Dark Arts Entertainment, the powerhouse behind cult horror classics like Re-Animator and Return of the Living Dead 3, is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of the mystery/thriller Zyzzyx Road on 4K UHD/Blu-ray and DVD. Set for release on November 26, this 2-disc Collector’s Edition will allow fans to experience the film like never before.
Co-founded by horror legends Brian Yuzna and John Penney, Dark Arts Entertainment brings this highly anticipated release to life, making it a must-see for genre enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Notable for being the lowest-grossing film in US history when it was initially released in 2006, Zyzzyx Road grossed $30 (not a typo) on its opening weekend. The film was written, produced, and directed by John Penney and stars Katherine Heigl, Leo Grillo, and Tom Sizemore.
The film tells the story of an illicit affair between an accountant locked in an unhappy marriage and a seductive Las Vegas beauty who leads them both down a dangerous path. Grant (Leo Grillo) loves his daughter, but can’t stand the sight of his wife. Determined to make a killing in Las Vegas, he heads into a local casino and crosses paths with Marissa (Katherine Heigl).
Before long, the pair are back in Grant’s hotel room, where things quickly get hot and heavy. But it all goes wrong when Marissa’s violent ex-boyfriend Joey (Tom Sizemore) crashes through the door in a fit of rage.
When the smoke clears, Joey is dead. Determined not to spend the rest of their lives in prison, Grant and Marissa plot to bury the body on Zyzzyx Road. When the corpse goes missing, the couple starts to question whether Joey was ever really dead in the first place.
They get their answer when Joey mysteriously reappears, resuming the fight under the dark desert sky. Eventually the two brawlers realize they’ve been drawn into a mystery where no one can be trusted, and each move could be their last.
Bonus features include:
- The Legacy of Zyzzyx Road featurette
- New introductions, commentaries and interviews
- Archival behind-the-scenes featurettes
