Dennis Lipscomb (Retribution), Guy Boyd (Body Double) and Kerry Sherman (Satan’s Cheerleaders) star in this ”extraordinary horror fantasy” (The Psychotronic Video Guide) restored in 4K from the original negative with more than 2½ hours of Special Features that include the answer print of Crounse’s original cut, Crying Blue Sky.

4 Evil Eyes

THEY SHALL HAVE MURDER WHEREVER THEY GO…

For his feature film debut, director Peter Maris (Ministry Of Vengeance, Diplomatic Immunity) took portions of an unfinished urban conspiracy thriller and added a new psycho-killer procedural to create what may be the most unusual/vicious proto-slasher shocker of the ‘70s: When a series of savage murders rocks St. Louis, the police investigation will lead to a deranged Vietnam vet ”who looks like a cracked-out Seth McFarlane” (HorrorNews.net), an underground organization of white-collar vigilantes, gratuitous nudity, graphic violence and an absolute masterclass in low-budget regional filmmaking. One of the very first Section 2 Video Nasties, this longtime VHS rarity – also known as Psycho Puppet – is now presented on disc for the first time ever, restored from the only known 35mm print in existence.

STARRING: Turk Cekovsky, Debi Chaney, Terry TenBroek

The Deeper You Dig (2019) (Standard Special Edition) Available January 25

4 Evil Eyes

Themes of family, loss and survival intersect on the thin line that separates the living from the dead in The Deeper You Dig, the latest feature written, directed by and starring filmmaking family the Adams Family (Knuckle Jack, Rumblestrips) – described as “a force to be reckoned with” (Dread Central) and “the multi-hyphenates other multi-hyphenates hope to be when they grow up” (Nightmare on Film Street).

Bogus tarot card reader Ivy (Toby Poser) and her teenage daughter Echo (Zelda Adams) are an unconventional but loving mother/daughter team. But when reclusive Kurt (John Adams) moves in down the road, a tragic accident results in Echo’s murder, causing three lives to collide in mysterious and wicked ways. Kurt believes he can hide his secret beneath the earth – but Echo, refusing to accept death, burrows into his head until he can feel her in his bones. As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond, Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won’t stay buried.

A dark, unsettling meditation on grief, survival and the brittle barrier that separates the living from the dead, The Deeper You Dig is a compelling and original entry in the canon of American independent horror.
