SEVEN DEATHS IN THE CATS EYE - Deluxe Collector's Edition BD (The Italian Collection 19)

The vampire genre gets an injection of 70’s giallo glamour thanks to a cast which includes Jane Birkin, Hiram Keller and Anton Diffring in Antonio Margheriti’s Seven Deaths In The Cat's Eye. This compelling chiller is set in Scotland where, in a crumbling old castle, its inhabitants are being bumped off one-by-one.

Could the legend of a vampire haunting with in its cold walls be true and is it the cause of these mysterious deaths? Gothic with an infusion of erotic charm, the film also contains an undercurrent of social commentary. Look out for Birkin’s singer/songwriter friend Serge Gainsbourg in a cameo as a police Inspector.

THE CANNIBAL MAN - Special Edition Blu-Ray

One of the original Video Nasties returns, ready to deprave and corrupt a whole new generation. The Cannibal Man is the story of Marcos, a slaughter-house worker turned serial killer, for whom one gruesome murder leads inexorably to another.

Once considered dangerous enough to be banned, there's more to Eloy De La Iglesia's movie than cheap thrills: it's a comment on life under fascism, a world where brutality leads to brutality.

RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR - Special Edition 4K UHD

It took some time for fright-fans to really groove to the eclectic, insane and often inane brilliance of the late Bruno Mattei (ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH). Now, belatedly, viewed as a master of cut-price plasma-spillage, the time is ripe to revisit one of the great man's wildest accomplishments - RATS: NIGHTS OF TERROR. 

 Unveiled to audiences of video-violence in 1984, this post-apocalyptic pot-boiler sees some of the last humans alive grapple with a horde of flesh-eating rodents - and a shocking final revelation that has fast become Mattei's signature 'twist'. 

Also featuring a superlative ensemble cast that includes such Italian gore legends as Ottaviano Dell'Acqua (ZOMBIE FLESH-EATERS), Geretta Geretta (DEMONS) and Massimo Vanni (ZOMBI 3), RATS: NIGHTS OF TERROR is a creepy creature feature that positively oozes with intrigue in this beautiful new remastered 4K UHD release!

DEVIL FETUS - Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-Ray

IT HAS RETURNED. A decade after Cheng Shu-ching was possessed and killed by a demon, it comes back to claim the rest of her family – in the most unpleasant ways possible. The only way to defeat it is with traditional Taoist magic, but that will prove harder than they realise.
