Sexually Yours by Eric Cotenas (2nd July 2025)

In sexually-liberated seventies France, Gerard Casanova (Sexual Chronicles of a French Family's Yan Brian) prefers the women to come to him for seduction, so he is no gigolo but a self-proclaimed "call boy" (travel costs extra). He has some regulars like the dominatrix Baroness Desieux (Dear Inspector's Jacqueline Doyen) and her masochistic butler (Cop or Hood's Philippe Castelli), Olga who only makes love in the dark and whose face he has never seen, fun-loving Tina (Phantom of Liberty's Jenny Astruc), and widow Alice (Naked Sex's ...


Storm Warning by James-Masaki Ryan (1st July 2025)

"Storm Warning" (2007) Rob (played by Robert Taylor) decides to take his wife Pia (played by Nadia Farès) on a short trip by motorboat for fishing and sailing. But during their trip through the mangroves, a storm comes in and they are forced to disembark on a nearby island. They find an old decrepit house and decide to enter to take shelter and find a phone for help. They are confronted by brothers Brett (played by Mathew Wilkinson) and Jimmy (played by David Lyons) who are concerned about the couple breaking into their home. The brothers are less than respectful toward the stranded couple as they taunt and harass them constantly, but there is a much bigger issue at home. They do not want their father Poppy (played by John Brumpton) getting involved, as he is not going to tolerate the intrusion and the mess that was caused… Director Jamie Blanks studied film and wo...


The Magnificent Chang Cheh: The Magnificent Trio/Magnificent Wanderers by Eric Cotenas (30th June 2025)

"One of the Shaw Brothers Studio’s most prolific directors, Chang Cheh – or the “Godfather of Hong Kong Cinema” – is the filmmaker behind Five Deadly Venoms, Chinatown Kid and Boxer Rebellion. Collected here are two films by this maestro of martial arts cinema that showcase his considerable talents at both ends of his career: The Magnificent Trio, produced when wuxia films ruled the Hong Kong box office in the mid-1960s, and Magnificent Wanderers, made at the height of the kung fu craze at the end of the 1970s." The Magnificent Trio: Having left the border war against the Xings lead by his uncle, Lu Fang (Master of the Flying Guillotine's Jimmy Wang Yu) stumbles upon a trio of men abducting a young woman. Lu springs to her rescue until the elder man Gao Bao-shi (Five Fingers of Death's ...

Chungking Express: The Criterion Collection by Noor Razzak (30th June 2025)

Wong Kar-Wai’s "Chungking Express" is a film of aching transience and restless yearning, one that captures urban alienation and romantic longing through a lens that is as impressionistic as it is emotionally sincere. Released in 1994, during the uncertain pre-handover years in Hong Kong, the film became an emblem of both its time and its director’s unique cinematic language—fragmented, deeply stylized, and hauntingly human. Divided into two loosely connected stories, "Chungking Express" eschews traditional narrative structure in favor of mood, texture, and rhythm. The first half follows a lovelorn cop, He Zhiwu, Cop 223 (Takeshi Kaneshiro), who obsessively consumes canned pineapples with expiration dates that coincide with his emotional deadlines. He crosses paths with a mysterious drug smuggler (Brigitte Lin, in a noir-soaked trench coat and blonde wig), whose stoic detachment mirrors his own emotional vacancy. The second half shifts focus to Cop 663 (Tony Leung), who is quietly unraveling after a breakup, and the quirky snack b...


Sex and Satan Double Feature: Sex and Satan/Twice is Not Enough by Eric Cotenas (29th June 2025)

"A devilishly erotic adult double-feature that contains enough smut to send unclean souls straight to hell!" Young reporter Janice Lightning (Blood Shack's Carolyn Brandt) accompanies sexorcist/demonologist Professor Ernest Von Kleinsmidt (Psyched by the 4D Witch's Kelly Guthrie) on an expedition to The Marsh outside the city where once dwelled a coven of sex-crazed Satan worshippers. They discover a parchment which Ernest takes home to translate. Reciting the words aloud, he unknowingly wakes hooded cultist Volta (Wayne Williams) who offers the gift of true pleasure to Janice's hooker roommate Diana (Lilly Lamarr), taking sexual possession of her in order to deliver souls to the devil from her clients (along with pimp Richard Zufger). Wh...


