Apologies for the lack of updates the past couple of days. I blame the exhaustingly stylized, rockabilly zombie movie Flick, which engendered so much cinematic bile, I feared the excess would leak into the other films I had planned to discuss. Luckily, today’s festival topping (so far) double feature comprised of Stuart Gordon’s horror morality tale Stuck (review) and a dark and moving adaptation of Jack Ketchum Red (review), finally expectorated the celluloid loogie I had built up.

Magnolia Pictures has finally settled on its release plans for Lucky McKee and Trygve Allister Diesen’s Red, an adaptation of the Jack Ketchum novel of the same name.

The film will open in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, August 8th, with a slow rollout to more theaters to follow. Brian Cox, Tom Sizemore, Robert Englund, Kim Dickens and more star in this haunting tale about a man (Cox) who loses his only companion, a 14-year-old ginger-haired dog named Red, when some reckless teenagers with a shotgun show up at his favorite fishing spot. Determined to track them down and bring the truth out about what they did, he’s stopped at every turn by the closed minds in his small town.

We’ll have more info, including a theater/city listing for Red’s larger opening, as soon as it’s available. Red follows the tradition started
