Tom Jeffrey's classic Australian film, THE ODD ANGRY SHOT, is set in the late 1960s during the brutal war Australians shared with the United States: the struggle for Vietnam. Harry (Graham Kennedy), a hard-edged Special Air Service Corporal, meets a new company of soldiers during his second tour in Vietnam. There's the naive Bill (John Jarratt), the easy-going Bung (John Hargreaves), the blunt Rogers (Bryan Brown), the pragmatic Dawson (Graeme Blundell), and the youthful and innocent Scott (Ian Gilmour). Because of their training as professional soldiers from Australia's toughest Army unit, these men believe they can deal with any situation. They pass the time playing practical jokes, getting into drunken brawls and humoring themselves to keep their minds off the war. But, when the first odd angry shot rings out, and an enemy mortar barrage hits their camp causing many casualties, the men realize their protective shield of humor is no defense at all against the harsh realities of armed combat.

A high school teacher is accused of assaulting the young Susanne while personally tutoring her, but the truth is much crazier than fiction in this pants-swelling tale. Inga is very shy about sex, but loves to only touch herself. Little does she know, as she begins her search for the ultimate encounter, that she'll end up in a room full of horny men with plans all their own! In the third story, a pool party turns into an illicit affair for one boy who, on a dare, tries to seduce his girlfriend's mother... but the secretive girlfriend has a shocking hidden agenda. In what may be the craziest story yet in a SCHOOLGIRL REPORT film, a young couple fool a family by staging an entire Exorcist scenario to have sex, with the boyfriend being the religious savior and the girl as the demonically possessed innocent! And in the final story, a young schoolgirl becomes the mistress of a much older man but, when his wife finds out, all hell breaks loose.

FERNANDO DI LEO: THE ITALIAN CRIME COLLECTION VOLUME 2

SHOOT FIRST, DIE LATER SYNOPSIS

One of the most impressive Italian crime/police movies ever made, desperately sought after and never before released worldwide, Raro Video is proud to be releasing the tough, exciting, dramatically potent, action packed film: Shoot First, Die Later. Luc Merenda gives the performance of his career as a highly regarded police detective who is taking syndicate money in exchange for departmental favors. His father, a simple man, also works for the department but at a lower level; he isn't jealous of his son, but rather proud of him, little knowing that he's a crooked cop. A series of events leads the young detective to ask his father for a favor (he wants a certain police report that is desired by the syndicate) and it doesn't take long for the detective's father to realize his son is on the take, which leads to numerous complications.

KIDNAP SYNDICATE SYNOPSIS

Fabrizio, a blue collar kid is friends with Antonio, a son of the extremely rich but incredibly repugnant businessman Filippini. When criminals kidnap Antonio in front of school, the brave Fabrizio tries to prevent this and the nervous kidnappers pull him into the car as well. They demand a huge ransom for the boys, but when the fathers of the two boys try to get the boys back on their own terms they get entangled in gangster mayhem.

NAKED VIOLENCE SYNOPSIS

A teacher of an evening school for youngsters with social problems is brutally raped and murdered right in her classroom. The only suspects are the students and the police are surprised to find them all quietly in their homes. There is a reason. Each kid declares that he did not participate in the brutality but was forced to watch. The police officer Lamberti has reasons to believe that someone, an adult, has orchestrated the kids whose name they are too afraid to mention.

Kino Lorber and Redemption Films celebrate the cinematic legacy of director Jess Franco
Deluxe Blu-ray and DVD editions of The Awful Dr. Orlof,
A Virgin Among the Living Dead and Nightmares Come at Night
presented in association with Eurociné to be released in August 2013!

Kino Lorber and Redemption Films celebrate the cinematic legacy of director Jess Franco with deluxe Blu-ray and DVD editions of three of his most important films, presented in association with Eurociné: The Awful Dr. Orlof (1962), A Virgin Among the Living Dead (1973) and Nightmares Come at Night (1970). Though highly regarded among cult movie enthusiasts, Franco is a notorious figure within the world of horror, for the savage eroticism and obsessive nature of his films, which defy the conventional structure and tone of the typical thriller. "Too arty for the horror crowd and too macabre and lowbrow for the art crowd," Fangoria editor Chris Alexander wrote, "He existed in a world of his own, a class of his own."

Born Jesús Franco Manera in 1930, credited on a variety of pseudonyms (such as Clifford Brown and A.M. Frank), he is best known as Jess Franco, director of such horror/sexploitation films as Female Vampire (1973), Exorcism (1975), and Vampyros Lesbos (1971). Franco directed almost 200 features, in virtually every genre, and was perhaps at his best when working with his muses, Soldedad Miranda (1943-1970) and Lina Romay (1954-2012). Because he made so many films, which were released in multiple versions and under various titles, and because he so frequently employed a pseudonym, a complete Franco filmography is likely impossible to compile. Franco died Tuesday April 2, 2013, at the age of 82, after being hospitalized for a stroke on March 27.

"Franco was, and is, a true hero of exploitation cinema. A man who loved, ate and slept film," recalls Redemption founder Nigel Wingrove, "and who in his heart was an artist and like most artists he had his flaws and weaknesses but ultimately what made him an artist was that he could do nothing else but make films. He may have used a camera rather than a paintbrush and film instead of a canvas, but that was because film was his blood, and he only stopped filming when his blood stopped flowing and his heart, like his camera, finally stopped."

In August, 2013, Redemption will commemorate Franco with a special Blu-ray edition of his breakthrough film, The Awful Dr. Orlof (1962), featuring "The Horror of Orlof," one of the last videotaped interviews with Franco (directed by David Gregory and produced by Elijah Drenner). Newly mastered in HD, this is the original French-language version (the film was later censored and padded with inconsequential footage for release in Spain). Among other features, the disc will include a brand new commentary track by Tim Lucas (founder and editor of Video Watchdog), as well as a newly-filmed remembrances by Franco's friends and collaborators (directed by Daniel Gouyette).

Lesser-known in the director's canon (because for more than 40 years it was considered a lost film), Nightmares Come at Night is an erotic thriller starring Soledad Miranda and Diana Lorys. In the years since its rediscovery, Nightmares has become embraced as quintessential Franco for its facile blending of horror, eroticism, and the surreal. The disc will feature a Lucas commentary, and a second memorial video by Gouyette, and a third mini-documentary to be announced.

The pièce de résistance of the collection is A Virgin Among the Living Dead, which features Franco's original cut in its entirety (Christina, Princess of Eroticism), as well as the more commonly-available recut version (with zombie footage directed by Jean Rollin: A Virgin Among the Living Dead), as well as a deleted orgy scene, featuring Alice Arno, which was shot for a third incarnation of the film. The disc also includes "Mysterious Dreams," one of the last videotaped interviews with Franco (directed by Gregory and produced by Drenner), as well as a third collection of posthumous tributes by the director's friends and collaborators.

All three films were newly-mastered in HD from archival film elements from Eurocine Paris, are presented in French with optional English subtitles or English dubbed, produced for video by Bret Wood.

In 2014, Redemption will continue to pay its respects to Franco with at least three additional Blu-rays of his notorious films.

As Tim Lucas recently wrote in a memorial piece, "Jess Franco is finished with life, but life is far from finished with him."

Ryoko (Etsuko Hara) leaves the chaos of her dorm for the peace and quiet of her own place because she wants to keep her relationship with a doctor at Murata Hospital a secret. Unfortunately, that privacy is short-lived as she discovers a “peeping tom" next door neighbor that spies on her all the time. When the doctor's wife learns of the affair, poor Ryoko gets caught in a web of jilted lovers, frisky lesbians, slapstick sexual assault and embarrassing incidents with household appliances.

DVD Details available under "Read more"

Kino Lorber and Redemption are proud to announce the Blu-ray and DVD releases of Cold Eyes of Fear, directed by Enzo G. Castellari, the director of the original The Inglorious Bastards; and The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine, directed by Sergio Grieco, and loosely based on a play by Victor Hugo.

Both films come to Blu-ray and DVD on May 21, 2013, with individual SRPs of $24.95 each for the Blu-ray editions, and $19.95 each for the DVD editions. Both are mastered in HD from the original 35mm negatives. Cold Eyes of Fear is English dubbed and includes the original theatrical trailer plus original trailers of other Redemption releases. The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine is presented in Italian with optional English subtitles, and includes original trailers of other Redemption releases.

During the golden age of the grindhouse and the waning years of the drive-in, the Italian film industry provided American exploitation screens with some of its most savory product. In addition to the more commonly known genres of spaghetti western, Eurocrime and supernatural horror, Italian filmmakers fused other ingredients together to form even more eclectic types of film. Cold Eyes of Fear is a fascinating hybrid of Poliziotteschi (police films) and gialli (erotic horror), while The Sinful Nuns of St. Valentine embodies all the classic traits of the controversial genre known as nunsploitation.

It has been hailed as "amazingly disturbing" (Dread Central), “extreme and uncompromised"� (Roger Ebert) and “one of the best true crime films ever made" (DVD Talk). Now from the punishing mind of writer/producer/director Jim Van Bebber comes his epic of hallucinatory horror like you've never seen it before: This is the ultimate account of Charles Manson and his followers, a blood-soaked saga that takes you from their drug-fueled orgies, to their grisly massacres, and into the legacy of depravity that survives today. It is a singular vision of nihilistic evil that remains alarmingly original, unapologetically graphic and shockingly real. These are the most infamous crimes of our time as depicted by one of the most dangerous underground filmmakers of all time. This is THE MANSON FAMILY.

Kino Lorber and Redemption are proud to announce the Blu-ray and DVD releases of two more films by French cult horror filmmaker Jean Rollin: The Grapes of Death and Night of the Hunted.

The films come to Blu-ray and DVD on April 23rd, each with individual SRPs of $29.95 for the Blu-ray edition, and $24.95 for the DVD edition, mastered in HD from the original 35mm negatives. Both come packed with special features.

The Grapes of Death includes an introduction by Jean Rollin; an interview with Jean Rollin, by Patrick Lambert and Frederick Durand (2007, 49 min.), in which Rollin discusses his varied literary influences; a 16-page booklet with an essay by Tim Lucas, editor of Video Watchdog; original theatrical trailer and original trailers of other Rollin films.

Night of the Hunted includes an introduction by Jean Rollin; two deleted sex scenes (8 min.); an excerpt of an interview with Jean Rollin by Joshua T. Gravel; a 16-page booklet with an essay by Tim Lucas, editor of Video Watchdog; the original theatrical trailer and original trailers of other Rollin films.

Taking leave of the erotic vampire films that had comprised most of his work until then, The Grapes of Death (1978) was Rollin's first foray into the gore movie. Trading the dreamlike tableaux of negligee-clad vampiresses for scenes of outrageous violence, Rollin finally earned the respect of horror-philes that had so long eluded him.

Night of the Hunted (1980) is another departure for Rollin -- a Cronenbergian tale about an amnesiac woman held prisoner in an antiseptic high-rise. In recent years, Night of the Hunted has become embraced by Rollin's admirers as his most sophisticated film, thanks in large part to a mesmerizing performance by Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination).

SHE CAT and FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING coming to DVD soon!

SHE CAT scratches and prowls!

Dr. Cat Kagami was hoping to leave her torrid past behind, but a failed assassination attempt has now put her square in the crosshairs of a team of brutal killers. Now no one is safe, including her lesbian co-worker and a mysterious woman with a terrible secret that could bring down an entire Japanese company. Cat must take the law into her own hands and enact her own special kind of revenge!

She Cat, directed by Shingo Yamashiro, is not only one of the more intricately plotted features in the Nikkatsu Erotic Films Collection, but it's also one of the longest and sexiest entries. Expert direction, the amazingly ample assets of lead actress Ai Saotome, steamy lesbian shower-sex scenes and an action-packed gun fight finale make this film a must see for all Japanese erotic film fans!

In FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING, a moonlight skinny-dipping session between two carefree high schoolers leads to a young boy being accused of a violent assault on his female classmate. After throwing a teacher to the ground, he stomps out of the school gates and spends his summer break roaming a beachside town. Falling down a rabbit hole into a dark, oppressive world of sex and violence, he is taken in by a bar-owner and his libidinous mistress. Meanwhile, the teacher he assaulted hunkers down in a rented villa in the same coastal resort, awaiting a secret tryst with her married lover. What happens when student and teacher meet again?

A moody and dramatic from, with shocking scenes of sex and violence, FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING is deftly directed by one of the strongest of the final wave of Nikkatsu erotic film helmers, Junichi Suzuki.

Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the home video debut of Robert Flaxman and Daniel Goldman’s portrait of regional filmmaking gone awry.

In the winter of 1974, a naive independent filmmaker based in Chicago found funding to make his first feature, to be titled “The Last Affair.” The one stipulation mandated by his financial bakers was that the movie needed to include hardcore sex scenes. A LABOR OF LOVE documents the ensuing heart felt and earnest attempt to create an X rated movie. Between struggles with the cast and problems with crew and locations, the production forges on in a manner NBC News described as “A true human comedy” and Hadrian Belove of Cinefamily acclaimed as “a lost vérité masterpiece … a movie-about-movies documentary classic.”

Quentin Tarantino

Kino Lorber is proud to announce the Blu-ray release of two cult films on its Jezebel label: the sexy British superspy comedy Zeta One, a film by Michael Cort that blends sex comedy with sci-fi and fantasy; and Schoolgirl Hitchhikers, a film by Jean Rollin that shows the filmmaker, best known for his horror films, working in a different genre with this erotic drama about two lovers traveling across the country who are attacked by thieves.

Each film comes to Blu-ray on March 19th, with individual SRPs of $24.95 each. Both are mastered in HD from the original 35mm negatives. Special features for Zeta One include the original theatrical trailer and trailers of other Jezebel releases. Schoolgirl Hitchhikers is presented in its original French language audio with optional English subtitles, as well as an alternate English dubbed version, and includes original trailers of other Jean Rollin films.


Zeta One
Directed by Michael Cort
Starring: Dawn Addams, James Robertson Justice, Robin Hawdon

A British superspy comedy with a Pop Art aesthetic, Zeta One is the kind of psychedelic, sexy thriller that inspired the Austin Powers series.

In this playful spoof of the James Bond films, Robin Hawdon stars as Word...James Word, a womanizing secret agent whose investigation of a criminal mastermind (James Robertson Justice) leads him to discover a race of beautiful, exotic superwomen. Further inquiry exposes the naked truth, that these women have been abducted and brainwashed by the alien, interdimensional goddess Zeta (Dawn Addams).
UK / 1969 / Color / 85 minutes / 1.66:1 / in English / Rated R

Zeta One
Director: Michael Cort
Genre: Sex Comedy
SRP (Blu-ray): $24.95

Schoolgirl Hitchhikers
Director: Jean Rollin
Starring: Gilda Arancio, Joëlle Coeur, Marie Hélène Règne

Best known for his erotic horror films, such as The Rape of the Vampire, Lips of Blood, and The Living Dead Girl, French filmmaker Jean Rollin frequently indulged in the softcore (and occasionally hardcore) sex film. Among the more personal of these films is Schoolgirl Hitchhikers (Jeunes filles impudiques), which reflects many of the themes and fascinations that run through his esoteric body of work.

Joelle Coeur (Rollin's The Demoniacs) and Gilda Arancio star as a pair of lovers enjoying a blissful cross-country hike. But the carefree erotic film turns suddenly dark when the women are set upon by a band of thieves who think they have stolen their loot, and use sadistic means to force a confession.

IT'S HELL ON EARTH AND ONLY A HALF-MAN, HALF-CYBORG CAN DEFEAT THE FORCES OF HADES AND SAVE HUMANITY

MANBORG

The Instant Cult Favorite From Upcoming Auteur Steven Kostanski Will Thrill Sci-Fi and Action Fans When It Comes To the U.S. From Dark Sky Films, April 30, 2013

"Works first and foremost by being genuinely, legitimately funny."
- Matt Looker, TheShiznit.co.uk

"What sets MANBORG apart and really makes it worth watching is the craftsmanship." - Josh Hurtado, Twitchfilm.com


The forces of Hell have risen to the surface of the Earth to wreak unspeakable havoc on humanity. And it will take a real superhuman to save the world. Or at least Manborg - a spectacular creature of the future and the hero of MANBORG, the cult favorite sci-fi/fantasy homage coming to select theaters and DVD on April 30, 2013, from Dark Sky Films.

The armies of hell have taken over the Earth, and all that stands in the way of the villainous Count Draculon and humanity's total extinction is a motley crew of misfits led by the mighty Manborg: a warrior who's half-man, half-machine, but all hero.

Once a young soldier killed during the first war against hell, Manborg (Matthew Kennedy, Lazer Ghosts 2) reawakens in the future, rebuilt as a walking weapon and mankind's last hope. Struggling to learn the secret of his origins, Manborg unwittingly befriends a post-apocalyptic Australian punker (Conor Sweeney, Heart of Karl), a knife-wielding vixen (Meredith Sweeney, Father's Day) and a kung fu master (dubbed by Kyle Herbert of DRAGON BALL Z, STREET FIGHTER) before finally squaring off against Count Draculon (Adam Brooks, Father's Day) in a desperate and bloody bid to take back the Earth.



This campy, comedic action flick, which Variety called "enjoyably ridiculous," is also an affectionate and clever tribute to fan favorite '80s films and videogames like The Terminator, RoboCop and Mortal Kombat.

Peter Howell of the Toronto Star called it "an energizing and cheesy homage to and parody of 1980s sci-fi horror action movies. ... It's also a marvel of DIY makeup, costuming and special effects." Matt Looker of website The Shiznit called it "perfect parody."

MANBORG is a tour de force for writer-director-editor-makeup artist Steven Kostanski, whose credits include the horror hit Silent Hill and Guillermo del Toro's forthcoming sci-fi adventure Pacific Rim. This lo-fi sci-fi epic from infamous filmmaking collective Astron-6 (Father's Day) was met with an uproariously enthusiastic reception from audiences. Executive produced by TIFF Midnight Madness guru Colin Geddes (Ultra 8 Pictures) and Toronto After Dark's Peter Kupowsky,MANBORG celebrated its world premiere at Austin's 2011 Fantastic Fest, and also impressed fans at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival, Fantasia, and has played more than 30 major film festivals worldwide including Whistler, Lund in Sweden, Boston Underground, U.K. Sci-Fi, and Neuchatel in Switzerland.

Severin Films Releases THE MANSON FAMILY!

Jim VanBebber’s Controversial Masterpiece Gets Blu-Ray Treatment, Theatrical Dates & New Poster.

Special Edition Of Underground Epic Will Include HD Transfer, VanBebber’s New GATOR GREEN Short & Other Exclusive Extras!

Severin Films announces the May 7th Blu-ray debut of Jim VanBebber’s legendary, award-winning indie THE MANSON FAMILY on the 10th anniversary of its original release. US theatrical dates in 20 major cities are scheduled through March and April and new poster artwork has been created by artist Stephen Romano for the occasion. VanBebber’s highly anticipated new short GATOR GREEN will accompany many of the screenings and will also be included in the extras-packed Special Edition Blu-Ray release.

The theatrical run launches at Landmark Theatres locations in Denver and San Francisco on March 22nd and will continue through April taking in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston and many more (see below for a partial list of engagements, with more to be announced in the coming weeks).

THE MANSON FAMILY delivers an uncompromising, brutal vision of the collapse of the “Love Generation.” On a ranch outside of LA the hippie dream is perverting into something evil. What was once an oasis of free love and acid trips has become ground zero for a madman’s paranoid visions. An average group of kids, the "Family", become engulfed in a delusional world where torment and slaughter is considered the path to righteousness. The Manson Family is a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unifies the misguided group, and at the direction of their leader, ends in a brutal spree leaving seven people dead in 48 hours. Now re-mastered in stunning HD for the first time ever in America.

Extras include an all-new Director’s commentary, the brand new short GATOR GREEN, the uncut version of the previously censored, feature length documentary THE VANBEBBER FAMILY on the film’s near-mythic production, and much more.
