THE NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE WITH OVER 6 HOURS OF NEW SPECIAL FEATURES
From writer/director Murray Markowitz comes the shocking drama inspired by one of Canada's most infamous homicides: When a former model (Elke Sommer of BARON BLOOD) is brutally murdered, her wealthy husband (Donald Pilon of THE UNCANNY) is arrested for the slaying. But the trial that follows will uncover a lurid saga of illicit lovers, escaped serial killers, a scorching performance by Sommer, and enough graphic mayhem to merit its condemnation as a Video Nasty. Chuck Shamata (THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE), Cindy Girling (MEATBALLS) and five-time Canadian heavyweight champion George Chuvalo co-star in this 1978 Canuxploitation rarity - also known as LEFT FOR DEAD and DROP DEAD, DEAREST - featuring the first score by three-time Oscar® winner Howard Shore (THE LORD OF THE RINGS), now scanned in 2K from the National Archive's only known 35mm print.

Press Quotes
Unorthodox and daring... The film's flashbacks contain enough disturbing imagery to earn a ban under the Obscene Publications Act. Elke Sommer sizzles!
—Daily Grindhouse
Canuxploitation ripped from the headlines... Murray Markowitz freely adapts the Peter Demeter murder case of 1974 in one of the odder Video Nasties.
—Little White Lies
Banned as a video nasty in 1984... Viewers are treated to graphic killings, nudity and even a touch of necrophilia.
—Melon Farmers
