New on Blu-ray: DEAD NORTH (1991) - Shot-on-Video Horror

Product Description: When three couples escape to the woods together for a weekend camping trip, their idyllic vacation quickly becomes a desperate struggle for survival when a deranged, axe-wielding psychopath begins murdering them one by one. An impossible web of marital infidelities leads to a meandering mosaic of endless red herrings, deranged Nam vets, bitter office rivalries, perilous punji pits, and puffy brown plaid couches.

In the tradition of Blood Cult, Dead North is a hypnotic, SOV soap opera / slasher epic and an early, non-custom passion project from director Gary Whitson and his New Jersey based company W.A.V.E. Productions. Starring Clancy McCauley (Witchfinder), Aven Warren (Zombie Nightmare), and Terri Lewandowski (Santa Claws), Dead North continues to stupefy underground movie fans with its beguiling blend of head-scratching whodunnit, homespun gore FX, and charming regional eccentricities.
