THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE

BASED ON THE TRUE CRIME STORY THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD

Academy Award nominee Linda Blair stars in this Ozploitation shocker based on the real-life Chelmsford Hospital horror that led to 24 deaths, stunned ’80s Australia and rocked the world of mental healthcare forever: A new nurse (Blair) arrives at a private clinic and discovers that the renowned resident psychiatrist is treating short-term patients with a combination of coma-like sedation and electroconvulsive therapy. But when these unorthodox procedures trigger dozens of tragedies, she’ll risk her own life to expose decades of malpractice and murder. Tony Bonner (SUDDEN TERROR, THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER) co-stars in this still-potent true crime chiller directed by Alec Mills (BLOODMOON) from a screenplay by Michael Rymer (QUEEN OF THE DAMNED) with a score by Brian May (THE ROAD WARRIOR, PATRICK), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by StudioCanal.
