Turkey Shoot LE (4K-UHD) ***Preorder*** 11/16

From director Brian Trenchard-Smith (BMX Bandits) and producer Antony I Ginnane (Patrick, Snapshot) comes the controversial Ozploitation classic Turkey Shoot, starring Steve Railsback (The Stunt Man), Olivia Hussey (Black Christmas), and Michael Craig (Mysterious Island).

Under a brutal fascist regime which imprisons ‘social deviants’ in hellish concentration camps, the sadistic warden Thatcher (Craig) organises a ‘turkey shoot’, in which prisoners are hunted and killed for sport. Political prisoner Paul (Railsback), falsely imprisoned Chris (Hussey), and prostitute Rita (Lynda Stoner, The Young Doctors) are amongst those who fight for survival as they lead a rebellion against Thatcher’s brutal reign.

Released to a worldwide storm of critical opprobrium and official censorship, Turkey Shoot is a dystopian sci-fi thriller which retains all of its power to shock and outrage.
