Resurrected Anchor Bay Entertainment to Release ‘Crust,’ ‘Cursed in Baja,’ ‘Abruptio’ on Blu-ray

The recently resurrected Anchor Bay Entertainment will release a trio of new indie horror films on Blu-ray and DVD on December 10: Crust, Cursed in Baja, and Abruptio.

Character actor Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) makes his feature directorial on Crust, an offbeat horror-comedy about a sock monkey that he co-wrote with Jim Wald.

Whalen stars with Daniel Roebuck (Terrifier 3), Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), and Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), and Ricky Dean Logan (Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare).

In Crust, “Vegas Winters (Sean Whalen, The People Under the Stairs) is a former child star who owns a laundromat. One of the benefits of running the place is finding all the leftover socks from his customers, which Vegas uses in creative ways. After Vegas becomes the victim of bullying, he seeks refuge from the attack in the pile of socks. His pain somehow creates a monster willing to seek vengeance for Vegas.”

Cursed in Baja marks the feature directorial debut of actor Jeff Daniel Phillips (Rob Zombie’s The Munsters), who also wrote the script for the neo-noir horror thriller.

Phillips stars with Robbyn Leigh, Finnegan Seeker Bell, Mark Fite, Kent Isaacs, Jose Conejo Martin, Jacqueline Wright, Jacely Fuentes, and genre icon Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator).

In Cursed in Baja, “Pirelli (Jeff Daniels Phillips) gets hired by the elderly patriarch of a wealthy family to retrieve his grandson from Mexico. The assignment is treacherous for the former LAPD narcotics detective, as the previously hired investigator vanished without a trace while in Baja. Beyond dealing with the dangers of the area, Pirelli must fight inner demons that lead to him losing his badge. Can he hope to rescue the grandson when he’s falling apart in the resort town?”
