19 FEATURE FILMS ON 10 DISCS

Including the award-winning documentary EXORCISMO: THE TRANSGRESSIVE LEGACY OF CLASIFICADA “S”

Plus 168-Page Book and 21+ Combined Hours of Special Features

Under the Franco dictatorship, Spain’s rigid censorship laws controlled all national entertainment. But following Franco’s death in 1975, certain films began to embody a period in Spanish history when cinematic expression became political freedom. Spanish audiences considered these films – featuring graphic explorations of sex, violence and horror – to be a cultural ‘exorcismo.’ These 18 films, including landmark features directed by Eloy de la Iglesia, León Klimovsky, Javier Aguirre and Eugenio Martín, range from those that dared to actively subvert the oppressive regime to productions made during the post-Franco era of ’70s/’80s exploitation excess. Also included is the award-winning Severin Films original documentary EXORCISMO: THE TRANSGRESSIVE LEGACY OF CLASIFICADA “S” narrated by Iggy Pop, in which writer/producer/director Alberto Sedano explores the history behind the notorious rating that rocked Spanish culture, changed the face of genre films and left its mark on global cinema forever. The majority of the titles in this unprecedented collection are Worldwide Blu-ray Premieres scanned in 4K from original camera negatives, curated with a 168-page book of essays, stills and posters, plus over 21 combined hours of new and archival Special Features.

Includes the films Exorcismo: The Transgressive Legacy of Clasificada “S”, Far from the Trees, The Bell from Hell, Creation of the Damned, The Devil’s Exorcist, After… Part One: Can’t You Be Left Alone?, The People Who Own the Dark, Battered Flesh, The Priest, Sins of a Nympho, Dimorfo, Bloody Sex, Morbus, Faces, Triangle of Lust, That House in the Outskirts, Supernatural, Poppers, After… Part Two: Tied Up and Tied Up Well

STARRING: Adolfo Suárez, Adolfo Thous, Agustín González, África Pratt

Doriana Gray Available January 27

#horror – #horrormovies – #DorianaGray – #DeliriumHomeVideo –

Jess Franco’s surreal, sexually explicit riff on the famous Oscar Wilde story features his main muse, the gorgeous Lina Romay (ROLLS ROYCE BABY), in one of her most powerful and raw performances. Romay stars as vampiric aristocrat Doriana Gray, a fluid-drinking succubus who shares a strange bond with her sexually voracious twin sister. It seems that when one woman feels aroused, the other sibling experiences every sensation, a phenomenon that is illustrated in shocking, salacious detail when a sexy young reporter comes to call…

Full of hypnotic imagery, dreamy music and dynamic supporting turns from frequent Franco collaborator Monica Swinn, DORIANA GRAY (aka MARQUISE DE SADE) is a highlight of the director’s ’70s output and one of the finest of his pictures made for Swiss exploitation mogul Erwin C. Dietrich.

STARRING: Lina Romay, Monica Swinn

Torso (1973) Available January 20

#horror – #horrormovies – #Torso – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

A talented and versatile journeyman, director Sergio Martino (The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) lent his talents to multiple genres across his long and varied career, but is undoubtedly best known for his giallo thrillers from the early 70s. Among the most highly acclaimed of these, 1973’s Torso revels in the genre’s time-honored traditions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the modern slasher movie.

A sex maniac is prowling the streets of Perugia, targeting the picturesque university town’s female students. Alarmed at the plummeting life expectancy of the student body, Jane (Suzy Kendall, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) and her three friends elope to a secluded country villa – only to discover that, far from having left the terror behind, they’ve brought it with them!

Also known as Carnal Violence, Torso was released in Italy towards the end of the giallo boom before enjoying a second life on the American grindhouse circuit. Co-starring Tina Aumont (Salon Kitty) and Luc Merenda (The Violent Professionals), the film finds its director at the top of his game, delivering copious levels of violence, sleaze, and one of the tensest cat-and-mouse games ever committed to celluloid!

