Coming in Sept...

A decade after co-writing NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, writer/director John Russo gathered members of George Romero's Pittsburgh crews to film a new shocker fueled by equal parts grisly grindhouse jolts and '80s satanic panic: Fleeing her pervy alcoholic stepfather (Lawrence Tierney of RESERVOIR DOGS infamy), a hitchhiking teen (Melanie Verlin) is abducted by a family of crazed homicidal rednecks for an ordeal of graphic butchery, shag carpet and devil worship. John Amplas (MARTIN) co-stars in this “greasy, grimy guilty pleasure” (DVD Talk) featuring gore effects by Tom Savini and executive produced by Sam Sherman (DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN) - released in some US markets as BACKWOODS MASSACRE and seized in the UK as a Section 3 'Video Nasty' - now scanned in 4K from the negative of the long-rumored uncut version with all-new Special Features.

I like this movie for some reason. Very excited that it's finally getting an uncut release. I used to have the UK pre cert VHS which was cut even more than the current cut version.

I have the bootleg of this somewhere so it's great to see it get legit release. I'll be purchasing the DVD to see it for some Romero-esque nostalgia as much as anything else. Always good to see John Amplas, too.
