Perry.
Starring Richard Benjamin and Frank Langella and Carrie Snodgress.
Cut by the BBFC for X rated 1970 cinema release but uncut on 15 rated DVD

Tina Balser is a bored New York housewife-mother married to Jonathan, a pompous, social-climbing lawyer who ridicules her in front of their children, criticizing everything she does or wears. She begins an affair with
George Prager, a dashing, successful and blatantly sadistic writer. Finally after George has tormented Tina in much the same manner Jonathan has, and has been unfaithful to boot, she goes back to her husband and begins group therapy.

Amazon #ad released on 1st August 2022
Promotional Material Superbly directed by Frank Perry (The Swimmer, Play It as It Lays), with a scathing screenplay by Eleanor Perry (David and Lisa, Ladybug Ladybug), Diary of a Mad Housewife tells the
story of Tina Balser (Carrie Snodgress, The Fury, Pale Rider) a frustrated housewife trapped in an unhappy marriage to an insufferably controlling, status-obsessed bore (Richard Benjamin, Catch-22). Tina seeks solace in a fling with an abusive lover, the
arrogant writer Georg Prager (Frank Langella, Dracula), who treats her like a sex object, leading to therapy and further unhappiness. A caustic deconstruction of male chauvinism, Diary of a Mad Housewife was a huge
critical hit, earning its female lead an Academy Award nomination upon its release. The Perrys' film is presented here in both its theatrical cut, and a long-unseen alternative TV version." Extras "INDICATOR

Get Carter is a 1971 UK crime thriller by Mike Hodges.
With Michael Caine, Ian Hendry and Britt Ekland.
Cut by the BBFC for 1971 cinema release, then uncut and 18 rated on
home video. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. Summary Notes A vicious London gangster, Jack Carter, travels to Newcastle for his brother's funeral. He begins to suspect that his
brother's death was not an accident and sets out to follow a complex trail of lies, deceit, cover-ups and backhanders through Newcastle's underworld, leading, he hopes, to the man who ordered his brother killed. Because of his ruthlessness, Carter
exhibits all the unstopability of the cyborg in The Terminator (1984), or Walker in Point Blank (1967), and he and the other characters in this movie are prone to sudden, brutal acts of violence.
UK: Passed 18 uncut with a BBFC
trigger warning for strong sex, violence, references to child sex abuse:
Promotional Material Michael Caine is Jack Carter, the London gangland enforcer who returns to his hometown of Newcastle to avenge his brother's death. Rarely has the criminal underworld been so
realistically portrayed as in this 1971 masterpiece. Shot on location, resulting in a devastatingly authentic snapshot of life in the north east of England in the late-industrial period, Get Carter remains arguably the
grittiest and greatest of all British crime films. Newly restored in 4K from the original camera negative by the BFI, and approved by director Mike Hodges, Get Carter is back, looking and sounding better than ever.

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material Desperate for cash, young Caroline ( Ghetty Chasun ) agrees to be injected with an experimental serum by an unscrupulous blood bank doctor. She soon finds herself transformed into a
ravenous vampire, stalking the streets of New York City with an unquenchable lust for blood. After killing her doctor and a random string of unfortunate strangers, Caroline crosses paths with Lisa ( Michelle Bauer ), an innocent woman stranded in the
city after a breakup with her former girlfriend. The two broke and star-crossed lovers navigate through the city's desolate clubs and hotels, fueled only by their sexual lust and symbiotic need for companionship. When Lisa finally learns of Caroline's
murderous proclivities, she becomes a willing participant in her vampiric crimes, until an unfortunate encounter with an indignant pimp leads to tragedy. Written and directed by SOV legend Donald Farmer ( Demon Queen ,
Scream Dream ), Red Lips marked the onscreen confluence of two iconic scream queens: legendary '80s siren Michelle Bauer ( Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers ) and the awe-inspiring '90s enigma Ghetty Chasun ( Gorotica ). With an astonishing supporting cast of
cult movie luminaries including Kitten Natividad (Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens), George Stover (Nightbeast), Danny Fendley ( Deadly Run ), Lorissa McComas ( Stormswept ), Christine Cavalier ( Bloody Creek ), and Mandy Leigh ( Bloodscent ), Red
Lips quickly gained a reputation as a notorious, sex and gore filled, underground classic that is notable as one of the springboards for the SOV lesbian vampire movie explosion, which dominated video shelves and convention tables throughout the 1990s and
beyond. Bonus Features:

Immediately following HORROR OF DRACULA, Lee reprised the role in the quirky 1959 Italian comedy UNCLE WAS A VAMPIRE. Lee speaks fluent German opposite Klaus Kinski for the crazed 1962 krimi THE SECRET OF THE RED ORCHID. In the 1974 UK psycho-thriller DARK PLACES, Lee toplines a cast that includes Joan Collins, Herbert Lom and Jane Birkin. Lee's final performance as The Count in the 1976 French comedy DRACULA AND SON can at last be seen in its superior Director's Cut, while the ultra-rare 1989 Dutch drama MURDER STORY brings Lee into the sex shops of Amsterdam.

