his beautiful daughter hostage. While trying to evade the police, the punks force Chandu to take them to his secluded mansion where they plan to seek refuge for the night and wait for the heat to die down. Unbeknownst to them, Chandu's obsession with the

There are no censorship issues with this release. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
There is also a UK release. Promotional Material From the outrageous imagination of cult director Teruo Ishii ( Orgies of Edo , Horrors of Malformed Men ) comes this infamous omnibus
of three shocking tales of crime and punishment based on true-life documented cases set during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate. The first tale sees the beautiful Mitsu (Masumi Tachibana) going to horrifying lengths to tend to her older brother
Shinz (Teruo Yoshida), a carpenter injured in a work accident, but the law catches up on them and metes out a terrifying retribution after they violate the ultimate taboo. In the second, unfettered passions in a Buddhist nunnery are not allowed to go
unpunished after abbess Reih (Yukie Kagawa) and her attendant Rintoku (Naomi Shiraishi) encounter a virile young monk from a neighboring temple. In the closing segment, a sadistic torturer (Fumio Watanabe) attempts to show a tattoo artist (Asao Koike)
how to depict convincing expressions of faces of pain in his work by allowing him to sketch a selection of Europeans as they are tortured for entering Japan with the aim of spreading Christianity. Ishii s notorious portmanteau of Edo-era excess
signaled a change in direction for a director until then regarded for his crime and yakuza films, setting the ball rolling on the run of grotesque historical anthologies for which he is now best remembered. Vehemently denounced by the critics of the day,
Shogun s Joy of Torture set a new benchmark for the depiction of sex, sadism and depravity in Japanese exploitation, with Ishii staging his elaborate torture methods with an unmatched verve and inventiveness. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS

Promotional Material In every second of every day, it improves our lives. And in a flash, it can end them. In today s world of modern conveniences, everything we rely on is run by electricity. But
what happens if the power we take for granted turns against us? Old man Holger knows. He claims electricity is a living presence, whose voice can only be silenced by getting rid of anything that can hear it. Bill Rockland ( Cliff De Young
; Shock Treatment , Flight of the Navigator ) however, refuses to believe him. It must have been an accident when an electric spark ruptured the gas pipe that nearly killed Bill s son ( Joey Lawrence ). And it s
surely a coincidence when his wife ( Roxanne Hart ) is severely scalded by their electric water heater. But when his own power tools attack him and an electrical fire turns their home into a blazing inferno, Bill realises Holger may have
been right after all, and perhaps the time has come to finally pull the plug! A VHS favourite, Pulse returns to home video on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK as part of Eureka Classics .

Demons is a 1985 Italian horror by Lamberto Bava.
With Urbano Barberini, Natasha Hovey and Karl Zinny.
Cut by the BBFC for cinema release, VHS and DVD until 2000. Uncut and 18
rated since 2006. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US albeit with sound track and dubbing changes, and the removal of product placements. Demons 2 is a1986 Italy horror film by Lamberto Bava.

Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni.
Uncut by the BBFC. Cut in the US for an R rating but the uncut version is
released MPAA unrated. Promotional Material 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 both classic films, more vivid and terrifying than ever before, alongside a wealth of bonus

There are no censorship issues with this release which contains 18 rated strong real sex. UK: The cinema release was passed 18 uncut for strong real sex, nudity, very strong language:
Review: Throbbing orgy See article from
theguardian.com Muscle's centrepiece sequence is a dingy, throbbing orgy scene set in a grubby suburban home in north-east England. It is so hypnotically grim that it takes a few moments to realise that the majority of
performers don't appear to be faking it. Sudden, unsimulated sex comes as a shock to the viewer; what was it like to shoot? I had heard a story that the film's director, Gerard Johnson, simply filled a house with swingers, left
them to it and filmed whatever stragglers they found when they returned three days later. Yeah, it's basically that, says Fairbrass. Gerard was inundated with people who wanted to be in this scene. Literally inundated. It was so intense. So intense. You
had the people who were willing to go further and the people who weren't willing to go too far, so it was all orchestrated in a very professional way. Everybody had to consent.

