On this week’s episode of Decayed Tapes, we’re wrapping our Gary P. Cohen marathon up with his final feature-length SOV production: CAPTIVES! Originally butchered by Majestic Home Video and released under the title MAMA’S HOME in 1988, this movie has it all: bigamy, home invasions, arson, dogs drowned in fish tanks, gratuitous cocaine abuse, incestual relationships, Max Headroom posters, rude paperboys, and even baby-smothering. There’s something for everybody in this one.
