Cannibal! The Musical is making its debut on Blu-ray from Refuse Films. Shot on 16mm film and edited on video, Cannibal! The Musical is presented in high definition for the first time on Blu-ray.

Written and directed by Trey Parker (co-creator of South Park), this release is limited to only 3,000 units, playable worldwide and includes an exclusive slipcover featuring the original 1997 key art.

Brand new special features include new audio commentary, cast interviews, never-before-seen deleted scenes approved by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, over three hours of raw BTS footage, the UK cut of Alferd Packer: The Musical, plus hours of archival material.

Producer Jason McHugh confirms that the original 16mm footage of Cannibal! The Musical was lost somewhere in Colorado in the late 90s. Refuse Films uncovered the original Betacam master tape from the Troma archives in New York.

Cannibal! The Musical has been blown up from the original master tape and manually remastered without AI technology. The new and exclusive Refuse Films high-definition transfer is approved by Cannibal! The Musical’s director of photography, Robert Muratore, and remastered by Mark Brindle of UK post-production company Maniac Films.

Refuse Films is also excited to announce the launch of its new boutique Blu-ray sub-label, the TromArchive Collection. This label intends to release 50 years of Tromatic excess from Troma’s film archives to the Blu-ray format.

In addition to the world Blu-ray premiere of Trey Parker's Cannibal! The Musical (1993), Series 1 of the TromArchive Collection, features special editions of Troma Team classics The Toxic Avenger (1984) and Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD (1990), both titles directed by Troma co-founders Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz.

Each TromArchive Collection Blu-ray title is limited to 3,000 units, playable worldwide and features an exclusive slipcover featuring original Tromatic poster art and new sleeve designs by renowned graphic illustrator Mila K.

edit: Cannibal! The Musical is also being released by Vinegar Syndrome.

That's not necessarily a bad reason.
