Details

This special limited edition spot gloss slipcover (designed by Robert Sammelin) is limited to 4,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

Degausser Video is a brand new label created by several of the devious minds behind VS, which will bring to Blu-ray deluxe editions of both canonical and under-seen shot on video (SOV) genre cinema, in addition to work shot on film, but edited on tape, wherein the original film materials are believed to be lost or destroyed. Similar to Vinegar Syndrome's focus on FILM preservation, Degausser will work only from original analogue tape materials with an emphasis on maintaining the aesthetics inherent to each respective video format. Additionally, each title released by Degausser will be made available in an ultra limited "new" VHS edition, fitted in a custom designed hard shell light box.

Deep in the backwoods and winding trails of The Appalachian Mountains, Wilbur is leading a group of his friends to his old childhood stomping grounds. Just across the mountainous terrain, Pa and his three sons are making their patented moonshine. But when the military loses a canister of oozing, deadly and deforming toxic waste, all paths lead to terror! Soon the good ol' boys are hand delivering a new nuked-up batch of brew to all the locals, turning them into melting cannibal zombies with their eyes on the freshest flesh around; Wilbur and his camping buddies! Will they escape the monstrous hordes or will they be the next course on the menu!?

In one of the first shot-on and released direct-to-video features, Degausser Video is proud to present the Blu-ray debut of REDNECK ZOMBIES from special fx whizz Pericles Lewnes (The Toxic Avenger 2 & 3, Shatter Dead).  Shot with barely a budget and almost entirely on weekends, the film delivers scares, laughs and better than expected gore! Sourced from the highest quality tape master, feast your eyes on this banquet of flesh!
