Grindhouse Releasing proudly presents the ultimate white-trash double feature! SCUM OF THE EARTH and THE DEATH MOLESTER’S BARN OF BLOOD will screen July 18 at the Revue Cinema in Toronto.
TICKETS: Check out this one-night-only special Grindhouse Releasing double feature at The Revue!
From the late, great Texas filmmaker S.F. Brownrigg (DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT) comes SCUM OF THE EARTH, the backwoods proto-slasher movie classic that became a top-grossing box-office smash in 1976 when it was unleashed upon an unsuspecting public as POOR WHITE TRASH PART II.
A city gal’s romantic weekend at a rustic lakeside cabin in bayou country becomes a nightmare of squalor, depravity, and slaughter with a bloodthirsty maniac on the loose!
When her husband is brutally axe-murdered, Helen (Norma Moore) flees for her life into the swamps where she runs into Odie Pickett (Gene Ross), the mean, moonshine-swilling patriarch to a wretched brood: his pregnant child bride Emmy (Ann Stafford), rebellious daughter Sara (Camilla Carr), and slow-witted son Bo (Charlie Dell).
Taking refuge at the family’s isolated shack, Helen soon finds out how they live below Tobacco Road – and how they die, as the lurking, unseen killer strikes, again and again….
Decades in the making, the restoration of SCUM OF THE EARTH is the unhealthy brainchild of author David Szulkin (LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT: THE MAKING OF A CULT CLASSIC). Award-winning colorist Alastor Arnold (ANORA) revived Brownrigg’s grimy Southern Gothic horror from the rotting film elements under the supervision of Grindhouse Releasing owner Bob Murawski.
In the all-new shocker THE DEATH MOLESTER’S BARN OF BLOOD, two cretinous brothers begin to suspect that their cousin is a prolific necrophile who has been terrorizing graveyards across the state of Maine.
Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Matt Enos, based on characters from his web series “The Slim Duffy Show”, this unrated gorefest features the contributions of composer Mark Fox (THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE: THE SHOCKING TRUTH) and special effects artist Eric Fox (BRING ON THE DAMNED!).
Be warned: Nothing can prepare you for a film this vile!
