Plunge headlong into the bizarre happenings of Lamplight County and discover the secrets of SPECTER’S ROCK. Geneva awakens in terror at 4 a.m. to discover her ex-boyfriend Halbert standing in the corner of her bedroom. The following morning, she receives the shocking news that Halbert was murdered at the exact same time as his ominous materialization in her room. Soon after, everyone in town experiences the same simultaneous nightmare involving a strange man called The Lurker. Local philosopher and meditator Travis Martin becomes entangled in the investigation when his initials are found carved near the murder scene. In his obsessive search to find the truth and locate the sequestered Geneva, Travis encounters garish hitmen, a mysterious lotion saleswoman, an escaped face-skinning serial killer, a diminutive interrogator, and a supernatural entity named Minks who haunts the local Sizzler after inexplicably returning from the dead. Enter the world of dreams and the shadow of reality in Specter’s Rock; where murder, mystery, and mustard stains are perpetually par for the course.

Never before distributed on any physical media format and notorious amongst completists for having its trailer hidden as an easter egg on the Season 1 DVD set of Twin Peaks, SPECTER’S ROCK marked the feature debut of visionary writer, director, and Lynch scholar Josh Eisenstadt (Spreading Darkness, Dark Reel, Red Lightning). A 2 1/2 hour, Twin Peaks / Lynch-inspired SOV epic boasting over 40 locations and an extensive cast including Bonnie Aarons (The Nun, Mulholland Drive), Michael J. Anderson (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive), Robin Ritter (Mulholland Drive), Jamielyn Lippman (Boogie Nights), Anna Carin (The Fear), & Robin Garrels (Insaniac), SPECTER’S MARK makes its long awaited Blu-Ray debut from Saturn’s Core accompanied by hours of extras including commentaries, featurettes, short films, and the debut of Josh Eisenstadt’s brand new, long gap sequel Specter’s Rock 2025!

THE NORTH AMERICAN UHD PREMIERE

For his follow-up to CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, director Ruggero Deodato delivered a shocker packed with even more cruelty and controversy. 40+ years later, it remains one of the most disturbing exploitation films of all time, now in UHD for the first time ever in North America: David Hess of THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT infamy stars as a charismatic psychopath who – with his equally unhinged sidekick (Giovanni Lombardo Radice of CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD) – turns a get-together of chic New Yorkers into an ordeal of class warfare and sexual violence. Annie Belle (ABSURD), Christian Borromeo (TENEBRAE) and Lorraine De Selle (WILD BEASTS) co-star in this “sick, perverted and demented classic” (Savage Cinema) from the screenwriters of THE NEW YORK RIPPER, now scanned uncut in 4K from the original camera negative with 3+ hours of Special Features.

As he looks into the girl’s life, hoping to find a clue as to why someone sought to snuff her out, his investigation takes him to an exclusive, all-girl prep school which the teenage victim attended. After becoming aware of her involvement with a trio of pupils who call themselves “The Inseparables,” Di Salvo is convinced that the group is aware of some secret that led to their friend’s killing. But when more victims are found slaughtered, the detective is in a race against time to unmask the murderer before it’s too late.

REFLECTIONS IN BLACK: Countess Orselmo hides her lust for women from most of those closest to her, but that does not stop her from taking a bevy of beautiful female companions to her bed. But when some of her favorite conquests are discovered dead, slashed to ribbons with a razor, the Countess finds herself embroiled in a sinister mystery of which her illicit affairs are at the very center. Will she be next on the killer’s target list, or does the assailant have another and even more shocking motive for the violence?

A.A.A. MASSEUSE, GOOD-LOOKING, OFFERS HER SERVICES: Christina cannot stand her overbearing and oppressive home life. After deciding she needs to make it on her own, she rents an apartment but quickly discovers that to enjoy her freedom and independence, she’ll need to earn a steady income.

MYSTÈRE: Mystère is one of Rome’s top call-girls whose clients range from political elites to business executives. Her friend Pamela, another prostitute, steals an expensive lighter from a recent client, only to be mysteriously murdered shortly thereafter. When Mystère discovers that not only has Pamela been killed but also the client from whom she stole the lighter, she realizes that her own life might be in danger, a fear quickly validated when she narrowly survives an assassination attempt. Desperate to figure out why she and Pamela were targeted, she finds an ally in Inspector Colt, who has been tasked with solving the crimes. But as their investigation deepens, it becomes clear that the seemingly ordinary lighter holds a potentially deadly secret.

OBSESSION: A TASTE FOR FEAR: Set in a semi-futuristic, technology-infused world, Diane is a top photographer for erotic and fashion magazines whose sexually liberated lifestyle carries over to her work. However, when Diane’s newest model, the statuesque Teagan, is found murdered on her set, suspicion falls not only on Diane but her entire production crew and other models. While Inspector Arnold initially assumes the killer is a nerdy technician, a second murder, which is captured on video, reveals the assailant to be a beautiful woman…

SWEETS FROM A STRANGER: A bicycle-riding, razor-wielding killer is stalking and slashing Rome’s ladies of the night. Stella, who has risen above the level of streetwalker and now works as a high-class escort, is shocked when she learns that a dear friend has become the maniac’s latest victim. Disgusted by the failure of the police to either find the killer or even protect other women, she hatches her own plan to help fellow prostitutes organize and learn self-defense in the hopes that their own actions will lead to the culprit’s unmasking.

A surprisingly socially-conscious giallo that earnestly reflects on the state of prostitution in Italy, prolific writer Franco Ferrini’s (Nothing Underneath, Rings of Fear) sole directorial effort, SWEETS FROM A STRANGER, offers a distinctive hybrid of razor murders and thoughtful commentary heightened by nuanced and believable characters. Featuring a catchy score and title song by Umberto Smaila as well as a supporting performance from Italian genre legend Laura Betti (A Bay of Blood, Salò), this one-of-a-kind giallo makes its worldwide disc debut, newly restored in 2K from its original negative and including an abundance of new interviews filled with insight into this unusual production.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Mondo Macabro presents I HATE MY BODY – A man’s brain, trapped in a woman’s body!

Lecherous businessmen Ernest and Peter go out for an evening of fun with two girls from work. There’s a lot of drinking and dancing and more than a little suggestion of frolics to follow, particularly when Ernest has the idea they swap partners. With the willing Rita by his side, he sets off in his car, roaring with laughter as they speed into the dark night. Momentarily distracted as he glances at his attractive passenger, Ernest loses control of the car. They crash into the side of a bridge and the vehicle bursts into flames.

The bodies are rushed to the nearest hospital where both Ernest and his passenger are certified dead on arrival. However, the hospital’s surgeon, Dr. Adolf Berger, a former medic in a Nazi death camp, discovers that Ernest’s brain is still intact. Encouraged by his female assistant, Lydia, Berger decides to try out his long cherished experiment- transplanting a brain from one body to another. However, the only body available is that of a young woman, Leda Schmidt, also technically dead in the hospital morgue. Casting aside all scruples, Berger begins the operation!

This outrageous film, which now has much contemporary relevance, was directed by horror specialist Leon Klimovsky, the man behind Paul Naschy’s WEREWOLF and THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, and numerous other Spanish “fantaterror” classics. The disc includes many exclusive extras and the feature has been fully restored.
