Written Review by MrParka 
           ​Severin Films brings the legendary Video Nasty “Anthropophagus” to Blu-Ray stateside for the first time. Directed and shot by Italian Maestro Joe D'Amato the film also known as “The Grim Reaper” is a laborious, violent slasher with two of the most iconic gore scenes in Italian cinema history.
A group of tourists decide to stop on a beautiful Greek island. Unbeknownst to them, one of the remaining inhabitants is a towering, disfigured, gut munching monster. As the group wanders the rainy island they are picked off and eaten in increasingly grotesque ways until the film reaches its final intestine-eating climax.
“Anthropophagus” is a fairly slow burn gore fest and it’s made a reputation on that, but it has a little more to offer. The Director was a renowned DP and did double duties on this film. The locations are all shot fantastically, helping the gloomy and rainy setting create thick atmosphere. The handheld shots work well to create suspense. Some of the best camera work involves the confused survivors looking for one of their party; they move away past the middle ground and as they walk out of focus, the camera shifts to show the missing person’s feet being dragged out of frame. Some other stellar camera work that drives the atmosphere home is a candle lit scene where our protagonist searches the desolate mansion on the island. The score is reminisce at times of another Italian oddity, “Burial Ground,” adding a little bit of that nightmare logic feel we all love to state that these films are loaded with.  
Genre fans will recognize a few familiar faces from some other Video Nasties including Tisa Farrow (Zombie), George Eastman (Absurd) also the film’s writer, and Zora Kerova (Cannibal Ferox) as a tarot card enthusiast. The cast does fine although the dubbing is a little comical at times. Eastman is the standout with his rotting face and bulging eyes. Besides the aforementioned, the characters are rather plain and set up to die in horrible deaths with the pregnant wife destined to receive the worst. The gore is effective even if it was accomplished mostly by a trip to the butcher shop. A skinned rabbit doubles as a fetus in one of the film’s most grueling scenes and real guts are featured and even munched on. “Anthropophagus” is guilty of possibility being a little too slow and a little too cheap, but it does accomplish a little more than the cover would suggest; it has atmosphere and with that atmosphere comes a sense of dread. 
“Anthropophagus” looks better than ever and includes both the Italian language and English options. The features on the disc include interviews with George Eastman (Luigi Montefiori), actor Saverio Vallone, FX Artist Pietro Tenoglio, Editor Bruno Micheli, and Actress Zora Kerova. The features in themselves paint a picture of the film’s director Aristide Massaccesi aka Joe D'Amato, the picture is one of a funny and hardworking man who everyone seemed to admire and enjoy being around. The features are a wonderful addition to the release as some of these film makers aren’t often interviewed and we as fans may never get to hear from them again. 

Joe D’Amato’s Gore Classic Now Uncut In 2K For The First Time In America!

It has been called “seriously creepy” (CoolAssCinema.com), “insanely violent” (Nerdist.com) and “truly repulsive” (DVD Talk). It was seized by UK authorities as a ‘Video Nasty’ and accused of being an actual snuff film. Yet even by ‘80s Italian gore-spewing standards, this grueling shocker from sex & sleaze maestro Joe D’Amato (BEYOND THE DARKNESS) still stands as perhaps the most controversial – and extreme – spaghetti splatter epic of them all. Tisa Farrow (ZOMBIE), Zora Kerova (CANNIBAL FEROX) and co-writer/producer George Eastman (STAGE FRIGHT, 1990: BRONX WARRIORS) star in this depraved daddy of cannibal carnage from “Italy’s King of Trash Sinema” (Horrorpedia.com), now featuring a 2k scan from the original 16mm negative – including two of the most gut-retching scenes in horror history – and spurting with all-new Special Features.

