WHEN HIS MIND BLOWS, ANYTHING GOES!

A blood-soaked love letter to the splatter films of the ’80s, video rental favourite Evil Ed returns in a brand-new Special EDition featuring an extended cut of the feature and hours of stomach-churning bonus features!

Mild-mannered film technician Edward enjoys his job. That is, until he finds himself transferred from his regular post to the “Splatter and Gore department”, where he’s forced to edit hours upon hours of grisly video nasty footage. Traumatized by the onscreen violence, Ed starts to lose his grip on reality – with ghastly (and bloody) consequences…

Owing a debt to films such as The Evil Dead, Re-animator and the early splatter classics of Peter Jackson, Evil Ed is a veritable smorgasbord of flying limbs, exploding heads, busty babes and creepy creatures!

Hells yeah!!! Imo this is a fun little underrated film! Remember when I first saw this on vhs (unrated version) and was just in awe of how over the top it was. Found the R rated vhs at a goodwill awhile back. This will definitely have a home in my collection!

[reaperx187]

I believe that i have this on DVD somewhere its been so long since i caught it last though might have to get this and upgrade and i don't remember seeing any unrated or uncut version before might have only been R version instead.

[TheOneWithThePrize]

Never thought this would ever see the light of day on BD. This will be mine!

[meremortal]

Always wanted to see this. I remember the vhs cover art as a kid and even had the dvd in my wish list on Hastings. One time it came in stock and as soon as I placed it in my cart someone had beaten me to checkout by a few seconds.

[CM Matty]

This has been on my want list for a while now. I still remember finding the VHS in a random movie store when I went on a family vacation as a kid. Very glad that Arrow snagged this.

[javi92]

Never seen this, but it sounds like a fun time.

[mikey horror]

Why does this site list this as a UK release only?

[Worship.my.wreck]

Lol this movie looks insane. I'm definitely pre-ordering this one also.

[jarrod_inf]

Never seen this and just watched the trailer. Is it me or is that cheap 90's soap opera look off putting? I'll have to watch before I think about this.

Looks pretty typical of straight-to-video horror films of the time. I'm in for a blind buy.

[Fairfax]

Looks trashy as anything, so I'm in, obviously.

[FarewelltotheFlesh]

One of my all time favourite horror/comedy films. Bought the mediabook version but will also be picking up Arrow's release. Looks stacked and I have a feeling it will best the previous release all around.

I have the Mediabook also, but this Arrow release will blow that away. Just the bonus features on the Arrow have me salivating.

So this will be the 5th time now that I've bought the film since VHS...and hopefully the last for a long time!

[1234567?]

Honestly was surprised Arrow picked this up. I was about to buy the mediabook myself. Great little film. Glad this is coming.

[Ruined]

Anyone seen screencaps of this yet?

I have the mediabook and was going to sell it but I am a bit concerned now given all the framing errors Arrow has been making lately.

I heard the framing so bad that the left 3/4 is just black and only the right 1/4 of the screen is the film. So we're clearly missing a lot of it.

Probably a good idea to keep that mediabook.

[NoirFan]

My God. Two years on the ignore list and I still can't escape the guy!

Perfectly valid question to ask when the release is limited, may sell out before street date, has an extra cut the regular version may not, and label producing it recently largely misframed 5+ movies.

Nothing wrong at all with discussing the likelihood of this potentially being another problematic title and weighing that chance against preordering the title / selling my existing (expensive) mediabook before it drops further in value.

[GasmaskAvenger]

Evil Ed is not a Lakeshore title, so it probably won't suffer from framing issues.
