TURKEY SHOOT

Blu-ray debut 9/8/15 

From Severin

The Infamous Ozploitation Splatter Classic

Now Presented Totally Uncut In HD For The First Time Ever!

 Severin Films will release Brian (STUNT ROCK, DEAD END DRIVE-IN) Trenchard-Smith’s outrageous guts and gore, Most Dangerous Game-inspired gem on Blu-ray on 9/8/15. In addition to the brand new HD transfer a slew of exclusive extras, including featurettes, commentary and a wealth of never-before-seen out-takes from the acclaimed Ozploitation doc NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD, will accompany the release. In a totalitarian near future, defiant citizens are labeled ‘deviants’ and sentenced to brutal ‘behavior modification’ camps. But when new prisoners Anders (Steve Railsback of THE STUNT MAN and HELTER SKELTER) and Walters (Olivia Hussey of ROMEO & JULIET and BLACK CHRISTMAS) are chosen as human prey for rich people to hunt, they will be thrust into a nightmare of depravity, dismemberment, cleaved skulls, exploding heads, lesbians with crossbows, the insane hungers of a deformed cannibal circus freak, and more. Michael Craig (THE VAULT OF HORROR), John Ley (BMX BANDITS) and Roger Ward (MAD MAX) co-star in this notorious blood-and-thunder shocker – also known as ESCAPE 2000 and BLOOD CAMP THATCHER – from maverick Ozploitation director Brian Trenchard-Smith and producer Antony I. Ginnane (PATRICK, THIRST), now fully restored in HD from the original vault negative.Full Special Features: NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD Out-Takes (1hr17) featuring:Brian Trenchard SmithAntony I.
