Unearthed Films has announced the latest addition to its “Too Extreme for Mainstream Line” (TEFM) collection, 29 Needles, which is now available on Blu-ray and DVD pre-order, but only 30 copies are available at this time.
Exploring such topics as sadism, masochism, and one man’s ready descent into his personal hell, 29 Needles has all of the brutal nastiness you’d expect from a TEFM title, with subversive and beautiful, yet truly disturbing scenes. In the film, Francis (Brooke Berry) uses pain to hold back his inner demons, but when this no longer works, his obsessions for pain and sex lead him into new territory.
Scott Philip Goergens, director, gallery owner, and artist had this to say, “My work is meant to challenge. To push the boundaries of what is conventionally comfortable and “normal”. 29 NEEDLES is meant to highlight aspects of the human condition in ways that evoke tones of anxiety, perversion, fear, and the things we do in our lives to combat them. The graphic imagery and shock are used for narrative purposes. When we sit in what is uncomfortable – we discover how we survive through them. This is what Francis does and so does the viewer as we follow his journey. 29 NEEDLES is psycho-sexual body horror, but more than anything is a character study.”
The film is described by Stephen Birao, Owner/CEO of Unearthed Films as, “the most extreme film,” he’s ever seen.
Extras on the new Unearthed Blu-ray and DVD feature a Director’s Commentary, The Making of 29 Needles, Outtakes, a photo gallery, and trailers from Unearthed Films. Each disc also comes with a bonus 11×17 poster of the cover of this brutal film. Pre-order is available until February 25, 2021, and then sales for the film will close. Due to the nature of Too Extreme for Mainstream films, these are not available through the usual commercial outlets.
