Promotional Material From director Tony Richardson comes this brilliant retelling of tragic events during the Crimean War between Britain and Russia in the 1850s. A British cavalry division, led
by the overbearing Lord Cardigan (Trevor Howard), engages in an infamously reckless strategic debacle against a Russian artillery battery. An inept chain of command and the arrogance of the aristocratic officers nearly destroys the brigade.

US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material Their Nightmare Was Further than Fear... It was BEYOND TERROR ! After a drug-fueled night of violence, a group of young degenerates and their hostages find themselves stranded in a
remote, abandoned church in rural Spain. Their evening of debauchery and blasphemy quickly turns to greed when they discover a local legend that tells of a vast fortune guarded by mummies in the catacombs beneath the ruins. Their lust for the treasure is
short-lived as they find that the supernatural horror in the catacombs is something further than fear... it is Beyond Terror! Beyond Terror (Más allá del terror) is a lost gem that is long overdue for rediscovery. Never available on home video in the
United States, Beyond Terror makes its worldwide Blu-ray debut from Cauldron Films with a brand new 4K scan from the camera negative that has been restored to its original grim glory. Co-written by Juan Piquer Simón (Pieces, Slugs), this early '80s
hybrid unfolds like an homage to Amando de Ossorio's Tombs of the Blind Dead, by way of Mario Bava's Rabid Dogs, with a healthy dose of violence, gore, sex, eerie crypts and supernatural revenge! Bonus features include: Reverse Blu-ray wrap

The Crimes of the Black Cat is a 1972 Italy mystery thriller by
Sergio Pastore.
Starring Anthony Steffen, Sylva Koscina and Giovanna Lenzi.
Cut by the BBFC for an X rated cinema release in 1976.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material After a young model seemingly dies of a heart attack, her lover, Peter Oliver (Anthony Steffen, The Night Evelyn Came out of the Grave, Django the Bastard) and his butler begin their
own investigation into the death and soon find an intertwined series of murders, all involving a cat and a yellow shawl. One step ahead of the police, but always right behind the killer, Peter manages to piece together clue after clue until the final,
shocking showdown with the bloodthirsty killer. Released in the shadows of Dario Argento's wildly successful The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (and one of over 30 Italian giallo films produced in 1972), The Crimes of the Black Cat delivers the style of a
classic giallo with sleazy, over the top violence that rivals Italian films from a decade later. Despite its pedigree of talent including Sylva Koscina (Lisa and the Devil), Renato De Carmine (Challenge to White Fang), Giacomo Rossi Stuart (Death Smiles
at a Murderer, Shanghai Joe), Umberto Raho (Amuck, Summertime Killer), and Annabella Incontrera (The Case of the Blood Iris), an eerie score by Manuel De Sica (Dellamorte Dellamore), and behind the scenes work from Fabrizio De Angelis (producer of
Zombie, The Beyond) The Crimes of the Black Cat has been largely ignored on home video. Previously unavailable in HD or in the proper aspect ratio, The Crimes of the Black Cat makes its worldwide Blu-Ray debut with an uncut 4K restoration via Cauldron
Films. Bonus features include: Commentary track with Fragments of Fear - A Giallo Podcast with Peter Jilmstad and Rachael Nisbet, English SDH Subtitles , Image Gallery, Trailer, Commentary by Troy Howarth and Nathaniel Thompson, Remembering Sergio

Emanuelle And The White Slave Trade Emanuelle And The White Slave Trade is a 1978 Italy drama by Joe D'Amato
Starring Laura Gemser, Ely Galleani and Gabriele Tinti
There are no censorship issues with this release. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material Laura Gemser returns to the role that made her famous in this scintillating work of depraved erotica, one of the many controversial entries in Italian director Joe D'Amato's Black
Emanuelle series. EMANUELLE AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE (aka LA VIA DELLA PROSTITUZIONE and EMANUELLE AND THE GIRLS OF MADAME CLAUDE) sees Gemser's comely and sexually curious journalist tracking down a notorious Mafia boss to the jungles of Kenya in hopes
of interviewing him for her newspaper. Along the way, Emanuelle inadvertently stumbles upon an even more sensational story, that of a vile international white slavery ring, run by the sadistic Madame Claude. Once again, Emanuelle must go undercover, this
time as a prostitute in Madame Claude's clandestine San Diego bordello, engaging in all manner of carnal couplings while secretly working to bring down the Madame's evil empire. EMANUELLE AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE is one of D'Amato's finest works, a
beautifully photographed (by the director himself) work of sex and sadism with a pumping soundtrack by composer Nico Fidenco (EMANUELLE AROUND THE WORLD, BOCCACCIO '70) and a cast that includes Ely Galleani (Lucio Fulci's A LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN),
Gabriele Tinti (VIOLENCE IN A WOMAN'S PRISON) and Gota Gobert (EMANUELLE IN AMERICA). Full Moon is excited to present this classic Eurosleaze epic completely uncut and remastered in HD from the best available materials. |

