Fri Mar 09, 2012 at 09:00 AM ETTags: Breaking Glass, Disc Announcements (all tags)
The acclaimed thriller starring Academy Award winner Cloris Leachman will scare up Blu-ray in April.
In an early announcement to retailers, Breaking Glass says 'The Fields' is coming to Blu-ray on April 24.
Written by Harrison Smith ('Six Degrees of Hell') and directed by Tom Mattera and David Mazzoni (cult favorite 'The 4th Dimension'), the film also stars Tara Reid ('American Reunion') and newcomer Joshua Ormond (Sundance hit 'Robot and Frank').
Based on actual events, 'The Fields' follows a young boy named Steven during the summer of 1973. Steven (Ormond) is sent to live in the Pennsylvania countryside with his grandparents while his mother (Reid) and father (Faust Checho) work through their marital troubles. Though his grandmother (Leachman) and grandfather (Bev Appleton) are happy to host him, they warn Steven not to enter the cornfields next to their house.
Meanwhile, Steven hears news of the notorious Manson Family and their gruesome killing spree. He develops a morbid fascination with the murderous cult and at the same time he can't help but be drawn into the mysterious cornfields. Eventually he enters the fields, where he makes a terrible discovery. Then, menacing noises begin haunting the family from outside at night and soon turn to violence. Though Steven's family tries to protect him, whatever's lurking in the fields is about to make their lives a living nightmare.
'The Fields' enjoyed critical acclaim and audience approval on the festival circuit. Among its awards are: Erie Film Festival (Winner Best Directors, Best Actress for Leachman), Terror Film Festival (Best Feature, Best Actress for Leachman, Best Emerging Actor for Ormond), Philadelphia Terror Film Festival (Best Picture, Sound Design, Score, Emerging Actor for Ormond), and the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival (Best Picture).
Film Threat gave 'The Fields' four stars and called it “American gothic suspense at its subtle best.” The Blunt Film Review called it “brilliant,” promising “this film is gonna scare the b’jesus out of you,” and The Independent Critic hailed it as “a heady and complex thriller.”
Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements will include making-of documentary, behind-the-scenes footage, hilarious Leachman outtakes, interviews with the real people involved, and clips from the world premiere.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $24.99.

'5 Star Day' Blu-ray Announced
Thu Jan 05, 2012 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Breaking Glass, Disc Announcements (all tags)
Four People. One Horoscope. Infinite Possibilities. The indie comedy is planned for a February Blu-ray release.
In an early announcement to retailers, Breaking Glass says '5 Star Day' is coming to Blu-ray on February 7.
Jake Gibson's (Cam Gigandet) horoscope forecasts a perfect 'Five Star Day' the morning of his birthday. Little does he realize that what's foretold to be a flawless day, unfolds to be far less than stellar when Jake's world is turned upside down as all that could go wrong...does. Determined that Astrology has no legitimacy, Jake embarks on a journey to test the theory of Astrology by finding the three people born the same time and place as himself - Sarah Reynolds (Jena Malone), Yvette Montgomery (Brooklyn Sudano) and Wesley Henderson (Max Hartman). The journey quickly uproots Jake from the small college town of Berkeley, California to downtown Chicago where he sets out to find and interview Sarah, Yvette and Wesley to see if their birthdays proved to be as disappointing as his own. Jake's pursuit in finding his three Astrological matches (or Zodiac twins) will not only test his convictions, but validate how life's unexpected twists of fate can deliver much more than the anticipated. The unforeseen takes Jake from the Windy City, to the boardwalk of New Jersey's Atlantic City, to the bustling streets of New York. What Jake learns along the way is an important lesson about life, love, fate and destiny that will unexpectedly change his life forever.
Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements will include audio commentaries with director and cast, never-before-seen outtakes, deleted scenes and bloopers.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.99.
