'Special Effects' Director: Larry Cohen (1984) Transmission Limited Edition Blu-ray | HD transfer

A pungent, grindhouse-friendly riff on psycho-sexual thriller classics such as Vertigo, Peeping Tom and Blow Out, presented with inimitable style from the king of low-budget NY genre cinema, Larry Cohen (Q: The Winged Serpent, The Stuff). 

Reality and illusion collide as megalomaniacal filmmaker Chris Neville murders a young would-be actress, then sets about making a feature about the deed, casting the deceased’s clueless husband as the patsy, and finding a dead ringer to play the late actress.
