National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a 1989 US comedy by Jeremiah S. Chechik. With Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo and Juliette Lewis .
It's Christmas time and the Griswolds are preparing for a family seasonal celebration, but things never run smoothly for Clark, his wife Ellen and
their two kids. Clark's continual bad luck is worsened by his obnoxious family guests, but he manages to keep going knowing that his Christmas bonus is due soon.
The 2020 cinema release has just been passed 12A uncut for infrequent
strong language, moderate sex references
The film is uncut and MPAA PG-13 rated in the US but the film has a bit of a censorship history in the UK.
BBFC category cuts were required for early PG rated cinema and VHS releases as follows:
The dialogue: We're gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye! lost the 'fucking' in favour of an overdubbed 'dancing'
It was later released uncut on UK Blu-ray in 2003 bearing a 12 rating, seemingly without being resubmitted to the BBFC.
In 2013 a commentary track based on the uncut version was passed 12 uncut for video. In 2014, the film itself was then
passed 12 uncut for video.
This 12 rated uncut video version was not published in the BBFC's old database but appears in the BBFC's new dumbed down database.
As of 2020, all UK DVD releases still feature the cut UK version.

'When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.'
With the U.S. in the grip of a zombie apocalypse, four desperate survivors find refuge in a
shopping mall. But the flesh-eating hordes, still possessed by an instinctive desire to consume, are drawn to the same destination. What follows is a nail-biting fight for survival.
George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead remains one of the greatest
horror films ever made, often imitated but never equalled, and is now presented in a brand-new restoration.

Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Godfather: Part III, director/screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola brings a definitive new edit and restoration of the final film in his epic
Godfather trilogy--Mario Puzo's THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), now in his 60s, seeks to free his family from crime and find a suitable successor to his empire. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy
Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. The film's meticulously restored picture and sound, under the supervision of American Zoetrope and Paramount Pictures, includes a
new beginning and ending, as well as changes to scenes, shots, and music cues. The resulting project reflects author Mario Puzo and Coppola's original intentions of The Godfather: Part III, and delivers, in the words of Coppola, "a more appropriate
conclusion to The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II."
1974 Italy horror by Ovidio G Assonitis and Robert Barrett just released on US Blu-ray in the uncut export version
20th November 2020
Beyond the Door is a 1974 Italy horror by Ovidio G Assonitis (as O Hellman) and Robert Barrett (as R Barrett). Starring Juliet Mills, Richard Johnson and Gabriele Lavia.
Generally released in an uncut Export Version (titled The Devil Within Her) but the film was shortened in the US for its theatrical release.
The film was shortened in the US after Warner Brothers won a law suit claiming
that the film infringed Warner's copyrights over its film The Exorcist. Beyond the Door was shortened to remove the infringing content.

Legendary filmmaker Ovidio G. Assonitis, whose Tentacles and Piranha II sought to cash in on the killer fish craze spawned by Jaws , first hit pay dirt in 1974
with Beyond the Door a gloriously bonkers riff on The Exorcist featuring Emmy Award-winning actress Juliet Mills and distinguished British actor Richard Johnson.
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, Beyond the Door stars Mills
as Jessica Barrett, a young mother who starts to develop strange behaviors whilst pregnant with her third child. Before you can say split pea soup, Jessica is displaying signs of full-blown demonic possession complete with projectile vomiting and
fully-rotating head! Could it be that she s carrying the child of the Antichrist himself?
Described as disgusting, scary trash and maddeningly inappropriate by film critic Roger Ebert and subject to a lawsuit by Warner Bros. (who claimed copyright
infringement against a certain William Friedkin film), the devilish denizens at Arrow Video have summoned up this wickedly entertaining popcorn spiller fit for Satan himself!

Possessor is a 2020 UK / Canada Sci-Fi horror thriller by Brandon Cronenberg. Starring Andrea Riseborough, Christopher Abbott and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Tasya Vos is a corporate agent who uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies, driving them to commit assassinations for the benefit of the company. While she has a special gift for the work,
her experiences on these jobs have caused a dramatic change in her, and in her own life she struggles to suppress violent memories and urges. As her mental strain intensifies, she begins to lose control, and soon she finds herself trapped in the mind of
a man whose identity threatens to obliterate her own.
Possessor exists as a cut US R rated version and an uncut MPA Unrated Version titled Possessor Uncut. The producers were keen to differentiate between the two versions and the
'Uncut' tag is an official re-titling of the film.
A Running time of 103m suggest that it was the cut version that was passed 18 for UK cinema release. The home video version runs for 104m which matches with the Possessor Uncut version. This too
was passed 18 by the BBFC. However all advance publicity trailers and posters seem to feature the Possessor Uncut artwork.
Maybe this means that viewers watch at the cinema on 27th November will get the cut version whilst viewers watch the
simultaneous digital streaming release will get the uncut version. The DVD is set for release on 8th February 2021
at UK Amazon #ad
Let's hope all these releases are the uncut version as the director
Brandon Cronenberg himself states that he prefers the Possessor Uncut version. See article from latimes.com
Presented stateside by distributor Neon, Possessor Uncut -- titled so to distinguish it from an R-rated version that also will be available in some markets -- is the complete version as far as director Brandon
Cronenberg is concerned, replete with the uninhibited moments of sex and violence, such as the transfixing erection glimpsed in a sequence memorably bathed in electric blue, that might otherwise have earned the film an NC-17 rating. Cronenberg commented:
Generally I prefer explicit violence, and I prefer violence that is viscerally disturbing to people. I find it more unsettling if violence is very sanitized. If you have a PG-13 movie where 100 people get killed and no
one bleeds, to me that's doing a disservice by trivializing the violence. So I prefer people to have that visceral response, because you should.

See article from glidemagazine.com : " Over the decades they established themselves as the most ardent competitor to the
relatively tame output of Hollywood at the time. A Hammer film is one that was unafraid to get its hands dirty; it might be bloodier than its American counterpart and it was certainly sexier. It's not unfair to say that the trajectory of cinematic horror
was forever altered by Hammer and what they got away with "

17th November 2020
The Evil Dead is a 1981 USA horror by Sam Raimi. With Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss and Richard DeManincor.
Cut by the BBFC for cinema release. This cut cinema version was then banned
as one of the iconic video nasties. Further cut for a BBFC approved VHS release in 1990. Passed uncut for DVD in 2001. Uncut in the US
Summary Review: Raimi is already a legend
Raimi is already
a legend, because he created 'The Evil Dead', without a doubt one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Made on a shoe string budget as a labour of love, it still remains Raimi's best movie. He has subsequently worked on bigger projects with bigger
names but it is arguable whether he has ever surpassed the invention, thrills, energy and sheer fun of this. And why Bruce Campbell never became a genuine movie star after his debut here, and not just a much loved cult figure, is a complete mystery to
me.
'The Evil Dead' is a modern horror classic and absolutely ESSENTIAL viewing for any self-respecting movie buff! It doesn't get much better than this!

This film was originally seen for advice. The company was advised it was likely to be classified 15 uncut but that their preferred 12A classification could be obtained by making small changes to one scene to remove shots of a man
kicking a woman. When the film was submitted for formal classification, the shots in question had been removed and the film was classified 12A.
This comment refers to the scene where Elizabeth Debicki's character is on the floor and Kenneth Branagh's kicks her in the body several times.