Threshold is a 2020 USA mystery drama by Powell Robinson (co-director), Patrick Robert Young (co-director)
Starring Joey Millin, Nadine Sondej-Robinson and Daniel
Abraham Stevens
There are no censorship issues with this release. UK : Passed 15 uncut for very strong language, strong threat, drug references, bloody
images:
Promotional Material When a phone call from out of the blue brings Leo (Joey Millin) back into contact with his sister, Virginia (Madison West), long estranged from her family due to years of drug abuse, he
arrives to find her alone in a bare apartment in the midst of an apparent overdose. After the convulsions and nausea subside, Virginia insists to Leo that she has been clean for 8 months due to the help of a mysterious group. She confides to her cynical
brother that her edginess and paranoia actually stem from a sinister ritual conducted by the group that took her in at her lowest and eventually revealed themselves to be a cult. This curse bound her emotions and physical sensations to a man she has
never met before. With his marriage on the rocks, Leo has his own demons to face. Nonetheless, he is reluctantly persuaded by Virginia to embark on a cross-country road trip to track down this shadowy stranger under the caveat that if he's nowhere to be
found and it's all in her head, she'll go to rehab. However, as their date with destiny draws nearer, Leo begins to suspect his sisters tall tale might have some substance. Threshold, the second feature from co-directors Powell Robinson and Patrick R
Young, following their debut Bastard (2015), was improvised and shot on two iPhones over the course of a 12-day road trip with a crew of just three. The result is an inventive and compelling psychological thriller with hints of the supernatural that
recalls such indie cult classics as Ben Wheatleys Kill List (2011) and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorheads Resolution (2013). SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS

- 2021 Arrow Limited Edition [Theatrical + Extended Versions] RA Blu-ray at US
Amazon released on 29th June 2021
Promotional Material THE SCREEN STRETCHES TO NEW HORIZONS TO TELL THE EPIC STORY OF THE SOUTHWEST! After making his first bonafide classic in Ride the High Country, director Sam Peckinpah took a step
towards the epic with Major Dundee. The film would, in many ways, define the rest of his career both on screen and off, as the drama behind the camera matched the action in front of Charlton Heston stars as Major Amos Dundee, a vainglorious Union
Cavalry officer, who mounts an expedition to hunt down Apache war chief Sierra Charriba. Building his own army of criminals, ex-slaves and Confederate POWs - among them one Captain Ben Tyreen (Richard Harris), whose intense former friendship with Dundee
is tainted with a sense of betrayal on both sides - Dundee heads into Mexico, his eye fixed firmly on a last shot at greatness. Legendarily acerbic, Major Dundee would be the first time that Peckinpah had a movie taken away from him. While a
director's cut may be lost to us, this Limited Edition shows us the thrilling, morally complex epic that Peckinpah was aiming for. Beautifully shot and with a stellar supporting cast including James Coburn, Warren Oates, and L.Q. Jones, it remains a
stunning achievement and an essential experience for anyone interested in the life and cinema of Bloody Sam. TWO-DISC LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS

extensive booklets. Strictly limited to 6,000 numbered units. The Shadow of the Cat (John Gilling, 1961). A house cat sees her mistress murdered by two servants under orders from her husband , and becomes ferociously

their new opera after she quits in the wake of a gruesome murder. When a new prospect, the nubile Christine Charles (Heather Sears), disappears, Harry cautiously investigates. Meanwhile, a mysterious masked man (Herbert Lom) who is eerily familiar with
the opera holds Christine captive and offers to groom her to play the part. Nightmare (Freddie Francis, 1964). Janet is a young student at a private school. Her nights are troubled by horrible dreams in which she
sees her mother, who is in fact locked in a psychiatric hospital, haunting her. Expelled because of her persistent nightmares, Janet is sent home where the nightmares continue.

lust does not run smooth... Branded with Hong Kong's infamous Category III rating for its commitment to carnality and starring amply endowed icon of Sino sex cinema Amy Yip (Sex and Zen), the supernatural studs at 88 Films are proud to present the

There are no censorship issues with this release. UK: Passed 15 uncut for strong violence, bloody images, sexual threat, nudity:
