‘Frat House Massacre’ and Christina Lindberg’s ‘Wide Open’ Coming Soon from Synapse

Posted on July 16, 2011 by Deaditor

It’s a summer of sex and violence thanks to Synapse Films.

This summer things heat up with the release of Christina Lindberg’s final screen role in Wide Open.

Christina Lindberg and Solveig Andersson met before in the violent cult-classic Thriller: A Cruel Picture and Swedish Hellcats. They meet yet again in Wide Open.

Taxi driver Paul and his beautiful journalist girlfriend Marianne have a strained relationship. Things get crazy when Paul brings his drunken father back to their apartment. As tensions between the two lovebirds rise, they decide to chill out at a wild movie party and things go from bad to worse (for Marianne anyway) when they both wake up in bed together with Marianne’s sister, Beryl!

Marianne leaves, so Paul decides to spend some time watching strippers and taking Beryl along for some nighttime fun. Everything is going great, until Beryl gets picked up by the evil Mr. X and things turn dangerous. A stolen mink coat, drugs, and violent sex games lead Paul and Beryl to confront Mr. X during the film’s perverse stag party climax! Chock full of nudity and sex, WIDE OPEN is a must for all fans of sexy Swedish sin-ema!

If you want a throw back to old school horror then you’ll want to check out Alex Pucci’s Frat House Massacre! (see our official review here) Editor-in-chief Marc Patterson called it “an indie gorehounds wet dream. It mixes together just the right amount of retro styled gore with loads of hot babes, hunky frat boys, blood, boobies, and even a couple nice plot twists. It’s the kind of old school homage that would make the likes of Fulci smile

Sean and his little brother Bobby thought joining the Delta Iota Epsilon fraternity would be the best time of their lives with parties, freedom, girls and sex. The fraternity president Mark (Jon Fleming of TVs Will & Grace and Dante’s Cove), however, is a little strange. His twisted hazing rituals include extreme physical and mental torture that lead the boys down a horrific path of destruction and death. But death may be just the beginning, as this gritty twisted film unfolds. Inspired by actual events and set in the year 1979, Frat House Massacre is a disturbing journey through the twisted world of fraternity boys, pledges and the not-so-innocent sorority sisters swept up in their madness. Loaded with violence, gore, nudity and a fantastic music score by Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti, this is the full-length director’s cut containing over twenty minutes of additional footage.
