Troma Entertainment is pleased to announce that the limited edition blu-ray release of FATHER’S DAY in time for Father’s Day will now be a four-disc set! The set, which will contain the film on high definition blu-ray and standard definition DVD, plus a DVD of extra features, and a CD soundtrack EP with songs from the movie including “The Hunter” and “We Are the Universe” from acclaimed musician Smokey Miles, will be available June 12.

The gritty, gruesome, VHS throwback FATHER’S DAY follows that classic story we all grew up with: boy watches father raped and murdered, boy grows into a vengeful one-eyed man, man teams up with a priest and a male prostitute to take down his father’s killer. Variety calls FATHER’S DAY “a gleefully tasteless quasi-grindhouse nasty that’s funnier than most of the many such parodic cheesefests that have been created since, well, Grindhouse!” Ain’t it Cool News adds “FATHER’S DAY is over the top, tasteless, senseless, and completely hilarious.”  For more on FATHER’S DAY, including information on filmmakers Astron-6, visit www.thefathersdaymovie.com.
