"A delightfully outlandish comic strip directed by the master of the Italian B movie." -- Tom Milne, Time Out The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (John Phillip
Law) can't get enough of life's good -- or glittery -- things. Not when there are currency shipments to steal from under the noses of snooty government officials and priceless jewels to lift from the boudoirs of the super-rich. The elusive scoundrel
finds plenty of ways to live up to his name in this tongue-in-cheek, live-action caper inspired by Europe's popular Diabolik comics. He clambers up walls, zaps a press conference with Exhilaration Gas, smacks a confession out of a crime lord while
freefalling with him from an airplane, and pulls off the heist of a twenty-ton gold ingot. Impossible? No, diabolical -- Danger: Diabolik, to be exact!

When Horror maestro Lucio Fulci (Zombie Flesh Eaters, Aengima) turned his hand to an erotic thriller, the results were always going to be outrageous: a tale of revenge and S & M,
The Devil's Honey makes Fifty Shades of Grey look positively vanilla.
Bret Halsey (A Cat in the Brain, Four Times That Night) plays a brilliant surgeon who, when distracted by personal problems, accidentally causes a
patient to die in surgery. Determined to avenge this, the man's grief-crazed former lover kidnaps the doc and undertakes a very kinky type of vengeance --there's no safe word here...

Synopsis Don't open the fridge! Lamberto Bava was taught his trade by his father, horror legend Mario Bava. Macabre, his first film as director, showed how well he'd learnt his lessons.
Still recovering from a pair of tragic and traumatic bereavements, Jane Baker (Bernice Steggers; Xtro, Sky Pilots) moves into a new apartment in New Orleans. The owner's son, Robert, is blind -- but that doesn't stop him hearing what Jane gets up to. It
sounds like she's resumed her passionate affair with her lover, Fred. Except that Fred died a year ago... Not quite a giallo, not quite a ghost story and with a final twist that will make you re-think everything you've already seen, Macabre showed that
Bava Jr. -- who'd go on to make the horror classic Demons -- was a chip off the old block.

Reviews
See review from frontrowreviews.co.uk : " HAGAZUSSA saw success from Fantastic Fest in Texas, wide release across Germany
and the acquisition by Arrow for the UK Blu Ray rights "
Debut filmmaker Lukas Feigelfeld has crafted one of the most celebrated horror debuts in recent years, playing prestigious festivals worldwide it is one of the most original takes on
the subject of witchcraft which echoes Robert Eggers The Witch but draws on broader influences including the creeping dread and hallucinogenic imagery of David Lynch and Panos Cosmatos.
In an isolated Alpine hut at the turn of the 15th Century,
Albrun is a young girl growing up alone. As an adult, she is a single mother and a marked woman, outcast by a society twisted in deep-rooted superstitions and misogyny. Still haunted by the death of her own mother and increasingly abused by the community
around her, Albrun starts to defy the role she has been dealt in life and embarks on a path of self-empowerment the price of which may be an even greater darkness than she has ever known before.
Described as a spellbinding audiovisual symphony
(The Hollywood Reporter) and ranked 3rd in Rotten Tomatoes ""Best Horror Movies of 2019"", Hagazussa: A Heathen s Curse is a journey into the madness prevalent both in our minds and in the world around us, and whether the difference
between the two is always as clear as we hope for it to be.

From Sergio Leone , the acclaimed director of A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West comes
his final Western, A Fistful of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker!) and released in some territories as Once Upon A Time... the Revolution.
Starring acting giants Rod Steiger ( In the Heat of the Night ) as
Juan Miranda, an amoral peasant-turned-outlaw, and James Coburn ( Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid ) as John Mallory, a dynamite-tossing Irish revolutionary who has fled to Mexico after becoming a fugitive in his own country. Together, they're
a devilishly volatile mix of anti-establishment philosophies and violent tendencies as they attempt to liberate political prisoners, defend their compatriots against a well-equipped militia, and risk their lives on a train filled with explosives.
Featuring a haunting and rousing score by iconic composer Ennio Morricone , A Fistful of Dynamite has risen in stature over the years and is now recognised alongside The Dollars Trilogy and Once Upon A Time in the West as a
true masterpiece.

