Starring David Hess (The Last House on the Left), Sasha Grey (today’s top porn sensation), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Herschell Gordon Lewis (“The Godfather of Gore”), Media Blasters, Inc. and Fever Dreams, LLC. proudly announces the North American DVD premiere of director Lee Gordon Demarbre’s Smash Cut starring Sasha Grey in her first mainstream feature since her break-through performance in Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience. Smash Cut will debut on the Shriek Show label’s new `Fresh Meat’ imprint and ravage retail shelves everywhere on March 23rd. Check out the release and an exclusive image below.
SMASH CUT stars Sasha Grey as television news celebrity April Carson who hires private investigator Isaac Beaumonde (Jesse Buck) to help find her missing sister, a stripper known as Gigi Spot (Jennilee Murray). Following a bloodstained trail, Carson goes undercover and auditions for a role in a low budget horror movie. Soon, she shockingly discovers that the movie’s director, Able Whitman (David Hess), is not only the killer but that he has utilized her sister’s body parts to pump up the `realism’ for his new production! When Whitman requires more `props’ for his film, he sets off on a crimson-splattered killing spree. Now, only intrepid reporter April and the celebrated private detective stand between the demented director and his unquenchable thirst for reel slaughter at 24 frames per second!

Sasha Grey is perhaps best known as Adult Video News (AVN)’s Female Performer of the Year (2008) and Cross-over Performer of the Year (2009). She has appeared in numerous music videos (The Smashing Pumpkins, The Roots), television talk shows (The Tyra Banks Show) and mainstream ad campaigns (American Apparel as well as for Richard Kern). Grey was also profiled in the Rolling Stone’s “Hot Issue” (December 2008).

SMASH CUT is directed by Lee Demarbre and produced by Odessa/Zed Filmworks. Co-starring in SMASH CUT is David Hess from Wes Craven’s original “The Last House on the Left” and “Swamp Thing”. Also featuring a cameo appearance by the godfather of gore himself, Herschell Gordon Lewis (BLOOD FEAST, 2000 MANIACS).

Inspired by the career of the godfather of gore Herschell Gordon Lewis, SMASH CUT is director Demarbre’s riotous homage to B-movie horror filmmaking.
