Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy's 'The Editor' Planned for Blu-ray[teaser]The 2013 giallo throwback is headed for Blu-ray in September. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Scream Factory says The Editor' will be available on Blu-ray on September 8. Rey Ciso (Adam Brooks) was once the greatest editor the world had ever seen. Since a horrific accident left him with four wooden fingers on his right hand, he's had to resort to cutting pulp films and trash pictures. When the lead actors from the film he's been editing turn up murdered at the studio, Rey is fingered as the number one suspect. The bodies continue to pile up in this absurdist giallo-thriller as Rey struggles to prove his innocence and learn the sinister truth lurking behind the scenes. Functioning as a straight-up send-up of Dario Argento, Mario Bava and the cinematic sorcerers of '70s slasher films, Canadian horror comedy The Editor is a charming tribute to the unsung classics of giallo, an Italian subgenre known for its gory and gruesome erotic horror. Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $26.97.
