Oasis Of Fear Add to Shopping Cart

Umberto Lenzi 1970

Ray Lovelock, Ornella Muti, Irene Pappas Letterboxed print

One of Umberto Lenzi's better thrillers. It stars Ray Lovelock and Ornella Muti (who has some

nice nude scenes) as two drifters who sell nude photos of themselves to help pay their way

across Europe. They stumble across the home of a rich, older woman (Irene Papas) and when

they discover her husband's dead body in the garage, decide to make themselves at home and

blackmail her. Unfortunately for them, she's not someone you want to screw around with

Paranoia/Orgasmo Add to Shopping Cart

Umberto Lenzi 1968

Carroll Baker, Lou Castel, Collette Descombes

Here's a great deal. This ground breaking Umberto Lenzi Giallo was quite controversial in its

day as it was rated X here in the states because Carroll Baker really showed all. What most

people don't know is that the Italian version is quite different as new scenes were shot, an

entire subplot was added about Baker's husband and even nude scenes were shot from

different angles. So, I am offering the US release and the rare Italian version, letterboxed

WITH English subtitles!!

The Corruption Of Chris Miller Add to Shopping Cart

1972

Marisol, Jean Seberg in english with greek subs

Letterboxed print. The Spanish didn't make many attempts at imitating the Italian Giallo but

when they did, they usually got it right. This film is a good example. Marisol and Jean Seberg

are lesbian lovers who live out in the country. There's a homicidal maniac in the area and their

peaceful idyll is interrupted by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Is he the killer or is it one of

the women? Quite bloody during the murders, this is a terrific sleeper of a horror film and

comes recommended.

The Designated Victim Add to Shopping Cart

Maurizio Lucidi 1971

Tomas Milian, Pierre Clementi, Katia Christine

Beautiful widescreen print. This is director Maurizio Lucidi's spirited seventies take on

Hitchcock's STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Milian plays a commercials director who wants to sell his

business so he can run off with his mistress (Katia Christine who supplies ample nudity). Only

problem is that his shrewish wife says no and she controls the shares. He meets a very rich

and decadent young man (Pierre Clementi who promises to kill his wife if he will kill his brother.

This is a great example of an obscure Italian thriller that is a perfect blend of direction, musical

score (by Luis Bacalov), and locale (the canals of Venice). Highly recommended

The Double Add to Shopping Cart

Romolo Guerierri 1972

Jean Sorel, Lucia Bose, Ewa Aulin

The film opens with that handsome devil Jean Sorel being gunned down in an underground

parking lot by a little old man. The balance of the film is a flashback as we discover why this

event occured. Along the way we are introduced to his wife played by Ewa Aulin (who does

have nude scenes) and mother-in-law played by Lucia Bose (who does not). Sorel has the hots

for Bose and it's this passion that leads him to ruin. The ending, revealing why he was shot is a

particularly sick twist of fate

Armando Crispino 1972

Alex Cord, Samantha Eggar, John Marley

aka THE DEAD ARE ALIVE-Previous English language editions of this film were missing all the

gore sequences, plus the image was drastically squeezed to fit the TV screen. Well, here's an

uncut, English subtitled version that's nicely letterboxed to boot of one of the better Gialli made.

Armando (AUTOPSY) Crispino directs this tale of ancient evil centering around conductor John

Marley, archaeologist Alex Cord and their lover played by Samantha Eggar. People are being

graphically murdered in ways similar to drawings found in Etruscan graves from centuries ago.

Look for Christina Von Blanc (A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD) as a nude victim of the
