Lorber and Redemption Films Celebrate Jess Franco Legacy!
Kino
Lorber and Redemption Films celebrate the cinematic legacy of director
Jess Franco with deluxe Blu-ray and DVD editions of three of his most
important films, presented in association with Eurociné: THE
AWFUL DR. ORLOF (1962), A VIRGIN AMONG
THE LIVING DEAD (1973) and NIGHTMARES COME
AT NIGHT (1970). Though highly regarded among cult movie enthusiasts,
Franco is a notorious figure within the world of horror, for the savage
eroticism and obsessive nature of his films, which defy the conventional
structure and tone of the typical thriller. "Too arty for the horror
crowd and too macabre and lowbrow for the art crowd," Fangoria
editor Chris Alexander wrote, "He existed in a world of his own,
a class of his own." (READ

DEATH and THE SKULL. This two-disc
collection is filled with suspense and terror as it features classic,
bone-chilling tales from two of the biggest horror powerhouse producers:
Hammer Studios and Amicus Productions. THE SKULL weaves a chilling tale
surrounding the real-life terrors of the Marquis de Sade. Featuring
outstanding performances by Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, this
tale introduces Dr. Christopher Maitland (Cushing) who purchases the
infamous skull of the Marquis de Sade, a decision that he was warned
against by his good friend - and previous skull owner - Matthew Phillips
(Lee). The question is whether or not Dr. Maitland will live to regret
his decision. THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH features a horror filled
tale starring Anton Diffring as Dr. Georges Bonnet, a man with a hideous
obsession to live forever all he needs are the glands of some very unwilling
donors. Also starring Christopher Lee and the beautiful horror legend
Hazel Court, this film is a suspense-filled ride for all who enjoy classic
horror cinema.
RaroVideo
To Release Euro DORIAN GRAY!
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.

CAPONE
On DVD For the First Time!
Shout!
Factory will release CAPONE, the legendary
cult biopic of the world’s most infamous gangster, Al Capone,
on DVD March 29. This will mark the first time that the long-sought-after
1975 film has ever been released on DVD in the United States. Ben Gazzara
is Al Capone, immersed in the bustling bootlegging underbelly of the
1920s. He’s surrounded by a gritty ensemble cast featuring Sylvester
Stallone as archcriminal Frank Nitti, John Cassavetes as New York gang
lord Frankie Yale, Susan Blakely as Capone’s flapper love interest
Iris Crawford and Harry Guardino as Chicago crime boss Johnny Torrio.
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. Bonus features include a commentary
by Director Steve Carver, and original theatrical trailers.

with Dennis. Chris invites Dennis back to dinner in Sander’s house.
The three of them get along quite well together and Dennis asks to spend

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.

Adamson's "Family Film" Arrives in January!

stay together in the cult classic CARNIVAL MAGIC,
being released in a special DVD/Blu-ray combo pack Jan. 25 from Film
Chest on the CULTRA label (distributed by Virgil Films & Entertainment).
The late Al Adamson’s (DRACULA VS.
FRANKENSTEIN) G-rated talking monkey movie has been the source of rumors
and wild speculation for nearly 30 years. Some insist only a single
print was ever made, while others claim the film never saw the light
of day until a copy was “found” in Adamson’s Florida
home shortly after he was murdeed. (READ

films, AIP classics and, most importantly, kung fu movies. Lots and
lots of kung fu movies. Chris Poggiali gives us the full story -- as
well as complete listings -- of one of the first programs to drag Chinese
