BLOODLETTING - Restored Blu-ray 1997 serial killers in love thriller gory sexy
Screenwriter, musician, actor, no-budget visual effects guru: Throughout the ‘90s, Matthew Jason Walsh pretty much did it all during a long tenure with producer J.R. Bookwalter (“The Dead Next Door”), including the ill-fated directorial debut “The Witching” in 1993. Several years later, Walsh finally came into his own with “Bloodletting,” expanding an earlier short made with future “Polymorph” stars James L. Edwards and Ariauna Albright into a feature-length parody of modern romantic relationships. Serena Stalin wanted to learn from the best. So she tracked down Butch Harlow, one of the world’s most notorious serial killers, and blackmailed him into teaching her the fine art of murder. Now, as the lessons begin, teacher and bloodthirsty student unleash an unspeakable passion that forces them to kill over and over again, leaving a trail of horribly mutilated victims in their wake... Painstakingly rebuilt & restored from archival Mini-DV videotape camera masters and packed with revealing behind-the-scenes bonus material, Tempe Digital carves up infamous SOV slasher “Bloodletting” on Blu-ray!BLU-RAY MOD SPECIAL FEATURES:2021 Restored Feature in 4:3 Original Aspect Ratio (1.33:1)DTS HD-MA 5.1 Surround Remix2022 Audio Commentary with star James L.
