LOST ‘ROUGHIE’ FOUND!
SEVERIN ELECTRIFIES PHYSICAL MEDIA WITH WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE OF FROST/BISHOP’S THE PICK-UP AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW
Exclusive Webstore Bonus Disc Includes Long-Out-Of-Print Documentary MAU MAU SEX SEX
Though their collaborations included such exploitation classics as HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN, LOVE CAMP 7, THE THING WITH TWO HEADS and RACE WITH THE DEVIL, this 1969 crime shocker from writer/director/cinematographer Lee Frost and co-writer/producer/star Wes Bishop was thought lost for decades. But with the recent discovery of its original camera negative in a Paris vault, it can now be seen restored and uncut for the first time ever: When two bagmen for the L.A. syndicate are robbed of $1 million in Las Vegas mob money by a seductive pair of con artists, it’ll trigger a desperate frenzy of carnal violence and brutal vengeance. Lynn Harris (THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF ZORRO), legendary producer Bob Cresse (HOT SPUR, THE SCAVENGERS), sexploitation icon David F. Friedman and mysteriously disappeared folk singer Jim Sullivan co-star in this extreme ‘roughie’ newly scanned in 4K, with a Webstore Only Bonus Disc featuring the “fascinating” (Austin Chronicle) and long-out-of-print 2001 documentary MAU MAU SEX SEX starring Friedman and fellow exploitation legend Dan Sonney, plus filmmaker/historian Frank Henenlotter, Something Weird co-founder Mike Vraney and more.
