VCI Entertainment's 2K Restoration Of Director Steve Barkett's The Aftermath Arrives As A Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack On Nov. 21

VCI Entertainment has Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack featuring a new 2K transfer ready on Nov. 21 of writer/director Steve Barkett’s 1982 post-apocalyptic sci-fi tale, The Aftermath. 

In Planet of the Apes, Charlton Heston and his fellow astronauts returned to a future earth ravaged by nuclear war only to discover that man had been replaced by apes as the dominant specie.   In Barkett’s The Aftermath, it is the earth of the here and now as astronauts Newman (played by Barkett) and Matthews (Larry Latham) return from an extended stay in space to discover that Los Angeles is in ruins … the result of a nuclear war!   

No apes this time, but something perhaps even more sinister dominates the post-apocalyptic landscape, a mutant gang of bikers lead by the vicious “Cutter” (played by none other than Sig Haig).   The apes had a logic to them, but Cutter is simply a killer, who takes women for his gang’s own personal use … all others are murdered.

The two astronauts must make a decision, hide, evade and run … or stand and fight.   But, when the lovely Sarah (Lynne Margulies) is rescued by Newman, it becomes clear that confronting Cutter and his mutant savages for the supremacy of Los Angeles — and the future of mankind — is the only real choice they have.

Bonus features include commentary from Steve Barkett.
