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."

1987 Japan anime horror previously cut but now released uncut on DVD and Blu-ray
21st December 2020
Thanks to Anthony
Wicked City is a 1987 Japan anime horror sci-fi by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. With Gregory Snegoff, Mike Reynolds and Alexandra Kenworthy.
There has been peace between the worlds of the mortals
and the supernatural for centuries, but the balance is now being threatened. The Radical elements from the Supernatural world are crossing over into the mortal universe for the purpose of destroying the peace forever!
The film was cut
by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS in 1993 and cinema release in 1994. The 1993 BBFC cuts were:
A panning shot of Jin having his hand on Maki's crotch is deleted
Close-up of Maki's crotch with Jin's hand on it, along with the subsequent shot of Maki's hair grabbing Jin, which is cut for continuity.
The demon creature forcing
its tongue to Maki's mouth, and then doing the "old in-out".
The beginning of Maki's rape by the demons is short of a demon mauling on her breast, and the following brief rape shot.
The rest of Maki's rape is massively reduced
and cut (over 20 seconds). This includes the demons mauling and her raping her.
Raping of Maki in the demon base has lost four close-ups - the demons squeezing her breasts, Maki getting raped from behind, a close of Maki's face, and of her
chained hands.
The films has been re-released in 2020 as a double bill with Demon City Shinjuku and has been released uncut on DVD and Blu-ray. Anthony commented:
I can confirm, judging by the
existing descriptions of what the BBFC cut, that this brand-new 2020 DVD and Blu-Ray release of Wicked City is uncut.
The running time stacks up with the uncut version too.
UK: BBFC details not yet published though for:

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. See
pictorial cuts from movie-censorship.com
US: Uncut and rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some suggestive

Reviews
See review from flickeringmyth.com : " Based on the transgressive novel by J.G. Ballard, has David Cronenberg's fingerprints all over
it "
See review from theguardian.com : " The controversy surrounding the original
release of this dark exploration of sexy car accidents now seems quaintly outdated -- but the film holds up well "
Promotional Material
Technology and sexuality meet in a head-on collision in Crash director David Cronenberg s controversial adaptation of writer J.G. Ballard s hugely transgressive 1973 novel
starring James Spader and Holly Hunter.
Spader stars as James Ballard, an advertising executive whose deviant sexual desires are awakened by a near fatal automobile accident with Dr Helen Remington (Hunter). Soon the pair, alongside Ballard s wife
Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), are drawn into an underground world of car crash fetishism presided over by renegade scientist Vaughan (Elias Koteas). Danger, sex and death become entwined as eroticism and technology join together in a disturbing, deadly
union.
Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival for originality, daring and audacity, Crash remains an incredibly subversive and confrontational piece of cinema Cronenberg himself describes it as a dangerous film now
newly refurbished in a stunning 4K restoration.

Stanley Kubrick's dazzling, Academy Award® -winning* achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with
Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonised space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into
immortality. "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin.

In the early 1980s, Dario Argento, the famed horror
maestro responsible for such classics as Suspiria and Deep Red, branched out from directing into producing, shepherding the work of his fellow filmmakers to the screen among them Lamberto Bava (Delirium, A Blade in the Dark), son of the legendary Mario
Bava. Together, they crafted two tales of terror that would become synonymous with Italian 80s horror, in which the veil between the real world and the silver screen is torn asunder. In 1985s Demons, a motley assortment of unwitting filmgoers accept
invitations to a screening at the mysterious Metropol theatre. However, as the brutal slasher film unspools, the horror breaks free from the constraints the screen, unleashing a swarm of slathering demons, intent on spreading their evil plague across the
globe. Then, in 1986s Demons 2, Hell comes direct to the living room as bloodthirsty demons descend on a luxury apartment block, devouring the residents and propagating their deadly plague.
Arrow Video is proud to present brand new 4K restorations of

SEVEN WOMEN FOR SATAN - A wild psychedelic nightmare of love, lust and damnation!
By day a mild-mannered businessman, in his dreams Boris Zaroff hunts naked females on
his country estates, just like his notorious father. One weekend, two visitors arrive at Boris's castle. The young girl is fascinated by tales of the wicked Zaroffs and asks if she can see their famous torture chamber. Maybe now the Zaroff's dreams can
become reality once more.
SEVEN WOMEN FOR SATAN, originally titled THE WICKED WEEKENDS OF COUNT ZAROFF is a stylish and erotic horror film that was actually banned in France in the 1970s. Severely cut from its original running time and more or
less forgotten for decades, the film now reaches Blu-ray in a stunningly restored new version created from the original negative.
Complete with a host of extras and with many deleted and alternate scenes, this release shows the film, for the
first time, in the form its maker intended. An extended version restores the film closer to its original running time and a nearly hour-long interview with cast member and assistant director Robert de Laroche gives a hugely entertaining and insightful
view into the making of the film, and the life and work of its creator Michel Lemoine.
Specs: Widescreen 1.66:1. DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo. Region: All.

