Weir's ultra-obscure Aussie TV-movie, "The Plumber", coming on 10/21...
...on a double bill with The Cars that Ate Paris.
The Plumber is an extremely bizarre gem about a "crack" dealer
(Plumber) who comes to fix the pipes in a couple's apartment, only to find excuses to continue coming back for more "repairs". I haven't seen this one in ages, but I have fond memories of it. The twist ending is quite clever, as the screenplay opts for counter-scheming instead of the expected violence.

Oh for crying out loud, I just got the R2 of The Cars That Ate Paris last week!
Oh well. It still pleases me, I suppose. I have seen The Plumber also, very very long ago, and remember it being good.

I think it's Home Vision which means they'll both look really good.

Home Vision is the studio.
I think I picked up this release info from Fangoria's "Chopping List", but I can't provide a link as the website seems to be down at the moment.