his tormentors in outrageous recreations of his favorite film scenes... A slasher that's profoundly infused with cinephilia and old Hollywood iconography from its first frame to its last, Vernon Zimmerman's ( Bobby Jo and the Outlaw ) FADE TO BLACK

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. HUMPP in
its original Spanish language -- available for the first time ever on home video with English subtitles! Bonus Features:
1. Region Free Blu-ray
2. Newly scanned & restored in 2k from its 35mm internegative

Family Portraits Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America is a 2003 USA horror drama by Douglas Buck

There are no censorship issues with this release. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
Promotional Material FAMILY PORTRAITS - The worldwide Blu-ray premiere of Douglas Buck's devastating anthology.
Over the course of seven years, three short films about the brutal dissolution
of the American family - CUTTING MOMENTS (1997), HOME (1998) and PROLOGUE (2003) - elicited both horrified gasps and standing ovations at film festivals around the world. When combined into a theatrical feature, this trilogy by
writer/producer/director/editor Douglas Buck - whose directing credits would eventually include the SISTERS remake and 'The Accident' segment of THE THEATRE BIZARRE - was hailed as "nightmarish" (The New York Times), "like Todd Solondz on
crack" (Digitally Obsessed) and "the most chilling portrait of the loss of humanity in the manicured lawns of Middle America ever made" (LA Weekly). Buck's "unbearably intense and enormously moving" (Filmecho) stunner is now
scanned in 2k from the original negative for the first time ever with all-new Special Features.

Forgotten Gialli: Volume #1 Forgotten Gialli: Volume #1 is a 2021 film set by León Klimovsky, Javier Aguirre..
Starring Ágata Lys, Heinrich Starhemberg and Patty Shepard There are no
censorship issues with this release. US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
- 2021 Vinegar Syndrome (RA) Blu-ray at US Amazon #ad released on 26th January 2021
Promotional Material The giallo remains one of the most popular sub-genres in Italian & Spanish film history. But for all of the well-known and classic films the genre has spawned, so many others have
been nearly impossible to enjoy since their theatrical debuts. This first entry in our 'Forgotten Gialli' series presents three rarities, none of which have ever been legally available in the U.S. TRAUMA : Daniel, a writer seeking seclusion to
work on his new book, finds himself stranded at a rural bed & breakfast run by a strange and prudish young woman and her ailing, wheelchair-bound husband who remains shut in his room all day. However, as night falls, a psychotic, razor-wielding
killer begins stalking the B&B, brutally slashing the throats of its most sex-crazed guests, whose bodies and luggage then mysteriously disappear the following morning. A satisfyingly trashy low-budget Spanish giallo, which inadvertently also
ranks as one of the country's earliest proto-slashers, León Klimovsky's TRAUMA aka Violación Fatal is filled with gratuitous sex and nudity, along with bloody killings. Barely released outside of Spain, Vinegar Syndrome presents TRAUMA
, on Blu-ray, in a brand new 2K restoration of its camera negative and in its longest version ever presented on home video. THE KILLER IS ONE OF 13 : A recent widow has invited a group of family friends to her large and secluded country
home. However, what the guests don't know is that they've been assembled because their host suspects one of them might be her husband's killer and is intent on uncovering the identity of his murderer. As the guests begin to suspect each other, revealing
long kept and sinister secrets in the process, an unknown, black-gloved killer begins bumping them off in a variety of nasty ways. A unique Spanish take on Agatha Christie's oft-adapted novel And Then There Were None , exploitation auteur
Javier Aguirre's THE KILLER IS ONE OF 13 is uncharacteristically literary-in-structure, but never skimps on its requisite bloodshed. Featuring some of Spain's top genre film stars including Patty Shepard , Jack Taylor , and Paul
Naschy , Vinegar Syndrome brings this to Blu-ray, newly restored in 2K from its original negative and available in North America for the first time in any format. THE POLICE ARE BLUNDERING IN THE DARK : A young nude-model is violently
stabbed to death with a pair of scissors. It soon emerges that three other women have already fallen prey to this unknown maniac, and that all three victims have a single and unique connection: they all served as models for an eccentric photographer
named Parisi. When another young woman with a date to be photographed is murdered, her journalist boyfriend decides to investigate the crimes and quickly finds himself mixed up with Parisi, who reveals that he's working on a camera capable of
photographing people's thoughts! The only film credit from 'one-and-done' director, Helia Colombo, THE POLICE ARE BLUNDERING IN THE DARK is a satisfyingly sleazy and decidedly oddball giallo rarity, filled with bloody killings, plentiful
nudity, wild plot twists, and plenty of general weirdness. Unseen outside of its native Italy, Vinegar Syndrome presents this gem in a fresh, 2K restoration of its original negative and in its first official home video release anywhere in the world.

