Adam Wingard's visionary psychedelic-horror film "Pop Skull and Matt Pizzolo's street-philosophy-infused ultraviolent polemic "Threat" hit mass market VOD and Cable On Demand this month.

According to distributors Halo-8 Entertainment and Gravitas Ventures, the films will be available starting September 1 (except as noted) on numerous carriers including AT&T U-Verse, Verizon Fios (starting Sept 11), Rogers (Canada), Mediacom, Suddenlink, Bresnan, DISH VOD, Blue Ridge, Wave, Click, Atlantic Broadband, Cincinnati Bell, Hargray, RCN, NTELOS, Frontier, HTC, and more.


POP SKULL depicts the lonely and disjointed life of Daniel, a young Alabama pill addict, as his efforts to cope with the trials of his day-to-day life collide with the increasing influence of murderous and displaced spirits that inhabit his home. Plagued by ghosts, Daniel discovers his home holds a secret to a grisly crime... a crime he's doomed to repeat if he can't prevail against the forces that haunt him.


THREAT is an award-winning, controversial urban thriller that earned its maverick filmmakers both accolades and condemnations for its heady brew of street philosophy and ultraviolence. White straightedge punk-rocker Jim and black hip-hop radical Fred become friends working dead-end jobs in NYC's Lower East Side, both of them with the hope that their newfound brotherhood will bring solidarity to their disparate communities. Instead, the alliance triggers a violent race riot that spills into the city streets with devastatingly tragic consequences.
