It seems there's a chance the old Danish splatter movie FLÆNSET (aka Shredded, 2000) is going to get a DVD re-release in July. At least it's listed on the Danish video store Laserdisken's webpage. I've never been able to find the original DVD version (and for some reason I just never got around to picking up the VHS when it was available!). The movie is directed Heini Grünbaum and it totally bombed when it came out originally and the director was never allowed to make another movie! However, it goes without saying that ordinary (lame!) film goers don't appreciate gory flicks and word is this is actually pretty good. Needless to say, I'm crossing my fingers this release is gonna happen. For a long interview with the director (in English) go here.Thanks to Magnus for the tip.
And it has Jens Okking.
ReplyDeleteAnd its a good movie, a lot better than its reputation. Happy to see it's coming to DVD again! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd it has Thomas Bo Larsen as well. He was in DE STØRSTE HELTE, a Danish road movie set in Sweden. It was pretty good actually (for a mainstream film that is). I'm certainly looking forward to FLÆNSET as I've never seen it. Obviously it would be good if it's English friendly.
ReplyDeleteLet us know as soon as you find out if it has English subtitles or not. I would be interested to see this but don't know a word of Danish.
ReplyDeleteSure, I'll mention it here. :D
ReplyDeleteGood? Holy crap... It's terrible! Nothing less. I have the original DVD-release somewhere and I might just have to go and burn it, now that I've been reminded of it's missarable existens.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder.
Haha, feel free to send me your old copy. Burning it is gonna stink up your house anyway. xD
