Exploding out of the German horror underground, Fuck the Devil (1990) + Fuck the Devil 2: Return of the Fucker (1991) are cinematic equivalents of DIY comic books that were made by a teenage stoner while experimenting with bootleg acid. And there’s nothing else like them. The films tell the story of The F*cker—a phantasmagorical death machine who materializes from haunted VHS tapes of Evil Dead 2 and A Nightmare on Elm Street to wreak havoc on unsuspecting parents, teens, and babies. Fueled by subversive violence, experimental techniques, and an unconditional love for the horror genre, these Casiocore-driven miracles teleport us into a dream-like panic state where Rambo posters, 8-bit sound barfs, and Nightmare Feddys rule our subconsciousness. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are overjoyed to welcome The Fucker to home video for the first time ever—complete with new 2022 director’s cuts, the original cuts, and a fuck-ton of extras.
