Human Capital.



In 1984, underground audiences began to discover American Nightmares, a shockingly grim no-budget feature from Staten Island, NY-based writer/producer/editor/director Buddy Giovinazzo. Cut by 8 minutes and released under the title Combat Shock, it became one of the essential cult films of the decade.
