Fear the Reapers Duo Slipcase [with Anthropophagous & Absurd] [4K UHD] [US]

Love of two is one: This rigid duo slipcase with luxurious silver ink and red foil is the ONLY way to preserve and display Joe D’Amato & George Eastman’s pair of ItaloSplatter classics. 

Absurd

If you thought our 2018 Blu-ray was “batsh*t insane fun” (McBastard’s Mausoleum), get ready to experience splatter maestro Joe D’Amato’s “top-notch gruesome” (Morbidly Beautiful) follow-up to ANTHROPOPHAGOUS in UHD for the first time ever in North America: Borrowing heavily from HALLOWEEN, D’Amato unleashes a gut-spewing boogeyman (screenwriter Luigi Montefiori/George Eastman) into suburban America for an “incredibly vicious and unforgiving” (A Slash Above) saga of doomed nurses, butchered babysitters, bio-chemical clergy and some of the most insane splatter scenes in Italian exploitation history. Edmund Purdom (JULIUS CAESAR, PIECES) and Annie Belle (HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK) co-star in this “‘50s creature feature with ‘80s gore” (The Spinning Image) – also known as ANTHROPOPHAGOUS 2, ZOMBIE 6, HORRIBLE and MONSTER HUNTER – in both its English and Italian Versions, scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include a new archival interview with D’Amato.

Anthropophagous 

Those with intestinal fortitude know it’s “truly jaw-dropping” (Bloody Disgusting), “surprisingly thrilling” (Confluence of Cult) and “a must-see gut-muncher” (DVD Talk). It was condemned as a Video Nasty and accused of being an actual snuff film. Yet even by ‘80s Italian gore-spewing standards, this grueling shocker from sleaze maestro Joe D’Amato (BEYOND THE DARKNESS, EMANUELLE IN AMERICA) still stands as perhaps the most controversial – and extreme – spaghetti splatter epic of them all, now in UHD for the first time ever in North America. Tisa Farrow (ZOMBIE), Zora Kerova (CANNIBAL FEROX) and co-writer/producer George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori (THE GREAT ALLIGATOR, ABSURD) star in this depraved daddy of cannibal carnage from “Italy’s King of Trash Sinema” (Horrorpedia) in both its original theatrical and extended Italian version – which incorporates a never-before-seen sequence obtained through Rome underworld contacts – plus the U.S. theatrical cut THE GRIM REAPER, all scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include a new archival interview with D’Amato.
