Olive Films to Release THE BOOGENS!

On August 8th, Olive Films will release “one of the most requested horror films”, THE BOOGENS (1981) on both Blu-Ray and DVD. In a small town near Denver, two young men begin to explore a long-abandoned old mine recently re-opened by a group of minors. When one the men is discovered missing, his friends begin a search that leads them to horrifying consequences. They’re all unaware of the evil that’s been unleashed and soon, one by one, a monster that no one has seen snatches up the townspeople. Suddenly, the grisly truth is revealed and a young couple is forced to confront the unknown in order to save their lives… and the entire town. Directed by James L. Conway (HANGER 18). The film will be newly mastered in HD from an archival 35mm print, and the release will include an audio commentary with director Conway, star Rebecca Balding and screenwriter David O’Malley. The Blu-Ray will retail for $29.95 and the DVD for $24.94.

Mondo Releases Franco's COUNTESS PERVERSE!

Mondo Macabro is proud to present the official director’s cut of Jess Franco's outrageous and delirious COUNTESS PERVERSE. Newly restored from a rare camera negative, this limited-edition DVD arrives on June 12th with a S.R.P. of $24.99. In the 1973 film starring Howard Vernon and Alice Arno, a pair of decadent and debauched aristocrats turns their private island into a human hunting ground where they can stalk their naked prey. As each victim is murdered, their carcass is then cooked and fed to their guests; simply delicious! What the unsuspecting visitors don't realize is that they will soon become the next evening’s “meal”, eventually fighting for their lives in a shocking and flesh-baring cat-and-mouse game. The disc will carry a brand new transfer from the original negative, and extras include an interview with actor Robert Woods, extensive production notes and introduction by film critic Stephen Thrower and Mondo Macabro DVD previews.

On May 17, RaroVideo U.S. will release THE SECRET OF DORIAN GRAY (1970) on DVD. Never before released on DVD in the U.S., this is a 1970s classic Italian film restored to its original splendor. In London, a wealthy, god-like, young man, Dorian Gray, loves Sybil, an aspiring actress; thanks to her, he’s momentarily less self-centered. He’s also sitting, scantily clad, for a portrait painted by his ascot-wearing friend, Basil. When it’s done, Dorian complains he’ll grow old while it stays unchanged – the classic plight of the vain. On the same night, as if he has sold his soul to the devil, exchanging vanity for morality, he ends it with Sybil, and then accepts the seductive offer of a party’s hostess to sleep with her. The next day, the painting looks slightly older. In horror and fascination, Dorian hides it away and continues a life of degradation. Over time, as the portrait becomes hideous, he’s unchanged by his ever-increasing libidinal life; finally, he and Basil face the painting. The exceptionally groovy score by Giuseppe De Luca enhances the seventies milieu. The film stars Helmut Berger, Richard Todd, Herbert Lom, Marie Liljedahl and Margaret Lee. DORIAN GRAY has been restored from the original 35mm negative and will include an interview with the assistant director Maurizio Tanfani.

Sony Releases Another Hammer Cult Classic!

Sony has just made CREATURES THE WORLD FORGOT available as part of its “Screen Classics By Request” Collection. This singular film from Hammer Studios, set in the Stone Age, has almost no dialogue — the people speak in grunts — but it is strangely effective. Focused on a tribe of cavemen, and specifically a pair of twin brothers who become rivals for the leadership of the tribe following the impact of a devastating earthquake, the human struggles are portrayed fairly realistically (no dinosaurs roaming the earth). Directed by Don Chaffey (JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.), whose ability to craft an engaging, human story with mythical characters and beasts was well-proven by the time he undertook this feature. Written by veteran Hammer producer and writer Michael Carreras (THE SNORKEL, MANIAC, ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.), and starring beautiful Julie Ege (THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES), Brian O'Shaughnessey (THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY), and Tony Bonner (QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER); another lesser-known film that deserves its cult status. Newly remastered in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. For more information, click HERE.

