Killer Nun is a 1979 Italy horror mystery thriller by Giulio Berruti
Starring Anita Ekberg, Alida Valli and Massimo Serato
The 1981 pre-cert VHS release briefly appeared on the Video Nasties List. Later released with BBFC cuts for 18 rated VHS release in 1993. Uncut and 18 rated on DVD since 2006. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US.
Summary Notes Legendary Swedish sex bomb Anita Ekberg stars as Sister Gertrude, a cruel nun who discovers depraved pleasure in a frenzy of drug addiction, sexual degradation and sadistic murder.
UK: Uncut and BBFC 18 rated for strong bloody violence:
Promotional Material Dubbed the sex symbol of the silver screen, Anita Ekberg , renowned for her iconic frolicking in the Trevi Fountain in Fellini's
La Dolce Vita , delivers an amazing powerhouse performance in THE KILLER NUN . In an interview exclusive to this edition, Ekberg reveals her frustration with subsequent
"bombshell" typecasting, expressing a preference for working on films like Killer Nun and boldly declaring, "This is the kind of film I like!" Originally banned as a Video Nasty
, Killer Nun is a true "Nunsploitation" great, which uniquely crosses into the Giallo genre. Presented here uncut and pristinely restored from a 2K scan of the camera negative, this release
finally does justice to the uninhibited and frenzied vision of its creator. With impressive high-style photography and vivid, deliciously surreal murders, it is superbly enhanced by the dreamy yet dystopian score of Alessandro
Alessandroni (immortalised by his twangy guitar and his legendary whistling in Sergio Leone's westerns ). The music itself is a manic masterpiece. Based on a true story, Ekberg's tour-de-force performance
portrays a nun who turns junkie and engages in robbery, possibly torture and murder of pensioners in a Church-run Elderly Care Home - all while luring young nuns with her sapphic desires! The Nun is abetted by a hunky doctor played by Andy Warhol's
superstar protégé, Joe D'Alessandro (lionised as "Little Joe" in Lou Reed's famed Walk On The Wild Side ). Special Features:
- Interview with Fellini's muse and iconic Sex-Symbol Anita Ekberg - "After La Dolce Vita"
-
Interview with director Giulio Berruti - "God is the Drug"

The Minus Man is a 1999 US crime mystery drama by Hampton Fancher
Starring Owen Wilson, Sheryl Crow and Dwight Yoakam
There are no censorship issues with this release Summary Notes Aimless Vann Siegert takes a bizarre turn in life and becomes a serial killer, tracking down the miserable,
the self-destructive and those who otherwise seem willing to die.
US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:
Promotional Material When quiet, aimless and amiable Vann Siegert--a haunting Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers)--drifts into town, no one suspects the evil that lies beneath the surface. Despite his easy
charm, he is merely a reflection of what those who encounter him want him to be. The more Vann tries to make a go of his new life, the stronger the mysterious forces are that pull him in a darker direction. When locals start to disappear, it becomes
clear that an eerie subtraction is at work among the lost and lonely of this sleepy, seaside hamlet. People look toward Vann, but no one can quite put their finger on who he really is. Through it all, he carries on a surreal dialogue with imaginary
detectives who question his crimes and motives. Written and directed by Hampton Fancher (Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049) from the acclaimed novel by Lew McCreary, this unsettling and offbeat psychological thriller gazes unflinchingly into the mind of a
serial killer. With Janeane Garofalo (Clay Pigeons), Brian Cox (Manhunter), Mercedes Ruehl (Married to the Mob), Dennis Haysbert (Far from Heaven) and music icons Dwight Yoakam (Sling Blade) and Sheryl Crow. Special

Promotional Material This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Based on an acclaimed
1967 novel by Joan Lindsay, Picnic at Hanging Rock is set at the turn of the twentieth century and concerns a small group of students from an all-female college who vanish, along with a chaperone, while on a St.
Valentine's Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society, Weir's gorgeous, disquieting film is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to
this day.

Deep In The Heart: Handgun is a 1983 UK action drama by Tony
Garnett.
Starring Karen Young and Clayton Day and Suzie Humphreys.
There are no censorship issues with this release Summary Notes Shortly after moving to
Dallas, a young woman is raped at gunpoint. Her intense anger drives her to seek revenge, and she becomes a hunter on a vengeance mission.
US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:
Promotional Material SHE SAID NO... AND SHE MEANT IT! Kathleen Sullivan has been raped at gunpoint. Now she plans her revenge! Having left Boston to start a new
job in Dallas, Kathleen Sullivan soon makes friends and begins to enjoy her new life. Larry Keeler is immediately attracted to Kathleen, but Kathleen makes it clear she would rather have a friend than a boyfriend. At the end of one date, Kathleen gives
Larry a peck on the cheek and dashes into her apartment, leaving Larry confused and angry. On the next date, however, Larry is determined to get what he wants--at gunpoint. The tables start to turn when Kathleen joins a local gun club and buys her own
gun. Now she becomes the hunter--on a vengeful mission. Producer, writer and director Tony Garnett (Prostitute) was fascinated and troubled by the proliferation and celebration of firearms in the United States. So, he traveled from his native
England to Texas to make a dramatic film that would explore the widespread availability of guns there and the accompanying potential for deadly violence. The result was the hard-hitting Deep in the Heart, the film that boldly examines issues that
continue to torment American society over forty years later.

