What is Hardware? Read on: Severin Films today announced the 10/13 release of the 1990 sci-fi/horror cult classic HARDWARE, the infamous feature film debut of music video visionary turned writer/director Richard Stanley (DUST DEVIL). Originally rated X by the MPAA and subsequently edited by distributor Miramax, HARDWARE will be presented uncut and uncensored for the first time ever from a print supplied by Stanley himself. In addition, the limited edition two-disc DVD and Blu-ray will include audio commentary, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and Stanley's never-before-seen hour-long Super 8 version of the film.

Golden Globe� winner Dylan McDermott (The Practice) stars as a post-apocalyptic scavenger who brings home a battered cyborg skull for his metal-sculptor girlfriend. But this steel scrap contains the brain of the M.A.R.K. 13, the military's most ferocious bio-mechanical combat droid. It is cunning, cruel, and knows how to reassemble itself. Tonight, it is reborn�and no flesh shall be spared. Stacey Travis (GHOST WORLD) co-stars � along with appearances by Iggy Pop, Lemmy of Mot�rhead and music by Ministry and Public Image Ltd. � in this kick-ass sci-fi thriller that New York Newsday hailed as "thought provoking and disturbing", and Fangoria still calls "gritty, trippy and frightening�HARDWARE is one of the best horror movies you've never seen."

"They say 'once in every generation a plague shall fall upon you'," says director Richard Stanley, "and so it is that after an absence of almost two decades I am proud to announce the second coming of HARDWARE to American shores in its full, savage, psychedelic, utterly unexpurgated and wholly unrated glory. We have relished working with Severin films and Norman Hill of Subversive Cinema � who oversaw the successful 2008 release of DUST DEVIL � to fully restore, remix and remaster HARDWARE for its first appearance on DVD and to provide the viewing public with an experience unlike anything they have ever seen before. You have been warned!"

"One of the most ferocious sci-fi/horror films of our time is long overdue for rediscovery," says Carl Daft, co-founder and CEO of Severin Films. "And to now be able to restore HARDWARE to Richard's original vision is an absolute honor. Furthermore, the scope and breadth of never-before-seen materials being supplied by Richard virtually guarantees that this will be one of the top genre discs of the year. This is what you want, this is what you get."
