BUTCHER BAKER NIGHTMARE MAKER

O-CARD

COVER A

COVER B

“A DEEPLY TWISTED SHOCKER…
You will never, ever, EVER find a psychotic she-monster more blood-chilling than Susan Tyrrell.” – Chris Alexander, ComingSoon

It remains the most joltingly violent, psychosexual grindhouse shocker of the ‘80s, directed by a veteran of I Love Lucy and starring a frequently shirtless former teen idol with an epically demented performance by an Oscar® nominee. And now BUTCHER BAKER NIGHTMARE MAKER can be experienced for the first time ever in UHD: Jimmy McNichol stars as an orphaned high-school student raised by his strangely overprotective aunt (Susan Tyrrell of FAT CITY fame) who becomes implicated in a grisly murder investigated by a psychotic police detective (an equally unhinged Bo Svenson of INGLORIOUS BASTARDS). 7x Emmy® nominee Julia Duffy (Newhart) and Bill Paxton (in one of his first film roles) co-star in this “jaw-dropping hunk of genre insanity” (Pop Culture Beast) and former DPP 39 Video Nasty – also known as NIGHT WARNING – now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 6 hours of new and archival Special Features, including:

THE GREAT ALLIGATOR

O-CARD

COVER A

COVER B

“A GREAT ITALIAN HORROR MOVIE…
People get eaten, the locals get angry and eventually all that’s left is a stack of bodies and buckets of blood.

The final showdown is a work of art.” – Taste of Cinema

Director Sergio Martino (ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) combines a monster reptile with an all-star EuroCult cast for THE GREAT ALLIGATOR, one of the most outrageously entertaining Italian Jungle Carnage movies of them all, now in UHD for the first time ever: At the opening of a tropical resort, a photographer (Claudio Cassinelli of SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD), an anthropologist (Barbara Bach of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME) and an arrogant hotelier (Mel Ferrer of EATEN ALIVE!) are besieged by hostile natives, obnoxious tourists and a gargantuan river beast that intends to devour them all. Romano Puppo (ROBOWAR), Richard Johnson (ZOMBIE) and Silvia Collatina (THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) co-star in this “top ten killer alligator/crocodile movie” (JoBlo), co-written by George Eastman (ANTHROPOPHAGOUS), Cesare Frugoni (SPIDER LABYRINTH) and Ernesto Gastaldi (ALMOST HUMAN), newly scanned in 4K from the original negative.

CATHY'S CURSE

O-CARD

COVER A

COVER B

“UTTERLY BIZARRE AND KIND OF BRILLIANT… 
Operating on a plane of existence far removed from our own, it rewards repeated viewings once you've fallen under its crackpot spell.” – Mondo Digital

It’s been called “chilling and disturbing” (Film Fracture), “an absolute revelation” (Kindertrauma) and “unlike anything you’ve ever seen” (Bloody Disgusting). Now experience The Director’s Cut and American R-Rated Release Version of CATHY’S CURSE in UHD for the first time ever! In 1947, a young girl is roasted alive in a car accident. Thirty years later, her grown brother returns to their childhood home with his mentally unstable wife and sweet daughter Cathy. But when the dead aunt’s vengeful spirit possesses the child, it will unleash an unnerving nightmare of creepy mediums, demonic dolls and plenty of sick ‘70s foul-mouthed moppet mayhem. In an unprecedented source upgrade, both versions are scanned in 4K from the recently discovered negatives with 2+ hours of Special Features.