London's become a small town for a handful of jaded psychedelic-era hipsters. But Johnny Alucard has a groovy new way for his pals to get their kicks. A certain ritual will be the
living end, he insists. And if you still wonder where Johnny's coming from, try spelling his last name backwards. Dracula is raised into the modern era in this Hammer Studios shocker that's "quite well done" (John Stanley, Creature Features).
Christopher Lee dons the cape for the sixth time and seeks out fresh victims. As archnemesis Van Helsing, fellow horror legend Peter Cushing clutches a vial of holy water and edges within throwing distance. Their harrowing battle royal is not to be
missed. In fact, it's the living end.
After over a decade in the wilderness following his firing from Nikkatsu for Branded to Kill (1967), maverick
director Seijun Suzuki returned with a vengeance with his critically-praised tryptic of cryptic supernatural dramas set during the liberal enlightenment of Japan s Taisho Era (1912-26).
In the multiple Japanese Academy Award-winning Zigeunerweisen
(1980), two intellectuals and former colleagues from military academy involve their wives in a series of dangerous sexual games. In Kageroza (1981), a playwright is drawn like a moth to a flame to a mysterious beauty who might be a ghost,
while Yumeji (1991) imagines the real-life painter-poet Takehisa Yumeji s encounter with a beautiful widow with a dark past.
Rarely seen outside of Japan, the films in the Taisho Trilogy are considered Suzuki s masterpieces in his
homeland. Presenting a dramatic turn from more his familiar tales of cops, gangsters and unruly youth, these surrealistic psychological puzzles drip with a lush exoticism, distinctively capturing the pandemonium of a bygone age of decadence and excess,
when Western ideas, fashions, technologies and art fused into everyday aspect of Japanese life.

1983, the McPherson family gathered together to celebrate the 5th birthday of Michelle, the littlest member of their household. Everything was captured on VHS by Michael McPherson and his new camcorder. Including the alien invasion. Shot for $6000 by
first-time filmmaker Dean Alioto in 1989, this movie blends the production design of a Jaycees haunted house with a dead serious tone to forge a fun, hypnotic nightmare that upends the concept of reality. Due to a warehouse fire at the original
distribution company, THE MCPHERSON TAPE was never legitimately released. AGFA + Bleeding Skull! are proud to present the world home video premiere of this important milestone in shot-on-video horror history, newly preserved from the original

When she was a child, Olivia ( Suzanna Love
) witnessed the horrifying and violent murder of her prostitute mother at the hands of an angry John. Now an adult, she's married to an abusive and controlling factory worker, that is, until her mother appears to her and demands that Olivia avenge
her death by seducing and then slaying men. While disposing of a body near the London Bridge, Olivia has a chance meeting with a friendly American named Mike ( Robert Walker, Jr. ) who reveals that he's visiting England in order to dismantle and
move the bridge to Arizona, setting off a series of increasingly strange events, and a lot more bloodshed...
Perhaps the most offbeat film in the fascinating career of German actor turned exploitation auteur, Ulli Lommel ( Tenderness of
the Wolves , The Boogeyman ) OLIVIA (also known as Prozzie and Double Jeopardy ) finds a distinctive blend of slasher, erotic thriller, and straight forward sleaze, seasoned with touches of semi-surrealism. Atmospherically

increasingly strange and perverted ways. With her father at a loss for what to do, he invites a beautiful nun who resides in the castle to try and help get her under control. However, the Sister soon suspects that Bimba has become possessed by an
insatiable, sex-starved demon which will stop at nothing, including murder, to fulfill its depraved and unholy desires.

decided that film would now be 18 rated, should it be submitted in feature format. The BBFC tweeted:
We changed our guidelines on sexual violence at 15 in 2019. The scene of sexual violence in Prince of Tides is no longer
permissible at 15. Therefore the rating has been raised to 18. We have not recently been asked to view the film, only the audio commentary version.

Note that the disk is 18 rated because of 18 rated extras. This rating can surely be ignored because it is just the BBFC virtue signaling about how seriously it is concerned about sexual violence, rather than a rating based on the
explicitness and level of violence of the content.

The great Hollywood director William Wyler (Jezebel, Wuthering Heights, The Heiress, Ben-Hur) took John Fowles' celebrated novel and turned it into one of the finest -- and most
controversial -- psychological thrillers of the 1960s.
A lonely, unbalanced young butterfly collector (Terence Stamp, Far from the Madding Crowd, The Mind of Mr. Soames, Superman II) stalks and abducts a young art student (Samantha Eggar, Psyche
59, The Brood), keeping her imprisoned in a stone cellar as if she were one of his specimens.
Stamp and Eggar won Best Actor prizes for their roles at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival, and the film remains a surprising and often shocking depiction of
psychotic obsession."