Baba Yaga is a 1973 Italy Giiallo by Corrado Farina. With Carroll Baker, George Eastman and Isabelle De Funès.
Cut for cinema by the BBFC and by the MPAA. The Director restored cut
footage for Reloaded/Redux 18 rated 2008 DVD.
UK: The Reloaded version was passed 18 uncut for strong nudity, sex and implied sexual violence :
2020 Shameless (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad released on 9th November
2020
Promotional Material
This extended edition of BABA YAGA REDUX is published for the first time on Blu-ray with the previously cut scenes reinserted - especially for Shameless - by the
film director himself (the reinserted scenes have also been visually improved for this edition). This extended - redux - HD release finally does justice to the filmmaker Corrado Farina s unique original vision.
Farina's adaptation of the
epoch-making ' Valentina ' comics by Guido Crepax, whilst keeping the central oneiric sexiness of the heroine's adventures, is cerebral yet sparkling with intelligent gentle irony and sophisticated eroticism. Set against the seismic
changes of sexual and societal revolutions of the times, this is High Pop-fiction meets stream-of-consciousness storytelling!
Beautiful Valentina is a famous trendy photographer, one night she's nearly run over by an enigmatic older woman, Baba
Yaga
(Carroll Baker), who it turns out is not only the devil witch... but a sapphic predatory witch who must possess her! Pursued by the
sensuous seduction of a now obsessed Baba Yaga, Valentina must either submit to her carnal S&M lust
or escape what appears to
have become a waking nightmare of perverted realities!
The film s mixing comic strips with live action is ground-breaking and influential to this day.

PATRICK STILL LIVES — Uncut, uncensored, and scanned in 2k for the first time ever.
Shortly after the Ozploitation shocker PATRICK became a worldwide hit, producer
Gabriele Crisanti (BURIAL GROUND), screenwriter Piero Regnoli (NIGHTMARE CITY) and director Mario Landi (GIALLO IN VENICE) went way beyond 'unofficial sequel' or 'unauthorized remake' to instead create this "mind-boggling example of Italian
exploitation that has to be seen to be believed" (Moria).
When a young man becomes comatose after a freak accident, his father invites six strangers to a secluded villa for a weekend packed with relentless nudity, outrageous violence and
perhaps the most depraved sex/gore death in all of Italian horror. Sacha Pitoëff (INFERNO), Gianni Dei (MANHATTAN GIGOLO) and Mariangela Giordano (MALABIMBA) star in "one of the most ultimate exploitation films ever made" (Monster Pictures),
now scanned uncut from the original negative for the very first time in 40 years.

the enemy's garrison. But along the way, a steamy romance develops between them when the soft-spoken hero discovers the nun is not what she seems. Ending with a violent climax at the well-protected fort, this action-packed western classic cemented
Eastwood's status as a true cinematic superstar. Featuring a masterful score by the great Ennio Morricone (A Fistful of Dollars). This 2-disc special edition includes 4K restorations of both the international and domestic cuts.

The BBFC has just reworked its website and significantly reduced the functionality of its classifications database.
Indeed the new layout is prettier than before but now the database offers significantly less information than before.
The BBFC
noted this change in a rather understated tweet:
We have just relaunched our website with a more simplified search function.
In fact the BBFC have removed the following significant functionalities:
The database no longer provides a page listing recent BBFC decisions for upcoming releases. It takes way the transparency of being able to monitor the latest decisions.
The database no longer offers an advance search facility whereby users
can seek films by director or cast etc.
The database cannot be searched via alternative titles, even when the film has been released with a different title. Only the title that the BBFC uses as its primary title can be searched upon.
Cuts information detailing the amount of cuts, or even if cuts have been made at all is no longer presented. On occasions that the BBFC has commented on cuts then these comments are still available but these do not detail the amount of running time cut.
Banned/Rejected films no longer appear in the database.
Film running times are now only specified to the minute rather than to the second as before.
On the plus side the database search facility provides extra links over and above the database entry. For example searching on a title reveals if the film has a case study or is mentioned in a press release.

and The Mule, comes this western masterpiece and homage to his "The Man with No Name" legend. Eastwood portrays a mysterious stranger who emerges out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the guilt-ridden town of Lago. After committing
three murders in the first 20 minutes, The Stranger is hired by the town's citizens to protect them from the three vengeful gunmen about to be released from jail.
Eastwood's second film as a director is a tribute to his three spaghetti western
classics with the great Sergio Leone, and features a strong supporting cast that includes Verna Bloom (Medium Cool), Marianna Hill (The Baby), Mitchell Ryan (The Hunting Party), Jack Ging (Play Misty for Me), Geoffrey Lewis (Every Which Way but Loose),
Anthony James (In the Heat of the Night), John Hillerman (Blazing Saddles), John Quade (Breakheart Pass) and Billy Curtis (The Terror of Tiny Town). Beautifully shot in CinemaScope by Bruce Surtees (Dirty Harry) with a great screenplay by Ernest Tidyman
(The French Connection) and a memorable score by Dee Barton (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot).

