Rapture Adrenaline is a new 120-minute film by James Ferraro.

It’s out this week, via Hundebiss Records, on VHS video cassette in PAL format, limited to 150 copies and housed in a card slip-case (artwork pictured above). We’d be lying if we said we’d seen it, so we’ll let the good people at Glasgow’s Volcanic Tongue summarise the plot:

Not sure if this is the full-length movie that James was working on during his Hollywood retreat but it’s based in ‘crime-ridden’ Rochester, New York, in the near future and centres on a police officer who is brutally murdered and subsequently recreated as a super-human cyborg. The main plot of the movie revolves around a ‘Bug’ (code word for a member of an alien species that is similar in many ways to a very large cockroach) searching for a miniature galaxy which is also a vast energy source.

“Acid Eagle’ is the president of Hell-TV (Channel 83, Cable 12) a sleazy television station specialising in sensationalistic programming. Displeased with his station’s current lineup (which mostly consists of softcore pornography), Professor Pizza is on a seemingly endless quest for something that isn’t so ‘soft’ and will ‘break through’ to a new audience. The rescue turns out to be fake; the two climbers are taken prisoner by a group of ruthless thieves. The driver is now a hostage trapped by his own seatbelt. However, the robot becomes smarter and more dangerous as it plays putting the boy and his friends in mortal danger. In addition to being an action film, the movie includes larger themes regarding the media, resurrection, gentrification, corruption and human nature.”

Could this be the most hypnagogic product ever made? Hundebiss seem to think so, describing it as “a virtual videogame car chase through the veins of hyperreality seen through fragments of US movies – mostly produced in the 1990s and diffracted by the euro-lens of Dutch subtitling and French dubbing.”

They add: “To achieve optimal melting these fragments have been transferred from tapes, DVDs and computer files to VHS.”
