Guess we knew this was coming... Variety reports that after announcing several release dates for each, Dimension has decided to send Jaume Balagueró's DARKNESS and Renny Harlin's MINDHUNTERS direct to video. The studio acquired both movies ages ago and most recently had slated them for June 18 and June 4 of this year, respectively, but now has apparently lost faith in their theatrical potential. The trade is referring to Balagueró's film under its original title, though as we reported here, it will play at LA's Screamfest in October under the title THE DARK. For now, there are only two genre films confirmed (or as confirmed as it gets for Dimension) on its theatrical slate, both of which have also been much-delayed: Wes Craven's CURSED (February 25, 2005) and Terry Gilliam's THE BROTHERS GRIMM (November 23, 2005). Still no word on when the likes of Balagueró's THE NAMELESS, Brian Gilbert's THE GATHERING, Vincenzo Natali's CYPHER etc. will escape from Dimension's overcrowded shelf. —Michael Gingold

yoy SSSSUCK DIMENSION! Been delayed since April 2003. Another reason why Dimension/Miramax suck, they can't market almost none of their movies.
