Lost Canadian Gore Flick MASSACRE UP NORTH Hits VHS and DVD

May 24, 2016

Berserk Canadian splatter slasher shows up again on VHS and DVD.

Fledgling indie distributor Shivers Entertainment, based out of Victoria, British Columbia and developed by exploitation film fan Brenin Barrow, has recently announced that demented Canadian horror cheapie MASSACRE UP NORTH will be their first release..

The gruesome, no-budget slasher was made in 2001, a shot-on-video opus that,according to Barrow, “is one of the bloodiest titles to ever be produced in Canada”.

And that’s saying something!

The official synopsis: After a camping accident leaves him disfigured and tormented by classmates, Leslie Rejick only has one thing on his mind: revenge! With a hardware store chock-full of deadly tools at his disposal, he leaves behind a merciless path of death and destruction in a small Canadian town. A pair of inept city detectives, determined to track down the killer, enlist the help of eccentric local coroner Patrick. But, Patrick holds a secret of his own, and he ultimately leads the detectives head-on into a bizarre, bloody battle with the psychotic killer.

Shivers Entertainment will be releasing MASSACRE UP NORTH in a very limited (only 70 copies!) VHS edition (get it here) and regular run DVD (order that here).