The Chelsea Detective: Series 3 by Eric Cotenas (29th June 2025)

When the discover of an early-2000s pop star's (Martha Kirby) body in her bathtub pumped full of drugs proves suspicious, it puts the lie to the notion that Everybody Loves Chloe, sending Max and company delving into her relationships with her mother (London Has Fallen's Penny Downie), former producer (Trigger Point's Nabil Elouahabi), supposedly ex-junkie roommate (Poppy Gilbert), her too-solicitous downstairs neighbor (The Hunting Party's Nitin Ganatra), and even a respected MP (The Madness of King George's Julian Wadham)...

Heretic by Noor Razzak (29th June 2025)

"Heretic" is a taut psychological horror-thriller from Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the writing duo behind "A Quiet Place" (2018) and leans into minimalist suspense and high-concept terror to deliver a chamber-piece of creeping dread. At its center is a chillingly reimagined Hugh Grant, playing against type as a charismatic yet unsettling religious recluse. The film, distributed by A24, marks another entry in the “elevated horror” trend, but it succeeds in grounding its stylized premise with nerve-fraying tension and committed performances. The story follows two young Mormon missionaries Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East), who knock on the wrong door—one belonging to a seemingly polite and inquisitive man, Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), who lures them into what appears at first to be a theological conversation, but quickly becomes a harrowing cat-and-mouse game. The setting rarely expands beyond the interior of the...


Sunset Warriors by Eric Cotenas (27th June 2025)

The Golden Triangle near the Vietnamese border is a haven for heroin production and trafficking, and the Thai government has had enough of it, hiring a group of Chinese mercenaries lead by Dr. Jin Ho-geol (The Butterfly Murders' Eddy Ko) order to destroy the operation run by General Samton (Brawl Busters' Jang Il-Shik) with the reward of securing passage to America for himself and his family. They ambush the General outside his fortress and Ho-geol and three surviving surviving mercenaries (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin's Chin Yuet-Sang, Eastern Condors' Ka Lee, and ...


Naked Sex by Eric Cotenas (27th June 2025)

José Bénazéraf's Naked Sex is an odd but not uninteresting failure as an experimental work of erotic cinema. The film opens with a science fiction element as text sets the stage noting that Alain (Sexus' Alain Tissier) relates the details of his erotic life to "Elle" – "the safe haven woman, the zero woman" – who experiences them physically and psychically through the recollections of his orgasms. Aside from one or two more cutaways, the rest of the film forgets that thread; instead intercutting his sexual past with bedroom tussling and verbal sparring with mistress Rosa (The Blood Rose's Valérie Boisgel) including his high school art teacher (Nadège Millerot), a salesgirl (Successive Slidings of Pleasure...


Nothing Underneath: Special Edition 40th Anniversary by Eric Cotenas (25th June 2025)

When Yellowstone forest ranger Bob Crane (Fever Pitch's Tom Schanley) psychically senses the mortal peril of his fashion model twin sister Jessica (Nicola Perring) halfway across the globe, he travels to Milan only to discover that she is missing. None of the models staying at the boarding house Hotel Scala have seen her and she has missed four consecutive shoots, but there is no evidence to suggest that she has met with foul play. Police commissioner Danesi (Halloween's Donald Pleasance) is, however, willing to concede that something is amiss when model Carrie (Catherine Noyes) is stabbed to death with a pair of dress shears that Bob saw in his psychic vision. With models and photographers hiding their own secrets and vices, Bob constantly hits brick walls in his investigation, with only Danish model Barbara (


Slade in Flame by James-Masaki Ryan (25th June 2025)

"Slade in Flame" (1975) Following some shenanigans by two rival rock bands leads to them being arrested by the police for their disorder. Their cell time together leads to a more positive outcome, with members joining forces to start a new band altogether. Members Stoker (played by Noddy Holder), Paul (played by Jim Lea), Barry (played by Dave Hill) and Charlie (played by Don Powell) start playing some small gigs, and are scouted by an agency run by Robert Seymour (played by Tom Conti) who is looking to make them the next big thing. The band, now named “Flame” are off on a roll with hit songs, a large tour, and going from place to place to promote their songs as well as recording follow-up tunes. But the work is relentless and pressuring, leading toward internal conflicts and rivalry from outsiders as well. British hard rock band Slade made quite an impact...


