SYNOPSIS
The “mortal” world faces imminent destruction when Hades unleashes an evil television signal that corrupts and kills its viewers. These hypnotic broadcasts from the Euthanasia Broadcast Network are welcomed by the masses-except skate board guitar rocker ORPHEUS and his band the SHREDDERS who can see through this unholy scheme.
To save the world and rescue his kidnapped wife, Orpheus must penetrate this nefarious underworld and free the television airwaves. Armed with a futuristic guitar and a paranormal skateboard, Orpheus descends a parking garage to Hell and makes his way onto the live broadcast stage.
SHREDDER ORPHEUS is an amusing and critically acclaimed film that cleverly combines skate pop music, dark humor and skateboarding action into a wild ride.
