Refuse Films has informed us that it is launching a new sublabel named Disk Rot, which will highlight shot-on-video movies, underground obscurities, and physical media premieres in an exclusive run of 666 copies.
Label statement: Disk Rot is the new bootleg sub-label from Refuse Films, created to showcase shot-on-video movies, underground obscurities, and physical media premieres in an exclusive run of 666 copies. Refuse Films decided it was time to pull these low-budget titles out of the streaming apocalypse and to cement their legacy on physical media through their bootleg offshoot Disk Rot. Films made to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed, curated and limited for a tasteless audience, and are not for general consumption.
Each Disk Rot release is duplicated individually in a run of 666 copies. These discs are not factory-pressed for a mass-market audience. They are burned Blu-ray discs (aka BD-Rs), produced within a punk rock DIY ethos to exist, circulate, and endure on physical media outside industrial replication. Every disc is marked "For bootlegging purposes only." Each title is priced at £14 / $20, or £25 / $35 for both Series 0 releases. No slipcovers, no video masters.
Refuse Films is envisioning Disk Rot as a bi-monthly release line. The Disk Rot Series 0 releases will be the now out-of-print gory-ously delightful My Bloody Banjo (2015) and Eating Miss Campbell (2022), because once they're OOP, they're Disc Rot! Both titles feature newly recorded exclusive audio commentaries and selected extras from their original Refuse Films releases and are limited to 666 copies each.
Disk Rot Series 0 serves as the pilot run for the Disk Rot sub-label and is presented in xeroxed DIY photocopy sleeves, with a filmmaker biography on the reverse and an obi strip listing special features and the assigned release number. Both titles are now available to pre-order from refusefilms.com and will ship in late January 2026.
