Description

When a former mafioso's reckless nephew (Matt LeBlanc) gets involved with local gang culture, they're both dragged into an unforgiving urban jungle. THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE Seven years after unleashing his horror classic RETRIBUTION, filmmaker Guy Magar rolled the dice to write, produce and direct the low-budget mob drama he described as "a tribute to Martin Scorsese" and which introduced an unknown Matt LeBlanc only months before landing his breakout role in Friends: Having survived a New York City shootout gone horrifically wrong, a former mafioso (Jay Acovone of Beauty and the Beast and Stargate SG-1) is now living a quiet life working in a Los Angeles used bookstore. But when his reckless nephew (LeBlanc) gets involved with local gang culture, they're both dragged into an unforgiving urban jungle where fear is weakness, vengeance is destiny and family bonds can never be broken. Three-time Grammy-winning soul legend Lou Rawls co-stars - with Denise Richards in one of her earliest film roles - in "Matt LeBlanc's lost movie, featuring the young actor like you've never seen him before" (Inside Edition), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 2 hours of Special Features that include a long-unseen 1993 on-set interview with LeBlanc.

Description

After an emotionally fragile painter miraculously survives a horrific suicide attempt, he discovers he may be possessed by a vengeful spirit. THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE TWO DISC COLLECTION NOW INCLUDES THE UNRATED VERSION SCANNED FROM THE ORIGINAL CAMERA NEGATIVE WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES In 2021, Severin Films was proud to resurrect the "gory, bizarre and intense" (McBastard's Mausoleum) forgotten classic from co-writer/director Guy Magar on Blu-ray. But in 2025, our search of a Los Angeles lab vault led to the discovery of the unclaimed negative for the thought-lost Unrated Version just days prior to its destruction. '80s splatter fans rejoice: Magar's neon and viscera-soaked saga of possession, vengeance and carnage has never looked or sounded more harrowing. Dennis Lipscomb (EYES OF FIRE), Leslie Wing (THE FRIGHTENERS), Suzanne Snyder (WEIRD SCIENCE) and Hoyt Axton (GREMLINS) star in this "relentless squishy joy that makes us angry we've lived this long without having seen it" (Bleeding Skull), now on 2 discs with both the Unrated and Theatrical Versions scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives and over 3 hours of Special Features.