Special Features:

Don’t Fear The Man-Eater: Interview with Writer/Star Luigi Montefiori a.k.a. George Eastman
The Man Who Killed The Anthropophagus: Interview with Actor Saverio Vallone
Cannibal Frenzy: Interview with FX Artist Pietro Tenoglio

Written Review by MrParka
        Can’t have one without the other, Severin Films is releasing “Absurd,” the spiritual sequel to “Anthropophagus.” Jack of all trades Joe D'Amato returns to direct and is again accompanied by George Eastman, writing and starring as the film’s baddie. 
“Absurd” opens up with the hulking Eastman running in fear from a soon to be found out priest. Eastman is disemboweled trying to hop a large gate and lands himself in emergency surgery. To the hospital staff’s surprise the large man is not only going to pull through, but he is healing at an exceptional rate. Before you can say “Halloween” cash in, Eastman has killed the nurse with a power drill and is out and about causing bloodshed around the town. Before long our killer has his eyes on a babysitter and a pair of kids, one of which is paralyzed. It is up to a grouchy cop and a priest with a secret to take out the regenerative madman for good. 
“Absurd” is a fairly straight forward standard slasher with some gratuitous kills and some decent suspense. Genre fans will be happy to see Annie Belle (House on the Edge of the Park) as a part time nurse /babysitter who manages to fight back even after being burnt in an oven!  The kills in the film rotate from gory to strangulation, when they are shown they garner sympathy as they are focused on in detail. The film brings in a strange subplot involving the kid’s father and the guilt he has from a hit and run that occurred earlier, actually involving the man who later attacks his family. It is sort of amusing to think if he did stop he would have been killed at that point in the film, but instead he is rewarded for doing the wrong thing. Like so many other Italian films that attempt to feel more American, “Absurd” is no different. During the film’s entirety the super bowl is taking place; and like any good “American,” everyone meets up in nice suits and watches the game while eating spaghetti. The final showdown is set up well where our thought to be paraplegic must overcome her disorder and walk to save her life and her brothers. “Absurd,” in short, is a solid “Halloween” cash in with a surprising lack of nudity and some brutal kills. 
Severin Films has done a great job on making “Absurd” look just that. Included on the disc is an alternative cut of the film and some interviews with Actor / Writer / Co-Producer Luigi Montefiore, Filmmaker/Extra Michele Soavi, and an archival interview with Joe D'Amato. The interviews on the discs shed some light on the director, similar to the extras on “Anthropophagus.” Eastman seems to show a bit of sadness as well as disapproval of the way D'Amato’s career turned out. Soavi talks about working with the maestro as a young aspiring film maker and how D’Amato gave him his first real shot by producing his cult film “Stagefright.” It’s always of course a treat to see Joe D’Amato talk himself, he is very candid and friendly, the interview brings the biggest insight on Mr. D’Amato and the most poignant part was from the camel’s mouth himself. I’m not a business man, I’m a filmmaker.  I’m a DP. I am not rich. That sentiment is all I ever needed to hear to respect Mr. D’Amato. 
R.I.P.

Toss away those inferior bootlegs and experience sleaze maestro Joe D’Amato’s infamous follow-up to ANTHROPOPHAGOUS like never before: Borrowing heavily from HALLOWEEN, D’Amato unleashes gut-spewing Greek boogeyman (screenwriter George Eastman) into suburban America for a “gruesome as hell” (CinemasFringes.com) and “incredibly sadistic” (ASlashAbove.com) saga of doomed nurses, butchered babysitters, bio-chemical clergy and some of the most insane splatter scenes in Italian gorehound history. Edmund Purdom (FRANKENSTEIN’S CASTLE OF FREAKS, PIECES) and Annie Belle (HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK, LAURE) co-star in this “violence-soaked bloodbath” (Hysteria Lives) and former ‘Video Nasty’ – also known as THE GRIM REAPER 2, ZOMBIE 6, HORRIBLE and MONSTER HUNTER – now featuring a 2k scan from the original negative and gushing with all-new Special Features.

A group of friends have decided to repair and renovate an old house located in the middle of nowhere in the hope of turning it into their ‘cool’ crash pad. But shortly after arriving, a strange and seemingly senile old woman is found to be lurking around the premises. Uncertain of her intentions, the group of trendy homesteaders go about their business but soon find themselves up against a very unexpected geriatric evil, hell-bent on keeping them as permanent residents in ‘her’ house, dispatching them in a series of creatively gruesome ways. But to make matters even worse, shortly after meeting their demise, their mutilated corpses return from the dead, determined to help their elderly assassin and her fiendish daughter finish off the others…

Absurdly gory and filled with top-notch kills, courtesy of effects wizards Ed French and Bruce Spaulding Fuller, James Riffel’s cynical blend of slasher and zombie film (and late 80s late-night cable classic), THE HOUSE ON TOMBSTONE HILL (aka THE DEAD COME HOME and DEAD DUDES IN THE HOUSE), makes its Blu-ray debut from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored from its original camera negative and looking better than you ever thought possible.

