Colony Mutation arrives on Blu-ray in March from Visual Vengeance
Visual Vengeance is releasing Colony Mutation (1995) on Blu-ray this March, presenting Tom Berna’s rarely seen Super 8 body horror feature in a new 2K restoration supervised by the director.
Film Overview
When genetic scientist Meredith Weaver finds out about her husband’s affair, she doses him with an experimental and very unstable serum, which causes his body parts to separate from his torso and take on monstrous lives of their own, all of them now craving human flesh. Soon, he’s stalking the streets in search of young women to quench the now insatiable hunger of his evil appendages.
Tom Berna’s rarely seen, stop-motion heavy Super 8mm body horror plays out like an alternate universe Lifetime movie directed by David Cronenberg that delivers both the gruesome FX set pieces but also serves a cautionary tale of male sexual addiction and unchecked passion.
