It’s been a long swim to North American shores for the Aussie horror flick NEEDLE – we haven’t written about since January – but the thriller is finally ready to torture us where we live when it comes to DVD in November.

The rundown:
College student Ben Rutherford (Michael Dorman) inherits a strange machine with supernatural powers from his deceased father. When the device goes missing, Ben’s friends turn up dead – all having been killed in bizarre ways. With the help of his estranged brother, Marcus (Travis Fimmel), the two discover that the machine was built for revenge, and is seeking retribution for their father’s sins.

NEEDLE won accolades at the British Horror Film Festival (2010), including Best Cinematography, Best Special Effects and Best Supporting Actress for Jessica Marais. The DVD comes armed with a making-of featurette, and that’s all. (Well, it also has a box that all but forces you to believe it’s a long-lost HELLRAISER sequel.)

Check out the persuasive trailer below. NEEDLE stabs you on NOVEMBER 29th; pre-order it right HERE.
