A freshly-out-of-the-grave band of Hard Rock Zombies is thirsting to take their sweet revenge, as they give the performance of a lifetime.

YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD BAND DOWN!

Hard rock zombies is an outlandish thriller that melds the rock beat and stunning visuals of the likes of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” with the campy horror/comedy of such cult classics as “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Bloodsucking Freaks”.

‘Holy Moses’ is a hot young rock band on the cusp of stardom. They journey to a secluded Northern California hamlet to perform what is touted as the gig that will propel them to stardom. Instead, it’s the beginning of a remarkably macabre adventure.

The band is taken captive by a strange family. The band members are subjected to unimaginable horrors before being brutally slaughtered.

But the fun begins when they are resurrected and become the HARD ROCK ZOMBIES. They’re set to give their greatest performance as they rock ‘n’ roll their way to vengeance in an all-out attack on the crazed clan.

STARRING: E.J. Curcio, Geno Andrews, Jennifer Coe, Lisa Toothman

Hard Rock Zombies / Slaughterhouse Rock (Blu-ray Set) Available April 26

With the explosion of heavy metal and new wave music in the mid 1980s, it was inevitable that horror filmmakers would seize the opportunity to combine these popular musical stylings with blood and mayhem. While numerous such tie-ins were produced, none were as freaked out and gore soaked as this foot stomping duo, presented fully uncensored and newly restored on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome!

A heavy metal band has been invited to appear in a conservative small town. What they don’t know is that their hosts are in fact a family of horrific and murderous mutants, whose patriarch is none other than Hitler! After being swiftly murdered, Cassie, the only non-violent member of this depraved clan, wills the band back to life. Soon the stuffy townspeople are faced with an unwelcome reckoning as the zombified musicians thrash and maim their way through the community, in the name of grisly revenge…and love!

Without a doubt one of the most original zombie films in the history of the genre, Krishna Shah’s Hard Rock Zombies is a dazzling blend of horror film and musical, filtered through experimental and arthouse cinema sensibilities. Jam packed with outrageous song and dance sequences juxtaposed with over-the-top violence and ludicrous plot twists, Hard Rock Zombies comes to Blu-ray for the first time ever, in its completely uncut composite version, sourced from the only known 35mm film elements with video inserts.

Alex, a college student, is being plagued by strange dreams in which a grotesque man commits heinous acts of torture and murder. With the help of his friends, Alex discovers that he has an unexplained telepathic link to a notorious killer who once lived on Alcatraz Island and whose bloodlust extends beyond the grave. When his supernatural experiences begin taking on real life manifestations, Alex and his friends sneak into the abandoned prison to put an end to their reign of terror, only to unwittingly walk into a bloodbath…

Dispensing with any sense of narrative logic, Dimitri Logothetis’ Slaughterhouse Rock gleefully combines tracks from new wave musical sensations, DEVO, with plentiful gut-busting gore, and touches of humor, all set in the spooky, fog filled environs of the infamous Alcatraz Prison. This thrill filled neon-nightmare hits Blu-ray from a brand new 4K restoration of its original 35mm camera negative, with its oft censored gore fully restored.

STARRING: Toni Basil, Nicholas Celozzi, Tammy Hyler, E.J. Curse
