Yesterday, we featured Psycho II director Richard Franklin’s 1986 killer ape movie Link (watch it HERE) as one of our picks for the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw – and when we started putting that video together, we had no idea that there was some cool Link news right around the corner: Kino Lorber has announced that they will be giving the film a 4K release on September 10th, and pre-orders are available at THIS LINK!

Starring Elisabeth Shue (The Karate Kid) and Terence Stamp (The Limey), Link has the following synopsis: Young graduate student Jane Chase (Shue) becomes the new assistant to an eccentric zoology professor (Stamp) at the remote home he shares with two brilliant chimpanzees and an elderly orangutan butler named Link. But when one of the chimps is found dead and the professor mysteriously disappears, Link becomes dangerously aggressive towards Jane. Now, the time for “monkey business” is over and the true terror is about to begin.

Steven Finch (Brookside), Richard Garnett (Jeeves and Wooster), David O’Hara (The Professor and the Madman), Kevin Lloyd (The Bill), and Joe Belcher (Coronation Street) are also in the cast, but for the majority of the running time Shue is the only human on screen, accompanied by some ape co-stars. This was Shue’s first leading role in a feature film, and she did a great job.

Kino Lorber brings Link to 4K with the following extras: – Audio Commentary by Film Historian Lee Gambin and Film Critic Jarret Gahan – Deleted Workprint Scenes – Audio Interview with Director Richard Franklin – Jerry Goldsmith Demo of the Link Theme – Theatrical Trailers and Teaser – Optional English Subtitles

I just saw Link for the first time a couple of months ago and instantly became a fan, which is why I did that Best Horror Movie You Never Saw write-up. I don’t own a copy of the movie yet, but it’s definitely going to be added to my collection.

Will you be buying a copy of the 4K release of Link from Kino Lorber? Let us know by leaving a comment below – and if you have seen the movie before, let us know what you think of it.

Searchlight Pictures will be giving Nightbitch, a project that has been described as being a darkly comic “neo-horror” movie and stars Amy Adams (American Hustle) in the lead role, a theatrical release on December 6th – which is an upgrade in the release plans, as Nightbitch was originally meant to be released through the Hulu streaming service. The movie will also be screening at the 49th Toronto International Film Festival in September, and while we wait to see a trailer, Vanity Fair has just unveiled a batch of first look images. Those can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Written and directed by Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Nightbitch is based on a novel by Rachel Yoder. The film will tell the story of a suburban mom thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler. As she embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.

Adams plays that possibly canine housewife. Scoot McNairy (Monsters) is also in the cast, playing her “oft-traveling husband,” while Mary Holland, who is best known for appearing in the Netflix release Senior Year and for co-writing and co-starring in Clea DuVall’s romantic comedy Happiest Season, takes on an unspecified role.

Coming to us from Searchlight Pictures and Annapurna, Nightbitch is produced by Heller, Adams, Anne Carey, Stacy O’Neil, Christina Oh, and Sue Naegle. Sammy Scher and Havilah Brewster serve as executive producers.

Yoder’s novel (pick up a copy HERE) has the following description: One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else… An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler’s demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother’s symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want.
