A decade after co-writing NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, writer/director John Russo gathered members of George Romero's Pittsburgh crews to film a new shocker fueled by equal parts grisly grindhouse jolts and '80s satanic panic: Fleeing her pervy alcoholic stepfather (Lawrence Tierney of RESERVOIR DOGS infamy), a hitchhiking teen (Melanie Verlin) is abducted by a family of crazed homicidal rednecks for an ordeal of graphic butchery, shag carpet and devil worship. John Amplas (MARTIN) co-stars in this "greasy, grimy guilty pleasure" (DVD Talk) featuring gore effects by Tom Savini and executive produced by Sam Sherman (DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN) - released in some US markets as BACKWOODS MASSACRE and seized in the UK as a Section 3 'Video Nasty' - now scanned in 4K from the negative of the long-rumored uncut version with all-new Special Features.

Press Quotes

Shocking and depraved... How can you not love a movie that starts with a girl caught in an animal trap getting killed by children who pray to Satan?

     —B&S About Movies

A devious slice of exploitation... An effectively creepy and chilling vibe that exploits our fear of rural folk and satanic cults.

     —McBastard's Mausoleum

This is a surprisingly strong looking transfer for such a lesser remembered cult item, and for those interested in the crew of Night of the Living Dead, it may be of interest. Technical merits are generally solid, and Severin has included some nice supplements

     —Blu-ray.com

Severin has made the film look incredible and I actually thought it looked better than when I saw it on the big screen when it was released. This version is a new 4k scan from the negative of the long rumored uncut version.

     —Digital Views

Overall, Midnight is probably one of the most underrated horror films to come out of the early 80s in my humble opinion. It’s a bleak backwoods horror film from a legend with a fantastic blu release from Severin. I highly recommend snagging this when you can because you will not be disappointed.

     —Blacktooth, Horror Society

Severin Films' Blu-ray offers the film in excellent quality with great extras by Red Shirt Pictures.
