Visual Vengeance is preparing a Blu-ray release of Philip J. Cook's Despiser (2003), starring Mark Redfield, Enrique Castillo, Philip J. Cook, Greg Cooper, and Richard Dorton. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on October 22.

After losing his job and his wife, Gordon crashes his car and lands in purgatory, where he's attacked by fanatics and enslaved souls. He's soon saved by a quirky band of freedom fighters from different historical eras, all of whom died in noble sacrifice. Reluctantly joining their cause, Gordon embarks on a wild adventure through surreal, hellish landscapes to battle the Despiser, the malevolent ruler of the realm. Facing shifting realities, monstrous creatures, and intense car chases over lava oceans, their journey leads to the ultimate showdown to save all of humanity.

Phillips Cook's quirky, non-stop menagerie of machine gun battles, early CGI masterwork and endless array of monsters make it one of the most unique direct to video features of the VHS and early DVD era. Cook painstakingly crafts a green screen netherworld steeped in brutal violence, religious mythology and action movie tropes, all filtered through a dream-like, hallucinogenic lens that never once takes its foot off the gas.
