I, Madman Blu-ray

Kino Lorber will release on Blu-ray Tibor Takács' I, Madman (1989), starring Jenny Wright, Clayton Rohner, Randall William Cook, Stephanie Hodge, and Michelle Jordan. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on June 17.

Description: Book store clerk Virginia (Jenny Wright) loves to lose herself in a good novel, but when she cracks the spine of a horror pulp called I, Madman, she conjures the book's monstrous author/villain Malcolm Brand (Randall William Cook). As grisly murders begin to occur around her, Virginia finds it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, and even more difficult to convince anyone that the hideous character is real. Brand, who reconstructs his disfigured face by carving away the flesh of his victims, is one of the more memorable horror villains of the 1980s (the decade that gave us Jason, Freddy, and Chucky). Director Tibor Takács cleverly frames Brand's appearances in DePalma-style setpieces, doling out shock and suspense in careful measures, making I, Madman an unforgettable cinematic page-turner.
