French Dark Mirror DVD cover


Chanced upon this awesome French DVD cover. Kudos to the designers! I love the "happy accident" of the Derrière in the copy highlighting the prominently placed derrière of the photo.

If you come across any other covers (even bootlegs) please send them my way.

Dark Mirror is out on DVD!

After its INCREDIBLE run on VOD (read the Variety case study), Dark Mirror is out on DVD ... NOW!

The DVD's got a deleted scene, commentary with Pablo Proenza, Erin Ploss-Campoamor, and Lisa Vidal (where we talk crap about everyone), and a behind-the-scenes documentary (including some pretty funny footage of David Chisum "hitchhiking" in an attempt to escape the film set).

You can order Dark Mirror now through Netflix, Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

The feedback continues to be great!

Evil On Two Legs chose Dark Mirror as their "Pick of the Week"

Horror Squad called Dark Mirror "Best of The New Releases"

Literal Remains called Dark Mirror "A provocative horror thriller with a killer twist!"

Express Milwaukee says "The story hooked me"

DVD Talk calls Dark Mirror a "slow-burn horror film" with "fun jump scares"

DVD Verdict says "There is quite a lot to like about this one."

Pop Syndicate says Dark Mirror has "Honestly scary moments with one truly unpredictable twist after another."

Lisa Vidal's Interview with Fangoria

Matt Molgaard conducts an excellent interview with Lisa Vidal:
http://fangoria.com/features/21-fearful-features/3225-exclusive-lisa-vidal-discusses-qdark-mirrorq-and-more.html

Some highlights:

"Lisa Vidal discusses her starring turn in DARK MIRROR, which has won over fans [and] quickly become the most watched film in the history of IFC Films Festival Direct Video-on-Demand."

"Fangoria: I know this was Pablo Proenza's first feature length film. I personally thought he did an excellent job. What was it like working with the young filmmaker?

Lisa Vidal: Pablo was awesome, he was wonderful. He really impressed me... Whenever I needed advice, I was able to get it from him. He was very smart, he had great instincts about his characters…and yet he was still very, very open to suggestion. He respected that I was a seasoned actress and that I had instincts about certain things...we had a very trusting relationship with each other. And I think that’s very important as an actor especially when you’re a lead and you’re carrying the film - there’s so much intensity involved."

"Fangoria: The film has been receiving some great reviews, from some excellent media outlets. I’ve read quite a bit of praise for both the film and your performance in particular. How does it feel to see the film so warmly embraced?

Lisa Vidal: My goodness, let me tell you - I was surprised! To me it was always a small film, it was so creative and independent, it was smart - but I was surprised to find how many people were watching it... It’s become a lot bigger than I even expected, which is always a nice surprise. The reviews have been awesome. There’s no better feeling than people really digging the film and performances, and getting into it. It’s been awesome - a great ride."
