I've not even heard of Nomads before but it sounds pretty good, anyone seen it? I won't be pre-ordering it though, with Dawn of the Mummy and now Satan's Blood both being delayed by many months.

Here's my review from October that you 'liked'.

Nomads (1986)

Leslie Anne Down stars as a nurse bitten by a raving dying patient (Pierce Brosnan) and is haunted by psychic images of the man's past showing him moving into a new LA home that was frequented by Nomads - evil spirits in human form who wander the deserts of the earth.

The feature debut of director John McTiernan is an enigmatic film that cross cuts between Brosnan's persecution and hunt for the spirits and Down's psychic breakdown. The spirits lead by Adam Ant take the form of a motorcycle gang that wreak havoc and kill during the dark Californian nights.

It's all rather gripping and mysterious stuff, lacking gore or anything particularly horrific it all plays out with a weird atmosphere of dread under the LA lights. Brosnan is excellent, even his French accent isn't too distracting and the non-linear story never becomes confusing and works very well to create a nicely effective film.

Nomads is a film i've seen a few times now and it never bores. Would make a terrific double bill with Wolfen (1981)

Full details

'The Last Shark' (1981) - Limited Edition Blu-ray + Magnet + Poster Pre-order available from Treasured Films direct - UK$18.99

Release date: June 6

"Author Peter Benton (James Franciscus) finds his idyllic summer thrown into a tailspin when he learns of an angry 35 feet long great white shark is out for blood and targeting local swimmers at the nearby beach resort. The mayor doesn't seem to give a damn, so it's up to him and veteran shark hunter Ron Hamer (Vic Morrow) to put an end to the great white's bloody rampage. Sound familiar?

Boasting some truly memorable and gory set pieces, especially one involving a helicopter, and a catchy and killer soundtrack merging the best of disco and the De Angelis brothers; THE LAST SHARK is an essential entry in the dubious Italian Sharksploitation sub-genre and directed by none other than celebrated Italian action maestro Enzo G. Castellari (The Inglorious Bastards, High Crime) this high seas eco-horror makes its UK Blu-ray debut loaded with brand new extra features in this much-treasured special edition!"