Silent Madness Silent Madness is a 1984 USA horror thriller by Simon Nuchtern
Starring Belinda Montgomery,Viveca Lindfors,Solly Marx
Cut by the BBFC for 18 rated VHS and 18 rated DVD in 2002. Uncut and MPAA R rated in the US. once banned i Sweden. US: Uncut and MPAA R rated for:
Promotional Material When a glitch in the computer system at an asylum for the criminally insane results in the release of the wrong patient - a giant-in-stature homicidal maniac named Howard Johns who
has a penchant for killing college coeds - it's up to one of the institute's top doctors to track him down. Unfortunately, it's not just Howard she has to worry about, as the administration of the asylum has decided to cover up the error to avoid bad
press, going as far as to hire a duo of thugs to permanently 'silence' the good doctor. Soon enough, Howard finds his way back to the sorority house he once terrorized and sets out to murder the latest batch of nubile coeds who have taken up residence in
the stately manor. One of the few slashers produced during the short-lived, early 80s revival of 3D movies, Simon Nuchtern's ( Savage Dawn ) SILENT MADNESS knows exactly what audiences want, and delivers. Heavily gelled lighting and
excellent use of 3-D photography, from Gerald Feil ( Friday the 13th Part III ), elevate the high body count drive-in classic, which stars Belinda Montgomery ( TRON: Legacy ), Viveca Lindfors ( Creepshow ), and career
stuntman, Solly Marx ( Phantasm II ) as the the diabolical Howard Johns. Never officially released on disc and nearly impossible to see in its original scope and 3-D version, Vinegar Syndrome presents SILENT MADNESS on Blu-ray, newly
restored from its original 3-D negative and presented in Digital 3-D (which mirrors the theatrical experience), Flat (2-D), and Anaglyph 3-D, which you can enjoy with your custom pair of 3-D glasses, included with this disc! Bonus Features:

A stunning new restoration from Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation of Roger Corman's 1964 classic THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH. Vincent Price stars as evil Prince Prospero who sells his soul to the devil and then enjoys
the latter's patronage by living the most decadent and lavish lifestyle he can manage. He derides even more pleasure from the perverse satisfaction he takes in seeing his impoverished subjects fall victim to a painful and devastating plague that is
sweeping the land. Based on the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe, the film also stars Hazel Court and Jane Asher.

The Valdez Horses The Valdez Horses is a 1973 Italy / Spain / France action western drama by John Sturges and Duilio Coletti.
Starring Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland and Marcel Bozzuffi.
BBFC category cuts were required for an A rated 1973 cinema release. The film was uncut for 15 rated home video release but a 12 rated DVD looks cut. Uncut and MPAA PG rated in the US. UK: Passed 15 uncut for
strong violence for:
- 2021 Powerhouse Films (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad released on 25th
January 2021
Promotional Material One of several impressive westerns Charles Bronson made during his 1970s heyday, The Valdez Horses reunites the rugged star with celebrated director John Sturges, who he had
previously collaborated with on the perennial classics The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape.
A surprisingly thoughtful film, The Valdez Horses sees Bronson play a half-breed rancher who’s solitary life taming wild horses is upended when
three people enter his life: a young runaway (Vincent Van Patten), a corrupt land owner (Marcel Bozzuffi, The French Connection), and his beautiful sister (Jill Ireland, Breakout, The Valachi Papers).
Beautifully filmed in mountains of
Almería, Spain, a quintessential Spaghetti Western location, Sturges’ film contrasts fist fights and shootouts with considered characterisation and an unexpectedly melancholy tone.