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
- 2022 American Genre Film (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on 26th July 2022
Promotional Material FINAL FLESH is unlike anything you've ever seen--on Earth or other places. In the early 2000s, Vernon Chatman (co-founder of the PFFR art collective, co-creator of WONDER SHOWZEN and
XAVIER: RENEGADE ANGEL , and producer of SOUTH PARK ) wrote a four-part screenplay about a family who lives adjacent to the Ground Zero of a thermonuclear disaster. Instead of sharing the finished script with Hollywood, Chatman sent each part to four
different companies that specialize in custom adult fetish videos. And FINAL FLESH was born. Like the custom song poem craze of the 1970s, this metaphysical brain-stabber is an outsider miracle of Biblical proportions. Filled with brilliant sight gags,
rubber monster masks, inventive toilet humor, and no sex, this is a surrealist spectacle of the highest order. Bonus Features:
1. Preserved from the original digital video master
2. Video introduction by On

Pink Flamingos is a 1972 USA crime comedy horror by John Waters.
Starring Divine, David Lochary and Mary Vivian Pearce.
Cut by the BBFC for varying amounts for an 18 rating between 1990 and 1999. Uncut and 18 rated for 2008 DVD but this was never released. Formally uncut and BBFC 18
rated for 2022 Blu-ray. Uncut and MPAA NC-17 rated in the US. UK: Passed 18 uncut for sexual violence, strong real sex, nudity:
- 2022 Sony/Criterion Collection (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad released on
25th July 2022
The BBFC agreed to an uncut 18 rated DVD release in 2008 but the release was cancelled. The BBFC commented in 2008 about the 3 cuts to be waived:
- Probably the most difficult scene was the one featuring a man assaulting a woman with live chickens. However, a careful viewing of the scene suggested that the handling of the chickens, although rough, was no stronger
than other scenes of animals being manhandled that had been passed in other films. Furthermore, although the chickens were killed, the killing was quick and clean and therefore not in breach of BBFC policy on animal cruelty.
-
The scene showing a man masturbating and injecting semen into a woman's vagina was grotesque and repulsive, rather than erotic. Although the Board had previously expressed concerns about the non-consensual nature of the scene, the
datedness of the film and the lack of credibility of the scene, argued against intervention. With regard to the sexual violence in the scene, the Board's conclusion was that the scene was so over-the-top and so divorced from reality, that the likely
response was disgust, shock and horror, rather than arousal.
- The brief explicit fellatio could be justified by the wider context of the film, in that the whole purpose of the film was to shock, disgust and amuse (in
a blackly comic fashion), rather than to arouse, and the explicitness of the image was important in creating the film's effect.
The BBFC's ratings info from 2022 reads: nudity : There is focus on a man's dilating anus, in close-up detail. There is wider full nudity. sex : There is a scene of unsimulated
fellatio between a fictional mother and son. There are other strong sex scenes, as well as references to ejaculation, masturbation and troilism. A man's semen is seen, in close-up detail. sexual violence and sexual threat :
A man rapes a woman, while daubing her in chicken blood. After masturbating over her, a man artificially inseminates an unconscious female prisoner. A man exposes himself to schoolgirls. other issues: In unsimulated
footage, a woman puts dog excrement in her mouth. There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), regular strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') and discriminatory terms such as 'fag', 'dyke' and 'queen'. A chicken is killed on-screen. Threat, gore
and implied violence are strong. There is brief drug misuse.
Promotional Material When a pair of sociopaths (MINK STOLE and DAVID LOCHARY) with a habit of kidnapping women in order to
impregnate them attempt to challenge her title, Divine resolves to show them and the world the true meaning of the word filthy. Incest, cannibalism, shrimping, and film history's most legendary gross-out ending--Waters and his merry band of Dreamlanders
leave no taboo unsmashed in this gleefully subversive ode to outsiderhood, in which camp spectacle and pitch-black satire are wielded in an all-out assault on respectability. |
Beware My Brethren is a 1972 UK horror by Robert Hartford-Davis.
With Ann Todd, Patrick Magee and Tony Beckley.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated UK cinema release in 1972. Released uncut internationally and was MPAA R rated in the US. Passed 15 uncut by the BBFC for 2010 DVD. UK: Passed Suitable for 15 years and over uncut for:
Promotional Material Robert Hartford-Davies (The Black Torment, Incense of the Damned) thrills with this early seventies British shocker by mixing religious fanaticism with sexploitation and horror in this
down beat gritty story of lust, murder and terror. When widow Birdy, joins a fundamentalist sect called The Brethren, she soon finds herself at the centre of a fire and brimstone existence where sin is dealt with in violent rather than spiritual terms.
Riffing on previous work like Psycho (1960) and more importantly Peeping Tom (1960), The Fiend taps into the distorted mind-set of an unhinged killer providing a bleak, yet sensationalised take on the British thriller.
Starring Patrick Magee (Masque of the Red Death, The Skull, Tales from the Crypt), The Fiend is a must for all lovers of cult horror. |

youngsters, harbors a dark and tormented past. Hell High -- which was released in some international territories as Raging Fury -- is a singular entry in the late '80s horror canon, melding elements of the revenge

