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!

A notorious SOV horror saga from Oregon based writer / director John Bowker (The Seekers, Housebound, Dreamwalkers), The Evilmaker duology stars ‘90s scream queen Stephanie Beaton (the Witchcraft series, Eyes of the Werewolf) and features cinematography by fellow Corvallis SOV filmmaker Joe Sherlock (Odd Noggins, Monster in the Garage). A pair of rental store and fanzine staples from one of the Pacific Northwest’s most notable, regional video auteurs, John Bowker’s Evilmaker features make their Blu-Ray debut from Saturn’s Core sporting new restorations and over 9 hours of special features!

The Evilmaker (2000)
After catching her husband having an affair, Serena (Stephanie Beaton) hits the road for a weekend getaway with her girlfriends spearheaded by her goth bestie Rachel (Felicia Pandolfi). When their car breaks down on the way, the girls take shelter in a mysterious abandoned house. The girls are promptly slaughtered one by one by an evil, unseen entity which emerges from an ominous culvert nearby, bringing with it sinister and forgotten revelations from Serena’s muddled past

Abomination: The Evilmaker 2 (2003)
Sensing a psychic connection to her missing sister Rachel, Kathy (Kylene Wetherell) returns to the abandoned house where the horrifying events of The Evilmaker took place. With the help of a disgraced police detective, Kathy discovers her sister’s spirit still inhabiting the house in both evil and angelic forms and must traverse the houses’ psychological hellscapes and the homicidal machinations of her possessed friends in order to survive the night.

Reviews

Pacific Northwest SOV Evil

"Great Saturn’s Core release for anyone into regional tape-era horror. The Evilmaker films have that rough haunted-house SOV vibe, with abandoned spaces, psychic weirdness, unseen evil, and plenty of homemade nightmare logic. The new transfers and mountain of extras make this feel like a real rescue job for John Bowker’s work."

Danny W. (5/5)

Jonathan G. (3/5)

The Evilmaker & Abomination

"It's what you expect from a W. A. V. E. production! Fun time if your into these shot on video turds! Cheap gore & Nudity! A++"

Dustin S. (5/5)

Fantastic Edition

"Blind buy on this one but glad I took the chance - great release of a fun double bill!"

Nicholas W. (5/5)

Stephanie Beaton. . . and that's it.

"The forgotten queen of low budget pictures, Stephanie Beaton. She really is the best answer seemingly only reason to purchase this double feature (sadly, not in the second movie). Which is also why she is featured predominantly on the slipcover."

Preston C. (2/5)

Great Watch!

"It is a cool movie collection 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!"

Paul K. (5/5)

Sexy Duo from Saturn's Core

"Love every Saturn's Core grab that shows up on my porch."

Jeff W. (3/5)

Lets make some evil

"packs a delightfully heavy, late-'90s slacker hangout vibe alongside literal buckets of low-budget gore. Oh boy and what a cover."