The visionary first film from George Lucas in a director's cut A chilling exploration of the future is also a compelling examination of the present in George Lucas's THX 1138, starring
Robert Duvall as a man whose mind and body are controlled by the government. THX makes a harrowing attempt to escape from a world where thoughts are controlled, freedom is an impossibility and love is the ultimate crime. "The real excitement of THX
1138 is not really the message but the medium -- the use of film not to tell a story so much as to convey an experience. Stunning...dazzling...chilling and terribly powerful" (Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times).

1982 USA action Sci-Fi thriller by Ridley Scott with a long history of different versions just released on UK Blu-ray in the Final Cut
9th December 2020
Blade Runner is a 1982 USA action Sci-Fi thriller by Ridley Scott. Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer and Sean Young.
The US Theatrical Version was cut for violence to address viewer
antipathy for pre-release screenings. These cuts were not applied to the International Release. A few years later the film was revised in response to this success of a bootleg workprint sold as a Director's Cut. The tacky happy ending was removed along
with the film noir commentary to create the 1992 Director's Cut, but the cut violence was not restored. Finally the cut violence was restored to the Director's Cut to create the truly uncut, 2007 version called the Final Cut.
UK: The Final Cut was previously passed 15 uncut for strong violence for:

Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner dazzles in Ridley Scott's definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and
special effects. In a signature role as 21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yetvulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for
fugitive, murderous replicants -- and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.

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.

'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.
This release is the uncut Export Version

17th November 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!

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.

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.

western starring screen legends Clint Eastwood (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, High Plains Drifter) and Shirley MacLaine (Sweet Charity, Irma La Douce). Eastwood is a hard-hitting drifter who rides into town and single-handedly rescues a local nun
(MacLaine) from a gang of bandits. After meeting a band of Mexican revolutionaries bent on resisting the French occupation of Mexico, the cowboy and Sister Sara decide to join forces with the freedom fighters and set off on a deadly mission to capture
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.

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!

imprisoned for centuries in a barren field near the hamlet of Rathmore, Ireland. In time, this gruesome legacy has been forgotten, dismissed as an odd pre-Christian myth until Tom Garron (Donal McCann, December Bride) decides to plow the field his
ancestors knew better than to disturb. The seal is broken and an unspeakable evil is unleashed - on a rampage of blood and lust. Howard Hallenbeck (David Dukes, Gods and Monsters), an American historian on a working vacation with his family, discovers on
the stained glass windows of a local church a series of scenes illustrating the reign of terror of RawHead Rex, but the one piece of glass depicting the defeat of the monster is missing. RawHead Rex is on the loose, and he is insatiable as Howard is
desperately races against time for a way to stop the vicious monster. Directed by George Pavlou (Transmutations) with a screenplay by horror legend Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Candyman, Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions).

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
style!

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.

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!

Michael Sopkiw (BLASTFIGHTER, KILLER FISH) stars as a cocky paleontologist who crash-lands into a jungle hell chockfull of fashion models, graphic violence, rampant nudity, and tasty gobs of
flesh-chomping mayhem. Marta Anderson (BARE BEHIND BARS) co-stars in this "pure exploitative entertainment at its best" (Sex Gore Mutants) - also released as AMAZONAS and CANNIBAL FEROX II - co-written by the legendary Dardano Sacchetti (THE

Danny Huston, Peter Weller and Lisa Enos star in this biting satire on the behind-the-scenes of the Hollywood film industry, with all its drink and
drug-fuelled excess, from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Paperhouse).
Opening with the death of its titular protagonist, ivansxtc goes back in time to chart the final days of hot-shot Tinseltown agent Ivan Beckman Huston) and his fast-paced,
wheeler-dealer lifestyle, which will ultimately lead him to an early grave after a shock cancer diagnosis.
Loosely based on Leo Tolstoy's celebrated 1886 novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich, and featuring a searing performance by Danny Huston at its
core and wonderfully sleazy turn from Peter Weller as Ivan s biggest client, ivansxtc is a powerful meditation on life, death and morality set against the glitzy backdrop of La La Land.
