“Slaughter Day” Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Coming This September From Visual Vengeance

Releasing September 13 from Visual Vengeance and Wild Eye Releasing is the 1991 shot on video action horror spectacle SLAUGHTER DAY!

A rarely seen super obscurity of the shot-on-video era, and arguably the most insane and ambitious micro-budget horror action movie ever made! In the rural recesses of Hawaii, a pair of friends must fight an ancient evil force brought to life by an occult book that possesses a group of construction workers, turning them into murderous maniacs. Shot and edited on consumer-grade equipment by twin brothers Brent and Blake Cousins, SLAUGHTER DAY is packed from start to finish with kinetic lo-fi action scenes, gonzo camerawork, and a truckload of homemade gore.
