The ’90s DIY Cult Sensation Now Remastered On DVD For The First Time EverIn 1994, aspiring Niagara, Ontario filmmaker Erica Benedikty was working part-time at a community cable cha nnel. Over the course of a year – and aided by a dedicated team of friends, volunteers and fellow film rebels – she wrote, produced, directed and edited a wildly ambitious, feature-length sci-fi action thriller for only $250. But when she convinced her employers to broadcast the finished film, PHOBE became a local sensation, was invited to screen at festivals, and remains one of Canada’s most infamous cult hits. Intervision is proud to present Benedikty’s ultra low-budget epic – complete with impressive visual FX, Roman candle pyrotechnics, alien predators, light saber battles and space cops with mullets – now fully remastered with all-new Special Features that reveal the strange, inspire and sometimes tragic story behind this near- impossible DIY triumphSpecial Features:Audio commentary by writer/director Erica Benedikty, moderated by Paul Corupe (Canuxploitation.com) and Peter Kuplowsky (Laser Blast Film Society)Director Erica Benedikty’s first feature-length movie, BACK IN BLACKThe Making of PHOBE: A documentary on the creation of the film and it’s continuing legacyQ&A with cast and crew following home town screening in St. Catharines, OntarioOriginal FX shots from 1995 broadcast version of PHOBEOuttakesGribble Hell Performs Phobe Theme Show more
