Dark Force Entertainment's 4K Restoration Of Director David DeFalco's THe Backlot Murders On Blu-ray On Apr. 28

Dark Force Entertainment, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has new 4K film restoration (from the original camera negative) of director David DeFalco’s 2002 slasher thriller, The Backlot Murders, ready for a Blu-ray launch on Apr. 28.

The Wiseguys are a would-be rock band with a penchant for mayhem.   Indeed, that bad boy behavior actually caused a major rift in the makeup of the group, so now that things have calmed down they have decided that a new music video is just what they need to get The Wiseguys back on track.  

Simple enough, a sort of everyday thing … good promotion, up their visibility and the money will come rolling in.   And besides, The Wiseguys have a lot of hot chicks hanging around … it’s sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, baby.  So let’s get that video shot and on TV!!

Through some connections, they get access to the back lot of Universal Studios, where they plan to use the old Psycho house and other classic Universal horror sets as a backdrop for their big production.   Of course genre fans will recognize this set up, complete with a rock band and a bevvy of sexy babes — which includes such beauties as Shayla (Angela Little  — Rush Hour 2, American Pie Presents: Band Camp), Nikki (Nancy O’Brien — Web of Seduction), Janey (Jaime Anstead — The Ritual, Death Train), Gina (Heather Tindell), Wendy (LoriDawn Messuri — Malibu Nights) and Chelsea (Carrie Stevens — Cruel Game, Head Games) — as the victim pool.   

Without giving too much away (hint: the title of the film is a “dead” giveaway), all of the aforementioned young ladies will definitely not make it into the “final girl” circle.   Not a single one.

So, it is your job to both enjoy the bloodbath and guess who the killer is  — who wears an Elvis mask — who enjoys putting holes in Shayla, Chelsea, Gina and the rest of the band groupies.    

Is it the band’s manager, Stephanie (Priscilla Barnes — perhaps best known as Terri in Three’s Company and Magda in Jane the Virgin), the music video director, Henry (Charles Fleischer — as the voice of Roger Rabbit, plus such films as Back to the Future Part II, Straight Talk, etc.), or, maybe Tony (none other than Corey Haim) … he seems strange enough to be a psycho killer on the set of Psycho!!

Bonus features include commentary from writer/director David DeFalco and series of behind-the-scenes interviews with cast members Brian Gaskill, Carrie Stevens and Charles Fleischer.
