Release date: April 7

"Sandy Harbutt’s seminal bikie movie, Stone, packed out drive-ins around the country in the early 1970s with its potent mix of sex, drugs, rock’n’roll and unbridled horsepower… and in the process helped kickstart the Ozploitation explosion.

Ken Shorter (Sunday Too Far Away) is Stone, an undercover cop who infiltrates an outlaw motorcycle gang to investigate a series of grisly killings. He is thrown into the world of the Gravediggers – alienated Nam Vets who live in a fortress by the sea and have their own law, their own satanic religion, their own bevy of bikie chicks (including Rebecca Gilling, Return To Eden, in her film debut) and a nasty habit of getting into violent and bloody gang battles.

French label LE CHAT QUI FUME is bringing a Jess Franco title which has previously only been available as a Spanish VHS to 4K UHD and Blu-ray in the future!

“The movie is franco spanish that has never been published on DVD or everything else and there are almost no traces of it. Except for an old moldy Spanish vhs with the censored version.

And now we found the elements in France. But while she wasn't our surprise when we opened the reels. In addition to the advertisements, English, French generics, we noticed that the film had 3 different edits!! Yes 3!

The film actually features footage with young women tormented by a dirty man having fun torturing them (don't lie, you love it). In the Spanish version, all women are dressed. But there is also a version, the French one, where all women are totally naked.... AND we discovered a version where women are... half naked. All footage was shot 3 times, sometimes with different frames, with the same actresses... knowing that besides, in the uncensored version, the villain of the story makes love to them.

3 different fixtures, totally naked women, half naked and not at all naked. We never seen this before.

Of course how crazy we are, we're going to offer you the 3 mounts on the BLURAY and UHD coming out.... we don't know when yet. Because there's still work to do!!!”

'LUZ: The Flower of Evil' (2019) - Coming soon from Fractured Visions

“Do you like folk horror? Acid westerns? How about dark arthouse flicks? Good, so do we!

We’re thrilled to announce that we will be releasing Juan Diego Escobar Alzate's stunning LUZ: The Flower of Evil in the UK and here's a look at our beautiful new artwork from Christopher Shy. We'll be announcing the full details of the disc once pre-orders go live next month.

Far into the Colombian mountains, a small farming community is rocked by the arrival of a mysterious young boy. Their leader, El Señor, claims that the child is the new Messiah, there to save their land, yet his three daughters start to question their father’s beliefs when the community starts to dissolve into madness and violence. Is this boy God? The Devil? More importantly, is there a difference?

LUZ: THE FLOWER OF EVIL marks the arrival of a stunning new cinematic voice. Juan Diego Escobar Alzate’s harrowing yet beautiful take on Good versus Evil is unlike anything that has come before it and is essential viewing for any folk horror, acid western and dark arthouse film aficionados. Brace yourself.

We'll be bringing this out digitally in July, with a special limited edition blu-ray to follow in August. If you're a fan of maverick Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, you DO NOT want to miss out on this slice of cinematic insanity.”"
