Whom The Gods Wish To Destroy (1967) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #WhomTheGodsWishToDestroy – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy was originally released in the U.S. as a single feature film. However, like Fritz Lang’s Journey to the Lost City, it was culled from two separate films: Die Nibelungen, Teil 1 Siegfried and Die Nibelungen, Teil 2 Kriemhild’s Revenge, both of which were produced in Germany. In this special 2-disc edition we have included both films, both transferred from beautiful anamorphic 35mm elements. These are colossal movies, made especially great by Uwe Beyer as Siegfried and Karin Dor as Brunhilde. It is an epic story. With a magic sword in hand, Siegfried of Xanten, defeats the dragon that guards the treasure of Nibelungen. By bathing in the dragon’s blood he becomes invulnerable. He then sets off to Iceland to free the Icelandic Queen Brunhilde (Karin Dor) from her eternal slumber. The queen falls in love with him but he returns to Burgundy and falls for King Gunther’s beautiful sister, Kriemhild. Expressing a desire for a wife, Gunther is taken by Siegfried to Iceland where they use magic tricks to coerce Brunhilde into a promise of marriage. What follows is a torrent of intrigue and high adventure. There are many great scenes. These are easily two of the best fantasy epics of the 1960s. Subtitled in English. Great color, from 35mm.

STARRING: Karin Dor, Herbert Lom, Terence Hill

Wolfman (1979) Available July 11

July 9, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #Wolfman – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Nothing like a fun, schlocky American-made werewolf movie set in the Deep South and that’s what this is. The werewolf makeup isn’t exactly Jack Pierce, but it’s still pretty cool. The film begins in a rustic old mansion with the stabbing death of an old man as he lays in his death bed something about a family curse! The young heir to the estate returns home, but soon finds he has also inherited a family curse that will turn him into a werewolf on the next full moon! Before you know it, villagers with torches are searching for the Wolfman! Owensby isn’t exactly Lon Chaney, and he’s a bit on the pudgy side (kind of like Paul Naschy without the muscle mass), but somehow it all works a true drive-in B-movie, filled with outrageous schlockiness. The fact that you have a bunch of characters dressed in 1800s-style clothing but talking like modern day southern rednecks just ads to the lovable dorkiness of it all. Then there’s Ed Grady, who hams it up like Lugosi or Karloff with his wonderfully over-the-top performance as an evil clergyman. Adding to the ambience is a lurid music score that combines, piano, harpsicord, orchestral, and electronic music. Hokey, but still great fun. Beautiful color, 35mm.

STARRING: Earl Owensby, Kristina Reynolds

#horror – #horrormovies – #BlackMagicRites – #Powerhouse –

From the mind of one of Italian genre cinema’s most outrageous and uncompromising filmmakers comes Black Magic Rites (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento… aka The Reincarnation of Isabel), Renato Polselli’s (The Vampire and the Ballerina) delirious masterpiece of salacious horror.

When beautiful Laureen throws a wild party at the castle which she has just inherited, she is blissfully unaware that its dark cellar harbours an occult sect that is hellbent on avenging the death of Isabel, who was burned at the stake 600 years earlier as a witch. The occultists’ satanic rituals call for the blood of virgins… Could Laureen be next?

Starring Mickey Hargitay (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?) and Rita Calderoni (A Quiet Place in the Country), this bizarre, psychedelic fusion of titillation and Italian Gothic horror is presented in an all-new 4K restoration from the original negative.

These are the kind of films we love low, low budget affairs filled with schlocky acting, inane dialogue, pitiful special effects, yet are unexplainably enjoyable. A couple of overzealous archaeologists dig up the preserved corpse of a prehistoric man, which as the film’s title implies returns to life (via an electrical storm) and unleashes havoc on the locals. Lots of cheesy scientific mumbo jumbo follows in this lovable drive-in schlocker. From 16mm.

#horror – #horrormovies – #SubspeciesVBloodrise – #FullMoonPictures – @fullmoonhorror –

The vampire Radu (Anders Hove) is back in director Ted Nicolaou’s epic prequel Subspecies V: Bloodrise, a dark thriller that follows Radu’s descent from a noble warrior of the Church to a depraved, blood-hungry creature of the night! Stolen by crusaders on the night of his birth from his demon mother and vampire father, Radu grows up with no knowledge of his monstrous bloodline. Trained and exploited by a brotherhood of mystic monks to slay all enemies of the church, fate brings him back one night to his father’s castle, armed with the monster-slaying Sword of Laertes, to destroy the vampire Vladislas and reclaim a holy relic, the Bloodstone. The horrifying events that unfold turn Radu from a honorable man into a vampire with no master, setting him on a centuries-long quest for sustenance, for companionship, for the treacherous one who stole him from the sun, and for the Bloodstone he hopes will bring him peace. Filmed in Serbia in and around authentic castles and ruins and featuring original series star Denice Duff in a surprising role, this sensual, violent and operatic exploration of evil marks a stunning return for one of the screen’s most beloved bloodsuckers.

STARRING: Anders Hove, Denice Duff, Kevin Spirtas

This is a seven-part mini-series about a trip to the moon and all the dangers involved. It’s good old fashioned space opera, even if the special effects are a bit crude. It starts with four scientists taking off for the moon. A second rocket, an auto-piloted supply ship, is to follow. However, when the auto pilot goes awry on the supply ship, it must be manually flown or the explorers will die in space. This sends another scientist and three juvenile space veterans blasting off into the void.

Karloff does in this role, what Lugosi did in his role as Dr. Vollin in THE RAVEN. He let’s it all hang out as he plays the mad Dr. Laurience, who invents a fantastic device that transfers personalities from one body to another. Don’t confuse this title with some of Karloff’s later Columbia mad doctor pictures. This one was produced by British Gaumont and easily stands on it’s own merits. Great lab scenes and a terrific climax. One of the classic horror films of the 1930’s. Never seen it? You’re missing one helluva movie.

STARRING: Boris Karloff, John Loder, Donald Calthrop, Lyn Harding

#horror – #horrormovies – #ADreamComeTrue – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

After receiving radio waves from our solar system, the inhabitants of planet Centuria send out a starship toward Earth. Dues to technical problems, though, their starship is forced to land on Mars. Earth sends a rescue party to rescue the alien visitors. However, upon arrival, and in a scene similar to Alien, they discover a solitary, dead Centurian astronaut at the starship controls. What happened to the other Centurian spacemen? The answer appears to lie on the distant Martian moon, Phobos. One of the great things about Soviet science fiction cinema of this era is it’s extravagance. Every set, every spaceship, even the space helmets and space suits are lavishly done in a style that looks like a live version of an old 1950s Ace double cover. They’re just gorgeous. And everything is BIG. The Russians spared little expense on their sci-fi films. This is a beautiful film to look at, pure space opera from start to finish. Subtitled in Engligh. Great color, from 35mm.

STARRING: Larisa Gordeichik, Boris Borisyonok, Otar Koberidze

#horror – #horrormovies – #Deluge – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Almost 90 years later this sci-fi classic still packs a punch. Strange events in Earth’s atmosphere cause monstrous storms and tidal waves that overrun the Earth. The destruction of New York City is one of the most memorable scenes in science fiction history. Blackmer and Shannon are survivors who try to crawl their way back from oblivion. An excellent film! NOTE: In previous video releases of Deluge, the picture image was squeezed slightly toward the middle, resulting in tall, skinny characters (very noticeable on Samuel S. Hinds!); however, we have corrected this and also restored the original music to the opening titles.
