Description

Nothing can prepare you for BOARDINGHOUSE. Jim (director John Wintergate), a psychic-gigolo who wears a leopard-print thong, rents a haunted house to "beautiful women with no ties.” From there, this unworldly slasher transforms into a sleazy, hallucinogenic maelstrom of gore, sex, chainsaws, pie fights, killer refrigerators, jacuzzis, beds that eat people, a new wave band called 33 and 1/3, and a leading lady known only as Kalassu. BOARDINGHOUSE is the first shot-on-video horror film to be blown up to 35mm and released theatrically. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are thrilled to bring the 35mm theatrical cut to home video for the first time in this 2-disc set, which also includes PSYCHO KILLER (a previously unreleased alternate home video cut) and SALLY & JESS (the previously unreleased “family film” from the makers of BOARDINGHOUSE).

    SO MUCH PRESSURE

    Being young means trying to adapt.

    There are so many expectations and so few tools to use. Let's put same danger in as well.

    Boarding house

    This was a hidden gem in my opinion, I always had fondness for low budget and indie films that seem always go unnoticed.. 6/10..
