City Lights Entertainment Blu-Ray Review Vol.2 - The Newlydeads - from terror-vision.com

Before PM Entertainment lit up the 90s action world, there was City Lights Entertainment — the wonderfully scrappy, sleazy, low-budget battleground where Joseph Merhi, Rick Pepin, Ron Gilchrist, Richard W. Munchkin and others first learned to run-and-gun their way through high-energy horror and action flicks shot on glorious and grimy 16mm.

Now, thanks to Terror-Vision.com, these lost fever dreams are rising from the VHS graveyard and onto extras-packed, Blu-Ray, special editions.

In this second volume, I dig into THE NEWLYDEADS (1988) — a wild, grimy, supernatural slasher about a haunted lakeside resort where various odd couples are being picked off one by one by a vengeance-driven spirit. Directed by Joseph Merhi, written by Sean Dash, Laurel Fest, and Merhi, and starring Jimmy Williams, Jean Levine, and John Henry Richardson, this is a perfect snapshot of City Lights at its most chaotic, trashy, and strangely charming. Equal parts ghost story, psycho-zombie-revenge-thriller, and low-rent slasher, The Newlydeads is the kind of movie video stores were made for — and Terror-Vision’s new Blu-ray finally gives this woodland bound nightmare the love (and gore preservation) it deserves.

If you’re a fan of PM Entertainment, 80s indie horror, VHS oddities, or the strange evolutionary path that led from City Lights to one of the most prolific action studios of the 90s… this one is for you.

Watch the full review and dive into the confusing, handmade, madness of THE NEWLYDEADS!
