None other than 1959’s The Giant Gila Monster, the film will come on a two-disc bundle with 1959’s The Killer Shrews. The two films were both produced by Ken Curtis and directed by Ray Kellogg, produced back-to-back and released as a double-feature.

    Not super interested in these first three releases, but the video showing what’s coming soon piqued my interest. Looks like they have a wide variety of films. They may be starting out in cult but I’m getting a Twilight Time vibe from the video. Thanks for posting about it!

      I forgot to mention that.

      For those following on at home, it’s this video.

      It would take some serious detective work to figure out all the films on there but the main take-away is that they have a much more eclectic mix of films in the pipeline than the initial slate might suggest. I’ve signed up to their mailing list as there’s guaranteed to be something on there to tickle my fancy.

    I may get the first one, as I rather enjoyed The Giant Gila Monster and I could see it slotting into my giant monster section (plus Killer Shrews is on my watchlist). Other than that, not quite enough of my cup of tea to justify cost or shelfspace but we’ll see what they release in the future.
