ISLAND OF TERROR! A weekend retreat on a private island should be a recipe for rest and relaxation unless you're appearing in a giallo by the master of the macabre, Mario Bava (Black Sunday, Blood and Black Lace) Wealthy industrialist George Stark (Teodora Corrà , Django the Bastard) has gathered a group of friends played by a who's who of Italian genre cinema including William Berger (Faccia a faccia), Ira von Fürstenberg (The Fifth Cord), Edwige Fenech (Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) and Howard Ross (The New York Ripper) to his island retreat. He hopes to entice them into investing in a new project, but soon the sunbathing and cocktails parties give way to murder, as the corpses begin to pile up one by one. Paying homage to Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians, Five Dolls for an August Moon turns the style up to ten. Surrounded by beautiful women, stunning locations and flamboyant fashions and abetted by Piero Umiliani's equally exotic score Bava creates one of his most eye-catching movies, a visual tour de force.

Shameless proudly presents the 1st ever Cinema-of-Death anthology of Ruggero Deodato, Mr Cannibal himself, the director of possibly the nastiest Video Nasties which have since become cult must-see and now subject of top academic research, public debates and high-brow critical acclaim. Cannibal HolocaustCannibal Holocaust on its 1st release, director Deodato was charged with killing his own cast - and jailed! In UK, it incarnated THE Video Nasty. Banned and then cut by several minutes, it took a full 30 years for the censors to relax their grip! We present two versions of this, the most controversial film ever made: A unique Director's re-edit (shown 1st in London's West-End) which tones down the animal cruelty (to fit better with 21st Century sensibilities) without shortening the film. The other is the full strength 80s dish! Very strong stuff - especially because of its unsurpassed, documentary-like, extremely realistic depiction of gory violence. With this landmark film Deodato single-handedly invented the 'found-footage' genre (imitated by Blair Witch et al). Often imitated, this is The Original and unequaled best. House On The Edge Of The ParkThe House On The Edge Of The Park also a Video Nasty, this claustrophobic staging of a vicious home-invasion scenario explodes into slasher torture hell, with star David Hess giving one of the strongest performances of his career and Deodato a master-class in directing, proving again that under the blood and guts there is a brilliant film maker formed by Neo-realism. Special Features: Deodato and star Giovanni Lombardo Radice in a public debate with senior BBFC examiner. In-depth interview with the late David Hess. The Phantom of DeathIn The Phantom of Death Deodato's unwavering directing meets a barnstorming performance from Michael York (Cabaret, Austin Powers) as the pianist virtuoso who suddenly starts aging at alarming speed - progeria, a devastating real-life affliction. With death closing in fast, the pianist loses his mind in a murderous frenzy of brutal hackings... Edwige Fenech and Donald Pleasence co-star.
All the illicit thrills which genre fans cherish (sex, violence, weirdness galore) are present woven in a Hitchcockian woman-in-peril/murder mystery plot with trippy, supernatural frills. Bruno Nicolai s sitar-tinged music score swirls into psychedelic overdrive. Starring the undisputed Queen of Italian exploitation: the impossibly beautiful, sensuous, Edwige Fenech, whose uninhibited nudity in films is never ever vulgar. Here she stars as a woman who joins a satanic sect in order to escape from a man who is trying to kill her. black-robed orgy ensues, replete with blood sacrifice, oddball chanting, and a delectable helping of nudity and sex...
A 'violent masterpiece' directed by Sergio Martino (Torso) An ambassador's wife discovers that one of the men in her life - either her husband an ex-lover or her current lover - may be a vicious serial killer. This beautiful hypnotic film depicts a series of grisly murders the victims of which all have some connection to our heroine Mrs. Julie Wardh (the stunning queen of 1970's Italian Giallo cinema: Edwige Fenech) Voted one of the top Giallos ever not only for its surreal S&M imagery featuring plenty of suspense sleaze nudity and gruesome killings but also because it this is the film which placed Edwige Fenech (Strip Nude For Your Killer) in the hearts of besotted fans around the world.

Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale The Black Cat, Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, from director Sergio Martino (Torso), weaves the key motifs from Poe's gothic yarn into one of the most sensual films from the Golden era of giallo. Luigi Pistilli (Milano Calibro 9, A Bay of Blood) plays writer Oliviero, an abrasive drunk who amuses himself by holding drunken orgies at his grand country manor much to the displeasure of his long-suffering wife (Anita Strindberg). But this decadence is soon rocked by a series of grisly murders, in which Oliviero finds himself implicated. Notable for giving screen starlet Edwige Fenech her first bad girl role, Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, with its many unexpected twists and turns, is just as bewitching as its title would suggest. Special Edition Features: Brand new 2K restoration of the film from the original camera negative Original Italian and English soundtracks in DTS-HD mono audio English subtitles for the Italian soundtrack Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack Through the Keyhole a brand new interview with director Sergio Martino Unveiling the Vice making-of retrospective featuring interviews with Martino, star Edwige Fenech and screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi Dolls of Flesh and Blood: The Gialli of Sergio Martino a visual essay by Michael Mackenzie exploring the director's unique contributions to the giallo genre The Strange Vices of Ms. Fenech film historian Justin Harries on the Your Vice actress' prolific career Eli Roth on Your Vice and the genius of Martino Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Matthew Griffin
Disappointed by films that just don't live up to their promise? Well baby this one does what it says on the box so strap yourself in for sleazy nudity-filled gore a go-go giallo fun! The death of a fashion model leads to a revenge-driven trail of death that soon has the modelling agency she worked for in a frenzy of panic as the clothes get slashed and the sluts get slayed. In the middle of this kink-fest is the dependably beautiful Edwige Fenech doing all she can to avoid being the next to shed her clothes for a killer who likes their victims easy on the eye and stripped for the kill. From the mind of Burial Ground director Andrea Bianchi comes a gloriously trashy movie riddled with unnecessary but very welcome top-drawer nudity and awash with neon red blood but most importantly a well-made film that delivers wave after wave of guilty exploitation pleasure.

Edgar Allan Poe's celebrated story The Black Cat has provided the inspiration for numerous films over the years. But few adaptations are as stylish as those offered up by the twin Italian titans of terror, Sergio Martino and Lucio Fulci. In Martino's classic giallo Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, teacher Oliviero (Luigi Pistilli, A Bay of Blood) finds himself under suspicion for murder when one of his students and mistress is found brutally murdered. As more bodies start to pile up, the arrival of Oliviero's attractive niece (Edwige Fenech, Five Dolls for an August Moon, All the Colours of the Dark) brings with it complications of its own. In The Black Cat, from that other Godfather of Gore, Lucio Fulci (Zombie), Scotland Yard Inspector Gorley (David Warbeck, The Beyond) find himself summoned to a sleepy English village to investigate the recent murder of a young couple. With no obvious signs of entry at the murder scene, Gorley is forced to start considering the possibility that his suspect may not be human Finally together on Blu-ray and in stunning new 2K restorations from the original camera negatives, fans can enjoy the double-dose of terror that is Edgar Allan Poe's Black Cats Italian-style!

Case Of The Bloody Iris (Dir. Giuliano Carnimeo 1972): Jennifer a young model moves into a flat that was previously occupied by a performer who was brutally murdered. The crime is yet unsolved and Jennifer's neighbours - from an elderly lady and her disfigured son to a lecherous lesbian - may be possible suspects. The killer slices more beautiful girls open. Dressed in black leather and tooled with a cutthroat razor Jennifer could be the killer's next victim in the movie's chilling conclusion. Snowbeast (Dir. Herb Wallerstein 1977): Mystery hangs over the Rill Ski Resort in Colorado after a young skier is found dead by an animal. But no ordinary animal. The town sheriff and naturalists believe it could be a Yeti - the creature that was seen for years in the Colorado Rockies and North western America. After many other skiers are found dead Tony Rill a good hunter sees a white creature disappearing into the woods. Worried he informs his Grandmother the ski resort supervisor but in order to keep her business she keeps the resort open and says creatures are legends After more attacks 2 champion skiers go in pursuit to stop the beast.
Giuliano Carnimeo's uncut 1971 thriller 'The Case Of The Bloody Iris' (a.k.a. 'What Are Those Strange Drops of Blood Doing On Jennifer's Body?') is a classy example of the Italian giallo thriller. The sensual Edwige Fenech plays a model who moves into the apartment of a slain colleague and soon fears that she's next on the killer's list. Carnimeo directing under his preferred pseudonym Anthony Ascott constructs the movie as a series of sudden murders and last-second fake-outs and he distracts the audience with half-naked models up until the climactic revelation of the killer's identity. Dig that groovy Bruno Nicolai score!
On his wedding night, of all times, a husband appropriately named Ace (Adriano Celentano) gambles away the night at a local bar-and wins a handy amount of money. As Ace heads home to his waiting bride Silvia (Edwige Fenech), he is killed by a hired gun. When he reappears to his wife, he has a hard time convincing her that only she can see him....he is definitely invisible to everyone else, and definitely quite dead. Aghast at his wife's determination to go to work as dancer on stage, he undermines her rehearsal and then connives to get her married off to an appropriately aged and wealthy banker. So the next question arises-is there divorce after death?