​

In 1971, Frederick Forsythe shot to bestseller status with his debut novel, The Day of the Jackal - taut, utterly plausible, almost documentarian in its realism and attention to detail. Two years later, director Fred Zinnemann (High Noon) turned a gripping novel into a nail-biting cinematic experience. August 1962: the latest attempt on the life of French President Charles de Gaulle by the far-right paramilitary organization, the OAS, ends in chaos, with its architect-in-chief dead at the hands of a firing squad. Demoralized and on the verge of bankruptcy, the OAS leaders meet in secret to plan their next move. In a last desperate attempt to eliminate de Gaulle, they opt to employ the services of a hired assassin from outside the fold. Enter the Jackal (Edward Fox, Gandhi): charismatic, calculating, cold as ice. As the Jackal closes in on his target, a race against the clock ensues to identify and put a stop to a killer whose identity, whereabouts and modus operandi are completely unknown. Co-starring a plethora of talent from both sides of the Channel, including Michael Lonsdale (Munich), Derek Jacobi (The Odessa File) and Cyril Cusack (1984) and featuring striking cinematography by Jean Tournier (Moonraker), The Day of the Jackal remains one of the greatest political thrillers of all time.

A Halloween-set horror anthology that will leave you speechless!
Videonomicon asks you to take off your mask, pick up that candy, and get ready for a Halloween-themed horror anthology unlike anything you've seen before. After stumbling upon the graves of three murdered trick or treaters, a small town paperboy discovers a series of handwritten horror stories tacked to the children's headstones. Penned by a deranged pulp author driven mad by his craft, the stories chronicle grisly tales of Halloween rites, rituals, and traditions. Absent of dialogue and heavy on atmosphere, 3 DEAD TRICK OR TREATERS is an engrossing visual feast that turns the genre on its head and offers terror and suspense amongst the blood and candy corn! Hot off its success on the international film festival circuit and independent worldwide theatrical tour Videonomicon brings you this new horror hit in a limited edition Blu-ray/DVD combo featuring a wealth of special features.

​A former Marine and ex-FBI agent, Joe has seen one too many crime scenes and known too much trauma, and not just in his professional life. Solitary and haunted, he prefers to be invisible. He doesn't allow himself friends or lovers and makes a living rescuing young girls from the deadly clutches of the sex trade. But when a high-ranking New York politician hires him to extricate his teenage daughter from a Manhattan brothel, Joe uncovers a web of corruption that even he may not be able to unravel. When the men on his trail take the only person left in the world who matters to him, he forsakes his pledge to do no harm. If anyone can kill his way to the truth, it's Joe.

HIS SWORD MADE HIM A HERO... HIS COURAGE MADE HIM A LEGEND.
Zatôichi is a 19th century blind nomad who makes his living as a gambler and masseur. However, behind this humble facade, he is a master swordsman gifted with a lightning-fast draw and breathtaking precision. While wandering, Zatôichi discovers a remote mountain village at the mercy of Ginzo, a ruthless gang-leader. Ginzo disposes of anyone who gets in his way, especially after hiring the mighty samurai ronin, Hattori, as a bodyguard. After a raucous night of gambling in town, Zatôichi encounters a pair of geishas--as dangerous as they are beautiful--who've come to avenge their parents' murder. As the paths of these and other colorful characters intertwine, Ginzo's henchmen are soon after Zatôichi. With his legendary cane sword at his side, the stage is set for a riveting showdown.

​Still traumatised by the loss of her husband, well-meaning social worker Ann Gentry (Anjanette Comer, The Loved One) throws herself into her latest assignment: the case of "Baby", a 21-year-old man with the mind of an infant - who crawls, cries and has yet to make it out of nappies. But Baby's family - the tyrannical "Mama" Wadsworth (Ruth Roman, Strangers on a Train) and her two demented daughters - aren't the only ones with a warped conception of familial relations, and the full horror only begins when Ann sets her sights on liberating the drooling man-child... and in so doing unleashes the wrath of the Wadsworth women.

45 years after its original release, this film remains one of the most bizarre horror movies ever committed to celluloid. Directed by Ted Post (Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Magnum Force) and co-starring Marianna Hill (Blood Beach, Messiah of Evil), The Baby is a twisted, psychedelic nightmare of suburban depravity.

