Like its Canuxploitation series sister feature Deadline, Oliver Stone’s directorial debut features a horror writer living through his own terrifying subject material. Though its theatrical release in the U.S. was limited – only playing on New York’s 42nd Street – by 2014 it got a DVD and Blu-ray transfer from Scorpion Releasing, whose Instagram bio states that their “business is bringing cult classics to Blu-ray… and business is booming!” Or maybe it isn’t, seeing as their last post was for a Blu-ray release of DeSade in March 2022. In any case, Seizure! screens in beautiful DCP at still-booming cult film supporter AFS Cinema, giving everyone in Austin a taste of star Jonathan Frid’s intoxicating nightmares. – James Scott
