A struggling writer and his younger sister attempt to make sense of their brother's mysterious death in this sexually surreal mystery from I Spit on Your Corpse, I Piss on Your Grave director Eric Stanze and director Robin Garrels. When Dave (D.J. Vivona) gets a surprise visit from his dead brother Trent (Jason Allen Wolfe), the shock of seeing his deceased brother standing at his door is compounded by the strange gift from the otherworldly visitor -- a DVD in which Trent's former girlfriend Beth (Eli DeGeer) reveals the details of her deceased boyfriend's grim final days. Soon learning that Trent had fallen under the hypnotic influence of charismatic drug-dealer Tracey, who forced him and Beth to become drug couriers and partake in a variety of sordid sexual games, Dave and his sister Karla (Rachel Lewis) are heartbroken. Though Trent and Beth had planned to escape from Tracey's deviant web of deceit and debauchery, the manipulative pusher still had one final scheme up her sleeve that would spell certain death for the young lovers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Cult filmmaker Eric Stanze (Ice From the Sun) took a break from his more personal independent films to oversee the creation of the Sub Rosa Extreme video line for producer Ron Bonk, directing this flagship release himself. Like most of the films in the series, it is an extrapolation of a classic horror film, in this case I Spit on Your Grave, shot on a very low budget and packed with far more carnage and sleaze than the original. Emily Haack from the director's Scrapbook stars as Sandy, the daughter of the protagonist in the original film. Sandy's boyfriend, Kevin (Stanze acting under the name "Scot Spookytooth") breaks out of prison and kidnaps her, along with three men whom he blames for his incarceration. They're chained in the basement, and think they will be freed after the feisty Sandy guts Kevin with a crowbar, but she has her own bone to pick with the three prisoners, each of whom had sexually harassed her in the past. One man is shot in the crotch, while another is burned below the waist with a cigarette before being forced to defecate, having his face shoved into his own waste like a dog, and then being brutally chopped to death with an axe. The worst horrors are in store for the third man, however, as Sandy first teases him by explicitly pleasuring herself with the broomstick as he watches, then bloodily rapes him with it before stabbing him to death. D.J. Vivano and Jeff Atwater co-star. Other Sub Rosa Extreme films include Insaniac, The Christmas Season Massacre, and Last House on Hell Street, each paying homage to a separate cult horror film. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

One woman's harrowing torture at the hands of a madman leads her into a pit of madness from which she may never escape in this ultra-violent horror film. Carla (Emily Haack) is a young woman who is abducted by a violent psychopath named Leonard (Tommy Biondo). While Leonard has done this before, and always kills his victims, death is hardly the worst part of their ordeal; as Leonard puts Carla through his usual routine of humiliation and torture, he forces her to write about her abuse in a scrapbook, which features writings from his other victims, as well as photos of their mutilated bodies, locks of their hair, bits of their clothing, and other "souvenirs." After Carla makes several attempts to escape -- which cause Leonard to torture her with even greater vehemence -- she decides her only hope for survival is to read the journals of her fellow victims and see if Leonard has any weaknesses she can exploit. Leading man Tommy Biondo also wrote Scrapbook; it was his last film, as he died in 1999, prior to the release of this picture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
