The American Genre Film Archive has revealed that it is planning to release on Blu-ray
Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things (1971). The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: Dropping somewhere between
Pink Flamingos,
Blood Beat, and an episode of
The Brady Bunch,
Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things is a histrionic psychodrama that could only have originated in the alternate dimension known as Florida. After robbing a bank in Baltimore, cross-dressing Paul (aka Aunt Martha) and his partner Stanley hide out in a Florida town. But it's only a matter of time before Paul's paranoia forces him to embark on a demented killing spree. AGFA is thrilled to present one of the most unforgettable exploitation movies of all time — and an overlooked chapter of early queer cinema — preserved from the only 35mm theatrical print in existence.