Produced by Roger Corman, this feverishly paced and stylistic crime drama in the spirit of THE GODFATHER and a precursor to GOODFELLAS holds no punches when it comes to portraying the violence and brutality that came with the territory and the times. Capone tells the story of the man’s life from his ’hood roots in New York to the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and “king of racketeering” reign in Chicago, to the end of his days in Florida.

Severin To Release Duo of Slashers and THE BABY!

Severin Films recently announced that its future release slate includes the slasher classic BLOODY BIRTHDAY (perhaps best remembered for the before-she-was-famous topless dance of MTV star Julie Brown) directed by Canadian exploitation auteur Ed Hunt. In a recent interview recorded exclusively for this DVD, Hunt discusses his entire career and the film was transferred from the original negative in hi-definition, so this will be BLOODY BIRTHDAY as you’ve never seen it before! Severin is also planning a DVD of John Lamond’s Australian horror flick NIGHTMARES (aka STAGE FRIGHT) and the disc will include an audio commentary with Lamond, with the film being presented fully uncut and transferred in 2.35:1 from the original negative. Then there’s THE BABY, truly one of the most bizarre films to come out of Hollywood in the 1970s. Helmed by A-list director Ted Post (MAGNUM FORCE, BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES), the original ads screamed, “What goes on in this nursery isn’t for kids!” Again, expect a new transfer from the original negative so you can fully enjoy the perverse delights of THE BABY.

New DVD Company To Release Lost Franco "Orloff"!

The newly created Intervision Picture Corporation, featuring several longtime veterans of the home video scene, announced it was rolling out its aggressive schedule of Cult and Exploitation releases starting this January! The company has just inked a deal with distribution/manufacturing mainstay CAV to handle solicitation and physical distribution. First releases are both helmed by recent Goya Award Winner Jess Franco. THE SINISTER EYES OF DR. ORLOFF, a long-thought-lost classic from 1971, was finally unearthed in a Budapest vault following an exhaustive international search. Orloff will be paired with PAULA-PAULA, the most acclaimed Jess Franco film in over two decades (both titles will see release on January 11, 2011). The deal was negotiated by Larry Gold Sr., Founder and CEO on behalf of Intervision Picture Corporation, and Jay Douglas, Vice President of Product Development on behalf of CAV. CAV’s Douglas said, “Larry Gold is one of the few true legends of the video industry and we are thrilled to bring his latest and greatest brand to the CAV stable.” Gold, an early leader in the world of VHS distribution, has an impressive resume stretching back to the early 1960s, when he founded the London-based Solid Gold Films Ltd. Long thought retired to his estate in Southeast Asia, Gold cited "the need to get quality pictures back on the shelves" as his chief reason for getting back into distribution. "I've still got the rights to over 850 films across all formats - and I intend to exercise them in a manner that will result in classy, special-features-laden releases crafted for the discriminating picturegoer. Film distribution has gotten a bit off its bearings as of late, and we at Intervision Picture Corporation intend to bring back a little of the way things used to be."

MGM's Limited Edition Collection Adds Cult Titles!

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announced that it has concluded an arrangement with Allied Vaughn that will allow MGM to expand retail distribution of MGM’s Limited Edition Collection of previously-unreleased DVD titles through an innovative distribution program. This program is called “manufacturing on demand” (“MOD”). MOD allows retailers to offer MGM’s Limited Edition Collection for sale on their websites without ever having to order product upfront because each DVD is “custom built” for a specific consumer order that is placed on a retailer’s website. This strategy now gives retailers the opportunity to offer MGM titles that they might not be offering to consumers. Initially, more than fifty films will be included in MGM’s Limited Edition Collection with an expansion plan to release over 400 new to DVD titles within the next 18 months. The first wave of titles include ROLLING THUNDER (1977), DIARY OF A MADMAN (1963), FUTUREWORLD (1976), THE SATAN BUG (1965), THE PRIVATE FILES OF J. EDGAR HOOVER (1977), VIGILANTE FORCE (1976) and CAPTAIN KIDD AND THE SLAVE GIRL (1954). Some of the titles will include the original trailer and they will have an SRP of $19.98.
