[DawnShadow]

A DOUBLE SHOCK of undiluted TERROR and SUSPENSE from maverick Ozploitation auteur TERRY BOURKE.

Umbrella Entertainment invites you to dim the lights and settle in for an unnerving evening of sadistic violence, red raw horror and ample bare flesh with this classic Ozploitation double bill – newly remastered in high definition from the original 35mm vault materials.

NIGHT OF FEAR

In this groundbreaking, homegrown creepfest, a deranged, reclusive hermit (Norman Yemm) delights in dismembering unwary travellers and keeping company with a colony of rats fed on blood.When a young woman (Carla Hoogeveen) crashes into one of the madman’s ghoulish road traps, so begins “an unrelenting avalanche of terror” (The Australian).

INN OF THE DAMNED

On a lonely stretch of road, deep in an isolated rainforest, lies an eerie, forgotten Inn. Few travellers stop there now – and those that do… disappear!Kincaid, an American bounty hunter (Alex Cord), is hired to unravel the Inn’s chilling secrets. He is soon confronted by its demented owners (Judith Anderson and Joseph Furst), obsessed with guarding the nightmarish truth within.

I purchased this recently on Amazon instead of getting the recent Vinegar Syndrome exclusive partner release with Umbrella. It appears that, slipcover/artwork aside, the releases are identical except that the VS partner release has a booklet with writing by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. I am not sure how this compares to the old Code Red double feature DVD, but I plan on giving this a watch this week. In my experience, Umbrella releases tend to be top-notch.

All the new Vinegar Syndrome Umbrella releases are identical to the original Umbrella ones.
