Check out this great article by Josephine Allegretti about Gorilla suit cinema (Ft. The Devil Bear): cinemariot.substack.com/p/go-ape-you...

One of the great Gorilla suit scholars, and author of GORILLAWOOD, has spoken: It's probably Charlie Gemora, one of the best to ever do it, who was the Gorilla in THE DEVIL BEAR. Also, he likes the Blu-ray!

Nice!

Being a one man QC team is not fun!

Next week, THE DEVIL BEAR finally starts shipping.

Holy crap! OPEN DOOM CRESCENDO was mentioned in the excellent comic book RADIANT BLACK, dropped in by Co-Writer Joe Clark.

Thank you to everyone that has grabbed it! The Gorilla appreciates it.

NEW WORK: Delivered 2 collaborative bonus features to 2 blu-ray clients (titles TBA) & overjoyed by this from Justin Decloux & @goldninjavideo.bsky.social : the long-lost DEVIL BEAR (1929)—with Justin's & my collaborative bonus feature—is now available! goldninjavideo.com?se_activity_...

"I need the biggest cup of coffee you have... No... That's too big"

Rewatched this last week because my twin is in love with it. Third time we’ve seen this since the Halloween stream last year. Eric Thornett a genius for making this, and @declouxj.bsky.social a hero for putting this on Blu-ray from @goldninjavideo.bsky.social . Everyone should watch up on this!

If you want to watch an excellent gothic/horror/slasher/martial arts film this Halloween season that almost no one has seen, you should check out A SWEET AND VICIOUS BEAUTY.

If you're in America and wanted to buy a copy of OPEN DOOM CRESCENDO, but now can't due to the mailing problems - The Writer/Director of the film has you covered. Just fill out this form and e-mail him at "the terry chiu at gmail dot com" and he'll hook you up with a digital file of the movie!

Unfortunately, like every small business in the world, I will be forced to stop shipping to the United States starting tomorrow, August 27, due to the elimination of duty-free shipping for packages valued under $800 to the United States. This really sucks.

I'm having a blast editing the talk I had with the legendary @stephenrbissette.bsky.social, author of CRYPTID CINEMA, about the history of Gorilla Suits in Cinema, for the upcoming release of THE DEVIL BEAR.

The upcoming Blu-ray release of THE DEVIL BEAR will feature two wildly different improvised scores you can choose from: One score was performed on the piano by Emily Decloux, and the other score is a multi-instrument soundscape by Andrew Shenkman.

My quarterly reminder that if you ever want to get into Poverty Row Westerns you should immediately snag @goldninjavideo.bsky.social King of the Bullwhip. An amazing transfer & a fun collection of other PRWs.

letterboxd.com/mabusecast/f... I watched this great low budget film via the @goldninjavideo.bsky.social Blu-Ray today! hammer #horror period piece meets a #slasher meets choreographed fight scenes! A bit too long in some respects runtime wise but I have to admire the ambition of it all!

New episode of I Hope You Suffer is out! After blind buying a copy from @goldninjavideo.bsky.social & discovering the glory that is Dinosaurs In A Mining Facility, we finally cover it. Available anywhere you listen to podcasts! open.spotify.com/episode/2SKN...

WARNING: This film features a very devilish gorilla who does things like look through a window to peep on a woman as she gets changed.

Coming soon.

NW: The Mad Monster (1942) My constant reminder that @goldninjavideo.bsky.social is one the best out there, especially if you appreciate poverty row flicks.

Oh, it’s #portfolioday? Here’s some stuff I’ve done… if you wanna see more hit my website: apb-art.com

RIP to Dennis Ruel, the writer/director/star of UNLUCKY STARS. He was one of the greatest action guys working for the last few decades, and a super nice guy as well. This sucks so much.

Watching some 5 star cinema courtesy of @goldninjavideo.bsky.social. CGI hasn't been this realistic since Jurassic Park.

My @goldninjavideo.bsky.social sale order arrived today and I couldn’t be happier. It was a large shipment yes but it was a sale I was more than happy to be apart of, in both promoting it without anyone telling me to and in buying from it. @declouxj.bsky.social thank you for all your work on this.

NW: Revengeful Swordswoman (1979) aka Flying Masters of Kung Fu As always, I feel the need to shout out @goldninjavideo.bsky.social for this LOADED disc. You can tell each movie they release is a movie Justin Decloux absolutely loves. I've never been disappointed in any of their discs.

