Barbarella is a 1968 France / Italy comedy Sci-Fi fantasy by Roger Vadim. Starring Jane Fonda and John Phillip Law and Anita Pallenberg.
Cut in the US for an MPAA PG rating but home video releases are uncut even if still claiming to be PG rated. Summary Notes The year is 40,000. After peaceful floating in
zero-gravity, astronaut Barbarella lands on the frozen planet Lythion and sets out to find renowned scientist Durand Durand in the City of Night, Sogo, where a new sin is invented every hour. There, she encounters such objects as the Excessive Machine, a
genuine sex organ on which an expert artist of the keyboard, in this case, Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who can make her fantasies take form in her Chamber of Dreams, and a group of ladies smoking a
giant hookah which dispenses Essence of Man through a poor victim struggling in its glass globe. You can not help but be impressed by the special effects crew and the various ways that were found to tear off what minimal clothes our heroine seemed to
possess. US: Uncut and MPAA PG rated for:
Promotional Material Slip out of your spacesuit and into something more comfortable! It's time to join Barbarella on a series of cosmic adventures in this Dino De Laurentiis production directed by Roger
Vadim ( =And God Created Woman ) and starring Jane Fonda as the intergalactic glamor puss created by comic book artist Jean-Claude Forest. It is the year 40,000AD. When evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) creates a deadly weapon with the
potential to cause mass devastation, the President of Earth dispatches Barbarella (Fonda) to hunt him down. Crash-landing in an icy wilderness somewhere within the Tau Ceti planetary system, Barbarella is rescued by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi, La Cage Aux
Folles) and guided by the blind angel Pygar (John Phillip Law, =Danger: Diabolik ) to Durand's lair in Sogo, a city of corruption and debauchery, where an encounter with the Great Tyrant Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg, =Performance ) and her
minions throws her mission into jeopardy. With an all-star cast including David Hemmings and Marcel Marceau, and glorious retro-futuristic costumes and art design dripping with 60s psychedelia, Barbarella defined an era and has never looked better

Basket Case is a 1982 US comedy horror by Frank Henenlotter. With Kevin Van Hentenryck, Terri Susan Smith and Beverly Bonner.
Cut by the BBFC for cinema release, further cut for 1987 VHS. Uncut since
1999. Originally MPAA Unrated in the US but later was R rated. Summary Notes Charming country bumpkin Duane Bradley takes a motel room in New York with a basket and a backpack. In a
flashback sequence we learn the basket contains his surgically removed Siamese twin - who is not only so physically deformed the doctors hesitated to consider him a human, but is also the vindictive driver behind their trip, with the purpose of killing
off all those he blames. But in one of those doctors' offices, Duane gets his first-ever date, with the receptionist, and wants to start a positive life. When the freak twin escapes, the scene is set for a grim finale. US: Uncut
and MPAA R rated for:
Promotional Material The feature debut of director Frank Henenlotter ( Brain Damage ,
Frankenhooker ), 1982's Basket Case is a riotous and blood-spattered "midnight movie"
experience, now presented for the first time ever on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. Duane Bradley seems like a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin Belial, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who lives in a wicker basket. Arriving
in the Big Apple and taking up a room at a seedy hotel, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsible for their separation. Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where it played on the
midnight movie circuit for over two-and-a-half years), =Basket Case has clawed its way from its humble origins to become one of the most celebrated cult movies of all time. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS

Promotional Material Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's beloved pulp stories, and brought to the screen by maverick director John Milius, =Conan the Barbarian is one of the most beloved
fantasy-action adventures in Hollywood history, which not only popularized a new subgenre -- the sword-and-sorcery film -- but also made a cinematic icon of its star, former bodybuilding sensation Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an ancient land, young
Conan witnesses his family being slaughtered by an evil snake cult ransacking his village. Raised as a slave, the adult Conan (Schwarzenegger) rises up through the fighting pits, becoming an unparalleled and fearsome warrior. Unexpectedly freed, Conan
and his companions -- two fighters, Subotai (Gerry Lopez) and Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), as well as a Wizard (Mako) -- are enlisted by King Osric (Max von Sydow) to free his daughter from the hypnotic clutches of the same cult that murdered Conan's
family long ago, led by the shape-shifting sorcerer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones). Praise Crom! At long last, Milius' glorious ode to the days of high adventure (co-written by Oliver Stone) has been restored in stunning 4K with hours of bonus
features and a heart-racing Atmos remix that immerses you in the action, accompanied throughout by an electrifying, career-best score by the late Basil Poledouris (RoboCop). If you do not listen... then to hell with you! DISC ONE -- FEATURE

April 2024
Promotional Material *This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful
restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. Five men, all strangers, board a carriage on a train from London to the town of Bradley, where they're joined at the last minute by a sixth - a mysterious,
black-clad older gentleman who introduces himself as Doctor Schreck (German for "terror," as he informs them). Bearing a stack of Tarot cards, Doctor Schreck claims to have the ability to read fortunes, and although some of the group are
initially skeptical, it's not long before his fellow passengers are asking him each in turn to relate what the future holds in store. What follows is five fiendish tales of terror, as the doctor reveals the various dreadful fates that are to befall his
traveling companions - which include bone-chilling encounters with werewolves, killer plants, voracious vampires and all other manner of horrors! The first in a line of anthology films to be produced by Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg's
celebrated Amicus Productions, DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS is a frightfully entertaining classic of 60s British horror which reunites genre legends Peter Cushing as the titular doctor and Christopher Lee
, who delivers a memorable turn as a scathing art critic terrorized by a disembodied hand! Helmed by Academy Award® winner Freddie Francis and featuring an early appearance by Donald Sutherland (
Don't Look Now ), Vinegar Syndrome conjures up the 4K UHD debut of DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, presented from a brand new 4K restoration of its 35mm camera negative and stacked with extras both old and new!

