Ogre stars Ginger Snaps‘ Katharine Isabelle as one of a small group of twenty-something’s investigating an old legend of a lost town who happen upon the town that turns out to be lost in a time warp. It’s also cursed by an ogre that emerges every winter solstice to collect its sacrifice. John Schneider, of all people, is the resident power-hungry warlock looking to sacrifice these interlopers from modern times. Final Destination 3‘s Chelan Simmons is the good daughter looking to save them from an ogre-munching death and break the town’s curse in the progress.
As I stated in my review of Ogre, that ogre is the true star of the film, a hysterical-looking video game boss monster with a pot belly and bitch tits that I described best as Vince McMahon’s ideal version of Shrek.
First Look Entertainment will release Ogre to DVD next year on March 13th in both a rated and unrated version. I know the version I watched on the Sci-Fi Channel had its fair share of gory death scenes but it didn’t strike me as a film that would ever warrant an unrated edition. No extras have been announced.
