Mindwarp, a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi gore film produced by Fangoria Magazine in 1992, is a cup half-full, cup half-empty proposition. In the plus column, it stars Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead) and Angus Scrimm (Phantasm), two genre icons who give it their all no matter how low-budget or poorly conceived the film around them happens to be. And despite being the brainchild of a publication dedicated to glorifying the grossest moments in movie history, Mindwarp surprisingly chooses to emphasize ideas over shock effects.

The Blu-ray includes an isolated audio track of Mark Governor’s score, the original theatrical trailer, and liner notes by Julie Kirgo.

The Blu-ray is now available for pre-order and as supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title,...
