SEPTIC MAN NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD IN THE UK!
“There’s a new cult hero in town and he’s covered in sh*t, p*ss, vomit, blood, pus, and whatever other foulness lurks in the sewage system.” – Complex Magazine
From the writer of acclaimed indie zombie hit Pontypool comes a gross-out horror satire in the same vein as The Toxic Avenger and Wolf Cop. Directed by Monster Brawl director Jesse T. Cook and produced by John Geddes (Exit Humanity), Septic Man is the latest disgusting offering from the team behind the cream of the current wave of Canadian indie horror.
Synopsis: When a small town’s water supply becomes contaminated, causing violent, projectile eruptions from the townsfolk, it’s up to trusty plumber Jack to resolve the situation. But in the deep, dank sewers, Jack is not alone… after discovering the terrible secret behind the contamination – a mass of rotting corpses – he is pursued by the monstrous killers that created this mess. All the while the fetid, toxic contents of the sewer are morphing him into a hideous monster…

About director Jesse Thomas Cook: Jesse T. Cook and his school friends John Geddes and Matt Wiele formed Foresight Features in a small town just outside of Toronto. They produced a number of genre titles including Exit Humanity and Hellmouth before reaching out to Pontypool writer Tony Burgess. The genesis for Septic Man came about in the initial meeting between the two parties when Burgess clogged Cook’s toilet, leading to jokes about a film where the protagonist was trapped in a septic tank. Despite the questionable decision to serve chocolate pudding at its screening, Septic Man won Best Actor Award for lead Jason David Brown at Fantastic Fest.
