Nightmare [1981]

4K UHD/Blu-ray

PRINCIPAL CAST: Baird Stafford, Sharon Smith, C.J. Cooke

DIRECTOR: Romano Scavolini

SYNOPSIS: It’s been called “graphic and unapologetic” (SexGoreMutants), “brutally effective” (Screen Rant) and “a forgotten classic” (Horror News). It remains the most reviled, controversial and misunderstood genre film of the ’80s. Now “the most repulsive, degrading and horrifying movie ever made” (NY Daily News) can be experienced like never before: When a homicidal mental patient (an enduringly disturbing performance by Baird Stafford) flees an experimental drug program, he’ll leave a 5-day trail of psychosexual carnage from the peep shows of 42nd Street to the gore-soaked shores of Florida. Written and directed by Romano Scavolini, this “devastating masterpiece” (Cinefear) – whose UK release as NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN led to the imprisonment of distributor David Hamilton-Grant – has been scanned from the internegative and various foreign print sources to create the most complete version ever assembled and presented for the first time in 4K Ultra High Definition.

DIRECTOR: Frank Henenlotter

Batz (Anthony Sneed) has a monstrous penis with a mind of its own. In a city ruled by pleasure and pain, will two made-for-each-other freaks deliver the ultimate orgasmic horror? Eleonore Hendricks (DADDY LONGLEGS), radio host Rude Jude and director James Glickenhaus (THE EXTERMINATOR) co-star in “one very entertaining seriously batsh*t film” (JoBlo) produced and co-written by underground hip-hop hero R.A.
