The Mutilation Man Returns to VHS in Stark Raving RED

The Mutilation Man Returns to VHS in Stark Raving RED

We have to talk about a release about to hit your VCR in full on blood red VHS.  ANDREW COPP’S THEMUTILATION MAN!!! Haven’t seen it? Me neither, but it’s got some kick ass packaging that demands you give it a try. It’s  a limited release which means if nothing else you’ll be the only one on your street that owns a copy of something this rad.

I want to assure you that if you have a horror bone in your body that after you watch this trailer you’re going to absolutely mandate the purchase of this film. Exhibit A: Bloody Entrails. Exhibit B: Scantily Clad Bondage Babes Exhibit C:  JESUS!!!

 For me, this edition brings back memories of my mom and pop video store that would carry everything you’re geek heart would desire. In this instance I’m getting the feeling of the German classic Blood Moon and Violent Shit. While it is questionable whether hose are tall shoulders to live up to, one thing is undeniable, I rented those movies because the packaging was fantastic and that’s half the battle. Coppfilms has some great info on their other works  as well as some an art gallery and some rather arousing photographic work.  It’s why you love independent cinema, right? I assure you when I see it you’ll be the first to know.

This new edition features a previously unseen longer edit of the film, that includes 10 minutes of footage with slightly better visual quality than the older out of print DVD editions. The Collectors Edition VHS Tape comes in a RED Clamshell case on an actual blood RED VHS tape. The cover art comes in Two different designs created by reknowned underground filmmaker Andrew Shearer, each sold seperately, with only 50 pieces available of each design for a total of 100 pieces.  Extras on the tape include a previously unseen short film, trailers for other Andrew Copp films and a fun negative You Tube review for the film.

ANDREW COPP’S THE MUTILATION MAN came out in 1998 during the tail end of what can be considered the last wave of the 90′s underground film movement. The film starred Terek Puckett (from MY SWEET SATAN) as a wandering performannce artist in a burned out wasteland who does shows of self mutilation to relive his miserable past of horrible child abuse. In flashbacks we see this abuse metted out by his drunken and psychotic Father in a terrifying performance by underground filmmaker Jim VanBebber. The film approaches the subject matter in an obsessive, surreal manner that is comparable to the films of panic movement favorites like Alejandro Jodorowsky and Fernando Arrabal melded to the Italian gut slingers of the 80′s.

Andrew Copp’s The Mutilation Man drags you, naked, over broken glass…The Mutilation Man is as hard to watch as it is impossible to look away.” Yet that same year on the IMDB the film made the bottom ten as the worst films of the year. With many casual viewers finding the film difficult, disturbing and just too much for them to stomach.

Due to the film being edited analogue and shot on a variety of film formats that were transferred to video for offline editing the movie will probably never see a remastered HD presentation.

This collectors edition may represent the last time the movie will be available to the public. So get them while they are still available, these tapes are already selling fast!
Price  $23 post paid in the United States. 

Overseas please add $5 more to cover extra shipping.

Dr. Jimmy Terror, more commonly known as James P. Harris, has been “writing your eyes” shut since 2010 with his horror themed blog Dr. Terror’s Blog of Horrors (whose name is a play on words derived from the Amicus film, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors). In the early 2000’s he fronted the band The Vaudeville Vampires, a short-lived Horrorabilly band which saw the creation of a catalog of horror related songs before disbanding (with only one, six song demo ever being produced and distributed). He has had only one on screen appearance to date in the horror/suspense short, Ocean Parkway, as maniacal, gloved killer with a hair fetish. Having done some un-credited, behind the scenes work in some low budget genre pictures, he is currently working on his first foray into screenwriting with a demonic, retro gore entry that pays homage to Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento as well as other Italian masters of the genre.
