Todd Sheets’ Infamous SOV Epic Violent New Breed — Coming to Blu-ray

Coming January 20th, 2026


TODD SHEETS’ 1997 SOV APOCALYPTIC EPIC AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON BLU-RAY FROM VISUAL VENGEANCE

A vicious new street drug called Rapture is flooding New York City, and two burned-out cops are sent to trace its source. What they don’t know is that the poison was cooked up by an army of demons festering beneath Manhattan, creatures who have also birthed the Antichrist! Now it’s a race through sleaze-soaked streets with Satan’s spawn in tow, hoping to deliver the hell-baby to the last Pastor in the city (blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore) for a baptism before it unleashes hell on earth.

The most ambitious, unpredictable effort from SOV auteur Todd Sheets, Violent New Breed swings for the fences, weaving clashing storylines, a sprawling cast, and Sheets’ trademark splatter and monster effects. Featuring drug deals, crooked cops, strip clubs, rituals, possessed kids and slimy births, the film channels the late-80s “satanic panic” and mixes it with Sheets’ raw camcorder fury and homemade charm, creating a cracked vision of a post-apocalyptic world that plays like a summer blockbuster from another dimension.

Featuring over 12 hours of new and archival bonus content including four versions of the film.
