• Contraband | Blu Ray | (26/05/2025) from £19.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  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 torture 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 against a ruthless drug lord portrayed with unhinged intensity by Marcel Bozzuffi. His performance is so disturbingly sadistic, it makes his assassin role in The French Connection look tame. Here, Bozzuffi's cool menace curdles into something purely psychopathic. Fulci spares no one in the ensuing bloodbath, turning the sun-drenched Bay of Naples into a blood-soaked battleground. Brace yourself for a visceral assault on the senses as Fulci unleashes his signature gut-churning gore and eye-popping graphic cruelty. This definitive edition is presented fully uncut, restored from 4K vault negative with additional colour correction and upgraded sound - exclusive to this version. It also uniquely features two optional seamless colour-version openings. Presented in FullHD 1080p Encode, it features both the English and the original Italian audio (with newly translated English subtitles), plus several extras including a unique new interview with star Fabio Testi. SPECIAL FEATURES ¢ Exclusive all-revealing new interview with star Fabio Testi on how the real underworld got involved in the making of the film! ¢ Exclusive definitive video essay by Stephen Thrower Fulci specialist and author of world-renowned Fulci bible Beyond Terror ¢ Interview with Antonella Fulci, candid revelations about her father Lucio Fulci ¢ New English subtitles and SDH O-card and reversible sleeve featuring new exclusively commissioned artwork and original poster.

• Revolver | Blu Ray | (16/05/2022) from £10.75   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Eureka Entertainment to release REVOLVER; a suspenseful crime thriller starring Oliver Reed, co-written and directed by the legendary Sergio Sollima, on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from a brand-new 4K restoration. Available as part of the Eureka Classics range from 16 May 2022, the first print-run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase & Collector's Booklet. After directing his triptych of political (and acclaimed) spaghetti westerns (The Big Gundown; Face to Face; and Run, Man, Run), Sergio Sollima directed two crime thrillers in the poliziotteschi genre the name given to the violent and action-packed Italian crime thrillers that had become exceedingly popular amongst Italian audiences. Sollima was a perfect fit for this style of filmmaking, and the two films he directed in the genre are both essential viewing. Presented here is the second, Revolver, starring Oliver Reed and Fabio Testi. Kidnappers have snatched the wife of Milan's top prison warden (Reed) and demand the release of an inmate (Testi) as ransom. But when the warden allows his prisoner to escape, the two become trapped in a deadly conspiracy that reaches from the halls of government to the bullet-riddled city streets. Can an obsessed lawman and an escaped convict survive the forces of corruption as well as each other, or does the ultimate law of society belong to the revolver? Makes Death Wish look like wishful thinking! was the immortal tagline that accompanied the film upon its US release (also retitled Blood in the Streets), but Revolveras is to be expected from Sollimais a much more complex film. Sollima was a highly political director and his films were often allegorical, implicitly opposed to the corruption endemic in Italian society at the time. With music by the late maestro, Ennio Morricone (including one of his most beloved compositions, Un Amico), Eureka Classics is proud to present Revolver from a new 4K restoration for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK. Product Features Limited Edition O-Card slipcase (2000 copies only) 1080p presentation on Blu-ray from a 4K restoration English and Italian audio options Optional English Subtitles, newly translated for this release Brand new audio commentary by author critic Kim Newman Brand new interview with film scholar Stephen Thrower, author of Nightmare USA Archival interview with actor Fabio Test Original Trailers and Radio Adverts PLUS: A Limited-Edition Collector's Booklet (2000 copies only) featuring two new essays by author Howard Hughes; one covering the background to the making of Revolver, and an extensive piece on Ennio Morricone's Eurocrime soundtracks

• Savage Guns: Four Classic Westerns Vol 3 Blu-ray | Blu Ray | (24/03/2025) from £56.89   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Maniacal outlaws thirsting for blood! Corrupt capitalists profiting from the suffering of the common folk! Desperate people pushed to violent revenge! The Italian western has never been grittier than in this quartet of later-period cult classics, in which the trademark cynicism of the genre escalates into the radical pessimism of the late 1960s / early 1970s world. In Paolo Bianchini's I Want Him Dead (1968), American actor Craig Hill (The Bloodstained Shadow) stars as an ex-Confederate soldier who vows revenge after his sister is raped and murdered, in so doing setting him on a collision course with a dastardly plot to disrupt peace talks between the North and South. Next, in Edoardo Mulargia's El Puro (1969; a.k.a. The Reward's Yours The Man's Mine), western icon Robert Woods (My Name is Pecos) gives arguably his greatest performance as a legendary gunfighter forced to emerge from hiding after the bounty hunters on his tail murder the tender-hearted barmaid (Rosalba Neri, Smile Before Death) who offered him a new life. Then, in Mario Camus' Wrath of the Wind (1970), genre superstar Terence Hill (They Call Me Trinity) shows his darker side as an assassin who finds his conscience when he and his brother (Mario Pardo, Knife of Ice) are hired by a ruthless landholder (Fernando Rey, The French Connection) to kill the leaders of a growing labor movement. Finally, Fabio Testi (What Have You Done to Solange?) and Tomas Milian (Don't Torture a Duckling) star in Lucio Fulci's The Four of the Apocalypse (1975), in which a quartet of misfits go from sharing the same jail cell to embarking on a savage odyssey that will lead to torture, rape and cannibalism. Preyed upon by a ruthless bandit, the foursome fight for their lives until the time comes for revenge. Four of the Italian western's hardest, cruelest, bloodiest classics erupt from the screen in this feature-packed box set from Arrow Films.
