Ronin Flix is proud to be commemorating the ultimate ‘scary’ movie with a new 2 disc Blu-ray this All Hallows’ Eve. Made by then young horror fan and prolific genre screenwriter / director / producer Rolfe Kanefsky in 1990, There’s Nothing Out There is “the cult classic that satirized the horror genre long before Wes Craven ever convinced you he did it first." (Cinema Crazed).

Featuring Craig Peck as the penultimate horror-geek everyone loves to make fun of, and Wendy Bednarz, Mark Collver, and Bonnie Bowers as his college mates, There’s Nothing Out There quickly moves into familiar territory when the cast heads out of town for some Spring Break shenanigans. Described as a “horror fan’s wet dream”, Kanefsky’s meta-horror classic is “funny, intelligent, and always, always, always, rewatchable... a blast of goop and boobs from beginning to its loopy finale” (Reel Reviews).

“Rolfe Kanefsky certainly knows how to send up ‘Friday The 13th’ -type movies with wit, style and suspense.” - L.A. Times

"A blast, an effective mix of horror and comedy done right." - rockshockpop.com

“If nothing else, [There’s Nothing Out There] should be rightfully regarded as the original ‘cabin in the woods’ take-off.” - oh-the-horror.com

Featuring a limited edition slipcover and a 16” x 20” retro mini-poster featuring the original poster art (initial run only), the new commemorative edition of There’s Nothing Out There comes fully loaded with 2 discs. Disc one features a NEW 2K restoration of the film done by Ronin Flix in 2023, NEW English stereo DTS-HD master audio (feature only), two (2) NEW audio commentary tracks, NEW opening sequence storyboard featurette, and a slew of archival bonus materials, while disc two is an extra special director’s bonus disc featuring over 6 hours of Rolfe’s favorite ‘home movies’ – many of them never-been-released – a collection of early films and shorts that he wrote, directed, and produced back in the 1980s, along with newly recorded director’s introductions, audio commentary tracks featuring the director alongside his frequent collaborator, actor and producer Ed Erenberg, on select titles, and more.

“I am delighted to share my childhood with you in these rare early shorts and features I made from the age of 13 (when I got my first video camera) up through college and beyond. Convincing some of my crazy friends to join me, I was able to learn my craft in a series of adventures and misadventures throughout these home movies that eventually resulted in a strange career as an independent filmmaker. Don't judge me too harshly. I was just trying to have some fun and when watching, I hope you do too." - Rolfe Kanefsky
