Sam Raimi’s early wacky noir film Crimewave (also known as the XYZ murders) is available this week on Blu-ray. Crimewave, written by the Coen Brother tells the story of a pair of whacked-out cartoon-like exterminator/hitmen kill the owner of a burglar-alarm company, and stalk the partner who hired them, his wife, and a nerd framed for the murder, who tells the story in flashback from the electric chair. Features Bruce Campbell and Richard DeManincor. Crimewave is a really weird film and not for everyone except for Sam Raimi and Coen Brothers fans.
