The newest release from the Bloody Disgusting Selects banner is locked and loaded for DVD release in April. Aliens, toxic air, amnesia, cryogenic slumber, World War 3: Welcome to Hellacious Acres.

Synopsis:
Montreal-based director Pat Tremblay wrote, directed, and played the titular character in this groundbreaking film, which Dread Central called "one of the best reproductions of a post-apocalyptic video game ever made." Tremblay also edited and co-scored the film and created most of the visual effects. The cast of Hellacious Acres also includes Navin Pratap, Jamie Abrams, Paula J. Davis, Laurent Lecompte, and Francis Dubois.

Hellacious Acres portrays John Glass, a man suffering from amnesia who wakes up inside a cryogenic freezer as a robotic voice bombards him with information about World War III, of damages caused by an alien invasion, and of the atmosphere having become toxic and unbreathable. John Glass soon learns that he is a warrior sent on a solo mission of the highest importance: decontaminating the Earth’s ozone, a task he has no idea how to achieve. Equipped with intermittently functional military armor, which he must not take off under any circumstance, he begins the exploration of a strange universe filled with hostile creatures.

The Collective, by way of Vivendi Entertainment, has scheduled Hellacious Acres for an April 3rd DVD and VOD release. No word yet on DVD extras.