The only movie I had to do two covers for for goldninjavideo.com which is your favourite? #thrillingbloodysword

Someone scanned a 16mm print of KING OF THE BULLWHIP and put it on YouTube. If you're curious about the world of Poverty Row-ish Westerns, check it out: youtu.be/Zz4bVQaLR2c

Amazing.

Gold Ninja Video is the only Blu-ray label where every booklet is stapled by the person who scanned the film (if on celluloid), shot the special features, edited them, authored the disc, designed the cover, physically put the disc packages together and shipped the Blu-rays.

I've recently been asked a few times why Gold Ninja Video titles aren't on VOD, and the truth is, it's in the filmmaker's hands if they want to put it online. The deal I make with them is only for the Blu-ray, as I don't want to own their film, I just get permission to put it out

And then my @goldninjavideo.bsky.social order arrived huzzah

I was saddened to learn that a Gold Ninja customer, Andrew Conner, recently passed away. We only communicated briefly, but he was a big fan of GNV stuff and took a chance on everything we put out... RIP Andrew.

RIP Zale Dalen, director of SKIP TRACER. I cold e-mailed him asking if I could release SKIP, and he was like, "Sure!" and then proceeded to donate tons of his time with all the extras, in which he was thoughtful, hilarious and just a genuinely creative guy.

Been two days, and if you haven’t already put together an order, like I did day one of this sale, THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? Order now, support @goldninjavideo.bsky.social and support the Canada Postal Strike! And no, I’m not paid to make this post, I just strongly believe in this company THAT MUCH.

You'd be a fool to miss out. Gold Ninja extras are insane. "Your home is not complete until you have a row of these bad boys"

If you want a place to start, DINOSAURS IN A MINING FACILITY delivers on the title. The hidden value: the doc on the making is longer than the film and compelling as the story of a passion project. Also: SKIP TRACER, a black-hearted Canadian tale about a repo man losing his soul to keep his office.

Just put in my first order (already owned Teddy Bomb and Impossible Horror, so add those to yours if you don't have them already. If you don't love those two films I'm sorry but we can't be friends)

can’t go wrong with any GNV release, but again, if you don’t own open doom crescendo you are missing one of the best pieces of art from this century. seeing a rough cut of ODC through an online Spectacle screening re-wired my brain. Profoundly human filmmaking.

Wow! We're having our first site-wide sale ever! Almost everything is 25% off for the I JUST HAD A BABY, NEED MONEY, AND CANADA POST IS ON STRIKE, SO NO ONE IS ORDERING STUFF MEGA EVENT. Check it out here: goldninjavideo.com/collections/...

Wake up babe, new @goldninjavideo.bsky.social drop

ANNOUNCEMENT: Unfortunately, for the time being, no orders will be shipping out due to the fact that Canada Post just went on strike. Even if it's an international order, the postage is paid and goes through Canada Post, and at this time, they're not accepting new parcels.

A Sweet and Vicious Beauty (2012) Eric Thornett (writer/director) Okay. Let's get moving with a DIY gothic martial arts slasher film, yeah? Picked up the @goldninjavideo.bsky.social blu a little while back and hadn't gotten to it yet. 📽 #SaturdayActionMovie #HorrorMovies #SpookyMonth 🎃

OPEN DOOM CRESCENDO, Terry Chiu's post-apocalyptic action comedy-drama madness epic, is now available for Pre-Order in standard, and ULTIMATE 3-DISC COMES WITH A BOOK EDITION. Check it out at goldninjavideo.com

My two latest additions from @goldninjavideo.bsky.social to my meagre/heavily curated Blu-Ray collection

Got my shipment of Matt Farley movies from @goldninjavideo.bsky.social and I am super excited about it 😄✨️ 📽 🎬

What a good time. Can't wait to get to the other films on the @goldninjavideo.bsky.social blu 💖 My ★★★ review of King of the Bullwhip on Letterboxd boxd.it/5h3vFt 📽

#Shocktober 2023 - Phantom Kung Fu (1979) - the villain in this is such a dick, he beats an old man to death and then calls him a “silly old fool” for DYING. No wonder the heroes have to resort to haunting and gaslighting to defeat him, and a twist that does The Prestige one better. #filmsky
