VHSHITFEST has been uncovering and releasing movies on video for over a decade, across DVD and VHS, and is now moving into blu-ray, with the same goal to showcase the most unique, crazy, and obscure movies that they've discovered through years of collecting VHS, allowing even more people to actually be able to experience these nearly lost gems in the best versions possible.

A psychiatrist, a fashion photographer and a detective find their lives intertwined in a curious case involving the disappearance of several male models. Steven Callahan (David Wittman) is a well respected therapist has just taken on a new client named Christian (Joseph F. Alexandre) who’s an aspiring fashion photographer who suffers from a series of bizarre and violent fantasies. As the fantasies become more vivid Steven becomes suspicious these are more than just random thoughts. Simultaneously, foul mouthed detective Tim Poroski (John Thomas) is faced with a series of murders and disappearances of several male models.

Psychotropic Overload is one of the most unique independent horror movies of the 90s. It’s a very Hitchcockian movie and cleverly blends the video format with 8mm and 16mm films elements. We are so excited for this to get a new audience and I think it will genuinely surprise you how well made it is.
