Lucio Fulci, Giallo, Horror, Supernatural, New York, Italian, Cult, Uncut, Widescreen; DVD - Ex Used condition
Manhattan Baby is Fulci's dive into beautiful imagery. There's some scenes in this one that are genuinely breathtaking.
A medallion from an archaeological dig leaves a man blind. And a family falls into jeopardy after their son disappears into thin air, and their daughter is possessed by an ancient demon. If the budget hadn't been cut for the film, I would imagine that this would be Fulci's most memorable film. People would think 'Manhattan Baby' instead of 'Zombie' when they heard the name Lucio Fulci. Most horror fans haven't seen this one. It's true that MB isn't a film that succumbs to everyone's tastes. This is simply because in most Italian films, it's usually style over substance, which in some cases can leave an unseasoned viewer in total awe at the apparent inept plot line before them. In the case of Italian films, the viewer generally has to pay very close attention to the whole film. Certain plot definers aren't given 'camera-attention' at crucial times at any given time through any given film. In American films, the camera tells the story. The same can be said for Italian cinema, but a lot of times, it's much more subtle in its delivery and can leave one feeling incomplete until they eventually see it again.
Horror, Special Edition, Gore, George Romero, Sequel, 80's; 2xDVD set - Ex Used condition
Return Of the Living Dead is definitely in the running for best zombie film of all time. Dan O'Bannon brings a ton of wit and humor to the Romero-style zombie film, but it still works on a completely earnest, genuine horror level as well. In Return, the original Night Of the Living Dead film was based on a true story, and a pair of night shift employees at a medical supply warehouse have a couple of the zombie corpses in barrelled up in the basement. Of course, they wind up setting them loose, as well as reanimating all the bodies in a nearby cemetery where a gang of punk rockers - including Linnea Quigley in the role of a lifetime - are partying down. This is just one of those situations where everything clicks. It's got a great cast, diverse cast headed by Clu Gulager which clearly benefited from an extended period of rehearsal before filming. Of course there's O'Bannon's clever writing, and thankfully this is one of his films where he really had the budget to see his vision all the way through. It's got a great 80s rock soundtrack and top of the line special effects. It's a blast.

Masato Tanno's 1-ICHI is the live action prequel to Takashi Miike's 'Ichi The Killer'. In it, we get to witness the teenage roots of Ichi's manic-depressive beginnings and the origins of his monster-sized kicks. Tanno serves up Ichi's psychological, as well as physical beatings. It has plenty of violence as well as some scenes that will make you shiver. This one follows Ichi in his High school days.
Snuff, Gore, Slasher, Uncut, Uncensored, Cult, Controversial; DVD (Euro Cult) - Ex Used condition
Touted as the film that sparked the urban legend of the "Snuff" film, Snuff (or American Cannibale, as the German version was called) is one of the most legendary Grindhouse efforts of the 70s, a low-budget gore flick directed by Michael and Roberta Findlay. Originally a mere slasher film called Slaughter, it quickly became controversial when the film's distributor, Alan Shackleton, added new scenes to the ending, supposedly showing a woman being murdered by the film crew of Slaughter. This is English language Uncut version.
Nunsploitation, Giallo, Slasher, Gore, Exploitation, Cult: DVD - New
A demented nun sliding through morphine addiction into madness, whilst presiding over a regime of lesbianism, torture and death. Sister Gertrude is the head nurse/nun in a general hospital, whose increasingly psychotic behavior endangers the staff and patients around her. As one might expect from such a fusion of genres, The Killer Nun offers plenty in the way of depravity: Sister Gertrude bullies a frail, old woman (stamping on her false teeth in rage), regularly shoots up with morphine (paid for with stolen jewellery), has casual sex with a complete stranger, and cosies up to her busty, lesbian room-mate Sister Mathieu (played by Italian Playboy Playmate Paola Morra, who kindly provides full frontal nudity); a randy, old, wheelchair-bound man proves he's still got it by getting a younger woman to ride him hard during a rainstorm; new physician Dr. Patrick Roland (Joe Dallesandro) has a crack at curing Sister Mathieu of her lesbianism; a woman gets needles and scalpels pushed into her face by the murderer; and a guy is dropped from a great height onto his head.

