I’m pretty sure 88 Films mentioned Pete Walker boxsets, so I’m guessing there may be another one coming.

'The Whip And The Body' (1963) - Deluxe Collector's Edition Blu-ray pre-order available from Amazon UK - £25:00

Release date: March 27

"Seduction, sadism and sexual obsession – The Whip and the Body is one of the greatest films of legendary director Mario Bava (Hatchet for the Honeymoon; Black Sunday). The equally legendary Christopher Lee (everything from Dracula to The Lord of the Rings) plays Kurt Menliff. He's the black sheep of his family, banished for his wicked, wicked ways. But now he's home, and keen to resume his sadomasochistic affair with his brother's wife Nevenka (Daliah Lavi). So keen, in fact, that not even his untimely death cannot put a stop to his violent lust...

A delirious journey into troubled souls, this is arguably the greatest film Bava ever made – and now it's looking better than ever, gorgeously restored from newly discovered film elements. 88 Films are proud to present Bava's masterpiece, finally resplendent in all its gothic splendour."

'Tentacle' (1977) - Blu-ray pre-order available from Amazon UK - £20:00

Release date: March 27

" Something's happening at the once quiet coastal town of Solana Beach. Boats are being destroyed and people are going missing. Veteran newsman Ned Turner (John Huston, celebrated director of Escape to Victory and Annie) thinks it's connected with the construction of an undersea tunnel. Something has been disturbed, something that's out for blood but no-one realises just how dangerous it is: there are worse things in the sea than sharks... With a cast of Hollywood legends like Henry Fonda (Once Upon A Time in the West), Shelley Winters (Night of the Hunter), Claude Akins (Rio Bravo) and Bo Hopkins (The Wild Bunch), Tentacles is a classic seventies monster movie, blending ecological ruminations with sudden shocks. 88 Films are proud to present this magnificent maritime monstrosity in this beautiful new blu-ray edition."

'Ark Of The Sun God' (1987) - 4KUHD + BLU-RAY pre-order available from Amazon UK - £25:00

Release date: March 6

"Who needs Indiana Jones when you've got Rick Spear? Rick's a master cracksman – the best damn thief in the business – and he's been hired to find the fabled burial chamber of King Gilgamesh and retrieve the valuables within. But he's not the only one on the treasure hunt: others have their eyes on the loot and they'll stop at nothing to get it... A late-career highlight from Italian genre favourite Antonio Margheriti (The Long Hair of Death; Seven Deaths in the Cats Eye), with a characteristically charming performance from David Warbeck (The Beyond) as the dashing Rick, Ark of the Sun God tips its fedora at Raiders of the Lost Ark but adds its own wild invention into the mix. The tomb-raiders at 88 Films are proud to present the 4k UHD premiere of this fabulous slice of 80s adventure."

Good stuff here from 88. I have some questions though...

Is House on the Edge of the Park uncut?

What is the source for The Whip and the Body?

How many people will buy a 4K of Hell of the Living Dead :coffin:

From what I can gather from the BBFC website Rob, the 88 Films release of House on the Edge of the Park will be uncut. That would mean that it would be the first ever uncut release of the film in the UK in the post-VRA era.

As for Hell of the Living Dead, I just love that film!

Yes but will you really buy it on 4K?

peter alex 28th October 2022 06:24 PM

house on the edge of the park is getting released uncut they said it was getting released uncut they said it on facebook but they took it off cause nobody believed them but now we know

Justin101 28th October 2022 06:25 PM

I was kind of hoping for a Pete Walker horror set like the Redemption ones. Some interesting stuff coming out in the next few months, but I don't think I'll be buying any of them personally.

I've had The Whip & The Body blu since when the previous version first came out and I still haven't watched it :lol: I imagine I'll end up buying Zombie Creeping Flesh though at some point :lol:

Hell of the Living Dead is such a grungy film I'm not sure how 4K could improve it?

It also comes into the so shite, its good category, but only after a crate of Special Brew :skull:

peter alex 28th October 2022 07:01 PM

they are also releasing wong jing god of gamblers on the march 20th and D-tox on the march the 6th as well

will graham 28th October 2022 08:04 PM

Yes I knew they had d-tox! Knew it knew it knew it!

D-tox is good but could have been so much better it has an amazing location and a supporting cast of actors to die for but it's just dont work(its pretty easy to guess who's behind it all) am interested if stallone tried to ghost direct it and that's what caused problems or if its something else. Personally think it would have worked better as a mini series.

Will buy if it also comes with the alternative work print cut.

More then one item I'm interested in but bit put off by some of those prices, might have to wait for sale for some.

I don't have a 4K TV or a UHD player, so it wouldn't be much good to me unfortunately.

4K ZGRADE FILMS!

CLASS!

Hopefully Walker's 'Terror' pics will follow in a set.

I bought MANIAC on BD today,even though I own the superb BU 4K UHD.

88 have just made a bit of history by being the first UK company to release this on these shores uncut.

Remember back in the day when you had to import the old Elite DVD before Anchor Bay released the gorgeous tin with the shaped cd that wouldn't play in **** all!

trebor8273 28th October 2022 09:02 PM

We're currently in the last stages of changing the warehouse that services our website. While most of you have probably . hopefully had a good service from us this last year quite a lot haven't sadly and we're sorting that out now

Release date: November 28

"Primitive savagery meets the brutality of the modern world in Ruggero Deodato s timeless slice of visceral horror - Cannibal Holocaust, a film so violent and depraved that the director was charged with killing his own cast! Anthropologist Harold Munroe is hellbound as he travels into the green inferno of South America s rainforest in an attempt to find a documentary crew lost months before. Instead of survivors he discovers a world of cannibalistic excess beyond his wildest imaginings but when he returns home and screens the footage left behind by the eviscerated filmmakers, chaos erupts as the screen is filled with some of most disturbing images ever committed to celluloid. The ultimate video nasty is now presented as never experienced before -remastered in 4K from original sources"

All three are really good in my opinion. The Sex Thief is the best i'd say. It's directed by Martin (Goldeneye, Casino Royale) Campbell.

Zeta One is a sci-fi romp, although the best scenes involve Yutte Stensgaard in a flat - at least as far as nudity goes, which is why we are here for these films. For those who like spotting familiar faces there's a lot to go at here.

Au Pair Girls is the least memorable and most typical of the genre.

I look forward to seeing them all in HD.

Pre-order available from 88Films direct - £34:99

Release date: December 19

"From the era that also bought us the seedier Carry On films and the Confessions… movies there also came a run of other ‘delightfully of their time’ British sex comedies. This beautifully presented set brings together three of those typically silly and salacious soft porn romps in Zeta One (1970), Au Pair Girls (1972) and The Sex Thief (1973). Combining elements of science fiction, crime and plenty of smut these movies could only have sprung from that strangely odd time which fell somewhere between the dying sixties and the Deep Throat generation.

Featuring an eclectic mix of talent including James Robertson Justice (Doctor in the House), Me Me Lai (The Man from Deep River), Charles Hawtrey, (Carry on up the Jungle) and Diane Keen (Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush) these films are at least guaranteed to raise a smile if nothing else…

Daring, daft and unspeakably naughty, here is a threesome you’ll never forget."

So because they're getting spammed on fb about future van damme releases they've mentioned they're releasing one of the following 3 films in the future so it could be lionheart aka awol (last released bare bones by 101 films), double impact (last released several years ago on dvd by second sight) or bloodsport.
