Port Washington, NY – A broken heart, a camping trip, a battle axe, a bikini-clad demon and a lesbian ex-fiancée… the perfect ingredients for this summer’s newest cult-comedy, new on DVD from E1 Entertainment. DARK RISING’s six Canadian Comedy Awards nominations included a “Best Male Performance” nod to WWE® and TNA® Wrestling star Jason “Christian Cage” Reso for his feature film acting debut. Fans of Army of Darkness, My Name is Bruce and Bubba Ho-tep will revel in adding DARK RISING to their DVD library of camp classics. DARK RISING arrives in-stores August 11 for $19.98 SRP.
Jason Parks’ (Landy Cannon) life goes from bad to worse as a series of supernatural events turn his dream of reconciliation with ex-fiancée Jasmine (Vanessa James) into a portal seeking, demon hunting nightmare. With a desperate attempt to save his fizzled-out relationship, Jason orchestrates a camping trip with the help of his best friends Ricky (Reso), Marlene (Haley Shannon) and Renee (Julia Schneider).
Each with their own agenda, they convince Jasmine to join them for a weekend of fun in the sun. Unbeknownst to the group, Renee’s been having reoccurring nightmares of Summer Vale, a little girl that disappeared in town over twenty years ago, and decides to use the getaway to contact her spirit. The fun and games quickly turn to life and death when Renee’s “hocus pocus” ritual works and the little lost girl, Summer Vale (Brigitte Kingsley), bursts onto the scene. She’s all grown up, she’s armed with a battle axe, and she’s not alone.
The DARK RISING DVD bonus features include a behind-the-scenes featurette, audio commentary with writer/director Andrew Cymek and cast, a wrestling match between “Christian Cage” and Rhino, deleted scenes and photo gallery.
