Satanic sacrifice, face-ripping gore and a channel-hopping bunny! Director Michele Soavi (The Church, Cemetery Man) and writer/producer Dario Argento welcome to you the dark and demented world of The Sect. 

Following up their fantastic release of The Church, Shameless Entertainment is set to bring another Michele Soavi film to Blu-ray in the form of The Sect! The official release date has yet to be confirmed but it is expected in the early part of 2017. What we do know is that this will be first-ever 2k HD restoration of the film and be the longest version ever coming in at 117 minutes. This cut is entirely faithful to Soavi’s original vision for the film.

You can pre-order your copy of The Sect today straight from Shameless!

Synopsis:
Watch with glee while schoolteacher (Kelly Curtis) becomes the target of a devil-worshipping sect. Soon her friends either disappear, become crazed zombie-like murderers or get their hearts ripped out…still beating. Some even jerk back to life in an undead bloodletting frenzy! Is Jamie-Lee Curtis’ sister loosing her mind or has the devil come into her? Adding 666 degrees of terror to a Rosemary’s Baby scenario, Soavi blowtorches a diabolic opus that will have you clawing your face off with fear!
