    Arrow Films to release Day of Anger, Blind Woman's Curse, and Mark of the Devil

    Well Day of Anger is one of the most thorough presentations of a Euro-cult film I have ever seen. Including both versions of the film, full English and Italian audio with English subs, a stunning HD print and over an hour of extra features. This one is a must-have for any genre collectors...

    The Spaghetti Western

    I watched these films on DVD a few years back and wrote a short feature on them - The Karl May Westerns. Would love to see them on Blu-ray, is there a list of which titles include English audio/subtitle options - I remember some of the German DVDs advertised English options but did not include...

    the odd angry shot

    A very good little film, the British disc has been out for a while, I reviewed it a while back - [b]Odd Angry Shot review. I wonder if the audio commentary is new or ported over from the R4 release.

    Great looking Euro-sleaze from Severin

    Not reviewed a Severin title in some time, their new Intervision imprint however is certainly releasing some interesting projects, including - released tomorrow - a low budget, shot-on-video German gorefest from the early 1990s - Burning Moon.

    International Odeon Entertainment - DVD distributor

    Good news, these two are pretty rubbish but have been hard to get hold of on DVD and selling for silly marketplace prices.

    Trailers Ruin Movies

    Best news story of the year. On the earlier topic of this thread, if you think modern trailers are bad, try watching some Italian trailers from the '60s and '70s, many of them would give away huge chunks of the film - I watched a Spaghetti Western last week and later watched the trailer which...

    Scorpion Releasing (new company that offers rare/obscure/campy flicks)

    I think the DVD (presumably the Swedish one) is taken from that VHS, one of the better VHS transfers out there but still obviously cropped. An excellent film and much deserving of a new print. Perhaps we will have to wait for someone to make a new MacLean film, but he seems to have disappeared...

    Melancholia (2011)

    For anyone unfamiliar with the Danish director's work - this is not a sci-fi or disaster film. I saw it yesterday in the cinema and it was an amazing experience, but like most of his projects it is deliberately outside of the normal genre categories. A harsh portrayal of a woman with depression...

    Drive - quick review

    A superb art-house take on the crime movie. Long languorous driving scenes with beautiful long-lensed camera work, combined with a kick-in-the-teeth storyline (the ending was superb). Obviously not one for audiences wanting a Hugh Jackman car-porn action flick (which this was originally going to...

    Great looking Euro-sleaze from Severin

    Rather less sleazy, but probably the best film I have seen for quite a while, this cyberpunk horror is a superb production from film-maker Richard Stanley (Dust Devil) who manages to turn what really should be a short film into a feature production that looks amazing. Released as a two-disc...

    Great looking Euro-sleaze from Severin

    Severin have recently released this great pair of Roger Corman's classic 1980s high-school raunchy comedies, Screwballs and Loose Screws. The DVD print, particularly of the first film, is not the best quality, but they are packed with extra features including deleted scenes and audio commentaries.

    MGM's MIDNITE MOVIES (A Comprehensive List Of All Movies Midnite)

    Well compiled list. I really loved this series and it is a real pity that the people in charge when Sony took over simply didn't realise what they were working with, hence the bizarre change of logo and the releasing of completely unrelated films. The film that really should have been on...

    Great looking Euro-sleaze from Severin

    Just a heads-up. I have completed a complete updating of all my Severin Black Emanuelle reviews as part of a new Laura Gemser biography and a Black Emanuelle series guide, which also covers the other films from the series, both official and unofficial, available on DVD.
