The holiday horror film is coming on a fully loaded disc.
Cineverse will release NEW FEARS EVE on Blu-ray September 15. The Bloody Disgusting/Screambox presentation was directed by P.J. Starks and Eric Huskisson from Starks’ screenplay, and stars Lily-Claire Harvey, Turner Vaughn, Matthew Tichenor, Jay Woolston, Alyssa Rhoads, Sonya Delormier, Cody Webb, Felissa Rose, Dave Sheridan, Hannah Fierman, Jeffrey Reddick and Jesse McDonald as the masked villain, The Doctor. The synopsis: “As the coming year approaches, three best friends reluctantly prepare for Hooper Industries’ annual New Year’s Eve bash. The clock ticks down and the body count rises as a psychotic murderer known as The Doctor is on the loose. This sadistic surgeon of death leaves Owensboro covered in blood as local police and FBI are forced to navigate through a maze of bodies left in his wake. Unbeknownst to the three best friends, their mandatory party is about to turn deadly when the killer sets his sights on them. December 31 becomes a party to die for when Leslie, Brian, Moses and their colleagues are trapped inside an inescapable building with a bloodthirsty madman hell bent on carving his way to midnight.”

“I believe fans enjoyed the outlandish kills and extreme gore in NEW FEARS EVE as well as the comedic performances of the cast,” says Tony Wash, director of programming and original content at Screambox. “It’s a fun movie from start to finish, filled with all the goodies horror fans look for when sitting down to watch a horror flick. Screambox enjoys seeing brands grow, so we would love nothing more than for NEW FEARS EVE to become another slasher franchise slicing its way through the next decade.”
