SHATTER DEAD (1994) d. Scooter McCrae (USA) When the Angel of Death impregnates a mortal woman, people stop being able to die. As the living human population dwindles, the line begins to blur as to which is considered the dominant race and who are the monstrous aberrations. Tonight’s selection, SHATTER DEAD, is a shining example of why “Shot-on-Video” horror films are, as author S.A. Bradley puts it, "the punk rock of horror," where lack of funds simply means more room for unlimited creativity and imagination, breaking ground and breaking rules. Join AC and his awesome panel of guests (Aaron AuBuchon, S.A. Bradley, Derrick Carey, John McDevitt) as we honor writer/director Scooter McCrae’s astonishing DIY effort on its 30th anniversary of release. Hopefully it opens a Pandora’s Box into the world of SOV horror for YOU!! ----------------------------------------- AARON AUBUCHON is a film professor and writer, and also an editor, director, motion graphics artist and producer.
