Elias Matar ASHES Is Now Available On DVD and On Demand

Great news for people that enjoy smartly crafted and beautifully acted post apocalyptic horror movies. Elias Matar's anatomy of an deadly viral outbreak film ASHES is now available from Osiris Entertainment. Back in December I ranked this as the #1 Unreleased Horror Film of the Year and I would bet one million spacebucks its ends up on many 2012 year end best-of lists.





Brian Krause stars as a doctor on the verge of a discovery that could wipe out deadly diseases. When a  young boy is dumped in the emergency room, the doctor uses an untested sample on the child in a last ditch attempt to buy more time to save his life. The unintended consequences of his humanitarian gestures leave the doctor wracked with a sickness that swiftly deteriorates his mind and body. The question isn't can the doctor save himself, but can he stop his contagion from spreading. Matar's film is a tense thriller that takes the rare tact of examining the end of civilization from its inception rather than thrusting its characters into a nightmare scenario.
