Earlier this month we hit you with the news that Grindhouse Releasing would be bringing us Ruggero Deodato's controversial 1980 classic CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST to Blu-ray in the near future and now Grey Matter Art's Randy Ortiz has partnered with Grindhouse Releasing to create a limited edition poster for the film, and we've got your first look at these works of art below.
Via their official website:
Grey Matter Art is proud to announce, in partnership with Grindhouse Releasing, a limited edition screen print by artist Randy Ortiz for the iconic horror film “Cannibal Holocaust”. Released in 1980 and directed by Ruggero Deodato, the film is often referred to as “The most controversial movie ever made” and innovated the found footage style of narrative film making. This will be the first print release for Grey Matter Art, a new officially licensed poster company who are based out of New York.
Grindhouse Releasing is a Hollywood-based independent cult film distribution company headed up by acclaimed film editor Bob Murawski and co-founded by the late director/actor Sage Stallone. Bob Murawski was awarded the 2010 Academy Award, BAFTA, and A.C.E. Award for “Best Film Editing” on the feature film, THE HURT LOCKER, shared with co-editor and wife, Chris Innis. He often works with film director Sam Raimi, having edited ARMY OF DARKNESS and the first three original Columbia Pictures’ SPIDER-MAN films. Grindhouse Releasing focuses on the distribution of rare and little-seen independent cult and “exploitation films” and is considered the “Criterion” of horror film distribution, employing the highest standards for quality and deluxe bonus materials on their releases.
