Welcome to Long Island’s answer to RE-ANIMATOR. THE SOULTANGLER tells the story of Dr. Anton Lupesky, a rabid genius who develops a drug that allows users to inhabit corpses . . . and embark on gore-soaked murder-sprees. Shot on 16mm in basements and garages by director Pat Bishow on Long Island, this is body horror bliss that’s filled with dreamlike imagery, wanton dismemberment, and an earnest devotion to storytelling in the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft.
