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.

Now you see it. You're amazed. You can't believe it. Your eyes open wider. It's horrible, but you can't look away. There's no chance for you. No escape. You're helpless, helpless. There's just one chance, if you can scream. Throw your arms across your eyes and scream, scream for your life!" And scream Fay Wray does most famously in this monster classic, one of the greatest adventure films of all time, which even in an era of computer-generated wizardry remains a marvel of stop-motion animation. Robert Armstrong stars as famed adventurer Carl Denham, who is leading a "crazy voyage" to a mysterious, uncharted island to photograph "something monstrous ... neither beast nor man". Also aboard is waif Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) and Bruce Cabot as big lug John Driscoll, the ship's first mate. King Kong's first half-hour is steady going, with engagingly corny dialogue ("Some big, hard-boiled egg gets a look at a pretty face and bang, he cracks up and goes sappy") and ominous portent that sets the stage for the horror to come. Once our heroes reach Skull Island, the movie comes to roaring, chest-thumping, T-rex-slamming, snake-throttling, pterodactyl-tearing, native-stomping life. King Kong was ranked by the American Film Institute as among the 50 best films of the century. Kong making his last stand atop the Empire State Building is one of the film's most indelible and iconic images. --Donald Liebenson, Amazon.comOn the DVD: Although a little light on extras, this is happily the Director's Cut, restoring scenes that were censored after the film's original 1933 run, including Kong peeling off Fay Wray's clothes like a banana, and our hirsute hero using unfortunate natives as dental floss. The ratio of 4:3 is correct for a film of this age; the picture and (mono) sound are perfectly acceptable without being revelatory. The 25-minute "making of" documentary from 1992 is a 60th anniversary tribute to the film, which details all of Kong's many ground-breaking contributions to cinema, from Willis O'Brien's use of stop-motion and rear projection effects to Max Steiner's music score. There are contributions from film historians, modern admirers of the film including composer Jerry Goldsmith--who admits that Steiner created a template that Hollywood composers are still following--and a few surviving participants such as sound effects man Murray Spivak. Apparently, director Merian C. Cooper's original idea was to capture live gorillas, transport them to the island of Komodo and film them fighting the giant lizards! Thanks to Willis O'Brien's pioneering effects work good sense prevailed and a cinema classic was born. --Mark Walker

Inspiration for 'The Blair Witch Project' this infamous mock-documentary banned in the UK since 1983 replays the recovered footage of a trio of film makers who disappear in the South American jungle while searching for a lost tribe of cannibals...
In 1979 four documentary film makers disappeared in the jungles of South America while shooting a film about cannibalism... Six months later the New York University along with the Pan American Broadcasting Corporation sent a search team in looking for the film makers. They could never have been prepared for what they found. Owing to the harrowing and graphic nature of the film Cannibal Holocaust has been banned in over 50 countries and has achieved a notoriety surpassed by no ot
Umberto Lenzi (CANNIBAL FEROX) directed this atrocious cannibal/religious cult exploitation feature that has become a cult favorite for its awful dialogue countless scenes of unintentional comedy copious gore and a wealth of footage lifted from other cannibal films. Filmed not long after the Jonestown tragedy in Guyana director Lenzi tries his hand at topicality by having the film revolve around an insane religious leader named Jonas who has taken a small cult of people from America and moved them into a camp in New Guinea that is located right in the middle of cannibal country. When a woman named Diana sends her sister Sheila mysterious footage of an apparently cannibalistic ritual taking place at the camp Sheila becomes determined to rescue her. Arriving in New Guinea Sheila hires an ex-G.I. to help her put together an expedition to the camp with the intention of forcibly removing Diana.
If you are a fan of Tobe Hooper's classic film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre then you are in for a treat. This was Hooper's follow-up film to Chainsaw. In fact it features the same damsel-in-distress Marilyn Burns and was co-written by Chainsaw collaborator Kim Henkel. An Academy of Science Fiction and Horror nominee Eaten Alive is a very disturbing movie and features some of the most truly horrific scenes ever filmed. Judd (Neville Brand) is the owner of a dilapidated motel buried deep in the bayou that caters to strangers passing through. Unfortunately for the guests he also caters to his pet alligator's veracious appetite. Eaten Alive also features a very early performance by Robert Englund (Elm Street's Freddy Krueger)
Banned and heavily censored throughout the world here is a film that surpasses its reputation as a shotgun blast to the senses. Cannibal Holocaust presents the found footage of four documentary filmmakers who experience brutal death at the hands of a savage South American tribe of flesh-eaters. This footage is so intense so graphic and so unflinching in its realism that the director and producer of Cannibal Holocaust were arrested upon its original release and the film seized. Widely acknowledged as the uncredited inspiration for The Blair Witch Project Cannibal Holocaust has been both praised and vilified for its portrait of savagery. Ruggero Deodato's nihilistic masterwork critiques the implications of Mondo-style filmmaking even as it explores the most disturbing extremes of cruelty and exploitation. Not for the weak of stomach the film's horrifying power cannot be denied.

In a small intimate space the singer performs toned down emotional versions of hits including 'Todos Es De Color' 'Toca Para Mi' and 'Amiga Mia'.
