A Day At The Beach With Code Red

What’s this!? Code Red selling out the slasher crowd to go upscale art house!? No, it’s just another case of the company taking chances in ways other genre companies simply do not. No, it’s not a slasher and heck, it ain’t even a horror, but looking at the spine it’s part of the numbered Code Red collection (I gotta get ’em all!). There’s something charming and admirable about these guys releasing a lost drama film not because the marketplace demanded it, but simply because lost films deserve to be available and seen. That’s my take at least. Code Red now and then dip outside the horror genre – only last month they released a double feature of drive-in titles Between The Covers & Swinging Wives – but don’t expect them to abandon USA horror titles anytime soon: the Director’s Cut of Sweet Sixteen is out on the 14th of  next month.
