Cinema Sauce’s ABCs of Death day with various Director interviews being published over the next few hours. First up is Andrew Traucki. His debut feature film Black Water was a great new take on the killer croc movies with his unique trademark carried across in the follow-up The Reef, turning his hand from crocodiles to great white sharks. The third film in this nature trilogy, going by the name of The Jungle, is now completed and almost ready for release. Before that though, Andrew directed the “G is for Gravity” segment in The ABCs of Death and he was kind enough to speak to us to answer a few questions about both of his upcoming releases.

This week in the continuing roller coaster that is the Blu-ray release schedule we are packed with both new and catalog releases. Just a few of the new releases include Schwarzenegger and Statham, there’s more bad teen supernatural melodrama, Soderbergh’s final film and the ”Indian” scientist from Short Circuit gets behind the camera. The catalog titles are even more diverse with beloved Japanese animation, a lot of schlocky horror, an early attempt to make a Marvel superhero movie, a vacation from hell and a lot of classic gangsters just to start with.
The ABCs of Death has gathered together directors, assigned them a letter and told them to make a short film relating to death. Marcel Sarmiento was assigned the letter D. His debut feature was Heavy Petting, a light dog-related romcom but his follow-up feature, Deadgirl, tugged him entirely in the other direction. Deadgirl relates the tale of two high school outcasts who discover a chained and naked dead girl who cannot die, completely refreshing the zombie genre, making it much more disturbing and distinguished.
