VIDEO: New Trailer for Thriller DERANGED, Coming to DVD 8/19

Arrow Video are pleased to announce the worldwide Blu-ray premiere of Alan Ormsby and
Jeff Gillen's disturbing cult-horror classic DERANGED on Monday 19th August. Below, check out an all-new trailer for the thriller!

Restored and fully uncut for The First Time ever, anywhere in the world, horror fans will finally
be able to bear witness to the movie's infamous 'brain-scooping scene' in all its glory!
Originally released on DVD in 2002, as part of MGM's "Midnite Movies" collection, this
release marks The First Time DERANGED will be available on Blu-ray.

In keeping with the high standards Arrow's fanbase has come to expect, the deluxe dual
edition of DERANGED will come loaded with special features and bonus material, including
exclusive featurettes, interviews, behind-the-scenes images, trailers, collector's booklet and
reversible sleeve artwork.

Real-life Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein inspired many distinguished films, including Psycho,
The Silence of the Lambs and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but none is quite as
disturbing as DERANGED.oberts Blossom gives an alarmingly convincing performance as rural eccentric Ezra

Cobb, whose mother's death unhinges him to the point where he not only lovingly preserves
her corpse in the living room, but also goes out to find 'friends' to keep her company - not all
of whom are dead when he finds them... Perversely, Ezra's more worried about what mother
would say about his various activities than he is about the prospect of being found out.
Indeed, like Gein, he's cheerfully open about his activities when visiting friends, but no-one
believes him.

Like Carnival of Souls and The Honeymoon Killers, this is one of American horror cinema's
great one-offs, an eerie, genuinely unsettling but also darkly comic experience.
