Visual Vengeance Releases DESPISER For the First Time on Blu-ray

DESPISER BLU-RAY COLLECTOR’S EDITION COMING THIS OCTOBER

Available October 22nd

After losing his job and his wife, Gordon crashes his car and lands in purgatory, where he’s attacked by fanatics and enslaved souls. He’s soon saved by a quirky band of freedom fighters from different historical eras, all of whom died in noble sacrifice. Reluctantly joining their cause, Gordon embarks on a wild adventure through surreal, hellish landscapes to battle the Despiser, the malevolent ruler of the realm. Facing shifting realities, monstrous creatures, and intense car chases over lava oceans, their journey leads to the ultimate showdown to save all of humanity.

Philips Cook’s eccentric, non-stop menagerie of machine gun battles, early CGI masterwork and endless array of monsters make it one of the most unique direct to video features of the VHS and early DVD era. Cook painstakingly crafts a green screen netherworld steeped in brutal violnce, religious mythology and action movie tropes, all filtered through a dream-like, hallucinogenic lens that never once takes its foot off the gas.

Starring Mark Redfield, Doug Brown, Gage Sheridan, Frank Smith and Michael Weitz.

For the first time ever on Blu-ray, Despiser features hours of new and archival bonus features including audio commentary, deleted scenes, and a making-of.
