Nightmares in a Damaged Brain

£16.99

Released: 26th February 2024. It's been called "graphic and unapologetic" (SexGoreMutants), "brutally effective" (Screen Rant) and "a forgotten classic" (Horror News). It remains the most reviled, controversial, and misunderstood genre film of the '80s. Now "the most repulsive, degrading and horrifying movie ever made" (NY Daily News) can be experienced like never before: When a homicidal mental patient (an enduringly disturbing performance by Baird Stafford) flees an experimental drug program, he'll leave a 5-day trail of psychosexual carnage from the peep shows of 42nd Street to the gore-soaked shores of Florida. Written and directed by Romano Scavolini, this "devastating masterpiece" (Cinefear) - whose UK release as NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN led to the imprisonment of distributor David Hamilton-Grant - has been scanned from the internegative and various foreign print sources to create the most complete version ever assembled.
