"On March 23rd, 88 Films is bringing the censor-baiting, power-tool massacre HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS to Blu-ray in the UK.

For this very special uncut release, we are happy to confirm that our Blu-ray will include the UK debut of the legendary physical-fitness fear-comedy LINNEA QUIGLEY'S HORROR WORKOUT! Please note that due to contractual reasons HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS is required to be region locked."






"On April 20th, 88 Films is proud to rescue Arthur Penn's masterclass in psycho-stalker suspense DEAD OF WINTER from the vaults! Making its worldwide HD debut, and starring Mary Steenburgen and Roddy McDowall, this tense bout of seasonal scares was released to critical acclaim back in 1987 and hasn't had a UK bow since rental shops were en vogue! Aiming for a more highbrow crowd than the many FRIDAY THE 13th spin-offs of the period, DEAD OF WINTER is nonetheless an essential example of the genre and we are thrilled to bring it to our Slasher Classics Collection!"

Network

Release Date: 23rd March 2015

Format: Blu-ray

Starring: Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch

Directed by: Sidney Lumet


Synopsis: "I WILL BE RETIRING FROM THIS PROGRAMME IN TWO WEEKS TIME BECAUSE OF POOR RATINGS."


"In 1976 two of the key players in the Golden Age of Television, writer Paddy Chayefsky and director Sidney Lumet, delivered a coruscating attack at once savage and hilarious on the medium that made their names."


"SINCE THIS SHOW IS THE ONLY I HAD GOING FOR ME IN MY LIFE, IVE DECIDED TO KILL MYSELF."


"To speak Chayefskys Oscar-winning dialogue, Lumet enlisted a powerhouse cast list, including Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch (as the mad prophet of the airwaves Howard Beale), Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty and Beatrice Straight. Five of them would be nominated for Academy Awards, three would win. Straight. Five of them would be nominated for Academy Awards, three would win."


"IM GOING TO BLOW MY BRAINS OUT RIGHT ON THIS PROGRAMME A WEEK FROM TODAY."


"As well as its four Oscars, Network was also garlanded with a quartet of Golden Globes, a BAFTA and numerous other awards. In the years since its release, its reputation has only grown: the Library of Congress granted it a place on their prestigious National Film Registry; the American Film Institute named it as one of the greatest American films of all time; and the Writers Guild of America declared it screenplay one of the ten best of all time. It remains a true classic."


"SO TUNE IN NEXT TUESDAY."

Shishido is the rival waiting to kill him and a young Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood) is the girl caught in the crossfire."

Synopsis: "ITS ALL ABOUT FITTING IN."


"After producing Stuart Gordons hit Re-Animator, Brian Yuzna (Bride of Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead III) turned his hand to directing with 1989s Society, and gave birth to one of the ickiest, most original body horror shockers of all time."


"Teenager Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock) has always felt like the odd one out in his wealthy, upper-class Beverly Hills family. For some reason, he just doesnt seem to fit in. But his sense of alienation takes a sinister turn when he overhears a surreptitious audio recording of his sisters coming-out party, which seems to implicate his family and others in a bizarre, ritualistic orgy. And then there are the strange things hes been seeing glimpses of people with their bodies contorted impossibly out of shape Is Billy going mad or is there something seriously amiss in his neighbourhood?"


"Packing stomach-churning grue and thought-provoking social commentary in equal measure, Society is a biting horror satire which culminates in one of the most leftfield, gag-inducing climaxes in all of horror history just dont eat beforehand!"

Island of Death

Release Date: 25th May 2015

Region: Free

Format: Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD

Starring: Robert Behling, Jane Lyle, Jessica Dublin

Directed by: Nico Mastorakis


Synopsis: "THE LUCKY ONES GOT THEIR BRAINS BLOWN OUT!!"


"Welcome to Mykonos, the holiday destination of choice for sun, sea and slaughter! From cult director Nico Mastorakis, Island of Death is a travelogue of atrocities with scenes so strong that the British Government was once compelled to ban it as a video nasty."


"Arriving on the idyllic Greek island, Christopher and Celia appear to be every inch the perfect, handsome young couple. Little do the welcoming locals realise that they are in fact a pair of murderous degenerates, determined to spread their own particular brand of perversion across the island. DIY crucifixions, opportunistic bestiality, sexual peeing and murder by all conceivable forms ensue including death by makeshift blowtorch, samurai sword, dump truck and more!"


"Shocking, brutal and totally politically incorrect in its outlook, Island of Death is a gruelling cinematic experience devised by director Mastorakis to out-do the excesses of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which he was hugely inspired by. Now fully uncut and newly-restored from the original negative, fans can enjoy Island of Death in all its sleazy, lurid glory."

"Were pleased to premiere the newly-commissioned artwork for both Collectors Editions of SLEEPAWAY CAMP II & III – both which will release on 6/9. Since artist Nathan Thomas Milliner created the well-received art for our original Sleepaway Camp release last year, we naturally went to him to design its sequels so that the trilogy would have a similar creative aesthetic to them."


"As fans know, Parts 2 & 3 are really over-the-top with lots of humor (intentional and unintentional) and we wanted to have as much with that and exploit that comedy visually. We hope you agree that its hard not to smile when you see these. For those wondering, reverse art on will be included and will sport the 80s VHS covers we all remember."


"A full list of extras and specs will be announced at the later date."






"The Underrated 1989 horror-thriller I, MADMAN will be coming to the Scream Factory family sometime this year!Directed by Tibor Takacs (The Gate), the film stars Jenny Wright (Near Dark, The Lawnmower Man) and Clayton Rohner (April Fools Day, Just One of the Guys)."

