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!

Travel through the depths of a deranged mind and experience first hand the violent hallucinations of an incarcerated psychiatric patient. Trapped within the confines of his white cell, Jeffrey Prior (Michael Todd Schneider) struggles with his deteriorating grasp on reality while his psychiatrist, Dr. Nathaniel Beck (Eric James), tries to unravel the secrets behind his daughter’s brutal rape and murder. 

The SOV directorial debut from the notoriously transgressive, Pittsburgh based writer / director Michael Todd Schneider aka magGot (August Underground’s Mordum, The Profane Exhibit, …and Then I Helped), My Crepitus is a hypnotic and surreal, lo-fi analog fever dream that seemlessly collides at the intersection of extreme underground gore and experimental video art. Like a cursed transmission from an abhorrent alien universe, My Crepitus is a gore-drenched amalgamation of Inland Empire, Begotten, and Alien Beasts set to an abrasive and disorienting cacophony of sound which Rue Morgue magazine described as “akin to smashing your teeth into the coffee table for ninety minutes”. Saturn’s Core is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of magGot’s grimy and hallucinatory masterpiece with this ultimate, director supervised Blu-Ray set which presents My Crepitus in multiple cuts, it’s prequel short A Tribute to Sanity, and over 14 hours of special features (on 2 discs) including two feature length documentaries plus countless featurettes, commentaries, and short films which serve as a comprehensive chronicle of both the birth and consequent burgeoning of Schneider's magGot Films imprint.

Reviews

Fantastic release

"Yet another sublime Saturn's Core release, they never seem to get it wrong. The slipcover is killer!"

— Jakob P. (5/5)

Mind-bending Joy!

"The slipcover is awesome, as always with anything VS or their awesome partner Labels release! It is a cool movie that was a lot of fun to watch! I always love the unique VS service of allowing you to stack as many movies as you like in your cart during any release period and ship them for free! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

— Paul K. (5/5)

Had a bit of weary

"Had a bit of weary feeling going into this as I'm not the biggest fan of the August Underground films. Thankfully it was on sale so I took the blind chance at this and was somewhat surprised at how decent it went. The camp is very bare bones here and leans towards the cringe due to how serious this film tries to be but between the effects and extras I grew to enjoy it. The host of interviews here really gave me a better look into the mind of one of gross out/snuff cinema's minds and Magit won me over a bit due to his passion. Still, don't go into this expecting campy horror that knows what it is as My Crepitus is a serious attempt at making insanity visually possible. The shocks will get some and the effects work with the SOV grime would fool some if you caught this at the corner of your eye."

— Cody B. (3/5)

Interesting

"Good presentation and extras . Check it out"

— Bruce K. (4/5)

My Crepitus

— Simon R. (5/5)

As abrasive as you think

"Weird, grinding and nasty. For the real mutants only."

— Damon S. (5/5)

why i never leave VS

"i love low budget gore movies!"

— Jerry N. (5/5)

September Underground

"SOV movie that aggressively blurs the lines between extreme body horror and surrealist video art, generating an abrasive, dreamlike nightmare."

— Kevin G. (5/5)

His Crepitus

"This is cute but I'm not sure it all comes together in the end"

— Avery E. (3/5)

Why all this moody brooding?

"My Crepitus feels more like a surreal art experiment than a conventional film, drifting between imagery and mood rather than story. It’s intentionally opaque, asking the viewer to sit with discomfort, texture, and strange visual rhythms. You may not fully “get” it, but it leaves a lingering, unsettling impression that’s hard to shake."

— Shawn M. (3/5)
