The SOV feature film debut from the visionary, Memphis based, punkabilly provocateur John Michael McCarthy (Teenage Tupelo, Sore Losers). Damselvis, Daughter of Helvis heralded the arrival of a singular and eccentric new voice in the lawless landscape of ‘90s underground film. Featuring performances by Sherry Lynn Garris (Gore Whore) & the enigmatic ‘90s scream queen Ghetty Chasun (Red Lips), special FX makeup by Robert Gann (Basket Case 2), and videography by SOV legend Hugh Gallagher (Gorotica), Damselvis is a subversive, southern fried eruption of religious satire, uninhibited nudity, punk rock attitude, and 20th century pop culture iconography. Saturn’s Core is proud to present Damselvis, Daughter of Helvis in its first ever director approved, disc debut marking its return to physical media for the first time since its initial, scarce VHS release in 1994.
