Your Life is on the Line! : A Joe Christ Anthology Available February 24

#horror – #horrormovies – #YourLifeisontheLine – #SaturnsCore –

Outrageous… revolting… abrasive… tasteless… these are just a few of the adjectives that define the polarizing work of punk musician turned transgressive filmmaker Joe Christ. Combining the gross-out provocations of early John Waters with the confrontational shock aesthetics of Nick Zedd, Christ utilized video as his primary medium to rail against the cinematic boundaries of general decency and good taste. This first volume in the complete filmography of Joe Christ conjures up a disturbing worldview populated solely by victims and their potential assailants—an unsettling portrait of early ’90s American white trash culture teetering on the brink of psychosis.

Communion in Room 410 (1988) presents a cinema vérité variation on the Last Supper replete with nudity, self-mutilation, and blood drinking. Speed Freaks with Guns (1991) chronicles the murderous home movies of a raving, paranoid amphetamine addict. In Crippled (1992), a bed-ridden, disabled woman is repeatedly abused by her amoral caretakers. Acid Is Groovy Kill the Pigs (1993) follows Christ on a homicidal, acid-fueled road “trip” loosely inspired by the real-life Jeffrey MacDonald / Fatal Vision murders. Sex, Blood & Mutilation (1995) unfolds as a shocking, Mondo-style video freakshow featuring appearances by David Aaron Clark, Tattoo Mike Wilson, and industrial pioneer Genesis P-Orridge.

STARRING: Dana Wisdom, Joe Christ, Mary Leohr, Susan Ferris

Terror Firmer (4K Ultra HD) (1999) Available February 24

#horror – #horrormovies – #TerrorFirmer – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.

A fledgling film crew, led by the lovable, yet blind, director Larry Benjamin, is hard at work making – or at least trying to make – Benjamin’s latest and most ridiculous movie. But problems with a difficult cast, an inexperienced and distracted crew, special effects that don’t quite work, and more are soon upended when members of the production team begin to be murdered in increasingly strange and convoluted ways. As the rickety production grinds to a halt, and tensions and distrust flare, the mystery assailant continues to strike. Will Larry and his ragtag team of creative misfits be able to band together and unmask the monstrous force hellbent on killing off the movie’s cast and crew before everyone left is reduced to piles of bloody pulp?

Acclaimed filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman’s (The Toxic Avenger) twisted take on a meta-movie, Terror Firmer is a splatter-fueled shock-fest-cum-murder-mystery which pushes the concept of bad taste to its wildest and most creative extremes, as only Troma can do. Featuring an ensemble cast of Troma alums including Will Keenan (Tromeo and Juliet), Trent Haaga (Tales of Halloween), legendary “Scream Queen” Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juliet), Joe Fleishaker (Troma’s War), along with guest appearances from esteemed filmmakers Eli Roth (Hostel), Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2), Matt Stone & Trey Parker (South Park) and Lemmy Killmister (of the band Motörhead) as himself, this wildly over-the-top ode to independent filmmaking at last comes to UHD from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative and heaped with extensive new and archival extras.

The Snow Creature (1954) Available February 24

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheSnowCreature – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

On an expedition deep into the Himalayas, Dr. Frank Parrish would rather keep things focused on his real mission—obtaining biological samples. But as he, his photographer, and their Sherpa troop press on into the harsh, frigid wilderness, he is forced to accept one truth he’d rather not. His lead guide not only insists that a Yeti really exists, but it’s absconded with his wife, and now the Sherpa have overtaken Parrish’s mission in order to rescue her. Not only is the Yeti real, they manage to extract it from Asia and fly it to Los Angeles, all in the predictable name of science. That is, until it breaks free and threatens to cause havoc across the city!

The Snow Creature came at a critical point in the Atomic Age 1950s, as it represents a reworking of the older King Kong story into an entirely new piece of lore, exploiting the increasing interest in the Abominable Snowman. Directed by W. Lee Wilder, written by his son Myles Wilder, and starring Paul Langton, Teru Shimada, and William Phipps, this historic B-thriller played both drive-ins and regional television well into the 1960s. The half man/half monsters at Vinegar Syndrome Labs bring you this wooly trendsetter scanned and restored from its 35mm fine grain master.

STARRING: Leslie Denison, Paul Langton, Rollin Moriyama, Teru Shimada

The Phantom of the Opera (4K Ultra HD) (1998) Available February 24

#horror – #horrormovies – #ThePhantomoftheOpera – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

In late nineteenth-century Paris, strange things are happening at the Opera House. Legends abound of a mysterious phantom who, raised from infancy by rats, inhabits the subterranean caverns deep beneath the famous building, occasionally emerging above ground to wreak bloody havoc. Enchanted by the voice of the beautiful Christine Daaé, an understudy in the upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet, the phantom quickly brings the singer under his spell, setting himself on a collision course with her would-be suitor, Raoul. As the gala performance of Romeo and Juliet draws near, and Christine falls ever deeper under his influence, the phantom hatches a diabolical plan to secure his young protégée the starring role — and claim her as his, once and for all.

Based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel, The Phantom of the Opera sees Italian horror maestro Dario Argento turn his directorial hand to a period piece while still injecting the expected visual flair and gruesome gore. Featuring lead performances from Asia Argento and Julian Sands, alongside cinematography from Ronnie Taylor and a lush orchestral score from Ennio Morricone, this edition is newly restored in 4K and includes a wide array of new and archival bonus features.

#horror – #horrormovies – #IHateMyBody – #MondoMacabro – @MondoMacabroUSA –

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.

The Horrific Story inspired by true Events…

Ti West’s Trigger Man leads the charge in a new wave of stripped-down, scary movies fueled by seat-of-the-pants filmmaking ingenuity. Reggie, Sean, and Ray leave Manhattan for a day trip of deer hunting in Delaware, expecting to drink a few beers in the woods free of the city-life responsibilities that are slowly forcing the childhood friends apart. But with one well-aimed shot, a walk in the sun is transformed into a frantic and desperate fight for survival, as Trigger Man morphs from a character-driven rural amble into a “smartly compact and radical survival thriller (Variety). Writer, director, and editor Ti West (The Roost, Cabin Fever II) expertly exploits audience expectations, using minimalist handheld photography to relentlessly build tension to “a genuinely terrifying payoff” (New York Sun).
