WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?  
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE  
FOUR DISC LIMITED EDITION WITH 6 HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES AND BONUS MORRICONE SOUNDTRACK CD
​

It’s been called a “one-of-a-kind giallo” (The Digital Bits) that “delivers shocks with the precision of a Swiss watch” (Starburst). More than 50 years later, the stunner “that remains massively disturbing at a deeper level” (Scream Magazine) is uncut in UHD for the first time ever: When a series of brutal sex murders rocks an all-girls Catholic college, suspicion falls on a philandering professor (Fabio Testi of CONTRABAND) whose own investigation will uncover a conspiracy of depravity. Cristina Galbó (LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE) and Camille Keaton (of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE infamy in her film debut) co-star in “one of the classics of the genre” (DVD Talk) – also known as THE SCHOOL THAT COULDN’T SCREAM, WHO’S NEXT? and TERROR IN THE WOODS – directed by Massimo Dallamano (WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS?) featuring masterful cinematography by Joe D’Amato and a legendary score by Ennio Morricone, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 6 hours of Special Features and Bonus Soundtrack CD.

THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE  
THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
​

In his English-language debut, award-winning director André Øvredal (TROLLHUNTER, THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER) unleashed an “intensely frightening” (Wicked Horror), “gaspingly good” (The New York Times) “exercise in pure terror” (Flickering Myth), now laid out and sliced open in UHD for the first time ever: When the body of an unidentified young woman is discovered at the scene of a mass slaughter, it is sent to the local coroner (Emmy® and BAFTA winner Brian Cox of Succession and MANHUNTER) and his son (Emile Hirsch of INTO THE WILD and ONCE UPON A TIME IN… HOLLYWOOD) for surgical post-mortem. But this corpse will reveal chilling secrets. The mortuary itself will pulse with malevolence. And as their autopsy cuts deeper, an unstoppable evil will rise. Ophelia Lovibond (Minx) and Michael McElhatton (Game of Thrones) co-star in this “masterclass in horror filmmaking” (Coming Soon), now scanned in 4K with nearly 2 hours of Special Features including new interviews with André Øvredal, Emile Hirsch, Olwen Catherine Kelly and more.

SHEILA AND THE BRAINSTEM  
THE OFFICIAL WORLDWIDE HOME VIDEO PREMIERE
INCLUDES 2 VERSIONS & 3 HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
​

In 1989, UCLA film students Russell Bates and Matt McDowell borrowed a 16mm camera, maxed out their credit cards and made a punk rock road movie about love, death, jerky, kidnapped newlyweds, 24-hour minimarts and a magical brainstem that promises immortality, featuring appearances by L.A. music scene icons that include Redd Kross, Milo Aukerman of Descendents and Peter Case of The Plimsouls with soundtrack vocals by Bob Forrest of Thelonious Monster. But when the finished film was unable to find theatrical distribution, it instead became an underground bootleg legend. Now after nearly four decades, this “offbeat saga of America wrapped in a Big Mac carton” (Daily Bruin) has been scanned in 2K from the original negative and is presented in both its Original Version and Producer’s Cut with 3 hours of all-new Special Features.

TWO DISC COLLECTION
WITH 3+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
​

Following his success with GRIZZLY and DAY OF THE ANIMALS, producer/director William Girdler bought the film rights to the best-selling novel by Graham Masterton for what would become the most ambitious film of Girdler’s career…and a commercial triumph he would never live to see: Academy Award® nominee Tony Curtis leads an all-star cast – including Michael Ansara, Susan Strasberg, Stella Stevens, Ann Sothern and Burgess Meredith – in this infamous ‘70s saga of tarot card hustlers, enormous neck tumors, a 400-year-old reincarnated medicine man and naked demon space laser battles that has been called everything from “a thoroughly entertaining supernatural extravaganza” (The Spinning Image) and “a fascinating experience” (DVD Beaver) to “a deliriously ill-advised oddity” (Indiewire) and “as crazy as it sounds and then some” (AV Club). Misquamacus says “this truly underappreciated gem” (Rock! Shock! Pop!) is now scanned in 4K from the 35mm interpositive by StudioCanal for the first time ever with over 3 hours of all-new and archival Special Features.

METAMORPHOSIS

THREE DISC LIMITED EDITION

When writer/actor Luigi Montefiori/George Eastman passed away in May of 2026, the world lost “one of the most fascinating figures in Italian exploitation cinema” (Genre Grinder).

