THE BLACK WINDMILL

Released 29th March 2021
On 29th March '70s espionage thriller The Black Windmill (1974) arrives on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK. Directed by legendary filmmaker Don Siegel (Dirty Harry), the film stars Michael Caine as a British secret agent targeted for death by friend and foe alike. Underrated and under-seen, this riveting suspense thriller features a superb cast and an outstanding score from Roy Budd (Get Carter). The release features a reversible sleeve with alternate artwork and new interviews with cast and crew.
Major John Tarrant (Caine) takes up the revenge trail when ruthless gunrunners kidnap his young son and demand a king's ransom in uncut diamonds for the boy's release. With each new lead Tarrant’s chilling quest becomes increasingly deadly as he begins to suspect that one of his colleagues is in league with the merciless abductors.

On 26th April we're releasing cult 80s horror SPOOKIES (1986) on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, title 019 on the 101 Films Black Label. Produced by Michael Lee, founder of legendary video distributor VIPCO, the film's tumultuous production history saw original co-writers/directors Brendan Faulkner and Thomas Doran and co-writer/producer Frank M. Farel fired, and Eugenie Joseph brought on board to shoot new scenes and re-edit the existing footage. The chaotic and deranged result has gone on to amass an army of devotees in the intervening years, attaining genuine cult status among horror fans. Among the additional content is a new version of feature-length documentary VIPCO: The Untold Story.

After their car breaks down, a group of travelers find themselves stranded in a remote part of New England. After taking shelter in a spooky old mansion, complete with a graveyard, they discover a ouija board and decide to spend the night attempting to summon some spirits. But the group soon learns that playing with the forces of black magic isn't fun and games, and it's not long before they're head-to-head with all sorts of demonic creatures, shape shifters, and other forms of evil, all of whom are more than happy to pick them off in the most gruesome of ways.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Oh yeah bout time this got released

[Justin101]

The included Vipco documentary is worth the price alone it's really good.

[MrBarlow]

After a bit of cursing and swearing managed to pre order Spookies bloody Wi-Fi

[nicholasrope]

I don't get why some releases are Limited Editions.

That Vipco Documentary could have gotten a release on it's own.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

April 26th.
