Calum Waddell’s SLICE AND DICE: THE SLASHER FILM FOREVER, a documentary about murder and madmen in the movies, has already made waves overseas and makes its Stateside premiere this weekend. Read on for the info and exclusive word on what to expect on the eventual disc release.

Packed with on-camera interviews with filmmakers including Tobe Hooper (pictured), Tom Holland, Mick Garris, Christopher Smith, Scott Spiegel, Eduardo Sánchez, Patrick Lussier and many others, SLICE AND DICE (which we first covered here) was produced by Waddell and Naomi Holwill (who also shot and edited). Its U.S. premiere takes place this Sunday, December 2 at the Roxie Theatre in San Francisco as part of the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival. “Co-producer Joe Venegas will be there to introduce the screening,” Waddell tells us. “We’re also going to be playing Fantasporto next year, which we’re excited about, and we just won the award for Best Documentary at the annual Horrorfest bash in South Africa.

“We need to stress,” he adds, “that our eventual DVD release, which takes place in the UK on March 11, 2013, will feature different clips from those in the cut currently doing the festival circuit. So if you want to see the ‘director's cut,’ so to speak, you need to catch SLICE AND DICE at one of its big-screen showings.”

And if you do catch it at one of those screenings, Waddell promises that the two-DVD release, from Britain’s 88 Films, will still be well worth a purchase. “It will be a special edition,” he reveals. “The second disc will feature a ton of classic slasher trailers, and the first will include outtakes, including great stuff such as J.S. Cardone discussing his cult classic THE SLAYER in greater detail, an audio commentary I’ve recorded with Naomi and more. We want this to be a really special edition.”

Waddell and Holwill, who comprise High Rising Productions, have another horror documentary in the works as well; more on that one very shortly! See SLICE AND DICE’s trailer (with some not-safe-for-work images and language) below and High Rising’s Facebook page here.
