"Making its worldwide Blu-ray debut early next year – the Mexican nunsploitation shocker SATANICO PANDEMONIUM!

We announced this earlier this earlier this year but encountered a problem and couldn’t publish.

What happened was that we had a 4k scan done in Mexico from original pre-print materials. But it became apparent on checking this that there was an optical fault in the only surviving negative source that must have been introduced during the original post production process. This was a fault that was not fixable. We spent nearly a year looking for alternative materials and finally located a fairly clean 35mm positive print which was then scanned at 2k.

We have decided to have both scans available on the disc so the viewer can choose to see the version derived from pre-print material, which has greater depth of color and all original grain, or the softer print version which does not have the optical fault.

It must be said that the fault is minor and is not present on every reel. However we felt it best to give the viewer a choice on which version they preferred. Each version has it merits and demerits.

In the spirit of Ken Russel's The Devils this is one of the most subversive, violent and shocking films ever made about the religious life. With a stunning performance from the often naked Cecilia Pezet, the film inspired the Salma Hayek character in Tarantino script of From Dusk Til Dawn.

Sister Maria (Pezet) is known in the convent for her good works and charity, but, in the secret depths of her sexual fantasies, she is tormented by visions of another world - a world where her forbidden passions are allowed to run free. In this world Satan is her master.

As her acts of violence and blasphemy mount, Maria realizes that she has been chosen by the Devil to destroy the convent and lead her sister nuns into hell!"