Frankie is actually channeling an extraordinary and provocative message that could destroy the Church, he's convinced that she -- and the force possessing her -- must be forever silenced. Determined to stop this deadly conspiracy, Kiernan risks his faith
-- and his life -- to save her and the message that will change the destiny of mankind forever.

ever foresee. With a story spread across three time periods, Tai Kato's ambitious revision of the yakuza movie was one of the first films to tackle the taboo subject of Japan's Korean nationals, greatly influencing later directors such as Kinji Fukasaku

Summary Notes As an aging widower begins suffering from cardiac trouble, his greedy heirs hire a super-seductive nurse in the hopes of inducing a heart attack, but the plan backfires when she
falls in love with him.
UK: Uncut and BBFC 18 rated:
Promotional Material From the producers of 'Doctor Zhivago' comes a film that finally reveals URSULA ANDRESS in all her glory! Voted the TOP BOND GIRL of all time, Ursula Andress made cinematic
history when she emerged from the sea in that bikini. Not only was this iconic scene crowned "No1 of the 100 Greatest Sexy Screen-Moments" and earned Andress a Golden Globe, but it heralded a new generation of women who wanted and
expected more: the 'sexual revolution' had started. Ever wondered what she looks like without that bikini? Well, wonder no more and reach for The Nurse! Andress stars as The Sensuous Nurse, spending most of this romp-com undressed. Screen
legend Jack Palance (City Slickers) plays an American tycoon aiming to buy a vineyard in the beautiful Italian Veneto. But the hitch is that the aging owner won't sign, despite his madcap family's eagerness to sell and get rich. The old
man, recovering from a bonk-induced heart attack, is a randy lecher. So, the family's outrageous stratagem is to hire Nurse Andress, not to cure the old boy, but for her to... ahem... undress and, hopefully, induce another - this time fatal -
cardiac arrest. It's all barmy, fizzy fun, and the clincher? A SECOND Bond Girl! Luciana Paluzzi, the one in skin-tight black leathers on the rocket launching motorbike in 'Thunderball'. Here without leathers. Or anything.
Special Features:
- Complete and Uncut, restored from 2K scan

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a 1978 USA Sci-Fi horror
by Philip Kaufman.
Starring Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams and Jeff Goldblum.
There are no censorship issues with this release Summary Notes
In San Francisco, a group of people discover the human race is being replaced one by one, with clones devoid of emotion.
UK: Uncut and BBFC 15 rated for strong violence, moderate horror:
Promotional Material When health official Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) notices that her lover has become strangely distant, this sets in train a series of shocking discoveries that sees both her and
colleague Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) fleeing for their lives to the sound of ear-piercing alien screams. Remakes of great films are usually on a hiding to nothing, but Philip Kaufman's brilliant update of the 1956 classic is a rare and
memorable exception. Transposing the action to the heart of San Francisco allows Kaufman to retain all the suspense of Jack Finney's original story while adding caustic social commentary about the selfishness of the 1970s "me generation" that
remains all too relevant today. But it's a paranoid thriller first and foremost, based on one of the most psychologically terrifying of all premises -- what happens when you can no longer trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and
dearest? 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS

Nightmares In A Damaged Brain is a 1981 US/Italy horror by
Romano Scavolini
Starring Baird Stafford, Sharon Smith and C.J. Cooke
Cut by the BBFC for X rated 1982 cinema release. Famously banned as a video nasty
with the distributor being jailed. A cut US R rated version was released in the UK for an 18 rated 2002 DVD. In the US the Unrated 2011 Code Red version is slightly shortened in uncontroversial scenes but is the best available. An uncut version, or as
near as dammit, was released in the UK in November 2015 but was soon withdrawn presumably for a lack of BBFC paperwork. However the BBFC certificate was published shortly after and the DVD went back on sale. The original UK cinema version was
heavily cut by the BBFC with edits made to closeups of throat slitting and repeated stabs during the telephone murder, the pick axe killing, and axe blows (including blood frothing from a man's head) during the climactic flashback. The film was then
listed and banned as an official video nasty, and a successful prosecution was brought against the distributing company World of Video 2000 in 1984 for releasing an unauthorized video version (which was 1 min longer than the cut cinema print). The film
was finally granted a video certificate in 2002 though the print submitted was an edited U.S version, which restores the ice pick murder and around 1 minute of dialogue scenes but still has edits to the throat slashing/stabbing scene and some brief cuts
to the climactic flashback nightmare murder. Summary Notes A mental patient embarks on a murder spree upon escaping from an institution.
UK: Uncut and BBFC
18 rated for strong bloody violence, horror, strong sex:
Promotional Material It's been called "graphic and unapologetic" (SexGoreMutants), "brutally effective" (Screen Rant) and "a forgotten classic" (Horror News). It remains the
most reviled, controversial, and misunderstood genre film of the '80s. Now "the most repulsive, degrading and horrifying movie ever made" (NY Daily News) can be experienced like never before: When a homicidal mental patient (an enduringly
disturbing performance by Baird Stafford ) flees an experimental drug program, he'll leave a 5-day trail of psychosexual carnage from the peep shows of 42nd Street to the gore-soaked shores of Florida. Written and
directed by Romano Scavolini , this "devastating masterpiece" (Cinefear) -- whose UK release as NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN led to the imprisonment of distributor David Hamilton-Grant
-- has been scanned from the internegative and various foreign print sources to create the most complete version ever assembled. Disc Specs:
