Umbrella Entertainment Announces May Releases

Posted January 21, 2025 11:30 PM by Webmaster

Australian label Umbrella Entertainment has announced its May batch of 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases. They are: The Fall (2006), Storm Warning (2007), Shutter (2004), and Thai Horror Collection (2006-2017).

The Fall 4K Blu-ray

The Fall is a breathtaking treat from visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh (The Cell, Immortals), a tribute to storytellers, to love, to the power of imagination, and to cinema.

Shot in 24 countries using no sets and entirely funded by Tarsem Singh. The Fall is visually stunning with transportive storytelling, destined to linger long in the imagination.

In 1920s Los Angeles, whilst rehabilitating in hospital after a fall, innocent optimist Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) strikes up an unlikely friendship with Hollywood stuntman Roy (Lee Pace; Twilight Saga, The Hobbit). Recovering from a near fatal accident and a personal betrayal, Roy begins to tell of a magical, mythological land ruled by Governor Odious and the 5 extraordinary heroes charged to defeat him - an enthralling story of color, texture and immense riches unravels and it is only when the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur that Alexandria realizes how much there is at stake.

DORM

"I know a secret and if you promise not to tell anyone, I will tell you…."When 12-year-old Ton transfers to an all-boys boarding school, he's taunted by his peers and terrified by their tales about the ghosts that inhabit the school. Ton is utterly miserable until he befriends a mysterious fellow pupil.

ALONE

PHOBIA (aka 4BIA)

Face Your Fears. Four horror tales revolve around an accident victim, a bullied youth, ghost stories and a deceased princess.

PHOBIA 2

Don't be surprised if you are addicted to fear. An anthology of five macabre short stories about hungry ghosts, comatose brain dead, a group of bright-eyed actors, an unscrupulous car salesman, and careless backpacking tourists.

COMING SOON

What kind of scenes in a horror film scares you the most? When a ghost appears totally unexpectedly? When the main character does not see the ghost lurking up behind him? When at the very end you find out that the main character was actually a ghost all along? None of this compares to the feeling of arriving home alone and suddenly being struck by a feeling of déjà vu that you are reenacting the very same scenes in the horror movie you just saw!

LADDALAND

Buying a home is a dream that everyone strives for. Thee is one of millions in Bangkok that cannot afford a home. One day, a huge job opportunity knocks on his door and Thee accepts a new position and moves his family to Laddaland, a new housing project with large, beautiful homes. But death is something we all must face soon or later, and in Laddaland, it's your dead neighbors that you must deal with.

COUNTDOWN

"Promise me you won't leave me." Unable to accept the harsh truth that their families were going bankrupt in the 1997 Tom Yum Goong Crisis, two best friends, Boum and Ib decided to end their lives together at their families' unfinished tower, where they promised to be together forever.
