Reviews:
” …this is just cool horror entertainment, with suspense, violence, gore, but also hints of macabre humour in all the right places to keep one entertained, rolled into a trio of solid genre stories, neither of which might re-invent the wheel but all of them are good at what they’re doing – and they’re all lined with cool casts including many horror faves.” Search My Trash
Press blurb:
“Three ghoulish tales of horror and suspense. Death Breed, an anthology film in the tradition of Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt, brings these shocking stories to life with a number of legendary horror greats.
‘Wolfsbayne’ is a story of two detectives who find themselves in a series of murders that tie them into the gypsy and werewolf underworld. Featuring cameos by Debbie Rochon, Linnea Quigley, Gunnar Hansen, Lloyd Kaufman, and Reggie Bannister.
‘Shudder’ is a haunting tale of a family cursed by the sins of their forefathers. A maddening spiral of evil that envelopes a family and ultimately, a young girl. Starring Gunnar Hansen, Edwin Neal, Tricia Cast, and Tiffany Shepis.
‘Old Habits Die Hard’ balances horror and dark humour on the edge of a knife. A wholesome clan of cannibals, the Hollis family, runs the town’s only funeral home where people are just dying to get in. Starring Kane Hodder, Jim O’Rear, Stacey Dixon, and Tricia Cast.”
Release date:
In the USA, Bayview Entertainment released Death Breed on DVD and On-Demand on December 14th 2021.
