Press Release: Scream Factory presents a double dose of samurai action with The House Where Evil Dwells & Ghost Warrior on Blu-ray on January 5, 2016.
These two martial arts-themed thrillers from the 80s are now finally available for the first time on Blu-ray, in a release including a new high-definition transfer for The House Where Evil Dwells.
THE HOUSE WHERE EVIL DWELLS
A century ago, a samurai brutally murdered his adulterous wife and her lover before taking his own life. Now, the Fletcher family has found what they think is their perfect Japanese home - not knowing it's the same house where the murders occurred. But as strange events escalate and the ghosts of the dead toy with the living, the Fletchers discover they've become unwitting players in a horrible reenactment...one which they may not survive! This chilling ghost story stars Edward Albert (Galaxy of Terror), Susan George (Straw Dogs), Doug McClure (Humanoids from the Deep) and is directed by Kevin Connor (Motel Hell).
GHOST WARRIOR (AKA SWORDKILL)
Frozen in ice for over 300 years a deadly samurai warrior… lives again! While exploring a cave, two skiers find the body of a 400-year-old samurai warrior entombed in ice. He is brought to the United States in a hush-hush operation and revived through cryosurgery. Unfortunately, he is then forced to battle for his freedom, dignity and life. This Charles Band production stars Janet Julian (King of New York, Humongous).
Special Features:
- NEW High-Definition transfer (The House Where Evil Dwells)
- Theatrical Trailers
