New Indie Horror Film - The Halfway House Gets DVD Release Date!

On August 23, 2005,  Skouras/Ventura will release Kenneth J. Hall's horror/exploitation/comedy "The Halfway House" onto DVD (in both rated and unrated), and this will be the first feature film on BV Entertainment's Fright Film Factory label. 

The movie has already attained a strong fan following through festival screenings and received 4 1/2 out of 5 stars from Film Threat.  Starring cult queen Mary Woronov (ROCK N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, EATING RAOUL, DEVIL'S REJECTS) as an evil nun, it satirizes drive-in cinema from women-in-prison films to slasher flicks.

Both DVD versions will include a trailer and the music video "Halfway to Hell" by Insecto Circus. Both versions will be widescreen 1.85:1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 stereo surround sound.  The unrated cut will include additional features such as an audio commentary track by writer/director Kenneth J. Hall and producer Ed Polgardy, deleted scenes, and a
making-of documentary entitled "Gut-Eating Monsters from Hell."

Synopsis: "Young girls are disappearing around the Mary Magdalen Halfway House for Troubled Girls. Desperate to find out what happened to her sister, Larissa Morgan goes undercover to infiltrate the Catholic-run institution.

Once inside, she encounters Father Fogerty, a priest with a passion for punishment; Sister Cecelia, a nun with a dark past; tough Edwina and her love-toy Cherry Pie; Latino Angelina and her homegirls; and a sinister handyman, Lutkus. Between spankings, sweaty catfights, girl-on-girl action, and long, hot showers, Larissa gets caught up in a twisted web of sadism, violence, and wanton lust before learning the ultimate secret of the Halfway House – a huge monster in the basement with tentacles, one eye, and a taste for female flesh!"
