In Robert McGinley’s film, SHREDDER ORPHEUS, the Greek myth is reimagined as a post-apocalyptic skateboard rock opera—a low budget hallucination that drops somewhere between the music video for Devo’s “Whip It,” a Bones Brigade skate tape, and a surrealist art project.  The story follows Orpheus, a rock star who descends to hell in order to save his kidnapped wife (and the universe) from Satan and his hypnotic TV signals.

Author David Irons brings even more depth and insanity in the official novelization based off of the original script.
