Skinned Deep (2004) Available July 20

4 Evil Eyes

His mind-blowing work as an FX artist has included everything from Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage and Frankenhooker to Matthew Barney’s Cremaster Cycle. And for his 2004 debut as writer/producer/director, Gabe Bartalos created this demented gift from the B-Movie Gods (Bloody Good Horror) about a rural clan of psychotic freaks, the killing spree that takes us places and shows us things we’ve never seen before (Dread Central) and the final girl that may be their depraved undoing. Warwick Davis (Leprechaun) and Jason Dugre (Saint Bernard) star – with an appearance by fandom legend Forrest J. Ackerman – in this brutal, bloody forgotten masterpiece (Morbidly Beautiful) featuring music by Captain Sensible of The Damned, now scanned uncut in 2K from the original negative for the first time ever.

STARRING: Les Pollack, Aaron Sims, Kurt Carley

From co-directors Paul Donovan and Maura O’Connell (DEFCON-4) comes one of the most disturbing – and rarely-seen – Canadian shockers of the ’80s, inspired by the actual 42-day Halifax police strike: When a local group of right-wing vigilantes massacres the patrons of a gay bar, the sole survivor seeks refuge in a nearby apartment building whose residents must now defend themselves in a night of hate, terror and bloodshed. Doug Lennox (Breaking Point), Tom Nardini (Cat Ballou), Jack Blum (Happy Birthday To Me) and Keith Knight (My Bloody Valentine) star in this dark and intense thriller, still uncomfortably relevant 35 years after it was made (Blog Of Horror) – released in the U.S. as Self Defense – scanned in 2K from the original negative recently discovered in a Nova Scotia archive.

STARRING: Tom Nardini, Brenda Bazinet, Daryl Haney