“The Baby” Blu-Ray – https://mvdshop.com/products/baby-the-blu-ray

​Cult director Teruo Ishii (Shogun's Joy of Torture, Blind Woman's Curse) presents a nightmarish, hallucinogenic tale drawn from the feverish pen of Japan's celebrated pioneer ofero-guro ("erotic grotesque") literature, Edogawa Rampo. Medical student Hirosuke Hitomi slips out of the asylum in which he has been wrongfully confined and stealthily assumes the identity of a recently deceased nobleman with whom he bears an uncanny resemblance. Hirosuke eases his way into the nobleman's household and his dead double's marital bed. But as long-repressed memories begin to bubble to the surface, he soon finds himself drawn to a remote isle where he is confronted by a mad scientist and his malformed men, and discovers the key that will unlock some long-suppressed mysteries of his own. A dark labyrinth of the monstrous and perverse that fuses mystery and horror while incorporating motifs from a myriad of Rampo's tales, Horrors of Malformed Men boasts astonishing carnivalesque art design and haunting performances. Withdrawn from cinemas by its own studio after its original scandalous release nearly fifty years ago, the film is among the very best screen interpretations of the author's macabre brand of horror-fantasy fiction, and a unique oddity of Japanese cult cinema.

“Horrors of Malformed Men” Blu-Ray – https://mvdshop.com/products/horrors-of-malformed-men-blu-ray
​

​Throughout the late 1960s and into the 70s, the Italian giallo movement transported viewers to the far corners of the globe, from swinging San Francisco to the Soviet-occupied Prague. Only one, however, brought the genre's unique brand of bloody mayhem as far as Australia: director Flavio Mogherini (Delitto passionale)'s tragic and poetic The Pyjama Girl Case. The body of a young woman is found on the beach, shot in the head, burned to hide her identity and dressed in distinctive yellow pyjamas. With the Sydney police stumped, former Inspector Timpson (Ray Milland, Dial M for Murder) comes out of retirement to crack the case. Treading where the "real" detectives can't, Timpson doggedly pieces together the sad story of Dutch immigrant Glenda Blythe (Dalila Di Lazzaro, Phenomena) and the unhappy chain of events which led to her grisly demise. Inspired by the real-life case which baffled the Australian police and continues to spark controversy and unanswered questions to this day, The Pyjama Girl Case is a uniquely haunting latter-day giallo from the tail end of the genre's boom period, co-starring Michele Placido (director of Romanzo Criminale) and Howard Ross (The New York Ripper), and featuring a memorably melancholic score by veteran composer Riz Ortolani (Don't Torture a Duckling).

​Meet the Bayou's baddest good ol' boy! Burt Reynolds (Sam Whiskey) returns as Gator McKlusky, the moonshine-running king of the Bayou, in this high-octane sequel to White Lightning. Filled with super-charged adventure and double-barreled action - and co-starring Lauren Hutton (American Gigolo) as a sexy TV reporter - Gator is a fast and furious ride you won't want to miss! The Feds want Gator. Not for moonshining, but to go undercover to expose Bama McCall (Jerry Reed, Smokey and the Bandit), Gator's boyhood pal who is now a local crime boss. Gator is reluctant at first, but once he discovers Bama is involved in extortion, prostitution... and murder, the suspense builds to an explosive climax, as old friends become deadly enemies. Directed by Burt Reynolds (Sharkys Machine) with a script by William W. Norton (The Scalphunters).

When a clan of drunken goons get off scot-free after senselessly killing a young trucker’s family, the trucker, Joey Rosso (Don Michael Paul, Robot Wars), takes matters into his own hands by building the ultimate monster truck to even the score. Spitting flames, armed with a giant drill, his awesome rig is unstoppable as Joey pursues the clan leader Tiny Doyle (Ned Beatty, White Lightning) and his murderous offspring. He tracks down the clan, one by one, crashing cars, flattening trucks, demolishing buildings and destroying anything or anyone that gets in his way. Rolling Vengeance is heavyweight action, a powerful story of twisted emotion and mangled metal, the telling of which costs the lives of no less than 65 vehicles. Steven Hilliard Stern (The Park is Mine) directed this action-packed revenge yarn with a screenplay by Michael Thomas Montgomery (Eye of the Tiger) and co-starring Lawrence Dane (Scanners). “Compelling echoes of Rocky and Death Wish” - Variety