Shades of early Tarantino, Edgar Wright and Sam Raimi abound in this violent, stylish and riotously entertaining slice of family life, Moscow style, described as a splatterpunk
action comedy drenched in gleefully dark Russian humor ( The Hollywood Reporter ) and an amazing first feature from a filmmaker to watch ( Screen Anarchy ).
Matvey (Aleksandr Kuznetsov) has just one objective: to gain entry to his
girlfriend s parents apartment and kill her father Andrey (Vitaliy Khaev) with a hammer to restore her honor. But all is not as it initially seems, and Matvey s attempts to bludgeon the family patriarch to death don t quite go to plan as Andrey proves a
more formidable not to mention ruthless opponent than he anticipated and Matvey, for his part, proves stubbornly unwilling to die.
Making his feature debut, writer/director Kirill Sokolov presents a rousing tale of family, modern relationships and
the dark places they can take you to when things turn sour. Featuring a soundtrack that veers between Ennio Morricone-esque western riffs and toe-tappingly catchy pop numbers, Why Don t You Just Die! delivers laughs, shocking twists and copious
quantities of blood and gore, and establishes Sokolov as one of cinema s brightest rising stars.

Promotional Material
His beast-blood demanded he KILL ... KILL ... KILL! Directed by legendary horror filmmaker Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula, The Curse Of Frankenstein), this atmospheric tale of terror
stars Oliver Reed (Venom, The Brood) as the orphan of a maniacal beggar and a mute girl. From his birth to young manhood, he discovers a horrible secret. Try as he may, the cursed man is unable to deny the dark force within him. When the moon is full, he
becomes an uncontrollable, seemingly unstoppable killer incapable of distinguishing between friend and foe. Spectacular makeup effects and beautifully photographed 19th-century European locales heighten the suspense of this classic tale of horror.

Audio Commentary With
Author/Film Historian Steve Haberman And Filmmaker/Film Historian Constantine Nasr has them go deep into the production and the history of the actors involve in the Hammer production.
The Men Who Made Hammer --
Roy Ashton (19:12) focuses on the special effects artist who worked on so many of the Hammer films. Richard Klemensen talks about his pal Ashton and the techniques he used to create the creatures. There's quite a bit on his werewolf makeup.
Serial Killer -- Benjamin Frankel, Serialism And The Curse Of The Werewolf (21:52) is about the soundtrack composer and not other serial killers. David Huckvale discusses Benjamin Frankel's work on the film. The
composer went on to score The Night of the Iguana.
The Making Of The Curse Of The Werewolf (46:10) includes Interviews With Actors Catherine Feller And Yvonne Romain, Mike Hill, Art Director Don
Mingaye, Art Department Member Margaret Robinson and filmmaker Jimmy Sangster. There's a lot of talk about how this film came about from the necessity to use the new sets. There's also plenty of talk about Oliver Reed. This is what I've been waiting to
see since my previous editions of Curse were barebones affairs.
Lycanthropy: The Beast In All Of Us (3:28) is a short introduction to the reality of lycanthropy.
Censoring The Werewolf (13:48) goes into how the movie was snipped because it was a bit too edgy for the British Censors even with a X Certification like the previous horror films Hammer had put out.

Synopsis World-famous for their action and derring-do, old friends Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung teamed up for a more film that shows there's much more to them than brawling. Jackie plays

rescue him, throwing it down as only Jackie Chan can. Made the same year as Police Story, Heart of Dragon was a change of pace for the great action artists, giving them a chance to show of their acting chops as well as their stunt skills -- even if they
don't ignore the latter! 88 Films are proud to present this UK blu ray premiere of a Hong Kong classic.

A decade on from starting the cannibal genre, director Umberto Lenzi has the final word, pushing the vomit envelope beyond the sick with his utterly nasty,
nihilistic apotheosis that is CANNIBAL FEROX . So unredeemable that its own makers denounced it as barbaric...!
An academic, Gloria (Lorraine De Selle), journeys to the Amazon jungle where things go awry when her party encounters
sadistic druggy villain Mike ( Giovanni Lombardo Radice aka John Morghen ), as the travellers venture further into the heart of darkness, they soon discover what it means to be the hunted prey.
CANNIBAL FEROX aka
' Make Them Die Slowly ' , topped the official Video Nasty list for its raw graphic scenes of torture, mutilations, murder and cannibalism . This new 2K restoration of
the film in full duration additionally features new grading which revives, for the 1st time, the original edgy look of the 16mm film stock it was shot on - finally presenting the film as it was first created by director Umberto Lenzi, on location in the
Amazonian green inferno.

Police, without ever being screened.

duration ever.
