Synapse Films, which recently did a bang-up job with their Blu-ray releases of INTRUDER and FRANKENHOOKER, is delving into more 80s madness with THOU SHALT NOT KILL… EXCEPT, a revenge-horror flick starring none other than Sam Raimi as a crazed cult leader! How can you beat that?!
Vietnam, 1969. War is Hell. For Marine Sergeant Jack Stryker (Brian Schulz), however, Hell is just the beginning. Trapped outside a Viet Cong village, Stryker takes two bullets to the leg. Sent home from the war, he discovers his ex-girlfriend (Cheryl Hausen) has been kidnapped by a religious cult with a vicious Manson-like leader (played by THE EVIL DEAD and SPIDER-MAN trilogy director, Sam Raimi). Stryker teams up with his marine buddies to form an assassination squad to annihilate the gang of crazed killers.
Now that sounds like a blast and a half. The Blu-ray/DVD combo release will feature an all-new 2K high-definition transfer from the original negative, as well as the following special features:
• The Original Super 8mm Short film, STRYKER’S WAR, starring Bruce Campbell!
