Death of a Snowman comin’ at ya from the depths of African Exploitation flicks

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Y’know ever since I saw a local screening of GONE WITH THE POPE, I have always wondered about the outcome of DEATH OF A SNOWMAN. I remember watching a quick trailer for it and then nada. Well after many years on the backroom shelf it appears that South African Exploitation flick DEATH OF A SNOWMAN is finally hitting DVD shelves from Synapse Films.

This is one for the books, folks. Check out the crazy art down below and then hit up Amazon to get your copy of DEATH OF A SNOWMAN right here! While it looks like your average grindhouse joint, it also feels like the perfect flick to watch around the right group of friends and a case of XX. Fun times ahead!

The true soul of grindhouse shakes and shimmies in this down and dirty tale of master criminals meeting violent death in Johannesburg, South Africa, a city plagued by organized crime. Steve Chaka (Ken Gampu), an ambitious news reporter, learns that these deaths are from the hands of an all-black vigilante group known only as “War on Crime.” Teaming up with Lt. Ben Deel (Nigel Davenport, CHARIOTS OF FIRE, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS) of the local police department, Chaka investigates anonymous tips regarding future ‘hits’ and ends up fighting for his life to uncover the trusth behind the vigilante killings!
 
DEATH OF A SNOWMAN is an action-filled South African grindhouse gem. Exploitation fans will enjoy the outrageous violence, erratic editing, funky disco soundtrack, and jaw-dropping dubbing. Also released as SOUL PATROL and BLACK TRASH.
 
Synapse’s release of DEATH OF A SNOWMAN includes a theatrical trailer and a whole lotta bad-ass!
