Jim Mickle’s gripping noir thriller COLD IN JULY will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and On Demand from 20^th October 2014 – and to celebrate we have 3 DVDs to give away!

Set in Texas in the late 1980s, COLD IN JULY features a distinguished cast including Don Johnson, Sam Shepard, and Michael C. Hall in his breakout film role.

How can a split-second decision change your life? While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane puts a bullet in the brain of low-life burglar Freddy Russell. Although he’s hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family’s safety when Freddy’s ex-con father, Ben, rolls into town, hell-bent on revenge.

Michael C. Hall brings a shell-shocked vulnerability to his portrayal of Dane that contrasts perfectly with the grizzled badasses portrayed by Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Directed with an excellent eye for the visual poetry of noir, this pulpy, southern-fried mystery is a throwback to an older breed of action film, one where every punch and shotgun blast opens up both physical and spiritual wounds.

Twists and turns accelerate as the film reaches its inevitable destination: a gore-soaked dead end. COLD IN JULY is as muggy, oppressive, and hard to shake as an east Texas summer.

COLD IN JULY will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and On Demand 20^th October 2014.

I had a huge crush on Don Johnson back when he was young and handsome. I’ve had tons of botox since then and Donny has certainly not aged as well as me. I could watch the dvd and snigger. Oops, no I couldn’t as my face doesn’t move any more.