Hard Rock Zombies by Eric Cotenas (24th June 2025)

Rock band Holy Moses has just landed a gig in the township of Grand Guignol. It matters not to manager Ron (Ted Wells) that they receive a very unfriendly welcome by the town council - headed by the mayor (The Tomb's David O'Hara) and the very Southern sheriff (Scarecrows' Richard Vidan) - because they can finally get an audience with talent agent Don Matson (Alien Nation's Michael David Simms) who is stopping through. Lead singer Jesse (E.J. Curse) is unnerved by a warning from willowy teenager Cassie to stay away from the town, but his bandmates (Dr. Alien's ...


Tammy and the T-Rex by Eric Cotenas (24th June 2025)

Tammy (Wild Things' Denise Richards) is a pretty and popular high school cheerleader, but all is not as it seems. Although she should have the world at her feet, she is the victim of abuse from possessive ex-boyfriend Billy (Timemaster's George Pilgrim) that prevents her from even imagining happiness with handsome and kind Michael (Joyride's Paul Walker) in spite of encouragement from flamingly gay best friend Byron (Street Knight's Theo Forsett). When Tammy one night asks Michael to come over and keep her company, jealous Wendy (Leprechaun 2's ...


Long Kiss Goodnight (The) (Blu-ray 4K) by Paul Lewis (24th June 2025)

The Long Kiss Goodnight (Renny Harlin, 1996) Looking back, The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) represents a fascinating convergence of New Hollywood talent. Shane Black’s script was written after the writer (and sometime actor; later director) had received praise from both critics and audiences for his handling of action motifs and noir-tinged referential dialogue with the successes of Lethal Weapon (1987) and Predator (1987). Positive reception to those films led to Black being awarded a record $1.75 million for his spec script for Tony Scott’s The Last Boy Scout (1991). Frustratingly for both Scott and Black, the finished picture bore little resemblance to Black’s script; both writer and director denounced the film after its release, claiming that producer Joel Silver had interfered with the material. Black then drastically rewrote Zak Penn and Adam Leff’s script for John McTiernan’s The Last Action Hero (1993), a project for which Black earned a cool $1 million. Black then became Hollywood’s highest p...


The French Love by Eric Cotenas (21st June 2025)

After a holiday in France, reporter Bryan (Hermann Ryan) puts his wife and two daughters on a plane back home and remains to cover the Paris Peace Accords. He takes advantage of the use of his local boss' Rolls Royce to pick up a pair of hitchhiking stewardesses Corinne (Love Brides of the Blood Mummy's Catherine Franck) and Lucille (Les demoniaques' Patricia Hermenier) who become a fixture in his life over the next few days before he finally succeeds in bedding Corrine. While Bryan is surprised by the ease with which he cheated on his wife, his life truly begins to spiral and he starts to question all of his principles when he realizes that Corinne regards him as nothing more than a passing fling. Bryan tries to open his mind to a variety of experiences with Corrine and Lucille but repression and violence seem as integral to "American love" as freedom and unbridled pleasu...


Shut Up, I Love You! by Eric Cotenas (20th June 2025)

Eager to impress erotic film actress Fanny (A Virgin Among the Living Dead's Anne Libert), Marco (Luxure's Pierre Danny) takes her along for a potential dirty weekend driving a BMW sports across the country to its new owner. When he attempts to show her the novelty of reclining seats, a handbrake malfunction careens the vehicle into a utility pole. Marco gets hold of the local Mercedes dealership and garage and is surprised to discover its owner is Algerian war buddy Henry (Erotic Sex Games' Henry Czarniak) who invites him and Fanny to stay the weekend while the car is being repaired. Upon arrival, Marco discovers why Henry is so pleased that he is still single because he is trying to find someone, anyone, to deflower his sixteen-year-old daughter Sylvie (...


