Really not a promising start.

It's an unique experience cough...a sort of cut and paste job really, prime exploitation in fact.

This is more of a warning btw

Coming from Severin:

The Other Hell (1980)

Bruno Mattei's Nunsploitation Classic
Now Uncut & Uncensored In HD
For The First Time Ever!

At the peak of his '80s excess, Italian sleaze maestro Bruno Mattei using the alias Stefan Oblowsky stunned audiences with this Nunsploitation shocker about a series of brutal murders in a depraved convent. And while his cinematic legacy may remain controversial, Mattei delivers a surprisingly stylized yet undeniably blasphemous orgy of stabbings, stigmata, Satanism, violence and graphic savagery that ranks among his very best. Franca Stoppi (THE TRUE STORY OF THE NUN OF MONZA), Carlo De Mejo (WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE) and Franco Garofalo (HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD) star in this nugget written by the notorious Claudio Fragasso (RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR, TROLL 2) and featuring a score borrowed from Goblin, newly transferred from a 35mm print discovered behind a false wall in a Bologna nunnery!

Special Features:

Audio Commentary With Co-Director/Co-Writer Claudio Fragasso Moderated By Freak-O-Rama's Federico Caddeo
Sister Franca: Interview With Actress Franca Stoppi
To Hell And Back: Archive Interviews With Director Bruno Mattei and Actor Carlo De Mejo

Dark Waters (1994)

It has been acclaimed as "visually amazing" (Videoscope), "deeply disturbing" (BBC Radio One), "a must see for serious horror buffs" (Film Review), and compared to the works of Bergman, Bava and Argento. Now experience the modern Nunsploitation masterpiece from co-writer/director Mariano Baino as you've never seen or heard it before: When a young Englishwoman attempts to discover her mysterious connection to a remote island convent, she will unlock an unholy communion of torment, blasphemy and graphic demonic depravity.
Louise Salter (INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE) stars in this "stunning and horrifying debut" (Digitally Obsessed) filmed on location along the grim Ukraine coast now transferred in HD from the original 35mm negative and featuring over 4 hours of startling Special Features.

I have the NoShame release that came with the medallion. It's an interesting film that I'll probably look to upgrade eventually despite it not featuring amongst my favourites where Italian horror is concerned.

I can almost guarantee they won't top the NoShame release...unless they produce another amulet of course.

I think I read an article in Fangoria back in the 90's about it being filmed in the Ukraine and I thought it sounded really interesting, but then just never got the chance to watch it.

It might have been Darkside Magazine It also had a location report from a Michele Soavi film in it as well, it was possibly The Sect... it must have been Dellamorte...

I used to have it on vhs as well as owning the NoShame box set. I think it was Tartan who issued the video.

This is what they've done for Cathy's Curse so who knows!

It was Tartan yes, I remember seeing the video in the shops. I didn't have as much expendable cash in those days, now I just buy anything and everything at the drop of a hat

They also did this for The Sinful Dwarf... So all bets are off