STARRING: Angela Covello, Carla Brait, Carlo Alighiero, Conchita Airoldi

The Flesh and Blood Show (1972) Available January 20

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheFleshandBloodShow – #KinoCult – @kino_cult –

With The Flesh and Blood Show, Pete Walker (House of Whipcord) transitioned from crime thrillers and nudie pictures to full-blown horror, where he would evolve into one of the genre’s most playful and perverse directors. Billed as “An Appalling Amalgam of Carnage and Carnality,” The Flesh and Blood Show is an homage to the blood-splattered, sex-smeared theatre known as the Grand Guignol. Shuttered and cursed by an especially tragic production of Othello, a seaside theatre reopens its doors as a groovy musical revue, only to have several performers fall victim to the deadly curse. For this Kino Cult release, the 3-D sequences have been newly aligned by the 3-D Film Archive LLC, and are presented in both stereoscopic and anaglyph formats.

STARRING: Jenny Hanley, Luan Peters, Patrick Barr, Ray Brooks, Robin Askwith

A group of strangers, mysteriously gathered at an isolated country estate, recount chilling tales of the supernatural. First, a racer survives a brush with death only to receive terrifying premonitions from beyond the grave. Then a teen’s innocent game of hide-and-seek leads to an encounter with the macabre. Next, a young couple purchases an antique mirror that unleashes a horrific power from its past. In a lighter vein, two competitive golfers play for stakes that may haunt the winner forever. Finally, a renowned ventriloquist descends into an abyss of madness and murder when his dummy develops a mind of its own. But even after these frightening tales are told, does one final nightmare await them all? Britain’s venerable Ealing Studios brought together four brilliant directors, Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob), Basil Dearden (The Mind Benders), Alberto Cavalcanti (They Made Me a Fugitve) and Robert Hamer (It Always Rains on Sunday) to create this classic chiller that remains one of the most influential horror films ever made. This is the uncut and complete UK version of Dead of Night, now newly restored in 4K from original archival materials for the first time in decades.

#horror – #horrormovies – #ThePowerofDarkness – #MondoMacabro – @MondoMacabroUSA –

Mondo Macabro presents THE POWER OF DARKNESS – A Descent into madness… or a discovery of the truth?

Fernando Vidal, a formerly wealthy man now living in a tiny single room in Buenos Aires, is accosted one evening by someone who claims to be a childhood friend. Vidal denies ever having met him. But later the stranger turns up at his threadbare apartment and begins to ask questions about their childhood together, reminding Fernando about how he would catch birds and poke out their eyes just to see if they could fly without sight. These long suppressed memories start to haunt Fernando and he becomes increasingly detached from reality.

From that point on, strange events accumulate in his life. A seemingly drunk neighbour tells him about sighting a huge bird – a warning of disasters to come. Fernando begins to notice blind men everywhere in the city, some even following him through the night-time streets and onto subway trains. Finally his childhood friend tells him that he has discovered a secret society of the blind which is plotting to take over the world. And suddenly Fernando begins to see evidence of this everywhere. Following a series of clues, he climbs the stairs of an old apartment building in a deserted section of the city and finds himself lost in a vast and dark labyrinth where bizarre and terrifying visions flash in and out of view. Somewhere in the void, he is convinced, lays the answer to all his problems. He steps forward, as the darkening shadows swallow him up.

Part crazed conspiracy theory, part horror story and part philosophical inquiry, THE POWER OF DARKNESS is a film like no other. Although based on the highly regarded novel, On Heroes and Tombs, the film has been more or less forgotten. This is its first English-friendly release and is a must see for adventurous film watchers.

Mike Strauber’s life spirals into madness after discovering his wife’s infidelity. Consumed by rage and psychological trauma, he engages in a deadly game of “Truth or Dare,” which escalates into a gruesome killing spree. As he descends into insanity, the line between reality and delusion blurs, leading him to commit horrific acts of violence. As his madness deepens, those around him become victims of his rage, culminating in a final confrontation with his unfaithful wife. Will anyone survive his wrath?

Originally released in 1986, Truth or Dare: A Critical Madness has become a cult horror classic. This low-budget film, shot on 16mm, still resonates with fans of 1980s horror. It gained renewed attention when Elijah Wood called it his all-time favorite horror movie–he frequently screens during PR appearances at packed theaters worldwide. Truth or Dare remains one of the first “direct to video” movies and a prime example of the “video nasty” era, where independent filmmakers pushed boundaries with shocking content. So far, it has spawned four sequels, Wicked Games, Screaming for Sanity, Deadly Dares and I Dared You. For the first time ever, all five movies are available in one ultimate set, loaded with extra features.

Fans demanded it, and now you can own it all in Truth or Dare Legacy. LIMITED EDITION!