Promotional Material THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP isn't a movie - it's a rite of passage. Easily one of the most brainbreaking sensory overloads in exploitation history, the story follows Dr. Humpp and his army
of grotesque monsters as they kidnap couples and drain their "blood forces of sex" to keep the doctor eternally young. Directed by the prolific Emilio Vieyra in Argentina, this movie combines artful gothic horror with unhinged sex, comic book
pulp, and a talking brain in a jar. Plus a monster who plays the guitar. Basically, this is what might have happened if Mario Bava collaborated with Doris Wishman after an acid binge. AGFA + Something Weird are
thrilled to present a brand-new restoration of this iconic sex-horror classic, complete with a new commentary track from filmmaker Frank Henenlotter (BASKET CASE). Plus LA VENGANZA DEL SEXO, Vieyra's original "horror" cut of THE CURIOUS DR.

Pink Flamingos is a 1972 USA crime comedy horror by John Waters.
Starring Divine, David Lochary and Mary Vivian Pearce.
Cut by the BBFC for varying amounts for an 18 rating between 1990 and 1999. Uncut and 18 rated for 2008 DVD but this was never released. Formally uncut and BBFC 18
rated for 2022 Blu-ray. Uncut and MPAA NC-17 rated in the US. US: Uncut and MPAA NC-17 rated for:
- 2022 The Criterion Collection (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on 28th June 2022
The BBFC agreed to an uncut 18 rated DVD release in 2008 but the release was cancelled. The BBFC commented in 2008 about the 3 cuts to be waived:
- Probably the most difficult scene was the one featuring a man assaulting a woman with live chickens. However, a careful viewing of the scene suggested that the handling of the chickens, although rough, was no stronger
than other scenes of animals being manhandled that had been passed in other films. Furthermore, although the chickens were killed, the killing was quick and clean and therefore not in breach of BBFC policy on animal cruelty.
-
The scene showing a man masturbating and injecting semen into a woman's vagina was grotesque and repulsive, rather than erotic. Although the Board had previously expressed concerns about the non-consensual nature of the scene, the
datedness of the film and the lack of credibility of the scene, argued against intervention. With regard to the sexual violence in the scene, the Board's conclusion was that the scene was so over-the-top and so divorced from reality, that the likely
response was disgust, shock and horror, rather than arousal.
- The brief explicit fellatio could be justified by the wider context of the film, in that the whole purpose of the film was to shock, disgust and amuse (in
a blackly comic fashion), rather than to arouse, and the explicitness of the image was important in creating the film's effect.
The BBFC's ratings info from 2022 reads: nudity : There is focus on a man's dilating anus, in close-up detail. There is wider full nudity. sex : There is a scene of unsimulated
fellatio between a fictional mother and son. There are other strong sex scenes, as well as references to ejaculation, masturbation and troilism. A man's semen is seen, in close-up detail. sexual violence and sexual threat :
A man rapes a woman, while daubing her in chicken blood. After masturbating over her, a man artificially inseminates an unconscious female prisoner. A man exposes himself to schoolgirls. other issues: In unsimulated
footage, a woman puts dog excrement in her mouth. There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), regular strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') and discriminatory terms such as 'fag', 'dyke' and 'queen'. A chicken is killed on-screen. Threat, gore
and implied violence are strong. There is brief drug misuse.
Promotional Material John Waters made bad taste perversely transcendent with the forever shocking counterculture sensation
Pink Flamingos , his most infamous and daring cinematic transgression. Outré diva Divine is iconic as the wanted criminal hiding out with her family of degenerates in a trailer outside Baltimore while reveling in her tabloid notoriety as the
"Filthiest Person Alive." When a pair of sociopaths (Mink Stole and David Lochary) with a habit of kidnapping women in order to impregnate them attempt to challenge her title, Divine resolves to show them and the world the true meaning of the
word filthy. Incest, cannibalism, shrimping, and film history's most legendary gross-out ending--Waters and his merry band of Dreamlanders leave no taboo unsmashed in this gleefully subversive ode to outsiderhood, in which camp spectacle and pitch-black
satire are wielded in an all-out assault on respectability. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

There are no censorship issues with this release. UK: Passed Suitable for 15 years and over uncut for:
- 2022 Sony/Criterion Collection (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad released on
27th June 2022
Promotional Material While the Black Power movement was reshaping America, trailblazing director GORDON PARKS (The Learning Tree) made this groundbreaking blockbuster, which helped launch the blaxploitation
era and gave the screen a new kind of badder-than-bad action hero in John Shaft (Embassy's RICHARD ROUNDTREE, in a career-defining role), a streetwise New York City private eye who is as tough with criminals as he is tender with his lovers. After Shaft
is recruited to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Harlem mob boss (Amazing Grace's MOSES GUNN) from Italian gangsters, he finds himself in the middle of a rapidly escalating uptown vs. downtown turf war. A vivid time capsule of seventies Manhattan in
all its gritty glory that has inspired sequels and multimedia reboots galore, the original Shaft is studded with indelible elements--from Roundtree's sleek leather fashions to the iconic funk and soul score by ISAAC HAYES. |
