Hate Crime
Written and directed by James Cullen Bressack (Blood Craft, Bethany), Hate Crime is a violent found footage/home invasion film about racial hatred. It has been banned in the UK by the BBFC.
Writer/director James Cullen Bressack said:
“As a Jewish man and a victim of anti-Semitic hate, I made a horror film that depicts the very thing that haunts my dreams. As an artist, I wanted to tell a story to remind us that we live in a dangerous world, a world where racial violence is on the rise. It saddens me to learn that censorship is still alive and well.”
Hate Crime comes in a limited Mediabook edition with English language and French/Italian subs, and with behind the scenes, an audio commentary and the trailer are included in the bonus features.
Synopsis:
A Jewish family that just arrived in a new neighborhood is recording their youngest son’s birthday celebrations on video when their home is suddenly invaded by a bunch of neo-Nazi lunatics who want to humiliate, torture, and exterminate everyone.
