Indebted to David Lynch's ERASERHEAD, Ed Wood's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, and Frank Henenlotter's BRAIN DAMAGE, DISEMBODIED is a cinematic acid trip that blurs the line between horror and experimental art. The story follows Connie Sproutz, a gothed-out scientist who checks into the decrepit Grand Hotel to continue her experiments . . . and turn people into slime before eating them. Shot in Reno by director Willam Kersten on gritty 16mm film, this D.I.Y. passion project is filled with stop motion effects, gory body horror, and surrealist visuals. Bleeding Skull is honored to present a new 4K restoration of the original, uncut version of DISEMBODIED on disc for the first time ever—complete with a science lab full of extras and multiple versions of the film.

"Vinegar Syndrome always delivers on the restoration side, especially for a grimy, micro-budget underground flick like this. The disc features excellent archival extras that perfectly contextualize the bizarre stop-motion effects."
"Great weird film High-effort low-budget horror The 4k looks good"
"Singular, surrealist, art-horror madness from director William Kersten. Blind-bought this off-the-back of reading some fantastic reviews of it, and I'm so glad I did. Bleeding Skull have done an incredible job with the 4K restoration. Never knew a SOV movie could look this damn good."
"Glad we finally got a much better presentation of this film than the previous blu-ray without the new added in scenes. Presentation looks great and the movie is a well deserved cult classic."
"This surreal DIY body-horror trip is an absolute masterpiece of underground trash cinema."
"Never expected this to hit 4k. Great sleazy body horror movie. Recommended to fans of Frank Hennenlotter."
"Few low-budget films manage to create such a well-crafted atmosphere as this one. It’s a unique film. It’s wonderful that they’ve restored a film like this."
"I’ve had great luck blind buying items from Bleeding Skull. Disembodied rules! Great work for their first 4K!"
"I was a little taken aback at first with the 4K upgrade, but the point of these upgrades are film upgrades, and not only that but the practical effects are pretty great."
"Wish I'd been in time to get the LE slipcase, but it's not a huge deal as the art is the same. Bleeding Skull's first foray into 4k is well worth it!"
