On February 18th 2014 a trilogy of body horror films by cult UK horror director Andrew Parkinson will be unleashed in North America. Recognised as one of the founding fathers of the British horror revival, Philadelphia based distributor MVD has re-mastered each DVD and packed them with behind the scenes footage and commentaries. The trilogy includes Parkinson's uniquely British take on George Romero's living dead saga, I ZOMBIE and DEAD CREATURES as well as his previously unreleased homage to David Cronenberg, VENUS DROWNING which recieved much acclaim at Austin Fantastic Fest.
"I have no doubt that in years to come, Andrew Parkinson's work will be seen as a seminal moment in the history of British horror cinema" said MJ Simpson, author of Urban Terrors: New British Horror Cinema. "This invaluable re-release of his two ground-breaking zombie films and the premiere of his extraordinary third feature is an essential purchase for horror fans."
I ZOMBIE: While on a trip to the countryside, a young man is bitten by a stranger. When he returns to the city, a slow degeneration begins. In order to survive he must eat human flesh. Against his own conscience he embarks on a killing spree, dragging his victims to his living room where he devours them limb by limb.
"One of the very best British horror films of the past 20 years,
a bleak, powerful tale of horror, introspection and social realism". - MJ Simpson
DEAD CREATURES: A group of young women have a terrible, degenerative illness which forces them to murder and feed on human flesh. As they adjust to this carnivorous existence, their only concerns are where to find flesh and how to avoid a zombie hunter.
"A study in contrast between dark, brutal savagery and caring companionship.
A superb example of the burgeoning millenial rebirth of British horror cinema" - MJ Simpson
"Enigmatic, Cronenbergian body horror set in an evocatively desolate British seaside locale.
An extraordinary film, sort of The Brood meets Liquid Sky". - MJ Simpson
