Saturn's Core Audio & Video is a New Jersey based home video label devoted to releasing underground oddities and shot on video cinema on VHS, and now, blu-ray discs! In partnership with OCN Distribution, Saturn's Core will exhume forgotten or under-seen genre cinema from the 80s and 90s, with an emphasis on SOV horror features. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

When a pair of divers go missing near The Catfish, the notorious site of a mysterious 1920s shipwreck, a tenacious news reporter Megan Flowers (Pamela Sutch) becomes determined to unravel the mysterious connection between the divers’ disappearance and the ominous nuclear power plant located on the shores of the small coastal community. When a local, close knit group of salvage divers are enlisted to search the area, the tension mounts as the shores become awash in radioactive corpses and bloodsucking, mutant vampire humanoids!

Started in 1999 but not released on video until 2005, Saturn’s Core is proud to present the definitive release of director Dave Castiglione’s elusive, shot on video, aquatic eco-horror epic Deep Undead. An homage to the underwater creature features of the 1980’s that features a cavalcade of ‘90s SOV luminaries including Pamela Sutch (Psycho Sisters), Dawn Murphy (Backwoods Marcy), Mick McCleery (Addicted to Murder), Debbie D. (Burglar From Hell), Laura Giglio (Sorority Slaughter), & Osman Karriem (Love Is a Stranger Again), Deep Undead takes a deep dive into terror with its atmospheric scares, pulsing synth score, telepathic mutant sexcapades, and hypnotic underwater videography.
