Though beloved by slasher fanatics, Buddy Cooper’s 1985 gem The Mutilator has never gotten all that much home video love, often coming our way in such poor quality that it’s been hard to even watch. Thankfully, Arrow Video is bringing the film to Blu-ray this year, and we’ve got all the details for ya today!
The exciting news comes courtesy of Arrow Video’s Facebook page, where the distribution company revealed that The Mutilator will be hitting Blu-ray on September 28th in the UK, and September 29th in the US. Both discs will be region free.
Originally entitled Fall Break, The Mutilator has earned a reputation amongst horror fans as one of the ‘holy grails’ of 80s splatter mayhem due to its highly inventive kill sequences, courtesy of FX wizard Mark Shostrom (Videodrome, Evil Dead II). Finally making its long-awaited bow in High-Definition, The Mutilator has returned to terrorize a whole new generation of horror fans.
Synopsis:
When Ed receives a message from his father asking him to go and lock up the family’s beach condo for the winter, it seems like the perfect excuse for an alcohol-fuelled few days away with his friends. After all, his dad has forgiven him for accidentally blowing mom away with a shotgun several years ago… hasn’t he? But no sooner are the teens on the island than they find themselves stalked by a figure with an axe (and a hook, and an onboard motor) to grind…
