THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE OF BOTH THE THEATRICAL & EXTENDED VERSIONS OF THE '80s CANUXPLOITATION SHOCKERFrom co-directors Paul Donovan and Maura O'Connell (DEFCON-4) comes one of the most disturbing - and rarely-seen - Canadian shockers of the '80s, inspired by the actual 42-day Halifax police strike: When a local group of right-wing vigilantes massacres the patrons of a gay bar, the sole survivor seeks refuge in a nearby apartment building whose residents must now defend themselves in a night of hate, terror and bloodshed. Doug Lennox (BREAKING POINT), Tom Nardini (CAT BALLOU), Jack Blum (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME) and Keith Knight (MY BLOODY VALENTINE) star in this ‘dark and intense thriller, still uncomfortably relevant 35 years after it was made’ (Blog Of Horror) - released in the U.S. as SELF DEFENSE - scanned in 2K from the original negative recently discovered in a Nova Scotia archive.BONUS MATERIALSAudio Commentary with Co-Director Paul Donovan & Filmmaker Jason EisenerTrailer Review TOTALLY UNIQUE AND TRULY DISTURBING...

    • Classic Canuxploitation!
Directed and co-written by Paul Donovan alongside co-writer Maura O’Connell, 1983’s Siege (also known as Self Defense) is a Canadian thriller that uses the real life 1981 Halifax police strike as the backdrop. The story revolves around a vigilante hate group calling themselves New Order. They burst into a gay bar and start intimidating patrons and the owner. When the owner dies by accident, the group’s leader Cabe is called in to deal with the situation. He murders everyone so that there are no witnesses, but one bar patron manages to escape. The patron hides out in an apartment building which soon finds itself under siege from New Order. Clearly inspired by the likes of Assault On Precinct 13 and other grindhouse fare, the little seen Siege is a gritty, intense Canuxploitation thriller that sadly still feels relevant in this day and age with its depictions of hate groups, homophobia, gun violence, and lawlessness. I won’t spoil the ending but that too is eerily timely. As a thriller, the movie is supremely effective. Director Paul Donovan wastes absolutely no time whatsoever in the tight 84 minute runtime. I wish more movies were as fast paced, focused, and filler free as Siege to be honest. As riveting as “Siege” is on screen, I will say the acting isn’t the best - which is fine, of course. Aside from Doug Lennox as the creepy Cabe, there’s a lot of cheesy acting on display. Sure, you have some cult movie vets like Keith Knight, Jack Blum and Dennis O’Connor, but everyone’s pretty rough around the edges. Luckily, it doesn’t detract from the movie since the material is so effective on its own. Video/Audio: Presentation: 1.85:1 1080p. Scanned in 2K from the original negative, this print is shockingly crisp (especially for an 80’s movie). A satisfactory Mono track. Extras: Siege trailer The 93 minute extended cut. Commentary by writer and co-director Paul Donovan and filmmaker Jason Eisener. ... show more

    • Buy the Blu-Ray
First off, incredible movie. Low budget, bad acting, great dialogue, lots of violence. I was hooked, a very fun watch. Don't make the mistake I made though by buying the DVD. This version is cut and is missing 10 minutes from the beginning of the movie. Shell out the extra cash and buy the Blu-Ray if you want to see the complete version of the film. The DVD is a total waste. ... show more

Review Image by Free Kittens Movie Guide
Sometimes you gotta admire a movie’s can-do spirit, even when the filmmakers obviously lack the budget to fulfill their ambitions. Siege is an early film written & co-directed by Paul Donovan, who went on to earn a bit of notoriety outside his native Canada with Def-Con 4 and the sci-fi series, LEXX. The film’s protagonists are protecting themselves against an ongoing attack by heavily-armed thugs. In this case, it’s a hate group calling itself the “New Order,” who decide to establish their own set of fascist rules during a citywide police strike, which includes rousting a gay bar. When they accidentally kill the owner, the leader decides the witnesses should all die. However, one of them, Chester (Daryl Haney), escapes and finds refuge in a nearby apartment building. When the half-dozen tenants - fronted by de facto leader Horatio (Tom Nardini), - refuse to turn him over, the New Order begin their attack, which comprises a majority of the narrative. It’s a solid premise, though often hampered by its overall smallness. From the get-go, it’s obvious Donovan & friends lacked even Carpenter’s meager financial resources to convincingly pull-off an action movie. Still, the film isn’t without merit. It’s conceptually simple, yet intelligently written. There are stupid characters, of course, but only because the story necessitates them, not because they’re written stupidly. So despite the pedestrian performances, low-wattage action and anemic special effects (including the sound), Siege is an interesting curio. Not entirely successful, the film is nevertheless a result of sheer determination, budget be damned. And though it’s highly doubtful anyone involved was forward-thinking enough to concern themselves with posterity, certain thematic aspects of the film remain surprisingly relevant. ... show more