Promotional Material In the 1970s the crime film flourished in Italy as the country went through years of political and social unrest, the so-called 'Years of Lead'. Italian movie producers would
capitalise on these times by producing cheap, violent movies about the country's organised crime and corruption, establishing the genre of the poliziotteschi. One of the most celebrated poliziottesco directors was Fernando Di Leo, a director as concerned
with telling entertaining stories as he was with creating socially relevant backdrops. In Di Leo's The Boss, Henry Silva plays mob enforcer Nick Lanzetta, who assassinates key members of a rival gang in order to put his boss in a position to seize power.
However, one surviving member of the gang, Cocchi (Pier Paolo Capponi, The Cat o' Nine Tails) plots his revenge involving corrupt cop Torri (Gianni Garko, If You Meet Sartana Pray For Your Death), leading to a bloody series of double-crosses and power
plays to find who will ultimately become the boss. LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES 2020 4K restoration of the original negative, presented in the original Italian version and the shorter English export cut, on Blu-ray for the first time

BLU-RAY! Tsui Chik (Li) is a librarian who leads a quiet, unassuming life - or, at least, that's what he wants people to believe. In truth, he was once a member of the 701 Squad, a group of elite combatants produced by a failed
super-soldier project. In kind with his former comrades, his central nervous system has been altered to render him impervious to pain. When several of his fellow test subjects resurface and embark on a crimewave under the leadership of their former
commander Hung Kuk (Patrick Lung), Tsui is forced to use his extraordinary abilities once more. Donning a costume, he sets out to face his past - as the vigilante known as the Black Mask. Adapted from the manhua by Pang Chi-ming and Li Chi-tak and
heavily influenced by Bruce Lee's turn as Kato in The Green Hornet, Black Mask is one of the most entertaining movies in Jet Li's filmography and boasts action orchestrated by Yuen Woo-ping, who would later win an Academy Award for his work on Crouching

Promotional Material THE FIRST MOTION PICTURE BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT THE RISE AND REVOLT OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA! The film considered too shocking for the
world! Written, edited, produced and directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi of MONDO CANE fame, this epic recreation of the American slave trade atrocities was both condemned as depraved exploitation and acclaimed as an unprecedented cry of
Black anguish and rage. The Detroit Chronicle hailed it as "a graphic, moving, nerve-paralyzing film." Legendary film critic Pauline Kael called it "the most specific and rabid incitement of the race war." It became one of the most
reviled and misunderstood films of its time. Five decades cannot diminish GOODBYE UNCLE TOM's impact or quiet its controversy as it has become even more relevant TODAY! In 1971, distributors forced the filmmakers to completely re-cut the film and
radically re-write its extreme narration, removing more than 13 minute of race-war politics and inserting alternate scenes - creating what would become an entirely different film - before it could be released. Now more than 50 years later, both versions
of GOODBYE UNCLE TOM can finally be seen in brand-new restorations, scanned in 4K 16-bit from their original negatives, with Dolby Vision HDR & newly restored DTS-HD Master Audio, and packed with over 5 hours of Extras!

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"

The Slave of the Cannibal God is a 1978 Italy horror adventure
by Sergio Martino. Starring Ursula Andress and Stacy Keach and Claudio Cassinelli.
All UK releases have been cut for animal cruelty. The film was banned as a video
nasty in 1983. There is an uncut extended version released in the US. This Extended Version was passed 18 for 2018 UK video but was still cut for animal cruelty. Summary Notes Susan
Stevenson and her brother Arthur get off a plane in Papua New Guinea, looking for her missing husband. They team up with, Dr. Edward Foster. The three head into the jungle, get in more than a few fights amongst themselves, and view lots of gratuitous
animal cruelty, notable an iguana getting eviscerated. UK: The Extended Version was passed 18 for strong violence, gore, sex after 2:01s of BBFC compulsory cuts for:
The BBFC commented in the annual report covering 2017: Required cuts to remove sight of real animal cruelty that appeared to be orchestrated and directed for the purposes of the film (a crocodile attacking other animals
and a fight between a snake and a bird)
Promotional Material Also known as 'The Mountain Of The Cannibal God'. Sergio Martino (the director of
All The Colours Of The Dark, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh, Torso ) invites you on the trip of a lifetime to The Mountain of The Cannibal God - for tropical sun, wildlife and... flesh munching natives!
Ursula Andress (voted the Top Bond Girl of all time in Dr No - The Nurse) here stars as 'THE SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD'. The film follows her as she travels to the New Guinea jungle in search of her scientist husband
who's vanished in the untamed Green Inferno. Soon, giant spiders, killer crocodiles and deadly giant snakes bare their teeth as her expedition, led by cult-favourite Stacy Keach , journeys towards the sacred mountain of
the Cannibal God! There a flesh-eating tribe will enslave her in an eruption of frenzied orgiastic climax... Banned as a 'Video Nasty', Shameless now reinstates the original dramatic gore and the extended - and here complete - explicit scenes to
serve up this 2K-sharp restoration of this ferocious unflinching exploitation treat, to be savoured in all its blood-soaked glory! Special Features:
- 2K Restored and Regraded
- Sergio Martino interview on the Making of "Slave of the Cannibal God"

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.

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.
