Geoffrey Wright's 'Cherry Falls' Blu-ray Planned for the New Year[teaser]The black comedy starring Brittany Murphy, Jay Mohr, Michael Biehn, and Jesse Bradford is headed for Blu-ray in 2016. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Scream Factory says 'Cherry Falls' will arrive on Blu-ray sometime next year. Cherry Falls will leave you wondering if you should giggle or scream for help. A fiendish take on the teen thriller genre, where there's a method to a killer's madness, and only one naughty way to insure you're not the next victim. Dark secrets, darker motivations, and the blackest humor ever run wild in this send-up of horror films, where it's not always the innocent who survive. From Scream Factory's Facebook: "As excited as we are to be able to bring this to you (finally) we do need to address upfront the question we know some of you will have: Will it be uncut?" "We were fully aware that the film suffered trims from the MPAA prior to its release so when we acquired the film we hoped that we could find the additional footage and include it—either as deleted scenes or reinstated into the film. Unfortunately, our licensor (Universal) only has the theatrical R-rated version in their vault (the same cut that was released on the long out-of-print DVD) and they do not have cut footage in question. "Plan B: We contacted the film’s Director Geoffrey Wright to see if maybe he might have the excised material but were told that he was never given a chance to assemble a longer cut originally. He did not have the footage either." "That being said, we still hope that fans will support the release in High-def. Extras are planned and will be announced at a later date. New key art is also in the works too."
