Eyes Wide Shut Eyes Wide Shut is a 1999 UK/US erotic mystery thriller by Stanley Kubrick
Starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Todd Field
Cut for an MPAA R rating in the US. Uncut in the UK, bar a religious recitation that offended the easily offended Summary Notes A Manhattan doctor embarks on a bizarre,
night-long odyssey after his wife's admission of unfulfilled longing.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

- 2025 The Criterion Collection (RA) Blu-ray via US Amazon #ad released on 25th November
2025
Promotional Material Stanley Kubricks career-capping Eyes Wide Shut unfolds in a dreamscape vision of New York City, where doctor Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) and his
wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), confront the unconscious desires, jealousies, and fears threatening their marriage. A Christmastime odyssey into a surreal sexual underworld whose hidden power structures are laid frighteningly bare, the film marks the
fulfillment of the directors decades-long desire to adapt Arthur Schnitzlers novella Traumnovelle ( Dream Story ) and the culmination of his obsessive interest in the relationship
between institutional authority and the individual. Released in 1999, the film also serves as a fitting coda to a century of cinema, by one of its greatest visionaries--an endlessly tantalizing labyrinth whose myriad symbols, mysteries, and meanings are
still being unraveled.

Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks is a 1976 Canada/US women in
prison film by Don Edmonds.
With Dyanne Thorne, Max Thayer and Jerry Delony.
Banned by the BBFC from 1973 cinema release. Unbanned and uncut in 2013.
The US R rated version is heavily cut for violence Summary Review: Resplendent in khaki shorts Dyanne Thorn returns in the storming sequel to She Wolf , and it
seems to have been given a budget boost, as the setting moves to an Arabian oils sheik's kingdom in the middle of the desert, where Ilsa presides over his palace as right hand security guard and keeper of his harem of kidnapped beauties.
The film doesn't quite match the excesses of the first film in bad taste, and the camp comedy elements have all been increased, but there are still many gruesome scenes as the harem women are abused and tortured for various reasons,
including a pretty revolting sub-plot to assassinate the sheik by deploying a bomb placed inside a woman's body that will detonate during sex! Uniform fans will be pleased to see Ilsa resplendent in her khaki shorts and
boots, but she does not have the same presence as in the previous film because she is herself punished at one point by despotic sheik, and its a shame to see that the film recycles her weakness of falling in love with a hunky American, which once again
leads to her downfall. Versions

| UK: Passed 18 uncut for strong

The BBFC commented in the Annual Report covering 2013:
- Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks was refused a certificate when it was originally submitted to the BBFC in 1977. In 2013 it was submitted on video for DVD release and passed 18 without cuts. While there are scenes in which women
are abused and experimented upon with a love machine , these now appear dated and unrealistic and do not raise credible harm concerns.

|  | US: The R Rated version is significantly cut for violence for:
- 2012 Cheezy Flicks R0 DVD
From sexgoremutants.co.uk :
- When Satin and Velvet deliver a death blow to their victim, the camera lingering over the victims' bloodied face and screams has been removed. A few minutes later a few frames have been removed when a bag of body parts are emptied out the harem
floor.
- In the teeth removal scene , shots of blood dripping onto feet as the little white tootsies hit the floor have been purged.
- A full sequence of 1:11s is completely cut, ie the sadistic torture sequence in which a hapless
whore's breasts are clamped in a medieval style vice.
- Missing shots of ants eating into flesh
- Omitted shots of a gouged eye socket
- The most infamous scene of the movie (and arguably the whole ILSA series) the exploding dildo
sequence suffered numerous snips. Most notably Ilsa inciting the inevitable carnage with her demands of faster and deeper have been removed along with various shots of the victim's moans of pleasure. Obviously the brief but potent shot of
penetrated detonation itself simply skips to blood hitting for El Sharif's face.

The Man Who Could Cheat Death is a 1959 UK horror drama by Terence Fisher.
With Anton Diffring, Hazel Court and Christopher Lee. 
Cut by the BBFC for its original cinema release and the cuts have persisted into all subsequent releases. Summary review: Melodrama A remake of The Man in Half Moon Street.
A mad doctor plans to live forever through periodic gland transplants from younger, healthier human victims. Jimmy Sangster's screenplay based on the Barre Lyndon play tends to be heavy on the melodrama and
short on the thrills. Some stylish direction from Fisher and Christopher Lee in a supporting role and good acting on hand from Hazel Court and others.

