Severin
To Release Di Silvestro's Shocking Masterpiece On DVD!
Severin
Films is sad to report that on the eve of the release of what he considered
his masterpiece, writer/director Rino Di Silvestro succumbed to cancer
on October 3rd. Rino was overjoyed when we told him that Severin would
finally be giving HANNA D. THE GIRL FROM VONDEL
PARK its overdue DVD bow on October 27th. The film is a testament
to his unique and sometimes bizarre vision. Rino is perhaps best known
for directing WEREWOLF WOMAN and his other credits include DEPORTED

Red Lets Our Favorite PETS Loose!
On

PETS on DVD! Sultry teen vixen Bonnie (cult
beauty Candice Rialson) had no idea what was in store for her when she
ditched her brother and took to the road, looking for cheap thrills
wherever she could find them. Violent petty criminal Pat drags her into
a kinky hold-up and lesbian artist Geraldine takes Bonnie under her
wing as her personal muse, but the young runaway continues to crave
adventure, leading her down a twisted path to a psychosexual encounter
with Vincent, a collector of beautiful objects who wants to add her
to his permanent collection... Co-starring Joan Blackman (MACON COUNTY

Sony
Keeps Hammering 'Em Out!
Sony
continues to be the best of the major studios currently releasing catalog
titles on DVD. According to their new Columbia
Classics Blog, we can expect another fantastic Hammer Films set
in 2010: “Next year, look for another Icons release when
we gear up for the Icons of Suspense, the third in our effort
to bring forward the great Hammer films in the Columbia library. The
titles in this next set will include such masterpieces as STOP
ME BEFORE I KILL, CASH ON DEMAND,
NEVER TAKE CANDY FROM A STRANGER, MANIAC,
THE SNORKEL, and the great Joseph Losey-directed
THESE ARE THE DAMNED. As with the previous
Hammer releases, we are dedicated to providing the longest, most original
restored versions of these films possible.” And we still can’t
get Fox/MGM to release QUATERMASS XPERMINENT,
TWINS OF EVIL, HANDS
OF THE RIPPER and VAMPIRE CIRCUS.
Go figure!
Troma
to Release HANGING WOMAN Special Edition!
In
September, the renowned ‘Lon Chaney of Spain’ Paul Naschy
turns 75, and to commemorate the living legend’s birthday, Troma
Team Video is releasing a special restored DVD of Jose Luis Merino’s
THE HANGING WOMAN (aka RETURN OF THE ZOMBIES,
BEYOND THE LIVING DEAD), featuring uncut violence and nudity deemed
too graphic for American audiences. THE HANGING WOMAN was heavily edited
upon its initial release but was embraced in butchered cuts. Troma’s
new DVD is the most complete version of THE HANGING WOMAN ever released
in the US! Naschy stars as a depraved grave robber whose necrophiliac
desires make him a suspect of murder. The stunning Dyanik Zurakowska,
known for her work with Sergio Corbucci (DJANGO), co-stars in this classic
Gothic horror film and the rarely-seen feature SWEET SOUND OF DEATH
(1965) also inclusive in this package. (READ

Severin
To Release '80s T&A Classic!
Severin
Films has announced the 8/25 release of the infamous ‘T&A’
classic SCREWBALLS on DVD and Blu-ray for
the first time ever in America. This long unreleased, totally unhinged
and generally unclothed ‘Canucksploitation’ masterwork has
languished in a snowbound Alberta vault for decades. Following the Severin
Legal Team's rescue of the film’s original 16mm inter-negative
from a black widow's web of legal entanglements, Severin’s Archive
Commandos immediately rushed the film to its state-of-the-art facility
for high definition transfer and restoration. (READ

criminals, leaving a great demand from medical schools. When a resident

potential in grave-robbing. Demand for dead bodies grows so high, they
start speeding up the death process on their victims! However, suspicions
arise when they murder a man seen earlier that day. The film stars Derren

