British label 88 Films has announced that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of James Cummins' thriller
The Boneyard (1991), starring Ed Nelson, Deborah Rose, and Norman Fell. The release will be available for purchase on April 9.
Studio synopsis: One of the greatest zombie movies you probably never saw is finally back to chew its way into your 88 Films collection! Released in 1991,
The Boneyard is a certified cult classic of the VHS era that mixes the bad taste splatter humour of such classics as
The Evil Dead and
Re-Animator with enough corpse-shambling thrills and ghoulish chills to make for an essential late night watch.
Telling of a living dead outbreak in a coroner's office, THE BONE YARD is a claustrophobic love letter to George A. Romero that inotrduces some original ideas to the well-worn meat-munching trope. With a cast that includes television legend Phyllis Diller and B-movie veteran Ed Nelson (
A Bucket of Blood) and with ertswhile makeup effects genius James Cummins (
The Thing) as director - this is one low budget bout of blood-splattered brilliance that more than deserves its HD premiere from 88 Films.
