BLOOD TRACKS (DVD) Hills Have Eyes type slasher by Mats Helge

This one is pretty rad and luckily it has cool enough cover art to live up to the film.  Starring a real life Swedish glam metal band, this flick pours on heaps of classic '80s cheese while also making it hype by setting the film in an epic location - an abandoned factory high up in the snowy mountains.  Directed by Sweden's number one (only?) action director, Mats Helge.........

BLOOD TRACKS (1985)

     A Swedish glam metal band travel into the frozen north to shoot part of a music video near a huge, creepy, abandoned factory. Unbeknownst to them, a family of mutant hermits covered with festering sores, scuttle about like creatures amidst the worn out machinery, broken down furnaces and endless catwalks.

     The band members, video crew, and entourage of groupie babes end up wandering though the abandoned factory when an avalanche stalls production of the video and leaves them stranded. The hermit family do not take kindly to trespassers though and the reign of murder, violence and abduction begins.

     Director Mats Helge (The Ninja Mission) creates a pseudo slasher in the vein of The Hills Have Eyes that shows how the materialistic youth culture of the 80's turned their back on the traditions of industry. Stars real life hair band "Easy Action", who formed in Stockholm in 1982 and had a hit in Sweden with the song "We Go Rocking".

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.".

LAST MOVIE, THE (DVD) Dennis Hopper's infamous long lost film

This week we have a really rare one from the late great Dennis Hopper.  Even after it won best picture at the Venice Film Festival, Universal buried it after Hopper refused to recut it for its proper theatrical release.  Some will love this film, some will hate it, but regardless, it really is an experience like all great art and should experienced for yourself.  If you are a fan of Mr. Hopper, this is a must for the collection.........

THE LAST MOVIE (1971)

     A crew of American movie makers come to Peru to shoot a western. The locals become mystified by the crew's amazing gear and create giant, non-functional bamboo versions of the film equipment. When the film wraps and the Americans leave, a stuntman stays behind to ineptly exploit the wilds around him.

     The villagers start a cult and cast the stuntman to be in their own movie production. They seem to have failed to recognize that the deaths in the actual movie they saw being filmed were not real. In their "movie" when someone dies, he dies for real. Everything grows to a feverish pitch as civilization and primitivism poison each other as church and theatre become locked in a combustible embrace.

     Dennis Hopper went to his grave insisting that this film was his own Citizen Kane. Alexandro Jodorowsky was an editing consultant as well, which seemed to add to the already trippy vibe. Look for Hopper's buddies Peter Fonda and Dean Stockwell, Eurocrime regular Tomas Milian, as well as Kris Kristofferson in his screen debut.

THE LAST MOVIE is available immediately and can be found in the Director' Lost Gems 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.

SEVEN MAGNIFICENT GLADIATORS, THE(DVD) Bruno Mattei directs Lou Ferrigno

We have dug up some more sword and sorcery for this weeks news release.  Well, more sword and sandal I guess since more muscle is flexed than magic. If you are a fan of Bruno Mattei, you will definitely want to add this one to the collection since he, like Fulci, didn't dable in this genre  for long......

THE SEVEN MAGNIFICENT GLADIATORS (1983)

     The mighty barbarian Han wields his mystical Sword of Achilles, vanquishing evil that is spreading across the countryside of ancient Rome. Pandora, the courageous leader of a group of women, is seeking the one man who can free their village from the wicked Nicerote, who is half man, half god and completely evil.

     

     As Nicerote leads his legion of soldiers in a merciless campaign of terror and murder, Han assembles a fearless group of seven in hopes to defeat him. The band of magnificent gladiators confront the seemingly invincible Nicerote on the field of battle in a colossal collision of muscle and steel.

     

     Bruno Mattei (Shocking Dark, Robowar) and Claudio Fragasso (Troll 2, Zombie 4: After Death) double tag team direct this swords and sandal take on Akira Kurosawa's classic The Seven Samurai. Lou Ferrigno (TV's The Incredible Hulk) stars along side his wife Carla, as well as buxom B-movie queen Sybil Danning.

MORTUARY (DVD) rare slasher with Bill Paxton in early role

Getting back to some horror this week.  It is surprising this one hasn't had an official release considering how big a star Bill Paxton has become.  The trailer below is pretty funny because it has nothing to do with the movie and stars our favorite freakazoid Michael Berryman who doesn't even appear in the film............

MORTUARY (1983)

     A young girl suffers from sleepwalking and terrifying nightmares ever since her father supposedly drowned in the family swimming pool. She knows his death was not an accident, but no one will believe her until her boyfriend sees the hooded figures she described in her dreams in the town's mortuary.

     When she learns that her mother is a member of the cult taking part in black magic rituals at the mortuary, she begins to distrust everyone in her life. Is her mother trying to drive her crazy or is there a more sinister figure responsible for the recent murders? It is up to her boyfriend to save her before she ends up on the slab.

     This entertaining slasher stars real-life husband and wife Lynda Day George (Pieces, Young Warriors) and Christopher George (Enter the Ninja, City of the Living Dead), but most notably has Bill Paxton giving an early over-the-top performance as a young, crazy mortician. The horror elements are nicely balanced with a few nuggets of delightfully droll black humor and the sunny locales are a refreshing change for the genre.

MORTUARY 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.
