Darkly comic STEPHANE and Cult slasher KILLER PARTY - Coming to Disc from Arrow

Underrated horror gems STEPHANE and KILLER PARTY are being released to Disc this August from Arror Video...

STEPHANE

Skilfully blending elements of Mark Duplass’ Creep with 1992’s Man Bites Dog, alongside mis-matched buddy movies such as The Cable Guy, STEPHANE is a darkly comic thriller set in the world of amateur film-making that is as bleakly funny as it is disturbingly twisted.

When Tim (Bastien Garcia), a committed and aspiring filmmaker, encounters the eccentric Stéphane (Lucas Pastor), it seems like a match made in heaven. Stéphane claims to be an experienced SFX supervisor and stuntman who quickly impresses Tim with his home-made pyrotechnics. 

The two men decide to embark on a journey to Stéphane’s private island to film an ambitious World War II epic, along with Stéphane’s acquaintance, a selective mute refugee actress named Bianca (Eva Gregorieff). But as Tim and Stéphane’s movie-making odyssey develops, it soon becomes apparent that neither of them may be what they claim, and tensions quickly escalate.

Part found-footage, part sinister thriller and part self-reflexive black comedy, Stéphane is punk filmmaking at its finest, right up until the final, chilling post-credits scene.

KILLER PARTY 

William Fruet, the director of Canuxploitation classics The House by the Lake, Spasms, and Funeral Home, cordially invites you to a party to die for!

The sisters of Sigma Alpha Pi are throwing an April Fool’s party and they’ve found the perfect place to hold it: the abandoned fraternity house where a pledge once lost his head in a hazing ritual gone horribly wrong. Partying turns to panic when it transpires that the dead pledge had a penchant for occult practices and his evil spirit returns to wreak its revenge.

With a script by Barney Cohen (Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter), and a cast that includes cult icon Paul Bartel (Piranha, Eating Raoul), Killer Party is an underrated slasher classic that deserves a place on the shelves of any 80s horror fan!

In COLD PREY (Fritt Vilt) from director Roar Uthaug (Tomb Raider, Troll) we’re introduced to five friends – Jannicke, her boyfriend Eirik and friends, Mikal, Ingunn and Morten – who head to the mountains of Jotunheimen, for a fun-filled snowboarding trip. But when Tobias falls and breaks his leg, they find themselves cut off with no phone reception and seek refuge in an abandoned building, to wait for help.
