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