I have just been sent a press release for a new actio-horror computer game.

MIDWAY CASTS MAJOR HOLLYWOOD TALENT FOR

THE SUFFERING®: TIES THAT BIND™

Michael Clarke Duncan and Rachel Griffiths to Provide Voices in Follow-Up to Critically-Acclaimed Action-Horror Game

CHICAGO, July 26, 2005 - Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer, today announced that it has cast blockbuster Hollywood talent Michael Clarke Duncan and Rachel Griffiths to lend their voices to its highly anticipated action-horror video game, The Suffering®: Ties That Bind™.

Cast in the role of Blackmore, the behind-the-scenes manipulator who seems to be pulling the strings in Ties That Bind, is Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile, Armageddon, The Scorpion King and Sin City). Duncan's deep, powerful voice as Blackmore will influence and antagonize players, just as Blackmore does to the game's main character, Torque.

Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under, Blow) brings her sublime voice talents to the character Jordan, the woman in charge of a strange paramilitary research outfit that has been conducting cleanup on Carnate Island, the site of the prison in The Suffering®. Jordan now finds herself teamed up with Torque as they battle their way through Baltimore in The Suffering: Ties That Bind.

"The recognizable names and voices of Michael Clarke Duncan and Rachel Griffiths add to the cinematic and visceral elements that are the hallmarks of The Suffering franchise," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "Their voices and characters play a key role in guiding the game's hero, Torque, through an edge-of-the-seat American-style horror experience in The Suffering: Ties That Bind."

About The Suffering: Ties That Bind

The Suffering: Ties That Bind is a new descent into madness that emphasizes the disturbing terror of its predecessor with all-new twisted creatures and a few familiar faces, melding big action sequences with visceral horror elements. As Torque makes his way through the gritty streets of Baltimore, the disturbing demons seem to have followed him to the mainland and are now wreaking havoc across the city. Players will explore the tough and unforgiving inner-city streets, with poverty and urban injustices rearing their ugly heads everywhere. The unique morality system returns, as players delve into the perverse world of Torque's sanity to discover his past while struggling to control his future. The Suffering: Ties That Bind is scheduled to be available in September 2005 for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and for PC.

"My fourth zombie flick, "Dead Reckoning", is percolating on 'high boil' since the 'Dawn of the Dead' remake made 27 million in its first weekend. There's a very good chance that 'Dead Reckoning' will go into production soon."

08/01/2005 Freak Out to be released on DVD

Finally someone has decided to see sense and give Freak Out the DVD release it deserves. Anchor Bay will be releaseing the finl in the UK and U.S. sometime in spring this year. Here is the offical press release on the subject.

FREAK OUT - PRESS RELEASE

Cult indie comedy-horror 'FREAK OUT' has finally gained: DISTRIBUTION.

Anchor Bay Entertainment UK and Anchor Bay Entertainment USA have acquired the film for a Spring 2005 DVD release, simultaneously in the UK, US and Canada.

The disc promises to boast a wealth of bonus-features as well as a remastered version of the film itself.

The film is no stranger to horror-movie fans in the UK and USA as it has been causing quite a stir when shown at conventions, genre festivals and college tours, (including Montreal's FanTasia Festival, Manchester's Festival Of Fantastic Films and The Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival where the movie won an award).

'Freak Out' has received unanimously stellar reviews from almost every established genre movie website and fanzine. Amongst it's supporters the film can count acclaimed director Mick Garris as one of it's fans; 'a wild, woolly sledgehammer to the face of Hollywood conformity!' declared Mick. 'Astoundingly funny!' says Film Threat. 'I loved every minute' cries BBC Radio 1. A bizarre achievement when you consider the lowly roots from where the film began.

It's been almost 4 years since the camera started rolling on 'Freak Out'. The film was shot in Southern England. It was shot on 16mm film.
The passage of time from beginning to completion was lengthy as shooting only took place when money was in the bank, when money ran out, shooting halted until further investment could be found and so on.

'Freak Out' is the brainchild of Beyond Therapy Entertainment who primarily consist of threesome Christian James, Dan Palmer and Yazz Fetto. 'Freak Out' was written by James and Palmer, it was directed by James and stars both Palmer and Fetto.

The entire cast and crew were all first time filmmakers with no industry contacts whatsoever. With a heady cocktail of ambition and naivety they just got on with making their fast paced, ludicrous movie which appeals to both comedy and horror nuts alike.

"I think I speak for everyone who had anything to do with 'Freak Out' when I say we are totally erect.I mean.ecstatic about Anchor Bay picking up the movie" says Dan Palmer. "Anchor Bay couldn't be better for 'Freak Out'" director Christian James stated "they are the Rolls Royce of horror movie distributors, with the likes of 'The Evil Dead', 'Bad Taste', 'Halloween' and 'Dawn Of The Dead' they obviously KNOW their horror. But they have also corned the cult market with movies such as 'Withnail and I' and 'Heathers'".

'Freak Out' was initially discovered and brought to the attention of Anchor Bay Big-Cheese; Mo Claridge by Martin Myers, son of acclaimed UK Distributor MICHAEL Myers, the man who launched 'Assault On Precinct 13'. John Carpenter named the now legendary 'Halloween' maniac after the man who kick-started his career! A strange turn of events when considering that 'Freak Out' was greatly inspired by Carpenter's work.

"This year alone we have travelled thousands of miles" explains Yazz Fetto "to festivals such as FanTasia in Montreal to Cannes and all over England taking 'Freak Out' to university campuses and getting an amazing student response to the movie. It may not sound it, but at times it was pretty tough going and news like this has made every journey worth it."
