Arrow Video has announced the release of cult director Nico Mastorakis’s The Zero Boys on dual format DVD and Blu-ray on 25th April 2016. From the man behind such eclectic offerings as the controversial Island of Death and the Oliver Reed-starring actioner Hired to Kill, this genre-bending '80s classic features gruesome sequences that anticipate the torture porn horrors of Hostel and Saw.

This director approved edition come packed with exclusive bonus content including newly recorded interviews and with cast and filmmakers, alongside a commentary with star Kelli Maroney and the directors own inimitable take on the interview format, in which he interviews himself.

For a group of young friends, a weekend of survival games in the wilderness turns into a genuine battle of life and death when one of their number turns up dead. Finding themselves hunted by a bloodthirsty band of maniacs intent on slaughtering them one-by-one, the self-styled "Zero Boys" must now play their war games for real.

Starring Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet, Chopping Mall) and featuring an early score from the legendary Hans Zimmer (Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy), The Zero Boys mixes action, survival and all-out slasher movie elements in a thrilling horror yarn that falls somewhere between Friday the 13th and Deliverance.

The Zero Boys will be released on UK dual format (Blu-ray and DVD) by Arrow video on 25 April 2016 at the RRP of £24.99.