But will his growing obsession with creating a new lifeform lead to the most horrific transformation of all? Gene LeBrock (BEYOND DARKNESS) stars – with a special appearance by the movie’s costume designer Laura Gemser – in “the thinking person’s Italian body horror film” (Senseless Cinema) with special effects by Maurizio Trani (ZOMBIE, THE BEYOND, RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR) and a score by Luigi Ceccarelli (STRIKE COMMANDO, NOSFERATU IN VENICE), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include a never-before-seen interview with Montefiori plus the first-ever release of the soundtrack on a Bonus CD.

THE PERROS CALLEJEROS TRILOGY  
THE NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE
OF THE COMPLETE TRILOGY  

THREE DISC COLLECTION
WITH 4+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
​

Cine Quinqui – pronounced ‘kinky’ and short for quincallero, slang used to describe juvenile delinquents – was a series of neorealist dramas depicting the teenage crimewave that plagued post-Franco Spain. And while more than 30 Quinqui movies were produced between 1977 and 1985, the genre was defined – alongside Eloy de la Iglesia’s NAVAJEROS/EL PICO films – by this shocking urban trilogy from writer/director José Antonio de la Loma: Recognized as the original Quinqui, PERROS CALLEJEROS features a star-making performance by real-life street felon Ángel Fernández Franco as charismatic young hoodlum El Torete. De la Loma’s adolescent antihero returns in PERROS CALLEJEROS II to battle an increasingly brutal world of robberies, prison and vengeance. In LOS ÚLTIMOS GOLPES DE EL TORETE, the titular gangster joins forces with the equally notorious El Vaquilla for a rampage that turns violent criminals into pop culture idols. Frank Braña (PIECES), Marta Flores (THE HOUSE BY THE EDGE OF THE LAKE), Xabier Elorriaga (THESIS) and Bernard Seray (THE DEVIL’S HONEY) co-star – along with dozens of actual quinquis – in these groundbreaking action hits, now scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives with English subtitles for the first time ever in North America.

ANTHROPOPHAGOUS  
THE NORTH AMERICAN UHD PREMIERE  
THREE DISC LIMITED EDITION WITH THE ORIGINAL &
EXTENDED ITALIAN VERSIONS
PLUS THE GRIM REAPER U.S. THEATRICAL CUT AND ALL-NEW SPECIAL FEATURES
​

Those with intestinal fortitude know it’s “truly jaw-dropping” (Bloody Disgusting), “surprisingly thrilling” (Confluence of Cult) and “a must-see gut-muncher” (DVD Talk). It was condemned as a Video Nasty and accused of being an actual snuff film. Yet even by ‘80s Italian gore-spewing standards, this grueling shocker from sleaze maestro Joe D’Amato (BEYOND THE DARKNESS, EMANUELLE IN AMERICA) still stands as perhaps the most controversial – and extreme – spaghetti splatter epic of them all, now in UHD for the first time ever in North America. Tisa Farrow (ZOMBIE), Zora Kerova (CANNIBAL FEROX) and co-writer/producer George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori (THE GREAT ALLIGATOR, ABSURD) star in this depraved daddy of cannibal carnage from “Italy’s King of Trash Sinema” (Horrorpedia) in both its original theatrical and extended Italian version – which incorporates a never-before-seen sequence obtained through Rome underworld contacts – plus the U.S. theatrical cut THE GRIM REAPER, all scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include a new archival interview with D’Amato.

ASTRID’S SAINTS  
THE WORLDWIDE HOME VIDEO PREMIERE
​

Thirty years after his remarkable debut DARK WATERS, director Mariano Baino returns with this “masterful” (Culturopoing), “haunting” (L’Étrange Festival) and “visionary” (Nocturno) second feature, now presented on disc for the first time ever: Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni (OPERA, DEMONS 2) delivers an extraordinary performance as Astrid, an anguished mother who must navigate a netherworld of obsession, torment and summoned saints that will bring either true absolution or eternal damnation. Co-written, produced and designed by Baino and Cataldi-Tassoni over the course of a decade – with a stunning score composed by Coralina – this “out-of-the-ordinary, visually sumptuous and stylistically superb folk horror that deserves to be discovered” (Gionna A. Nazarro, FilmTV) is sanctified by over 3 hours of featurettes, short films and more that reveal the full story behind one of the most startling filmmaking comebacks of our time.

It’s been condemned as “flinch-inducing” (The Terror Trap), “stomach-churning” (Horror 101) and “one of the most sickening movies ever made” (Classic Horror), while simultaneously acclaimed as “dark poetry” (Mondo Digital), “gut-fondling fun” (DVD Talk) and “an astonishing achievement” (At the Mansion of Madness).
