Full details: NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Lake Michigan Monster (Blu-ray) Release date: November 2 An inventive, irreverent and riotously entertaining ode to the classic monster movies of yesteryear "LAKE MICHIGAN MONSTER – BANNED IN FOUR LAKES! All aboard! The combined spirits of H.P. Lovecraft, early Sam Raimi and Mystery Science Theater 3000 inhabit this action-packed tale of nautical derring-do and monster mayhem – winner of the Audience Award for Best International Feature at the 2019 Fantasia Film Festival. On the shores of Lake Michigan, the eccentric Captain Seafield (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, who also writes and directs) enlists a colourful crew of misfits in a bid to slay the hellish sea monster that prowls the murky depths. But as Seafield’s obsession with exacting revenge on the creature that killed his father threatens to consume him, can weapons expert Sean Shaughnessy (Erick West), sonar whiz Nedge Pepsi (Beulah Peters) and former N.A.V.Y. – Nautical Athletes and adVenture Yunit – officer Dick Flynn (Daniel Long) hold the show together? Shot in gloriously retro black and white on a shoestring budget, with most of the cast also performing multiple roles behind the camera, Lake Michigan Monster is an inventive, irreverent and riotously entertaining ode to the classic monster movies of yesteryear: an absurdist urban legend guaranteed to appeal to the big kid in all of us."

Full details: NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Burst City (Blu-ray) November 9 An explosive Molotov cocktail of dystopian sci-fi, Mad Max-style biker wars and riotous performances from members of the real-life Japanese punk bands "Burst City is an explosive Molotov cocktail of dystopian sci-fi, Mad Max-style biker wars against yakuza gangsters and the police, and riotous performances from members of the real-life Japanese punk bands The Stalin, The Roosters, The Rockers and INU. In a derelict industrial wasteland somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo, two rival punk bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a Battle of the Bands-style protest against the construction of a nuclear powerplant, bringing them head to head with the yakuza industrialists behind the development of their turf. This extraordinary celebration of Japan’s punk music scene of the early 1980s thrust Sōgo Ishii (now known by the name of Gakuryū Ishii), the underground filmmaking wunderkind behind such works as Half Human: Einstürzende Neubauten (1986), Angel Dust (1994) and Electric Dragon 80,000V (2001), to the next level and is regularly cited as an early landmark in Japanese cyberpunk cinema."

A much stronger line up. Crash set looks great, but I'm getting that William Grefe set pre ordered right now! I've only seen Mako, but it's hilarious and I think its worth checking out the rest. Shame Silent Running is A locked, but a decent month overall. One day The Blob will arrive...one day...

I'm a little surprised this doesn't have a single contribution from Mark Kermode, one of the film's biggest fans and public champions, and somebody who has written about it for the BFI and has been collecting Silent Running memorabilia for 40 years!
