Independent British distributors 88 Films have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of director Fred Olen Ray's slasher
Scalps (1983), starring Jo-Ann Robinson, Richard Hench, Roger Maycock, Carol Sue Flockhart, Kirk Alyn, and Barbara Magnusson. The release will be available for purchase on March 7.
Synopsis: A cut above many eighties "slasher classics", 1983s SCALPS mixes splatter action with the supernatural when a group of college kids begin digging around an old Native American burial ground. Suffice to say, a spirit by the name of Black Claw was enjoying his sleep and does not react well to being disturbed!
A slaughter-thon that serves-up plenty of plasma-spillage and teen-trepanning set-pieces,
Scalps has been unavailable in the UK since the days of rental shops. Sourced from a new director-approved HD scan.