Criterion
To Release Polanski's Horror Classic!
On
July 28, The Criterion Collection will release Roman Polanski’s
1965 thriller REPULSION on DVD and Blu-ray.
Roman Polanski followed up his international breakthrough KNIFE IN THE
WATER with this controversial, chilling tale of psychosis, starring
Catherine Deneuve as Carol, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking
up over the course of a terrifying weekend. Left alone by her vacationing
sister in their London flat, Carol is haunted by specters real and imagined,
and her insanity grows to a violent pitch. Thanks to its unforgettable
attention to disturbing detail and Polanski’s unparalleled adeptness
at turning claustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, REPULSION
remains one of cinema’s most shocking psychological thrillers.
Disc Features: a new, restored 1.85:1 high-definition digital transfer
(with an uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition); an
audio commentary featuring director Roman Polanski and actress Catherine
Deneuve; A British Horror Film (2003), a documentary on the
making of Repulsion, featuring interviews with Polanski, producer Gene
Gutowski, and cinematographer Gil Taylor; A 1964 television documentary
filmed on the set of REPULSION featuring rare footage of Polanski and
Deneuve at work; a Theatrical trailer and a booklet featuring an essay
by film scholar and curator Bill Horrigan. SRP is $39.95.
COMBAT
SHOCK: 2-Disc Director’s Cut
Troma
Team Video is proud to present the 2-Disc Never-Before-Seen Director’s
Cut of Buddy Giovinazzo’s dark, nihilistic masterwork COMBAT
SHOCK. COMBAT SHOCK has remained hidden in the underground video
universe for more than 25 years, and has now fully ripened to disgust,
revolt and depress a new generation of indie film viewers. Released
theatrically in 1986, the film was dismissed mostly by mainstream critics,
but scarred the retinas of the indie cult/horror counterculture and
is now regarded as one of the supreme classics of 1980s underground
cinema. Inspired by true ghastly headlines about tormented war veterans,
Giovinazzo centers his story on Frankie Dunlan, a Vietnam veteran whose
life is a festering sewer of poverty, hopelessness and violence. (READ

Undergound to Re-Release TORSO,10TH VICTIM!
On
July 28, Blue Underground will release the 1973 giallo classic TORSO

young girlfriends head for the safety of an isolated country villa.

uncut and uncensored on DVD. Presented anamorphic 1.85:1 with both English
and Italian language tracks, extras include the international “Carnal
Violence” trailer as well as the original U.S. theatrical trailer.

THE
LEGEND OF BLOOD CASTLE Comes To DVD!
On
May 19, Mya Communication will release THE LEGEND
OF BLOOD CASTLE on DVD. Considered one of the best adaptations
of Elizabeth Báthory’s legend, this is a disturbing and
chilling movie from Spanish horror cult director Jorge Grau (LET SLEEPING
CORPSES LIE). Also known as THE FEMALE BUTCHER, the 1973 film concerns
Countess Erzsebet Bathory (Lucia Bosé), who is accidentally splattered
with the blood drops of one of her nubile maidservants, discovering
that the blood can preserve her skin. Compelled to kill innocent young
girls to use their blood, the Countess is helped by her husband Karl
(Espartaco Santoni), who fakes his own death and pretends to be a vampire
to fool the superstitious villagers about the source of the exsanguinations.
In the meantime, Karl finds himself attracted to Marina (Ewa Aulin,
CANDY), the young daughter of a local innkeeper, perhaps another victim
for the Countess. The disc will include a 1.77:1 anamorphic transfer;
English, Spanish and Italian mono audio tracks; deleted scenes; alternate
scenes; the original Italian opening credits and a still gallery. The
SRP is $24.99.
Severin
Unearths NIGHTMARE CASTLE Negative!
Gothic
horror fans will be delighted to know that Severin
Films will be giving the first official DVD release to the 1965
Barbara Steele chiller NIGHTMARE CASTLE/THE FACELESS
MONSTER (original title: Amanti d’oltretomba, or “Lovers
Beyond The Tomb”). The original negative has recently been discovered
in a Rome storage vault and apparently in good condition. Severin will
be doing a new HD transfer in its original aspect ratio, so all those
super cheap bootleg DVDs taken from 10th generation TV prints can now
be discarded forever. The film was directed by Mario Caiano, and Severin
recently shot a great interview with the 75 year old master at his home
just outside of Rome. NIGHTMARE CASTLE also showcases the very first
horror score by the legendary Ennio Morricone, and the beautiful black
& white cinematography comes courtesy of Enzo Barboni. A new featurette
with Steele will also be included. This uncut, uncensored and unsung
hit of Italian horror history will have a street date of May 19 and
retail for $19.95.

city of dreams. The record of the journey is Glen and Randa, a desperate
odyssey by the last survivors of an atomic holocaust, stumbling through
the wreckage of a vanished civilization. The upcoming DVD will include
a 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer and include a video interview
with director McBride.
Severin
Unleashes THE SINFUL DWARF!
Severin
Films announced the March 31 release of THE SINFUL
DWARF, the infamous 1973 Danish-made/London-lensed shocker that
has been called “perhaps the sleaziest film in EuroCult history.”
Events surrounding this first ever North American DVD release are scheduled
to include a rare theatrical screening at Austin’s Alamo Draft
House on March 4th, as well as national protests from various outraged
Little People’s organizations. Severin’s restoration of
the still-controversial movie was made possible by the recent discovery
of a pristine 35mm print found hidden in a janitor’s closet at
The Danish Film Institute.