From the title Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood, one might expect a Herschell Gordon Lewis style B-movie gore fest. Instead, one gets a creepy, atmospheric, low-budget cross between art and exploitation. A young woman and her parents discover strange goings-on at the run down carnival at which they recently began working, and they find themselves having to escape from a nightmarish situation. The plot is fairly minimal, with the movie feeling more like a creepy tone poem than a strictly narrative piece. The cast and crew use the run down carnival location to great effect. The amount of atmosphere they generate using found materials and a very limited budget is quite impressive. Filmed in 1973 and thought lost for almost 30 years, the film is not as widely known or seen as other films of that time. Its experimental and psychedelic atmosphere makes it an interesting artifact from its era and essential for fans.
Mondo, Shockumentary, Trash, Documentary, Cult, Something Weird; 4K scanned Double Feature DVD - Ex Used condition
In 1966, the notorious producer/director/distributor team of Lee Frost and Bob Cresse (HOT SPUR, THE SCAVENGERS) combined the extremes of the Mondo genre with their own depraved aesthetic to create two shockumentaries that put Olympic International on the map and changed the face of exploitation forever. Cresse himself narrates MONDO FREUDO, "A world of sex and the strange & unusual laws that govern it." Featuring Hollywood strippers, Tijuana hookers, London lesbians, Times Square satanists and topless Watusi clubs. In MONDO BIZARRO, the team's 'hidden cameras' go 'beyond-the-beyond' to expose Bahamian voodoo rites, Japanese massage parlors, Nazi theater, and an Arab sex slave auction that looks suspiciously like LA.'s Bronson Canyon. Both films have been scanned in 4k from the original Something Weird 35mm vault negatives.

According to George Sanders, Ecco means to “Look, witness, observe, and behold.” He takes us on a narrated and somewhat fractured tour of various areas of the world, revealing many unusual practices of people from different nations and backgrounds. Highlights include German fencing amongst young men, Mardi Gras taking place in Rio, a secret Satanic ritual, graphic footage of men hunting whales, a Grand-Guignol theater performance, the nightlife activities of teenagers in Stockholm, blindfolded buttocks-touching, sliding sharp implements through various body parts with no apparent pain, mass reindeer herding, and much more. While some of it is fairly tame due to decades of exposure to many of the same or similar events, some of it is still quite offensive and gruesome.
In The Forbidden, we primarily witness moments of the erotic and unlawful variety, such as floating strip clubs, Swiss sex rituals, Parisian dancers, virgin strippers, a faithless husband and his vengeful wife, erotic nightclub acts in Brussels, teenage protests on the Sunset Strip, Nazi strippers, and much more. The footage presented here is more of an attack on so-called perversion rather than a neutral exploration like its predecessor, meaning that the narrator makes repeated judgments as we see the various activities taking place. For those of the delicate persuasion, only one instance of bloodletting occurs in one of the film’s re-enactments.
Peter Greenaway, Experimental, Arthouse, Absurdist, Surreal, Short Film, Collection; DVD - Ex Used condition
“He has other reputations as well—as an academic, as a maker of curious artifacts, as a cataloguer of the bizarre and as a librarian of the absurd.” Peter Greenaway might well have been describing himself in this thumbnail sketch of Canton Remodell, a character in an unmade project. Before his international arthouse hits like The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and Prospero’s Books, Greenaway made a series of highly inventive films that established all the obsessions that run through his later work. The content of the six playful shorts featured varies widely—from the condensed, wry history of 37 people who have fallen to their deaths from windows (Windows), to a sequence of 92 maps to guide a dead ornithologist on his way into the afterlife (A Walk Through H) set to a thrilling score by award-winning composer Michael Nyman (The Piano). All of these quirkily delightful works take great pleasure in outlandish detail, fake erudition and corkscrew narratives. Contains the films: Intervals (1969, 6 mins), Windows (1974, 4 mins), Dear Phone (1976, 17 mins), H Is for House (1976, 9 mins), A Walk Through H (1978, 41 mins), and Water Wrackets (1978, 11 mins)
