Sweatshop, director Stacy Davidson's ode to old violent school slashers, is finally coming to DVD in an unrated North American edition on September 13th, courtesy Screen Media Films.
Synopsis:
In Sweatshop, Charlie and her friends break into an abandoned warehouse to set up the biggest rave they've ever thrown. Little do they know, an enormous, hulking beast lurks in the shadows - filled with rage and brandishing a pulverizing foundry hammer. It isn't long before the kids are in a fight for their lives against this behemoth and his ghoulish minions, who will stop at nothing to snuff them out, one-by-one.
Packed with the latest industrial music by Android Lust and Lucid Dementia, featuring a sexy cast of up-and-coming talent (including Psychic Experiment's Peyton Wetzel and The Final's Julin), Sweatshop is more than just an homage to the slasher films of the 70s and 80s that inspired it.

Sweatshop
Stars: Ashley Kay, Peyton Wetzel, Brent Himes, Melanie Donihoo | Written by Stacy Davidson, Ted Geoghegan | Directed by Stacy Davidson
Now before I start this review I have to be honest, my review disc of Sweatshop completely stopped working after just under an hour so I have no idea how the film ends and no doubt I’ve missed out on some gory action, but on the plus side, never have I ever been so glad a DVD stopped working!
What I did see was some of the most inept amateur-hour acting I’ve seen in quite some time in a movie that sees a bunch of disposable teens setting up an underground “techno-goth” party in an abandoned warehouse (cliches ahoy!). As the teens attentions drift away from the party-planning they pair off in search of more intimate pursuits (told you it was cliched), but amidst their cries of passion...
