One of the notorious 1980s video nasties Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker has been lauded as ‘Brilliantly insane’ and a ‘horror gem, well-crafted, ripe for analysis… should not go overlooked’ and now, thanks to Severin Films, you can witness the film like never before. A brand-new Special Edition Dual 4K UHD and Blu-ray is set for its UK release on May 13th and we have a copy to give away to one lucky reader. Just read on and enter below…
In a surprising change of direction, William Asher – veteran of gentle TV delights such as I Love Lucy and Bewitched – directed one of the most joltingly brutal, psychosexual shockers of the ‘80s, the eye-poppingly violent and demented Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker, which can now be experienced for the first time ever in UHD.
This controversial horror stars character actor Susan Tyrrell (Cry-Baby) in ‘a show-stealing performance’ as the insanely brilliant lead Cheryl Roberts, who will stop at nothing to ensure her nephew, high-school student Billy Lynch (Jimmy McNichol – Smoky Bites the Dust), never returns to his parents’ home.
Following a devastating car ‘accident’, Billy is forced to live with his strangely overprotective psychotic aunt, who soon becomes implicated in a grisly murder that sees a police investigation led by an equally unhinged police detective (Bo Svenson – Inglorious Basterds), Julia Duffy (Scream Queens), and Bill Paxton (Aliens), in one of his first film roles, also star in this ‘jaw-dropping hunk of genre insanity’.
The former DPP 39 Video Nasty – also known as Night Warning – has now been scanned in 4K from the negative with hours of new Special Features including new audio commentaries and is presented in a stunning new slipcase.
