I was under the impression that a second Larraz box set was a done deal from various comments I've read on various forums.

I hope there is another set, maybe they thought this film didn’t fit with the others so they are putting it out on its own??

just watched An American Werewolf in London for Halloween viewing and have to say its a stunner. the clarity is just amazing with excellent grain structure. i thought the extra clarity would expose the make-up effects in a bad light, but not so. the quality of the prosthetics are enhanced and can still give modern films a run for their money. its a great movie and probably the one that i have have re-watched more than any other, to the point i'm saying the lines before the actors have opened their mouths.

I watched it on Monday night and was blown away how awesome it looked, especially the first time we see Jack in the hospital, the make up looked better than ever!

NEW UK TITLE: Harpoon (Blu-ray)

Release date: January 27th, 2020

Following a ferocious bust-up, Richard tries to make amends in the form of a sailing trip on his family yacht. As food and water supplies start to sink and rivalries, dark secrets and sexual tension start to surface…

"They say every story about love, friendship and betrayal extols a key lesson in virtue and morality. This is not one of those stories.

Jonah (Munro Chambers, Turbo Kid), Richard (Christopher Gray, TV’s The Mist) and Sasha (Emily Tyra, Code Black) have been friends a long time… maybe too long. Following a ferocious bust-up, Richard tries to make amends in the form of a sailing trip on his family yacht. After all, a friendship is the kind of ship that never sinks – until the yacht breaks down and the trio are left stranded in the middle of the ocean. As food and water supplies start to sink and rivalries, dark secrets and sexual tension start to surface, the question becomes: which of these three broken humans will run out of air first?

Dubbed a “twisty little thriller” (Eye For Film) that “will appeal to horror lovers everywhere” (Love Horror), Harpoon is Edgar Allan Poe by way of Seinfeld and an exercise in brilliant pacing, direction and acting. As the story takes darkly comedic and always unexpected turns, the three leads crescendo into a culmination of their respective crises of conscience – except the crisis here is that they have no conscience. Welcome aboard!"

NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Edge of the Axe (Blu-ray with Ltd Ed Slipcover)

Release date: January 27th, 2020

From cult Spanish filmmaker José Ramón Larraz (Vampyres, Symptoms) comes this long-neglected late 80s slasher classic, finally unleashed on Blu-ray for the first time ever! Grab your copy with an exclusive slipcover when ordering from us direct

"The rural community of Paddock County is being rocked by the crazed exploits of an axe-wielding psychopath, who stalks the night in a black trenchcoat and mask. As the victims pile up, the authorities attempt to keep a lid on the situation, whilst computer whizz-kid Gerald and girlfriend Lillian seek to unmask the killer before the town population reaches zero.

Nominally set in Northern California but shot primarily in Madrid, giving the film an off-kilter, American/European atmosphere akin to the likes of Pieces, Edge of the Axe is a late entry hack-and-slash masterpiece from one of the titans of Spanish terror."
