Special Edition PLANETFALL Disc Wows Critics

Our most ambitious show to date, Planetfall has been rocking the critics with its incredible line-up of special features. Featuring over two hours of bonus material on top of three feature-length audio commentary tracks, the Planetfall Widescreen Special Edition will blow you away.

When a military transport crash lands on a war-torn planet, competing factions seek the last, lost stockpile of the illicit psychic-power enhancing drug Psylenol. Set against a backdrop that combines the apocalyptic worldview of the Mad Max trilogy with the lawless antihero psychology of the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, Planetfall packs a visual effects-packed science fiction punch. Starring Leitha Matz and Heidi Fellner, the film has appearances from cult movie auteur Ted V. Mikels (Astro Zombies, Doll Squad) as Zitan President Arch Stanton, Jesse Ventura’s son Tyrel Ventura as shady dealer Syrus Theed, and the voice of John Levene (Doctor Who’s Sgt. Benton) as a pissed-off alien!

This disc includes an in-depth documentary on the film's making, which "packs everything you'd ever need to know about the movie, from its origins as a barely-there idea based on a set of costumes owned by the producers to its sold out screening at a Minneapolis theater. A mountain of on-set footage compliments honest interviews that discuss the best and worst of homegrown cinema. If you didn't love - or at least admire - the movie before this documentary, you will after." says DVDTalk.

Also included on the disc are a 20-min documentary on one of the film's locations, a featurette on the production design, and an interview with cult auteur Ted V. Mikels.

GO TO HELL - A Drive-In Style Classic on DVD from Troma Inc

Go To Hell is the first feature film from Carschool Filmorama, a group of independent madmen from the land of cheese (Wisconsin). Steeped in drive-in culture and exploitation filmmaking lore, the film centers around tabloid news reporter Dario Dare, who, in the search for the ultimate supernatural cover story for his Weekly World News-esque paper the National Explainer, becomes embroiled in a supernatural assassination plot that reads like JFK but screams like The Exorcist!

Transported to Hell by the minions of subdemon Bob Beezly, Dare is blackmailed into assassinating Cardinal Ponti, who is actually a Vatican turncoat who traded his soul for super powers and refuses to pay up. Beezly holds Dario's soul prisoner in Hell to insure his complete cooperation, his new job: kill Ponti and retrieve his soul. On his mission, he must team up with Vatican secret agent Marion Tango, Ponti's bodyguard and advisor.

But Marion has problems of her own. Captured by two renegade Vatican agents who look like Elvis Presley and Andy Warhol respectively, she is subjected to a variety of perverted interrogation techniques. Unable to prevent the assassination of Cardinal Ponti, she tries her best to capture the man responsible for his death: Dario Dare!

Released by Troma Team Video, this DVD features a host of special features like all good Style Commando releases do, with audio commentary by the film's leads, a behind the scenes documentary, and much more. If you like Italian horror films, conspiracy movies, Russ Meyer movies, and kung fu movies from the 1970s, chances are you'll find something meaty in Go To Hell!

"It's not often that a group of local lunatic dreamers like Carschool Film-O-Rama gets to produce the movie they've been dreaming about...This chunk of cinema sass is exactly what we need now... Imagine a straight-to-video horror film played half straight, half kooky by a bunch of Monty Python fans: a group of working stiffs who've taken one weekend a month off from Dungeons and Dragons to make a movie they think you'll really like. And you'll really like it... The style provide(s) the requisite gratifications of the B-horror film while cheerfully tweaking them. GO TO HELL will charm you with its disarmingly juvenille sense of humor, jokes that take several lines to set up, hellfire special effects that look like they're borrowed from a computer role playing game. GO TO HELL is a rare breed of comedy -- a perfectly direct piece of parody for the masses." -- Colier White, MN DAILY

ATOMIC ARCHIVE: The StyleCom-Exclusive DVD

The Atomic Archives DVD is another jam-packed release from Carschool FilmoRama. Two hours of content burst out of the box with appearances by Doctor Red Scary, Frankenstein Cop and Thaddeus Ghoul!

But what is Atomic Shock Theater, and who are these people? The Atomic Shock Troupe has been performing together since 1999 when they singlehandedly brought the spook show format -- incredibly strange films with even stranger live accompaniment -- back to life in the Twin Cities. When you order the Archives, you'll get to see numerous live show bits, the complete (and out of print) Atomic Shock Party Tape, the original filmed TV pilot and it's followup, and excerpts from a live TV broadcast of the show. With a guest appearance by Troma's Lloyd Kaufman, shock rockers Impaler, and much more!
