If Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre made a home movie, it would feel a lot like Ogroff. Shot on Super 8 film in France by video shop owner/horror zine publisher Norbert Moutier (aka N.G. Mount), the movie follows Ogroff—a deranged cannibal who attacks anyone unfortunate enough to enter his haunted forest. Channeling a chaotic, droned-out slasher aesthetic that showcases haunted synthesizers, crazed gore, and surreal deviations from reality, Ogroff is the zenith of accidental avant-garde horror. Bleeding Skull is honored to present this fabled underground nightmare for the first time on Blu-ray, restored from the newly discovered U-matic tape masters.
