Camp Retro '80s
“Big Box†VHS / DVD 5-Film Collection
Available Sept. 13, 2011
New York, NY - Camp Motion Pictures, the home entertainment company specializing in 80's and 80's-style DIY cinema, unleashes a terrifyingly cool micro-budget cinema collection of five feature films in an exclusive VHS Collector's Package that Joe Ziemba of BleedingSkull.com calls “A brain-baking vortex of D.I.Y. gore, suburban angst, and trash-gore exuberance!â€
.
Eye-catching authentically '80s VHS poster illustration by noted graphic artist Vince Evans and “Big Box†design contains the never-before-released 1989 feature, The Basement, on VHS and DVD along with SOV cult cinema favorites Video Violence 1&2, Captives, and Cannibal Campout on DVD.
About The Basement
The Basement is the lost 1989 Super 8 anthology feature film directed by Timothy O'Rawe (Ghoul School). Restored by director of photography Michael Raso in 2010, The Basement is a shining example of 80's DIY cinema inspired by Amicus Films' Tales from the Crypt and features elaborate special make-up and creature effects by Scott Hart.
The Basement Synopsis.
Four strangers are summoned to the basement of an abandoned house by a mysterious entity known only as The Sentinel. One after another, they are forced to witness heinous deeds they have yet to commit - and which will damn them for all eternity.
Swimming Pool - An unfaithful woman disposes of the evidence with a little help from a demonic water spirit.
Trick or Treat - Classic monsters exact revenge on a bitter man who refuses to honor Halloween.
Zombie Movie - Cocaine, hookers and reanimated corpses wreak havoc on the set of an independent film.
Home Sweet Home - A young man questions his sanity after purchasing a house where torture and mass murder were committed 6 years before.
About Captives

Captives Synopsis
Taken hostage by three violently deranged criminals, a woman fights back to save her baby and mother-in-law's lives in this gritty and suspenseful crime drama from Gary Cohen (Video Violence 1&2)