Armour of God II: Operation Condor by Eric Cotenas (19th June 2025)

Just settling in for a fishing trip vacation after a botched mission in the Philippines to find precious emeralds in the possession of an ancient tribe, Jackie (Police Story's Jackie Chan) – aka Condor, aka Eagle, aka Asian Eagle – is summoned to Spain by the Duke Scapio (The Pope Must Die's Bozidar Smiljanic) on behalf of the UN to discover the location of a German base in the African desert supposedly hoarding a cache of several tonnes of Gold; that is if Commander Ketterling and his team of eighteen men did not make off with it after mysteriously vanishing on the mission. The UN wants to get to the gold, which was stolen from several occupied countries, before the German government can make a claim on it. Jackie is accompanied by bookish desert guide Ada (Tiger Cage's Carol "Do Do" Cheng) who is less than ...

Murder-Rock: Dancing Death - Limited Edition by Eric Cotenas (17th June 2025)

The top dancers of the New York "Arts for Living Center" have more to worry about than a choreographer who seems to have wandered out of FAME and a chance at for a starring roll in a Broadway show when someone starts offing the competition. Everyone is a suspect from driven choreographer Candice (Zombie's Olga Karlatos) whose own dreams of stardom were shattered by an accident, womanizing school director Dick Gibson (Island of the Fishmen's Claudio Cassinelli), trainer Margie (Demons' Geretta Geretta), and the entire neurotic student body. Detective Borges (Manhattan Baby's Cosimo Cinieri) is on the case but must sift his way through a lot of infightin...

Shigetomo (Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters' Tatsuo Hananuno) and his young apprentice Yosaku (Harakiri's Akira Ishihama) hike deep into the woods in search the idea tree for his commission to carve a statue of the goddess Kannon. As night falls, the two shelter in a cabin and fall asleep around the fire. A blizzard springs up inexplicably and brings with it Yuki-onna, the Snow Woman who drains Shigetomo of his life essence, freezing him with her icy breath. She then notices Yosaku and is struck by his youth and beauty, sparing him but holding him to a promise that he will never speak of seeing her to anyone or she will find him and kill him. As Yosaku convalesces in the home of his master cared for by his widow (Rhapsody in August's Sachiko Murase), the tree that Shigetomo chose is delivered ...

While his family see him taking his brother's place in the family business interests is a move up from his "disgraceful" work teaching literature to children in the row houses, Shinzaburô is disgusted with the elitism of his family who look down on the people who work for them. On the first night of the three day Bon festival of the dead, Shinzaburô makes the chance acquaintance of the beautiful Otsoyu (Lady Snowblood's Miyoko Akaza) and her maid Oyone (...


Four Mothers by James-Masaki Ryan (14th June 2025)

"Four Mothers" (2024) Edward Brady (played by James McArdle) is an Irish writer on the verge of a big break. His young-adult novel about two young men has been gaining traction through Tiktok and he has just booked a deal with an American publisher. They are set on having Edward promote the book through podcasts and interviews as well as a book signing tour in America, but he is finding it difficult to focus his attention on the success. He is the caretaker of his mother Alma (played by Fionnula Flanagan) who suffered a stroke and lost the ability to speak, as well as having weak legs. His attention is focused on his weak yet tough mother’s well-being, but that only gets complicated as his friends Billy (played by Gordon Hickey), Colm (played by Gearoid Farrelly), and Dermot (played by Rory O’Neill) decide to drop off their mothers at Edward’s home while they selfishly take a trip to a Pride event in the Canary I...


The Black Torment by Eric Cotenas (13th June 2025)

Sir Richard Fordyke (The Power of One's John Turner) returns to Fordyke Hall with his new bride Lady Elizabeth (The Phantom of the Opera's Heather Sears) to a chilly reception from the locals after a village girl who had been raped died screaming his name.

Worse yet, the villagers have claimed to see Sir Richard on horseback at night being pursued by the specter of his first wife Anne - who supposedly committed suic...


