Less than a week until "Stephen Romano Presents SHOCK FESTIVAL." is unleashed. The explosive three disc Grindhouse experience is available February 9th, and the news is spraying across the Internet like a pen-knife being extracted from a jugular vein...But in a good way.
Below you can read all about our NYC screening of the tribute trailer section, at the Anthology Film Archives, as well as a sampling of excellent press Quotes, print advertising, confirmed press, contests and more.
"Delightful when taken in small doses or in an orgy of wallowing, Stephen Romano Presents: Shock Festival is the perfect thing for the genre fan - it's like a huge box of candy, and only your self control stands in the way. 4 Stars"
– DVD TALK
"Anyone who enjoys trailer compilations and is interested in some fairly recent exploitation-film history will want to check out this set."
- DVD Verdict
"It all adds up to a nice primer on the kind of cinema we don't see today: softcore silliness like Flesh Gordon; oddball atrocities like Sadomania or Gone with the Pope; splatterific statements like Maniac or Bloodsucking Freaks. Film is too safe today, too micromanaged in to what will work within a certain specific demographic and what won't. Missing is most of the fun, the chutzpah, and the hackneyed hilarity of the Shock Festival follies."
- Popmatters
"Out of all the classic exploitation film trailer compilations on DVD, Stephen Romano's Shock Festival has got to be the best single release to date."
– Grindhouse Database.com
"As much fun as the new specifically created trailers for bogus films are, it's the massive selection of genuine archive trailers that make this set truly desirable. With great extras and fantastic packaging to boot, this comes highly recommended."
- Sex Gore Mutants
"Shock Festival exceeded my expectations in every way."
– Killer Reviews
"This is a great set for movie lovers who hunger for something more than your average Hollywood blockbuster."
– Arrow In The Head
"You simply can't lose with SHOCK FESTIVAL"
- Film Fanaddict
"Overall Stephen Romano presents Shock Festival is a must own for any genre movie fan. It's the absolute best trailer compilation DVD set I've ever seen and pretty much knocks the socks off anyone ever released before and that's saying something."
- Bloodtype Online
"Shock Festival is every cult cine aficionados dream."
- Synergy Magazine
Screenings
The Shock Festival tribute trailers were included in the New Beverly Cinema's Grindhouse Festival (Zombie Event) on January 19th.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the content contributors, cast, and crew who were able to make it out to our NYC screening at the Anthology Film Archives and for knocking a few back at the Double Down both before AND after the show. It was an incredible night, well documented by our own Michael Rasso on the Alternative Cinema Blog. http://www.alternativecinema.blogspot.com/
