DVD Announcement: Psychos In Love
Streeting April 28 from Media Blaster’s genre arm Shriek Show comes Gorman Bechard’s PSYCHOS IN LOVE (1987) one of the most charming retro slashers to date – a slash-rom-com, and with a killer theme song to boot. What a pants tingler to see the original Wizard Video artwork is being used!
Joe (Carmine Capobianco) was a lonely psychotic killer. After all, it’s tough to find the right woman when you re compelled to murder them after a few dates. When Kate (Debi Thibeault) walked into Joe’s bar, she seemed perfect. She was gorgeous, she hated grapes. But each of them had a terrible secret: they were killers. Is that the kind of thing you can risk telling the one you love? They shared passion, they shared laughter, they shared a few little murders. But then they met Herman, a local plumber and part-time cannibal, and he wanted bodies. Kate and Joe are two young lovers just trying to make ends meet. And everyone they meet, meets the end pretty quickly. It s not Ozzie and Harriet, but it’s Psychos in Love!

Lots of special features. Definitely will be picking this one up. I saw this one time when I was younger and all I can remember is the lady saying “I fucking hate grapes!”
I’ve never seen this one. But I’ve always wanted to since I remember the video cover art as a kid, at our mom & pop video store. Then Blockbuster moved down the block, the mom & pop store closed, and I haven’t seen this movie since.
Now Blockbuster is close to going out of business & this movie reappears . . . hhhmmm.
