SPIRAL SPINS SUSPENSE TO NEW HEIGHTS WITH ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT’S
DVD RELEASE ON FEBRUARY 19TH

TORONTO, ON – Spiral – the highly-anticipated follow-up feature from the creators of the independent cult horror film Hatchet – will be released on DVD February 19th, 2008. Frequently described as the unlikely pairing of Alfred Hitchcock and Woody Allen, Spiral breathes new, imaginative life into the psychological thriller genre and promises an unforgettable journey into the heart – and mind – of darkness. With in-depth audio commentary from the filmmakers and “fly-on-the-wall” behind the scenes coverage, Spiral on DVD takes fear to the next level!
 
Spiral reunites Hatchet alums writer/director Adam Green and star Joel David Moore (Dodgeball, Art School Confidential and the upcoming James Cameron epic Avatar). For this film, Green and Moore expanded their artistic reach by co-directing the film. In addition to co-directing and starring, Moore also shares screenplay credit with Jeremy Danial Boreing, and producing credit with Boreing and Cory Neal.
 
Moore plays Mason, a reclusive artist who finds new life in the eyes of his latest subject Amber (Amber Tamblyn, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Grudge 2, “Joan of Arcadia”). Wrestling with inner demons waiting to surface, he grapples with a past that not only haunts him, but may come to haunt her as well. Zachary Levi (“Chuck,” “Less Than Perfect”), and Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”) co-star in the spellbinding psychodrama.
 
Spiral has already received numerous accolades. Most recently, the film was awarded Silver Medal in the AMD Next Wave competition at September’s Fantastic Fest in Austin (where two years ago, Hatchet started its journey to the big screen), as well as the Golden Vision Award at the 2007 Santa Barbara Film Festival. Spiral was also selected for exhibition at this year’s Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival and London FrightFest. Aint-It-Cool News gave it 4 ½ stars out of 5, while FrightFest called the film “A Hitch-cocktail of precision directing, deft pacing, startling imagery and clean style.”
 
The compelling bonus features on the Spiral DVD will help viewers navigate through the film’s myriad twists and turns, including:
 
* Widescreen (1.78:1) presentation, enhanced for 16×9 televisions
