Programmer's Pick

This is Bill Zebub doing what he does best: pushing exploitation horror to its uncomfortable limits. If you're looking for a film that blends home invasion tension with unapologetic grindhouse sleaze, this is an unvarnished specimen. Definitely not for the faint of heart—or the easily scandalized.
