The Sleeper (2012) Official Blu Ray Re-Release from Scream Team Releasing-Fitz of Horror

Written by Bryan Fitzgerald (Fitz of Horror) July 25, 2018

Synopsis: It’s 1981 and the girls of Alpha Gamma Theta sorority are having a party. Amy, sick of living in the dorms, invites her roommate Ava to attend the party with her in hopes that they’ll both become Thetas. As the girls arrive, so does an uninvited guest watching them in the shadows. Amy’s choice quickly becomes a nightmare as the Theta girls begin to disappear one by one. Announcing his victims, the killer calls the house whispering the next to die. The police hunt for the missing girls and the killer, but will they find him in time? Or will all the girls sleep for good?

For those of you that follow my Fitz of Horror page, you have probably seen the contest, review or the tons of love I have for The Sleeper but if you missed it the first time read my review HERE.

Justin Russell’s The Sleeper is a throwback 80s style slasher movie that is nearly indistinguishable from actual 80s slasher films. If you like Black Christmas, The Prowler, Slumber Party Massacre or any of the great 80s slasher movies then you will love The Sleeper. It features a stellar cast of now familiar faces that include Joe Bob Briggs, Jessica Cameron, Tiffany Arnold and Jason Jay Crabtree to name a few and also has a killer soundtrack.

I already own the blu ray and it is amazing! It has the remastered blu ray disc and the second disc is the “Lost VHS” version and also features reversible artwork.

Blu rays are shipping now from screamteamreleasing.com
