One of the first releases in the range will be the sleazy and terrifying '
EFFECTS' (1980) - pre-order available from
101 Films direct - £15:00
Release date: January 10
"Part of the American Genre Film Archive range. The initial run comes with Limited Edition 'O-ring' packaging.
Cobbled together with loose change by George Romero's friends, EFFECTS is a mesmerizing D.I.Y. frightmare that no one talks about, but everyone should. A group of coked-up filmmakers -- including Tom "DAWN OF THE DEAD" Savini, Joe "DAY OF THE DEAD" Pilato, and John "TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE" Harrison -- gather in Pittsburgh to make a slasher. As filming begins and "accidents" happen, it's clear that something isn't right. EFFECTS is a meta-enhanced takedown on the philosophy of horror that doubles as a sleazy and terrifying movie on its own."
