"For one of the final films of his legendary career, director Antonio Margheriti (CASTLE OF BLOOD, WAR OF THE PLANETS, CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE) headed to the Philippines to deliver “the perfect ‘80s Italian popcorn flick” (Mondo Digital): When environmental activists attempt to expose an evil corporation (led by Charles Napier of SUPERVIXENS and RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II fame) dumping nuclear waste into the local volcano, they’ll instead discover graphic gore, exploding miniatures and a rampaging full-scale kaiju-style creature that remains “one of the most bizarre-looking monsters ever created” (The Bloody Pit of Horror). Luciano Pigozzi (STRIKE COMMANDO) co-stars in “a helluva entertaining monster movie” (Schmollywood Babylon) written by Tito Carpi (RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS), now scanned in 4K from the original negative with Special Features that include the North American premiere of the 2013 documentary on Margheriti directed by his son Edoardo."

"From Juan Piquer Simón – the infamous writer/director of PIECES and SLUGS – comes The Restored Director’s Cut of the French/Spanish co-production that remains the most singularly screwy E.T.-influenced film in EuroCult history: When snorkel-nosed furry aliens arrive on Earth, they’ll encounter a foggy wilderness filled with sociopathic poachers, Simón’s twisted vision of what an ‘80s American rock band looks/sounds like, bizarre bursts of violence and pathos, and the boy who befriends a blue-eyed extraterrestrial he names ‘Trumpy’. Discover the movie beyond MST3K, “a very, very weird film” (Through The Shattered Lens) – also known in various versions as RETURN OF E.T., THE UNEARTHLING and POD PEOPLE – now featuring a 4K scan from the 35mm negative with Special Features that include a feature-length documentary on the director."

'The Sensual World of Black Emanuelle' - 15 disc Blu-ray Pre-order available from Severin Films direct - $195:00

Release date: July 25

"She was the pleasure-seeking photojournalist – forever embodied by the exquisite Indonesian actress Laura Gemser, most frequently in collaboration with writer/director Joe D’Amato – who would uncover an increasingly lurid world of sex cults, snuff films, cannibal jungles, women’s prisons, white slavers, depraved convents, and beyond to become the premier feminist icon in genre history. This landmark collection produced by award-winning writer/director Kier-La Janisse now brings together 21 BLACK EMANUELLE films, 2 adjacent titles starring EuroCult heroine Ajita Wilson, and the D’Amato documentary INFERNO ROSSO, most newly scanned, restored, and on Blu-ray for the first time in America. The journey continues with 2 soundtrack CDs curated exclusively for this release encompassing music by Nico Fidenco and more, the lavishly illustrated 356-page THE BLACK EMANUELLE BIBLE designed by Luke Insect and featuring new writings by noted film scholars and historians as well as Laura Gemser’s in-depth 1996 Nocturno Magazine interview, and over 40 hours of Special Features that include alternate versions, audio commentaries, video essays, a documentary on Gemser’s husband/co-star Gabriele Tinti, the ‘80s Gemser workout video Looking Good, and much more.

THE LAST HORROR FILM (UNCUT)

“AN UNDERGROUND GEM…Spinell brings an uncomfortable authenticity to the role, making for a sympathetic antihero you’ll root for even as he makes your skin crawl.” Horror DNA

THE WORLDWIDE PREMIERE OF THE FULLY RESTORED VERSION WITH 5+ HOURS OF NEW SPECIAL FEATURES!

THE LAST HORROR FILM:

Two years after making grindhouse history with MANIAC, Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro reunited for a shocker filmed guerilla-style at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival and presented here totally uncut for the first time ever: When a disturbed NYC cabbie dreams of becoming a horror auteur, he’ll stalk the genre’s most popular actress across the French Riviera for a cinephiles’ orgy of unwitting celebrities, topless starlets, graphic gore, Munro at her sexiest and Spinell at the peak of his skeevy genius. Co-writer/producer Judd Hamilton (STARCRASH), director/co-writer David Winters (WEST SIDE STORY) and Filomena Spagnuolo (Joe’s mom) co-star in “an awesome movie and Spinell’s best film” (Bloody Disgusting) – also known as FANATIC – now scanned in 4K from the original negative with additional scenes sourced from a 35mm print discovered at Cinémathèque Française.
