Masked Director's COME OUT AND PLAY Set for DVD & Blu-ray Release Tomorrow
By: Tyler Peterson
Based on Juan José Plans' novel, "El Juego De Los Ninos," COME OUT AND PLAY is Makinov's directorial debut. The elusive director, who wears a mask on set and refuses to reveal his first and last name, forged a new identity after surviving a near death experience. To this day, Makinov's true identity remains a mystery.
In his first bone-chilling feature film, Beth (Vinessa Shaw, 3:10 To Yuma) and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Damages), a happy young couple expecting a child, have traveled to Mexico for a romantic getaway. Francis insists on venturing by boat to a more serene locale; Beth hesitantly agrees. As they dock on a sun-kissed beach where children are playing and giggling, everything seems perfect at first. But as they wander the strangely empty streets, an atmosphere of unease sets in: an abandoned hotel, a distress call that repeatedly echoes from a radio set, the sense of being watched with no adults in sight. When Francis witnesses the violent death of an old man (Daniel Giménez Cacho, Bad Education) at the hands of a smiling little girl, a day in paradise quickly turns into a struggle for survival. Flatiron Film Company, a label of Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM), will release COME OUT AND PLAY on June 18 on Blu-ray and DVD, following its theatrical debut in March 2013. The film had its world premiere at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness showcase and released on cable VOD and digital download on February 22, 2013. COME OUT AND PLAY is directed, written, produced and edited by Makinov; executive produced by Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna's Canana Films. The DVD includes a Behind-the-scenes Making of Featurette; Cast Interviews and Deleted Scenes.Pricing: $26.95; $29.95 BD/DVD Combo PackRuntime: 86 min + extras
