Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise
provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has circled May 30 on its release calendar
as the street date for a special edition presentation of writer/director Anders
Jacobsson’s 1995 gore fest (or feast, as the case may be), Evil Ed.
It arrives as a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack edition (2 blu-ray
discs and a DVD).
Eddie Swenson (Johan Rudebeck) didn’t start out evil. No, movies drove that way … or perhaps it is
the things that reside in his refrigerator. No matter, Ed has gone over the edge and
there is no coming back.
Our
boy Ed is a film cutter — you know, a film editor — who is pretty good at his
job. A pro, so to speak, and that is
exactly what the film studio that he works for needs right at the moment.
It
seems that their “Splatter and Gore” division needs help in editing some the
really nasty stuff out of their Loose Limbs film series for
distribution in some of those overseas markets that are over-sensitive and
prohibit all of that over-the-top gore and violence.
As
he works on cutting these films down to something equivalent to a “PG” rating he
slowly goes insane — yes, gore and
violence will drive you mad! He goes
mad in a BIG way and even the best of insane asylums can’t keep him locked up
long! He’s on a mission and that is to
KILL, KILL, KILL!
Bonus
goodies include two cuts of the film, the original theatrical release and a
newly prepared “Special ED-ition” cut (an additional two minutes worth of
bloody mayhem), a featurette titled “Reconstructing Edward,” deleted
scenes, a blooper reel, a making-of documentary, Keep ’Em Heads Rollin’, and
an epic documentary on the making of Evil Ed that is titled Lost
in Brainland (three hours worth of bloody insights).