Mixed Blood Mixed Blood is a 1984 France/US comedy drama by Paul Morrissey
Starring Marília Pêra, Richard Ulacia and Linda Kerridge
BBFC cuts were required for 18 rated cinema and VHS releases in 1985 and 1986. Uncut and MPAA Unrated in the US.
Summary Notes Brazilian dealers battle Latino
rivals in Manhattan using teen soldiers. Conflict grows to involve German supplier, his English girlfriend, Puerto Rican ex-cop, and Japanese captain amid corruption and violence.
Versions
Promotional Material *This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Rita la Punta (Marília Pêra, Central Station), a Brazilian single mother
living in New Yorks Alphabet City, resides with her drug-dealing son Thiago (Richard Ulacia) and his gang of teenage delinquents. In an attempt to control the drug trade below 14th Street, Rita goes against the leader of a rival neighborhood gang, Juan
the Bullet (Angel David, The Crow), spurring a turf war. When Carol (Linda Kerridge, Fade to Black), a friend of a drug lord known as The German (Ulrich Berr, Beethovens Nephew), expresses an interest in Thiago, things become even more complicated.
Written and directed by NYC art scene, and exploitation cinema luminary Paul Morrissey, MIXED BLOOD is a characteristically grimy descent into urban malaise that is often punctuated by moments of gallows humor. Featuring an eclectic ensemble cast that
includes the screen debut of John Leguizamo (Summer of Sam) and Warhol superstar Geraldine Smith (Flesh, Bad), MIXED BLOOD is an essential, but often overlooked, entry into the canon of independent films made on the streets of New York in the 1980s.

Sleepless Sleepless is a 2001 Italy slasher horror giallo by Dario Argento
Starring Max von Sydow, Stefano Dionisi and Chiara Caselli
There are no censorship issues with this release
Summary Notes A retired police detective and a young amateur sleuth team up to find a serial killer who's resumed a killing spree in Turin, Italy after a 17-year period.
US: Uncut and MPAA Unrated for:
- 2025 Vinegar Syndrome R0 4K Blu-ray/RA Blu-ray Combo at US Amazon #ad released on 25th
November 2025
Promotional Material A series of grisly murders are taking place across the Italian city of Turin, prompting the authorities to fear that a copycat killer is on the loose and emulating a gruesome spree
that occurred seventeen years prior. Those murders were pinned on a writer with dwarfism by the name of Vincenzo de Fabritiis, who subsequently passed away, effectively closing the case. Now, Detective Ulisse Moretti, who led the original investigation,
finds himself drawn out of retirement, and, together with the young Giacomo Gallo - whose mother was a victim of the supposed 'Dwarf Killer' - attempts to unravel the mystery of these new slayings as the mutilated corpses continue to pile up.
Returning to the atmosphere and themes of his landmark giallo Deep Red (1975), 2001s SLEEPLESS saw the welcome return of horror maestro Dario Argento (Suspiria, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) to the subgenre with which he had made his name.
Starring Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) and featuring a host of splatterific, Grand Guignol set pieces courtesy of practical FX wizard Sergio Stivaletti, together with a pulse-pounding score by Argento regulars Goblin - who reunited especially for this
movie - Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to bring SLEEPLESS to UHD for the very first time, restored in 4K from the original camera negative and accompanied by a host of both new and archival bonus features. Bonus

Promotional Material Terrence Malick's magnum opus, a visionary hymn to nature and grace, in an edition featuring a new extended cut. Four decades into an already legendary career, Terrence Malick
realized his most rapturous vision to date, tracing a story of childhood, wonder, and grief to the outer limits of time and space. Reaching back to the dawn of creation, Malick sets a story of boyhood memories on a universal scale, charting the coming of
age of an awestruck child (newcomer Hunter McCracken) in Texas in the 1950s, as he learns to navigate the extremes of nature and grace represented by his bitter, often tyrannical father (Brad Pitt) and his ethereal, nurturing mother (Jessica Chastain, in
her breakout role). Achieved with the aid of cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and production designer Jack Fisk, the Palme d'Or-winning The Tree of Life marks the intimately personal, cosmically ambitious culmination of Malick's singular approach to
filmmaking. DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:

Promotional Material Mixing themes of misguided teenage spirit, religious responsibility and mortal sin, Absolution is a complex murder mystery which gave Richard Burton one of his strongest cinema roles
of the 1970s. Set in an exclusive boarding school, we focus on Benji (Dominic Guard) who decides to play a prank and confesses to overly-strict Father Goddard (Burton) that hes murdered a man named Blakey (Billy Connolly in his screen debut). Goddard
uncovers the lie but when Benji confesses to the murder again, the priest finds his life turning into an ever-darkening nightmare. Written by Anthony Shaffer (The Wicker Man) and directed by Anthony Page (The Lady Vanishes) this is a suspenseful and
twisted tale which utilises its remote setting to truly turn up the tension. EXTRAS
