Grindhouse Releasing is proud to present the ultimate late-’60s studio-produced cult film, THE SWIMMER. In his finest performance, Burt Lancaster stars as Ned Merrill, a man who confronts his destiny by swimming home, pool by pool, through the suburban nightmare of upper-class East Coast society.

“A strange, stylized work, a brilliant and disturbing one.                            Burt Lancaster is superb in his finest performance. Four stars.”

– Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Totally engrossing, thanks to its very strangeness, and to the superb    performances and vivid location photography. Five stars.”

– Geoff Andrew, Time Out New York

“Grim, disturbing and sometimes funny…                                                                                       the film has the shape of an open-ended hallucination.”

– Vincent Canby, The New York Times

Grindhouse Releasing is bringing Sam Raimi’s original 1981 horror classic THE EVIL DEAD back to outdoor screens this summer!

We kicked off the release in Maine with a hit screening at the Prides Corner Drive-In. THE EVIL DEAD will invade Florida this week as the movie opens Thursday June 18 at drive-in theaters in Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, and Lake Worth (tickets: FloridaSwapShop.com).

But that’s not all! This Friday, June 19, EVIL DEAD begins a week-long run at the Ford-Wyoming Drive-In (Dearborn, Mich.), the Auto Drive-In (Greenwood, SC), and the Capri Drive-Coldwater, Mich.) on a dynamite double-feature with David E. Durston’s horror classic I DRINK YOUR BLOOD!

On July 10 & 11 the Midway Drive-In (Sterling, Ill.) will host THE EVIL DEAD with star Bruce Campbell in person! The July 11 show will include two more Grindhouse Releasing hits: I DRINK YOUR BLOOD and THE BEYOND!

While quarantined in our underground bunker, the Grindhouse Releasing team is busy working on several new Blu-ray releases.

HOLLYWOOD 90028

Christina Hornisher’s HOLLYWOOD 90028 (a.k.a. TWISTED THROATS and THE HOLLYWOOD HILLSIDE STRANGLER) was transferred in 4K from the original camera negative salvaged from a Hollywood dumpster!  

The HOLLYWOOD 90028 Blu-ray will include an interview with The Strangler himself, Christopher Augustine of Every Mother’s Son and Elephant, esteemed editor Leon Ortiz-Gil (THE NIGHT GALLERY, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, 24), plus more surprise bonus features!

DEATH GAME

Produced with the full cooperation of director Peter S. Traynor and director of photography David Worth, our gorgeous restoration of DEATH GAME presents the movie for the first time in its full Panavision glory. The 4K scan was made from the original camera negative. While our planned theatrical premiere is on hold, we’re now assembling the extra features including Traynor’s final career interview, filmed just weeks before his passing with director Eli Roth, as well as new interviews with star Colleen Camp and producer Larry Spiegel.
