Unearthing the Gruesome Truth: Unearthed Films to Release Director’s Cut of Confessions of a Serial Killer!

Unearthed Films, known for its boundary-pushing and controversial horror releases, has announced (quietly via their ‘Future Releases’ tab on their website) a new addition to its roster: a director’s cut of the obscure 1985 film Confessions of a Serial Killer. Directed by Mark Blair, the film tells the chilling story of Daniel Ray Hawkins (Robert A. Burns), who confesses to the brutal murder of over 200 women.

Despite its gritty and disturbing subject matter, Confessions of a Serial Killer has largely flown under the radar, overshadowed by more well-known films like John McNaughton’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. But Unearthed Films has unearthed this hidden gem, giving it a new lease on life with a director’s cut that has a runtime of just over 106 minutes with the original runtime being only 90 minutes.

What sets Confessions of a Serial Killer apart from other serial killer films is its raw and unflinching portrayal of Hawkins’ crimes, as well as its basis in real-life serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. The film is not for the faint of heart, but for fans of extreme horror, it’s a must-see.

In addition to the director’s cut, the release will include a commentary track and a documentary about Robert A. Burns and actor Rondo Hatton, entitled Rondo and Bob. While details are scarce at this point, Severed Cinema will keep readers updated on this exciting release.