Out of the Blue by Noor Razzak (13th June 2025)

Dennis Hopper’s "Out of the Blue" is a jagged, raw nerve of a film, an uncompromising meditation on disillusionment, generational dysfunction, and punk nihilism. Initially conceived as a conventional Canadian family drama, Hopper’s takeover of the project reimagined it into something far more radical and unsettling. The result is a powerful, if often harrowing, portrait of adolescence gone awry in a world that offers no safety net. The story centers on Cebe (Linda Manz), a teenage girl obsessed with Elvis Presley, Johnny Rotten, and the idea of escaping her broken home. Her father Don (Dennis Hopper), fresh out of prison after a drunk driving accident that killed a busload of children, is a volatile mix of shame, denial, and self-destruction. Her mother, Kathy (Sharon Farrell) is emotionally absent and addicted to heroin. Trapped between these two toxic poles, Cebe oscillates between rebellion and vulnerability, searching for identity ...

Although Mary's lover Dr. Franz (The Beast Must Die's Anton Diffring,) - psychiatrist to her mad son James (...


The Ghost of Yotsuya by Eric Cotenas (12th June 2025)

Without a master to serve, samurai Iemon (An Actor's Revenge's Kazuo Hasegawa) supports himself and his sickly wife Oiwa (Rodan's Yasuko Nakada) by making umbrellas, much to the offense of Oiwa's uncle (Adauchi's Hanzô Kataoka) who attributes Iemon's inability to secure a position to laziness and sets him up for an interview with Lord Ito (Resurrection's San'emon Arashi), assuring him that the traditional gift of a barrel of sake should be enough to flatter his potential employer. Iemon, however, is humiliated when Ito chooses another samurai – for what amounts to a security guard position on construction sites – who comes with an influential ...


TECHNICAL REVIEWS
Carnal Knowledge (Blu-ray) by Rick Curzon (12th June 2025)

Jack Nicholson (The Passenger) and Art Garfunkel (Bad Timing) star alongside Candice Bergen (Starting Over) and Ann-Margret (R.P.M.) in Carnal Knowledge, one of American cinema’s most daring and provocative films, masterfully directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate). During their time in college, roommates Sandy (Garfunkel) and Jonathan (Nicholson) reveal their innermost feelings about girls and sex to one another, each taking his own approach to getting what he wants. As they grow older and establish new relationships, they continue to share their fantasies and frustrations about the opposite sex, each responding differently to the mixture of desire, distain and disinterest they experience. Note-perfect dialogue from the pen of the great Jules Feiffer (Little Murders) and exquisite photography by legendary Italian cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno (Fellini Satyricon) combine with universally outstanding performances – including from supporting players Rita Moreno (The Night of the Following Day) and Carol Kane (The Last Detail) – to create an unflinching and uncompromising classic of the New Hollywood era....


Day at the Beach (A) AKA Roman Polanski's A Day at the Beach (Blu-ray) by Rick Curzon (12th June 2025)

Mark Burns (Death in Venice) and Beatrice Edney (Highlander) star in A Day at the Beach, a downbeat tale of alcoholism written by Roman Polanski (Chinatown), produced by regular Polanski collaborator Gene Gutowski (Cul-de-Sac, The Pianist), and shot by celebrated cinematographer Gilbert Taylor (Repulsion, Star Wars). When Bernie (Burns) takes a little girl, Winnie (Edney) – who may or may not be his niece or perhaps daughter – for a trip to a decrepit Danish seaside town on a day of heavy rain, he sets about cajoling the locals in a desperate quest for alcohol, leaving his young charge to fend for herself. The sole feature-film credit for director Simon Hesera, A Day at the Beach received scant distribution at the time of its production, but – after having been lost for decades – it was eventually revived and re-released to critical acclaim, with audiences particularly interested to discover the charismatic cameo appearances by British comedy legends Peter Sellers (The Blockhouse, Hoffman) and Graham Stark (The Wrong Box)....

