Classic performances by legendary star Ingrid Pitt (THE VAMPIRE LOVERS and COUNTESS DRACULA) and actor/makeup artist extraordinaire Tom Savini (FROM DUSK TIL DAWN, DAWN OF THE DEAD) highlight this tale of an all-powerful evil that threatens to savage a village of innocents, including the desperate few who dare to resist. Explosive action and state-of-the-art gore effects are melded with breathtaking cinematography and a diabolically clever script by veteran screenwriter and nouveau director Scott Bunt.
“Beyond the Black Forest, in the fairytale village of Heidelberg, an unspeakable evil has taken root. One by one, Heidelberg’s citizens have fallen into trances, awakening under the control of a dark master, the mythical Christian king Prester John (Tom Savini). Prester John is collecting souls, transporting them to the “other side” so he can force their abandoned bodies into compliance.”
An homage to the classic Hammer Films of the 50’s/60’s (HORROR OF DRACULA, CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN) and a loving tribute to the works of Italian maestro Mario Bava (BLACK SUNDAY, BLACK SABBATH), Bunt’s epic social satire has something for every horror fan: mythical monsters, cannibalistic harpies, zombie assassins, torture dungeons, possessed innocents, evil aristocrats, and mind-boggling special effects by Josh Turi (WENDIGO, UNFAITHFUL). Featuring Stuart Rudin (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS), Bill Timoney (ALL MY CHILDREN), and newcomers Troy Holland and Darby Totten, SEA OF DUST is an instant horror classic.
