DEVIL'S GIFT, THE (DVD) supernatural suspense thiller with possessed monkey toy

This is a request we tracked down recently and glad to be able to add it to our Ghost and Occult selection of rare flicks.  I'm pretty happy with how the sleeve worked out as we were able to dig up some very cool source art, but if only Satan would appear in the film as he does on the cover....oh well......








THE DEVIL'S GIFT (1984)

     An old widow tries to contact her departed husband with a Ouija board but fails and mistakenly summons an unwilling demon that comes to inhabit an antique wind-up monkey. The demon within the toy quickly orchestrates the demise of old women and destroys her house.

     Years later, an 8-year old boy receives an antique toy monkey for his birthday. Strange things begin to happen, but are ignored until the boy has a close brush with death. Only then does his father realize the intensity of the evil powers that are lurking around. He must destroy the toy monkey before the powers of evil overtake him and his family.

     This film of supernatural suspense is strikingly similar to Stephen King's short story "The Monkey", and supposedly lead to some legal action because of it. Also features a clever animated opening sequence.


THE DEVIL'S GIFT is available immediately and can be found in the Ghosts on the Occult section of the website. If it is still listed as COMING SOON, please email us at revok@revok.com with your request and we can send you a customized invoice so you can easily pay by PayPal or credit card.

JUNIOR (DVD) bizarre Canadian made exploitation slasher


This week we have a kind of post-women-in-prison flick that is part hicksplotation and part slasher.  Junior can not really be compared to Leatherface or Freddy like the old video box might suggest, but he is definitely a deranged retard that provides a lot of character to this rare piece of Canadian cinema history......



JUNIOR (1985)

     Two sexy prostitutes are fresh out of prison when they meet up with their old pimp.  When he starts beating on them, the girls steal his car and set off on a life changing road trip.  They come across an abandoned marina and decide to stay, take it over and make a business out of it.

     The girls soon encounter the corrupt town sheriff and some creepy locals including Junior, the village idiot.  Junior has a thing for fire, worms, rifles, knives, ropes, speedboats, and his psychotic mother. It isn't long before Junior has killed the girls dog and started to chip away at their house with his chainsaw.

     This rare Canadian feature veers from one genre to the next but eventually settles on being full on horror in the end.  Jeremy Ratchford stars as Junior, who went on to star in almost every Canadian television series as well as Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven.

AKA - HOT WATER, A CUT ABOVE


JUNIOR is available immediately and can be found in the Slasher Flicks section of the website. If it is still listed as COMING SOON, please email us at revok@revok.com with your request and we can send you a customized invoice so you can easily pay by PayPal or credit card.

INVINCIBLE BARBARIAN, THE (DVD) Franco Prosperi barbarian action


This film was a request we got not too long ago that we tracked down.  Made before "Throne of Fire", this is Franco Prosperi's first time directing the genre and starts the legend of Gunan, the cheese ball rip-off of Conan, play by Pietro Torrisi aka - Peter McCoy.  The below death scene definitely gives you an idea of what you are getting into.........



THE INVINCIBLE BARBARIAN (1982)

     A peaceful countryside village is assaulted by a wild tribe, led by an evil blood-thirsty tyrant. Although they lay waste to the village, two baby boys are miraculously saved by a tribe of Amazon warriors.

     The warriors train the two boys for future struggles. The stronger of the two is named "Gunan the Invincible" and it is his fate to avenge the annihilation of his people. Gunan stages a spectacular one-man war against the the evil marauders, but they prove a formidable adversary that won't go down without an epic battle.
     

Franco Prosperi directs this barbarian adventure with Pietro Torrisi and Sabrina Siani who teamed up with him again for "The Throne of Fire" and also starred in "The Sword of the Barbarians" together. In the spirit or recycling, the first 10 minutes describes evolution and ancient prophecy uses footage stolen right from Hammer Studios' 1966 film "One Million Years B.C.".

AKA - GUNAN, KING OF THE BARBARIANS
