From the Synapse blog:

"THE LONG LOST BELGIAN GORE/HORROR CLASSIC IS COMING TO DVD FROM SYNAPSE FILMS!

John Lucker is a deeply disturbed serial rapist and killer. Locked up in a clinic after committing eight murders (and keeping the bodies around for his own sexual pleasure after the people died!!!), Lucker manages to escape and flees to the city... searching for the one lone survivor of his previous killing spree. His disgusting rampage continues and more people die one by one. Lucker must find and kill the woman who escaped him the first time… and no one will get in his way!

In 1986, a young film school student named Johan Vandewoestijne shocked the film community in Belgium by creating one of the most disturbing, controversial and gory films to ever be released in that country. With little money and a love for the horror genre, Vandewoestijne won the hearts of horror fans worldwide with his little film called LUCKER THE NECROPHAGOUS. For many years, LUCKER was one of the most sought after and widely distributed films on the "grey market". Originally released only on VHS, LUCKER THE NECROPHAGOUS was distributed poorly. The original film materials were destroyed and LUCKER officially became a “lost” film for decades. Now, over 20 years later, director Vandewoestijne has created the ultimate version of his shocking masterpiece using the only existing video materials in his possession. Do you dare experience LUCKER THE NECROPHAGOUS for yourself?