UK/US release for June... Contamination!


Release Date: 29th June 2015

Region: A+B/1+2

Format: Dual Format Blu-ray + DVD

Starring: Ian McCulloch, Louise Marleau, Marino Masé

Directed by: Luigi Cozzi


Synopsis:


"Branded as a video nasty in the UK, director Luigi Cozzis Contamination takes the premise of Ridley Scotts classic Alien and peppers it with exploding guts galore and a dangerously infectious soundtrack from celebrated Italian prog-rockers Goblin (Deep Red, Suspiria)."


"A cargo ship drifts up the Hudson River. Its crew: all dead, their bodies horribly mutilated, turned inside out by an unknown force. Its freight: boxes upon boxes of glowing, pulsating green eggs. It soon becomes clear that these eggs are not of this planet, and someone intends to cultivate them here on Earth. But who? And to what end?"


"Starring Italian horror veteran Ian McCulloch (Zombie Flesh Eaters), Contamination is an ultra-violent sci-fi epic that really gets under the skin. In space, no one can hear you scream but on Earth, the terror rings loud and clear!"

"The New Action Classic from the Director of GUN WOMAN Finally Comes to Blu-ray from Synapse Films!"


" A masterpiece of kitsch Its so astonishing; you cant take your eyes off it Its pure genius! – Chopstick Cinema


"Crazy fun with witches, samurai c-sections, zombie warriors andhypno-boobies! Yeah, hypno-boobies! – Jason Watches Movies


"Unjustly ignored on its release, director Kurando Mitsutake's tale of a modern day blind swordsman assassin turns Japanese genre conventions upside down. Fans have long requested this wild mix of Tarantino and ZATOICHI in HD, and Synapse Films has pulled out all the stops to create an awesome special edition for release only on Blu-ray."


"After losing his eyesight, his wife, and his daughter at the hands of a deranged psychopath, a man is transformed into an unstoppable killing machine hellbent on revenge! Eight years after the massacre of his family, the Blind Wolf has returned as a highly trained swordsman ready to seek justice. But he doesn't know seven deadly (and even undead) assassins have been hired by his sworn enemy to make sure he doesnt leave town alive! Set in nowhere and in no time, SAMURAI AVENGER: THE BLIND WOLF is a bloody sushi-western and a modern day action film with a classic samurai essence."

– Audio Commentary with Director Kurando Mitsutake, Producer Chiaki Yanagimoto and Editor John Migdal

– Sword Fight Choreography

– Behind-the-Scenes Featurette

Tätä myöten kiinnostus kasvoikin taas lisää:


"While the film is available on DVD in its uncut form in many countries, a Blu-ray release is a first for the movie and it happens in Germany. An interesting side note is that there seems to be an alternate version of the movie in Japan that features material that exists nowhere else in the world. The upcoming release by DigiDreams, called "The Platinum Edition" will have this exotic cut in the bonus section as will the mediabook release by the German distributor '84 Entertainment."

"

ANTHROPOPHAGOUS will be making its worldwide HD debut from 88 Films!"


"Also included in this amazing BluRay debut will be the finally-released feature length documentary 42nd STREET MEMORIES. We don't expect to have BBFC trouble with ANTHROPOPHAGOUS but we will, of course, keep you posted. For the time being, this title is only available via 88 Films, in a special collector's edition with four postcards featuring art from classic Joe D'Amato movies. For contractual reasons it will be Region B locked."

"The Announcement of two blu-ray double features of four films making their debuts on blu-ray":


– 1987s genie-on-the loose THE OUTING will be paired with 1980s Omen-inspired THE GODSEND from Cannon Pictures.

– Empire Pictures CELLAR DWELLER and CATACOMBS (both from 1988) will share a double bill. John Carl Buechler (Troll, Friday the 13th Part VII) directed CELLAR and David Schmoeller (Tourist Trap, Puppetmaster, The Seduction) directed CATACOMBS.


"All are expected to land on 7/14 and will receive new widescreen HD transfers."


"Many of you will recognize these films from our prior All-Night Horror Marathon budget DVD releases back in 2013. At the time, we were unable to create new transfers for a variety of reasons (mostly financial) which caused disappointment from fans who wanted better presentations. (We felt your pain too.) We are pleased to be able to correct this now and have chosen some of the more requested titles from those releases to experiment with. If they do well, perhaps more will follow."


"Note: Run times for each movie will be exactly as they were on the DVD releases. There are no new extras as the costs spent are going to the transfers."





"Empire Pictures 1988 horror-western hybrid GHOST TOWN, will be riding into the Scream Factory homestead on Blu-ray July 28th. (Weve had several requests for this one.) Artwork you see here is final."





"The Final list extras that will be included on our blu-ray release of SCARECROWS"

"James Spader (The Blacklist, Boston Legal) finds himself caught up in serial killer intrigue in JACKS BACK. This 1988 underrated thriller (both Siskel and Ebert gave it a "thumbs up!") is scheduled to slash onto DVD & Blu-ray for the first time this Summer! Artwork you see here is final."





"This Summer we will be releasing the 1986 shocker NOMADS for the first time on Blu-ray! From the Director of Predator and Die Hard, the action centers on Pierce Brosnan (Tomorrow Never Dies) as a doctor battling demonic spirits. Also along for the ride: Lesley Anne-Down (The Great Train Robbery), Mary Woronov (Rock N Roll High School, Night of the Comet) and even 80s singer Adam Ant (!?)Artwork you see here – sporting the classic original theatrical key art – is final. Street date has not been locked yet but well keep you posted when its confirmed. No word to report yet on any extras."
