relentless tension with practical creature effects and independent horror ambition, the film presents a bleak yet action-driven vision of the end of civilization.

This special edition is loaded with extensive supplemental material chronicling the film's production and legacy. Included are a commentary featuring director Doug Roos and executive producer James Segars, the retrospective 20 Years Later: Reflecting on My First Feature, featurettes examining the influence of Asian cinema and 1980s genre films, pre-production, principal photography, post-production, recording the score, special effects and monster creation, mask making, prosthetic application, and the original theatrical trailer.

Released by Unearthed Films, this region-free Blu-ray presents the complete 78-minute feature in English while offering an in-depth archival look at the making of an ambitious independent horror production through its comprehensive collection of behind-the-scenes supplements.

Bonus Materials:
• Commentary with Director Doug Roos and Executive Producer James Segars
• 20 Years Later: Reflecting on My First Feature
• Influences: Asian Cinema and the 1980s
• Pre-Production
• Special Effects: Making the Monsters
• Mask Making Step by Step

The film also stars Hannah Simone, Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford, Andrew Dismukes, Marisa Coughlan, Jon Rudnitsky, Lisa Gilroy, Sakina Jaffrey, Iqbal Theba, Lynda Carter and Brian Cox.

    • New Delhi Nose Pepper – Captain Todd struggles to contain his tears after eating a New Delhi Nose Pepper at Farva's wedding
  • Featurette – Set Tour: Actor Paul Soter takes us behind the scenes of the Super Troopers 3

From the Full Moon Features press release:


Full Moon Features Presents the Worldwide
Home Video Debut of
   
Models vs. Werewolves
   
Starring Bella Mraz, Rebecca Stoughton,
Sophie Swiszcz, Alexa Reddy,
and Dee Wallace 

On October 13th, Full Moon Features will release director Danny Draven and producer Charles Band’s Models vs. Werewolves on Blu-ray & DVD. 

In this fast-paced horror/comedy, a group of glamorous models and social media influencers head to an isolated countryside house to take advantage of a rare once-in-500-years full moon event, hoping the striking setting will add some extra spice to their online content.

Away from the city lights, the sisterly bonding doesn’t last long as the self-absorbed group begins competing to capture the perfect selfies for their followers. But the models aren’t the only ones showing their claws. The rare full moon brings out a pack of bloodthirsty shape-shifting werewolves eager to make the models their next meal. Will the women survive this once-in-a-lifetime night? 

Blending creature-feature thrills with camp humor, practical horror effects, and satirical jabs at influencer culture, the film delivers an energetic mix of action, comedy, and werewolf carnage. Genre icon Dee Wallace, beloved for her roles in The Howling and E.T., adds another memorable performance to this playful tribute to werewolf cinema.

Director Danny Draven (Bad CGI Gator) amps up the creature-feature thrills in his collaboration with legendary indie producer Charles Band (The Gingerdead Man). The cast includes Bella Mraz (Death Knight), Rebecca Stoughton (The Virgin and the Billionaire), Sophie Swiszcz (The Puppet Mistress), and Alexa Reddy (One Night Stand with My Gynecologist).

Special features include a director’s commentary with Danny Draven, the original trailer, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and Charles Band’s introduction from the cast screening.

Watch the trailer for Models vs. Werewolves here:



Models vs. Werewolves is distributed by MVD Entertainment Group.

Dee Wallace returns to the werewolf genre.  I have to say the creature effects look pretty good for a Full Moon release.

Wow! That room at CEDIA 2026 with the Storm Audio Fusion 20 receiver was amazing! The Fusion 20 is not cheap, but if you factor in the simplicity of the "all in one" combined with all the features that this unit brings to the show, it's a smart buy. And the biggest thing... it sounds amazing!

That's not bad, Barry. It's $80 on Amazon right now, and I can't find it elsewhere for much less.

I went to blu-ray.com to set a price alert, but it doesn't show a listing for this release*, only a 2009 BD release that's even more expensive due to being out of print. Odd.

[Edit: I changed the search to "all countries" and found an Australian listing, which matches the cover art I'm seeing. It's not helping me find a viable purchase option, though.]

* I've seen at least 2 Amazon listings which list the "release date" as Sep 2025 or May 2022. Confusing...