Hong Kong Legends unearth a wonderfully bizarre Jackie Chan classic and apply the Ultra-Bit treatment to show it off like never before. This time we join Jackie with his head in a
book and some helpful ghostly kung fu teachers! Believe it or not that spells action scenes aplenty as Jackie needs a manual which has been stolen from his temple in order to combat the '7Fists'. In the wrong handsthis knowledge could spell disaster so
it's up to Jackie to track down the traitor and counter the deadly fight moves that the book has endowed upon the thief.
This early Jackie Chan gem lets him play the type of bumbling student role he perfected in Drucken Master and Snake in the
Eagle's Shadow to great effect. Cue a raft of amusing fight scenes under the direction of Lo Wei (Fist of Fury) and you've got qualityarmchair comic action viewing that's not to be missed!

1981 USA video nasty by Sam Raimi set for UK 4K Blu-ray release on 17th November 2020
24th October 2020
The Evil Dead is a 1981 USA horror by Sam Raimi. With Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss and Richard DeManincor.
Cut by the BBFC for cinema release. This cut cinema version was then banned as one of the iconic video nasties. Further cut for a BBFC approved VHS release in 1990. Passed uncut for DVD in 2001. Uncut in the US
Summary Review:
Raimi is already a legend
Raimi is already a legend, because he created 'The Evil Dead', without a doubt one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Made on a shoe string budget as a labour of love, it
still remains Raimi's best movie. He has subsequently worked on bigger projects with bigger names but it is arguable whether he has ever surpassed the invention, thrills, energy and sheer fun of this. And why Bruce Campbell never became a genuine movie
star after his debut here, and not just a much loved cult figure, is a complete mystery to me.
'The Evil Dead' is a modern horror classic and absolutely ESSENTIAL viewing for any self-respecting movie buff! It doesn't get
much better than this!

Two Thousand Maniacs! is a 1964 USA horror by Herschell Gordon Lewis. Starring Connie Mason, William Kerwin and Jeffrey Allen.
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS in 1986. Uncut since 2002 18 rated DVD.
Promotional Material
In 1963, director Herschell Gordon Lewis pulled a cow s tongue out of an
actress mouth on camera, and in doing so, changed the landscape of horror cinema forever. That sequence was just one of numerous gruesome gags featured in Blood Feast, the film credited as being the world s first gore movie. It s no exaggeration to say
that the modern gross-out movies of today owe their very existence to the pioneering efforts of H.G. Lewis.
But whilst Lewis is most widely celebrated for his blood-and-guts epics (Two Thousand Maniacs!, The Wizard of Gore et al.), there s more to
the prolific director than splatter. From tales of sordid photographers (Scum of the Earth) to sex robots (How to Make a Doll), from biker girl-gangs (She-Devils on Wheels) to youths-run-amok (Just for the Hell of It), and from psychic witches (Something
Weird) to hard liquor-loving hillbillies (Moonshine Mountain), the filmography of H.G. Lewis reads like a veritable wish-list of exploitation movie madness.
Now, for the first time ever, Arrow Video is proud to present fourteen of the Godfather of
Gore s most essential films (including nine Blu-ray world debuts), collected together at last and packed full of eye-popping bonus content. So put your feet up, pour yourself a glass of good ol moonshine, and prepare yourself for a feast H.G. Lewis

