MEET MANBORG – CYBORG OF DESTRUCTION! OUT ON DVD 7TH JANUARY 2013

FESTIVAL FAVOURITE $1000 MANBORG TO SHOW AT 5 UK FILM FESTIVALS

Following rave reviews after it premiered at this years London Sci-Fi Film Festival, creative cult classic in the making Manborg is out on DVD 7th January 2013.

The brainchild of 70s and 80s film fanatic Steve Kostanski, Manborg is the result of three years of committed work by a team of retro b-film enthusiasts on an eye-wateringly small budget of $1000.

Created, according to Canadian director Kostanski, “on an almost non- existent budget... and a creative use of free stuff (in other words, digging through dumpsters)” Manborg fuses the grungy aesthetic of the classic VHS with Kostanski’s passion for sci-fi and action movies with “cool covers”.

With a cast of unknown actors, and happily willing volunteers, Manborg is set in the future where Nazi demons led by the nefarious Count Draculon and his minions rise from the bowels of Hell and take over the planet. A rag tag group of rebels fight back but their rebellion is effectively crushed, leaving nothing but scorched earth on which the Hellions plan to build their new world. After a personal confrontation with the Count, a soldier is blasted into oblivion only to awake in the dark future to find most of his body replaced with cybernetic enhancements. A mysterious inventor has turned his bloodied remains into Manborg, cyborg of destruction.

Kostanski lists The Eliminators, I Come In Peace, Robot Jox, Guyver 2: Dark Hero, Starcrash, Judge Dredd, Spawn, The Keep, Captain America 1990, Nemesis, Cyborg “and about a million other” cult classics as his inspiration for Manborg – a homage to ‘80s action heroes like none other!
