Gerald Kargl’s Angst Set to Terrorize Theaters Ahead of Home Video Release
If you’re into horror movies about depraved, mentally unstable serial killers, then director Gerald Kargl’s 1983 genre flick Angst (also known as Schizophrenia) is right up your demented alley. Locating a legitimate copy of the movie on home video in the US is next to impossible, although the boys and girls at Cult Epics are hoping to change that later this summer.
Ahead of the film’s Stateside debut on DVD and Blu-ray, Angst will thoroughly terrorize the countryside with several badass theatrical screenings. What’s more, cinematographer Zbigniew Rybcynski will be in attendance at the screenings scheduled for Los Angeles. That’s definitely something horror fans should investigate if they’re in the area.
Need a quick plot description? Here you go.
A man is released from prison after serving ten years for murdering an elderly woman. He quickly begins to feel the compulsion to kill again. After failing to murder a cab driver, he flees and discovers a secluded rural home, where a young woman lives with her sick mother and disabled brother. He then begins to take out his sadistic pleasures on them, attempting to hold them hostage, while thinking of his troubled childhood with his abusive mother and grandmother…
For a full list of theaters screening Angst this summer, swing by Shock Till You Drop. The film is presently slated to hit home video on August 18. Have a look at the trailer for Angst below.