Everyone knows the classic American horror films. Night of the Living Dead, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and A
Nightmare on Elm Street, to name but a few. But we want to tell you a different story: a story of the unsung heroes of stars-and-stripes terror, films that have remained on the fringes of the genre either through lack of availability or else sheer
obscurity. This is where American Horror Project comes in.
Volume One of this series presents three tales of violence and madness from the 1970s.
Malatesta's Carnival of Blood (Christopher Speeth, 1973) sees a family arrive at a
creepy, dilapidated fairground in search of their missing son, only to find themselves at the mercy of cannibalistic ghouls lurking beneath the park.
Meanwhile, The Witch Who Came from the Sea (Matt Cimber, 1976), stars Millie Perkins (The
Diary of Anne Frank) as a young woman whose bizarre and violent fantasies start to bleed into reality literally.
Lastly, every parent s worst nightmare comes true in The Premonition (Robert Allen Schnitzer, 1976), a tale of psychic terror
in which five-year-old Janie is snatched away by a strange woman claiming to be her long-lost mother.
Remastered from the best surviving elements and contextualised with extensive supplementary material, American Horror Project proudly presents an
alternative history of American horror and film heritage.

1974 Italy horror by Ovidio G Assonitis and Robert Barrett just released on UK Blu-ray in a cheaper edition with the uncut Export Version
15th October 2020
Beyond the Door is a 1974 Italy horror by Ovidio G Assonitis (as O Hellman) and Robert Barrett (as R Barrett). Starring Juliet Mills, Richard Johnson and Gabriele Lavia.
Generally released in an uncut Export Version but the film was shortened in the US for its theatrical release.
The film was shortened in the US after Warner Brothers won a law suit claiming that the film infringed
Warner's copyrights over its film The Exorcist. Beyond the Door was shortened to remove the infringing content.
UK: Passed Suitable for 15 years and over uncut for:
2020 Arrow Special Edition (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon released on 12th
October 2020
Promotional Material
Legendary filmmaker Ovidio G. Assonitis, whose Tentacles and Piranha II sought to cash in on the killer fish craze spawned by Jaws, first hit pay dirt in 1974 with Beyond the Door a
gloriously bonkers riff on The Exorcist featuring Emmy Award-winning actress Juliet Mills and distinguished British actor Richard Johnson.
Set against the backdrop of San Francisco, Beyond the Door stars Mills as Jessica Barrett, a young mother
who starts to develop strange behaviors whilst pregnant with her third child. Before you can say split pea soup, Jessica is displaying signs of full-blown demonic possession complete with projectile vomiting and fully-rotating head! Could it be that she
s carrying the child of the Antichrist himself?
Described as disgusting, scary trash and maddeningly inappropriate by film critic Roger Ebert and subject to a lawsuit by Warner Bros. (who claimed copyright infringement against a certain William
Friedkin film), the devilish denizens at Arrow Video have summoned up this wickedly entertaining popcorn spiller fit for Satan himself!

the tradition of Harper and The Long Goodbye. Down-on-his-luck New York private eye P.J. Detweiler (George Peppard, Newman's Law) takes a bodyguard job to protect Maureen Preble (Gayle Hunnicutt, Marlowe), the mistress of shady millionaire William
Orbison (Raymond Burr, Rear Window). P.J. gets in over his head after Orbison's business partner is gunned down and he's framed for the murder. It becomes clear to P.J. that he's been set up and after his release by the authorities, he makes it back to
New York to confront the masterminds of the plot. Beautifully shot in CinemaScope by Loyal Griggs (Shane) with a memorably jazzy score by Neal Hefti (Duel at Diablo). The wonderful supporting cast includes Brock Peters (Framed), Wilfrid Hyde-White (The

In 1978, one film changed the face of cinema forever. Long established as one of the most hated, debated and divisive movies of all time, I Spit On Your Grave has been
condemned by some as 'vile and depraved', whilst others hail it as a 'misunderstood masterpiece of cinema' and 'the ultimate feminist movie'.
Now the original X-rated cult classic is back, newly released on double disc special edition, and packed
with fresh and exclusive bonus material. Re-experience the phenomenon that shocked and divided the world and influenced an entire genre and generation of film-makers, with Camille Keaton's portrayal of young writer Jennifer Hills, her horrific plans for
revenge, and some of the most gruesomely, unforgettable scenes ever captured to film. DVD
