Klubb Super 8 is a Swedish independent research outfit/film archive/film club/film distribution company dedicated to Swedish exploitation Cinema that has been operational for almost 25 years, releasing films on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray. Klubb Super 8 also owns the subsidiary Cultpix.com, a global streaming platform focused on vintage exploitation/genre/cult movies from around the world. Sweden's first feature film shot on video (U-matic), is also Sweden's only slasher movie. The overall-clad hemophiliac "The Bleeder" is roaming the abandoned estate of Byfors, blood pouring from his eyes. The all-girl band Rock Cats (real-life band Revanch) have engine trouble with their tour bus in the middle of the woods. Guess where they end up? Hans Hatwig is the legendary editor of the hugely successful Swedish pop magazines Poster (1974-1980) and Okej (1980-1989). He photographed the bands himself, and got Gene Simmons from KISS to pose with a poster for The Bleeder in his mouth, fueling the rumor that Simmons played the lead character, a clever PR trick by the enterprising Hatwig. The Bleeder is actually played by Åke Eriksson, one of Sweden's best drummers, known from bands like Attack, Bedlam and Wasa Express. directed by: Hans Hatwig starring: Åke Eriksson, Sussi Ax, Eva Danielsson, Mia Hansson, Maria Landberg, Agneta Öhlund, Eva Pettersson, Dan Stråhed, Antonio Di Ponziani, Bror Strandberg 1982 / 87 min / 1.66:1 / Swedish DTS-HD MA 1.0 Additional info: Region Free Blu-ray Location Scouting at Ryfors Herrgård 1981 Interviews with Cast and Crew 2005 Reunion with Revanch, Hans Hatwig and video tech "Lärkan" at Ryfors Estate 2005 Hans Hatwig & Åke Eriksson, Sala 2023 Deleted Scenes & Bloopers Gallery Behind-the-Scenes Book with Photos English, Swedish subtitles
