VIDEO INVEST COLLECTION

During the barbaric heyday of film censorship in the early 1980s, Video Invest was the most daring and notorious video company. Their films were much worse than anyone else's, which led to police raids on Sweden's video stores. The 26 confiscated VHS titles were destroyed and the company went bankrupt. Now the films are back! In uncut original versions and digitally restored. Armed with a hammer, drill, and nail gun, a crazy killer attacks women he considers immoral in this deeply disturbing horror thriller.

The cast brings together the unlikely combination of Cameron Mitchell (TV hitéen High Chaparral), former child film star Pamelyn Ferdin (TV series Lassie) and porn star Kelly Nichols, whose character is murdered with a nail gun in one of the most notorious scenes in film history.

The film was partly responsible for creating the biggest moral panic ever to shake Sweden when the debate program Studio S was broadcast on December 2, 1980. This led to several police raids on video stores and an aggressive debate on video violence that would continue to rage for years to come.
