After his successes with THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and THE HILLS HAVE EYES, Wes Craven took to a small Amish-like town to give us DEADLY BLESSING, which is receiving a Deluxe Edition Blu-ray and DVD release on 25th March courtesy of Arrow Video. DEADLY BLESSING stars Ernest Borgnine, genre fave Michael Berryman, and one of the earliest performances from Sharon Stone. Maren Jensen stars as Martha, a woman who moves with her husband to a community run by people known as Hittie (a group even more hardcore than the Amish), Martha is met with disrespect from the Hittie and things take a turn for the worse when her husband is killed by a tractor.
The Blu-ray/DVD combo will include a High-Definition Transfer (1080p) and a Standard Definition DVD. Extras are bountiful and include a commentary from Wes Craven, interviews with Craven and Michael Berryman, and an interview with screenwriter Glenn M. Benest. Like many Arrow Video releases there is also a reversible DVD cover and a booklet with notes from film writer Kim Newman.
DEADLY BLESSING is released 25th March 2013.
