Description
Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureA LOVE STRANGER THAN KING KONG!From writer/director John Landis, the mind behind The Blues Brothersand An American Werewolf in London, comes a love story that transcends the boundaries of nature and good taste - the one and only Schlock!Carnage! Terror! Banana skins! The mighty prehistoric ape Schlocktropus has emerged from hiding to embark on a full-scale rampage across a quiet Southern Californian suburb. The police are baffled. The army is powerless. The body count is rising. But when Schlocktropus encounters a kindly blind woman (Eliza Garrett, National Lampoon's Animal House) who sees beyond his grotesque visage, the homicidal simian is presented with a chance at redemption...Shot over twelve days on a micro-budget, Schlock launched the careers of both Landis and legendary effects makeup artist Rick Baker (Videodrome). An uproarious pastiche of monster movies, packed to the gills with irreverent humour and biting satire, Schlock serves as the outrageous missing link between the creature features of yesteryear and its creators' subsequent varied and celebrated careers.Special Edition Contents:2K restoration of the film from the original camera negativeHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentationOriginal lossless mono soundtrackOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary by writer/director John Landis and makeup artist Rick BakerNew video interview with author and critic Kim NewmanBirth of a Schlock, a 2017 video interview with John LandisArchival video interview with cinematographer Bob Collins1972, 1979 and 1982 US theatrical trailersUS radio spotsReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys
