The Last Hunter – Antonio Margheriti (Treasured Films)

Film Treasures is an invaluable UK based site and resource allowing film collectors to order imports directly from here without having to worry about excruciating long waits, customs issues and the likes from your favourite labels like Severin, Unearthed and… Continue Reading →

Orchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin – Dima Ballin & Kat Ellinger (Arrow)

I vaguely remember my first encounter with the fantastique world of French director Jean Rollin (1938-2010) being incomprehensibly trimmed, grainy, bootleg VHS tapes of Zombie Lake (1981) and The Living Dead Girl (1982). Wading green zombies and toxic bloodless vampires… Continue Reading →

The Scary Of Sixty-First – Dasha Nekrasova (Fractured Visions)

The premise of this new fright-flick might be a well-worn one but it takes a bit of a gamble by making its theme both contemporary and highly contentious. On the one hand we have an apartment in New York which… Continue Reading →

Ebola Syndrome – Herman Yau (Vinegar Syndrome / 88 Films)

It’s been an interesting week on the Blu-ray announcement front. Well-done to 88 Films for pulling off the miraculous and somehow getting Ebola Syndrome through the BBFC, which has to be one of the most unexpected releases EVER passed by… Continue Reading →

Luz: The Flower Of Evil – Juan Diego Escobar Alzate (Fractured Visions)

Prepare to be transported to another world, one portrayed by a feast of visual imagery. We are in a verdant and lush paradise in the Colombian mountains. There are forested regions and stunning dioramas including a magnificent waterfall flowing into… Continue Reading →

Lake Mungo – Joel Anderson (Second Sight)

Make no mistake the announcement of Lake Mungo getting the Second Sight treatment was met by a definite rallying cry around online movie groups with everyone who had seen it before stating what an excellent film it was. Critics had… Continue Reading →

Raw – Julia Ducournau (Second Sight)

I remember this French / Belgian film getting released with quite a buzz about it and not without a slight hint of controversy. I immediately picked up the Blu Ray via Universal pictures and equally enjoyed and found myself nauseated… Continue Reading →

Benny Loves You – Karl Holt (Darkline Entertainment)

Jack (played by director Karl Holt) is a pretty sad man-child but a harmless type. He is also an undeniably talented toy designer who hits a really hard time. His parents with whom he lived in a large unaffordable house… Continue Reading →

Silent Action – Sergio Martino (Fractured Visions)

And here we have a brand-new film company Fractured Visions, a good name boding well for future releases. It’s a bit like the wild west out there with different “boutique labels” (yeah I hate that phrase) all scrabbling to get… Continue Reading →

VHS Forever? Psychotronic People – Mark Williams & Darren J Perry (Vipco)

It saddens me that people today wouldn’t know the difference between a VHS and Betamax cassette if it hit them square between the eyes. What a time they missed and the joy of collecting films by this clunky medium is… Continue Reading →

Walkabout – Nicolas Roeg (Second Sight Films)

Ah what a film to watch on a sweltering day, the heat floods off the screen and the arid imagery is enough to leave you gasping whatever the weather. Walkabout is quite simply a classic and one of many from… Continue Reading →

Flavia The Heretic – Gianfranco Mingozzi (Shameless Screen Entertainment)

No doubt everyone has been consuming a vast amount of films during lockdown and it has not hampered the amount of releases available even if there have been no physical shops open to purchase them from. Of everything I have… Continue Reading →
