The 88 Films Thread

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

The BBFC has been scissor happy with MAN FROM DEEP RIVER (1972), the forefather of the Italian cannibal film. We knew this when we took the, frankly, ballsy decision to pick this one up for the UK. This is partly why your friends here at 88 Films have invested in a mega edition of the movie that surely stands as one of the finest all round documents of the controversial Italian flesh-feasting genre. Whilst the BBFC has lopped away three sequences of real animal cruelty, we can offer a truly legendary meat munching edition nonetheless. First up is the 80 minute documentary ME ME LAI BITES BACK. Hailed by the lady herself and invited to play this year's Sitges Film Festival this is perhaps an even more in depth and concise look at the Italian cannibal cycle than EATEN ALIVE from our ZOMBI HOLOCAUST BD. A loving look at Me Me herself, this features extensive contributions from the actress as well as Eli Roth, Ruggero Deodato and more. In addition we have an exclusive and in depth chat with the iconic Mr. Umberto Lenzi, an extended on camera discussion of cannibal cinema with Eli Roth, director of the fabulous GREEN INFERNO and all round living legend, and a full length audio commentary by EATEN ALIVE director Calum Waddell. Plus a collector's booklet with a guide to every Italian cannibal flick ever. Those BBFC cuts may make your tummy turn but our edition of MAN FROM DEEP RIVER is sure to have you licking your lips.
Also there will be a slipcase, strictly limited to the first 250 Blu-ray orders directly from our website. Anyone who has already preordered will receive one.

I have bought all of the Italian collection so far and like the 88 Films release of Anthropophagus i will be buying Man From deep River for the extras only. It is a nice slipcover but £20 is a bit much especially as the released is censored, If the release was uncut then my opinion would be different.
For a few quid more i can double dip and get both the 88 Films normal release and the uncut Raro release.

Not on Facebook in which peopel aren't knowing for common sense or logic

People always moan on Facebook, I occasionaly moan on Facebook. 88 have done the best job they can, the animal scenes aren't integral to the plot or the story so it's no real biggie to me. Yes an uncut version would be good but I'm not desperate to see animals tortured. I've sat through Deep River Savages twice and it's still not a particulary film.

Creepshow 2 looks very good by the way.

Hey lady, thanks for the ride!

I'm not fussed if the animal cruelty is cut. I'm looking forward to the release

Wouldn't it be great if they'd cut all the stock footage and scenes of padding as well?

Every cannibal film would only be about 20 mins long.
