My Crepitus (I Never Left the White Room) [Blu-ray]

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!*
Travel through the depths of a deranged mind and experience first hand the violent hallucinations of an incarcerated psychiatric patient. Trapped within the confines of his white cell, Jeffrey Prior (Michael Todd Schneider) struggles with his deteriorating grasp on reality while his psychiatrist, Dr. Nathaniel Beck (Eric James), tries to unravel the secrets behind his daughter’s brutal rape and murder.
The SOV directorial debut from the notoriously transgressive, Pittsburgh based writer / director Michael Todd Schneider aka magGot (August Underground’s Mordum, The Profane Exhibit, …and Then I Helped), MY CREPITUS is a hypnotic and surreal, lo-fi analog fever dream that seemlessly collides at the intersection of extreme underground gore and experimental video art. Like a cursed transmission from an abhorrent alien universe, MY CREPITUS is a gore-drenched amalgamation of Inland Empire, Begotten, and Alien Beasts set to an abrasive and disorienting cacophony of sound which Rue Morgue magazine described as “akin to smashing your teeth into the coffee table for ninety minutes”. Saturn’s Core is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of magGot’s grimy and hallucinatory masterpiece with this ultimate, director supervised Blu-Ray set which presents MY CREPITUS in multiple cuts, it’s prequel short A Tribute to Sanity, and over 14 hours of special features (on 2 discs) including two feature length documentaries plus countless featurettes, commentaries, and short films which serve as a comprehensive chronicle of both the birth and consequent burgeoning of Schneider’s magGot Films imprint.
