Death Game, the inspiration for Eli Roth’s Knock Knock, is coming to Blu-ray

Six years ago, director Eli Roth brought us a movie called Knock Knock (watch it HERE), which was inspired by the 1977 psychological thriller Death Game. If you’re interested in seeing where those Knock Knock ideas came from, Grindhouse Releasing has you covered: they are now accepting pre-orders for a 2-disc Deluxe Edition Blu-ray release of Death Game and you can pick up a copy at THIS LINK.

Here’s some information on the release:

Grindhouse Releasing is proud to present the ultimate 1970s psychological thriller. John Cassavetes veteran Seymour Cassel stars as George Manning, a family man whose perfect life is turned into a nightmare of sex and torture when he allows himself to be seduced by two nubile young strangers (Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp) who show up at his door on a rainy night. Considered lost for many decades, DEATH GAME is being presented for for the first time on home video in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio, meticulously restored in 4K from the original camera negative.

The discs will include the following special features:

Spectacular new 4K restoration created from the original camera negative

Provocative, in-depth interviews with cult movie legend Colleen Camp (GAME OF DEATH, APOCALYPSE NOW) and director Peter Traynor, conducted by Eli Roth

Additional interviews with co-star Sondra Locke, producer Larry Spiegel, cinematographer/editor David Worth, and screenwriter Michael Ronald Ross

Audio commentaries by Colleen Camp & Eli Roth, and Larry Spiegel & David Worth

24-page full-color booklet with rare photos and liner notes

Extensive still galleries

Beautiful embossed slipcover with new art by esteemed painter Dave Lebow