Contraband AKA Luca Il Contrabbandiere AKA The Smuggler AKA The Naples Connection (Blu-ray) by Rick Curzon (20th May 2025)

Renowned as the “Godfather of Gore” for legendary cult supernatural horror films like “The Beyond” , Lucio Fulci delivers the suspense of noir with the punch of a horror film in his unapologetically brutal crime masterpiece, CONTRABAND - creating a raw, uncompromisingly visceral vision of organised crime with horror-style set-pieces - including one of the most notorious scenes in Italian crime cinema, the "melting face" sequence. Fulci lays bare the raw - and completely unromanticised - brutality of the Camorra in one of his most hard-hitting and unrelenting films, merging crime thriller with Horror’s shocking aesthetics. “It got so real that the local underworld got involved in the actual making of the film”, explains star Fabio Testi in an exclusive interview for this release. CONTRABAND stars the ever-charismatic tough-guy Fabio Testi (‘Revolver’) who delivers a powerful, career-defining performance as Luca - a tough-as-nails cigarette smuggler whose world explodes when his brother is murdered and his wife abducted. This ignites a ferocious mob war, with a ruthless new order attempting to replace the old criminal order with deadly narcotics. What follows isn’t just revenge - it’s a one-man war agains...


Rose of Iron AKA La Rose de Fer AKA The Iron Rose AKA Nuit du Cimetière AKA The Crystal Rose (Blu-ray) by Rick Curz (6th May 2025)

Having built his reputation with a quartet of eccentric erotic vampire tales, Jean Rollin surprised audiences with The Iron Rose (Le Rose de fer), an atmospheric detour into the realms of the fantastique. When a couple – played by Françoise Pascal (Burke and Hare) and Hugues Quester (Je t’aime moi non plus) – stumble across an old cemetery, they begin to explore its gravestones and crypts. But, as night falls, they find that they are unable to leave ... Restored in 4K from the original negative, The Iron Rose also features Rollin regulars Nathalie Perrey (Lips of Blood) and Mireille Dargent (Requiem for a Vampire), and is considered by many to be one of its director’s crowning achievements. This new edition also includes a new 4K restoration of Rollin’s early short film The Yellow Loves, an evocation of the poetry of Tristan Corbière, whose work was also the inspiration for The Iron Rose....

Schoolgirl Hitchhikers AKA Jeunes filles impudiques AKA Girls Without Shame AKA High School Hitch Hikers (Blu-ray) by Rick Curzon (6th May 2025)

Joëlle Cœur (The Demoniacs) and Gilda Arancio (Tender and Perverse Emanuelle) star in Girls Without Shame (Jeunes filles impudiques), Jean Rollin’s first foray into the world of erotic cinema, made under the pseudonym ‘Michel Gentil’. Two curious young women, Monica (Cœur) and Jackie (Arancio), find an abandoned old house whilst out hiking.

Restored in 4K from the original negative, Girls Without Shame (aka Schoolgirl Hitchhikers) features a score by regular Rollin composer Pierre Raph (Requiem for a Vampire) and supporting turns by Willy Braque (Lips of Blood) and Rollin himself, and sees the director successfully transfer his trademark images and themes to a new genre.

Four Flies on Grey Velvet AKA 4 mosche di velluto grigio AKA Quattro mosche di velluto grigio AKA 4 mouches de velours gris (Blu-ray 4K) by Rick Curzon (16th April 2025)

Dario Argentodescribes FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET as a deeply personal exploration of his inner turmoil: “I decided to let loose, go crazy, and unleash all my creativity and personal nightmares. Psychoanalysis plays a major role in the film because it’s partly autobiographical – rather Freudian, in fact.” Both Argento and lead actor Michael Brandon, in exclusive interviews for this edition, reveal how the director found his alter ego in Brandon, channelling his own paranoia to create an unsettling psychological thriller. The result is a shocking, knife-edge whodunit with a stunning twist. Introspection becomes art in Argento’s hands, making FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET essential viewing for anyone seeking a glimpse into the director’s psyche. It concludes Argento’s iconic ‘Animal’ trilogy, paving the way for ‘Suspiria’ and his later expressionistic masterpieces that earned him the title ‘Master of Horror.’ Celebrated rock musician Roberto Tobias (Michael Brandon) is thrust into a nightmare. Framed for a brutal stabbing, he soon finds himself ensnared in a web of senseless murders. The only clue to the deranged killer lies in a cryptic image captured on a victim’s retina. Roberto’s desperate searc...
