Launched by Ray Murray, founder of TLA Releasing and Artsploitation Films, Cinephobia Releasing is dedicated to presenting the most eye-opening genre and LGBTQ+ movies from around the world. The label is admittedly schizophrenic: offering both controversial, often sexually provocative dramas, edgy thrillers and uncompromising horror while also showcasing some of the best LGBTQ+ romances and dramas. Expect the unexpected.
In 1976, a group of people in the desert for a photo shoot stumble upon an abandoned town called Savage. But they are not alone. A family of masked psychopaths have claimed Savage as their own and are hell-bent on living up to its name.

Reviews
This ain’t your grandaddy’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
"For my full detailed review of Brute 1976, see my entry on Letterboxd: @M4N14K No Leatherface? No deal! I viewed this film on the Brute 1976 Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray Limited Edition physical media release and it is the same great premium level of packaging and presentation that you’ve come to expect from the generic releases of this boutique label. No other brand beats Vinegar Syndrome at the cardboard game and this great slipcover is no exception to the consistently fantastic artwork and component quality this company produces."

In case you forget when this movie is set, the year is part of its name
"Director Marcel Watz has put together a great tribute to the better slashers of the 70s. It’s somewhat in the vein of “The Hills Have Eyes” but with better kills, one in particularly. It has a great look to it and they also found a great location, which really serves the movie well. My only gripes is that they could have found a slightly younger looking cast and the reason why the “inbred” family has gathered together seemed a little forced to me. All, in all I definitely recommend this movie. It has a very interesting commentary and some interesting interviews. The slipcover is great. And the inner case has different art which I also like!"
— Scott K. (5/5)
Awesome!!!
