88 Films is ready to slay you with three new Slasher Classics. The only UK label to have a line dedicated to the deranged delirium of the golden age of slice and dice, 88 Films is ready to unleash a certified teen-tormenting gem in the timeless terror title HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW (1983). Remade as a Carrie Fisher-starring blockbuster in 2009, this original effort - about a dorm prank gone wrong and the terrible consequences - doubtlessly inspired such later revenge-flicks as I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. A trendsetting genre template, HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW is the latest in our Slasher Classics line.

Next up is SLAUGHTERHOUSE ROCK (1988) - an atmospheric and thoroughly eighties outing that mixes the malevolence of a claustrophobic Alcatraz setting with the newfound supernatural thrills of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. As with such other late-period trap 'em and stalk 'em shockers, such as BAD DREAMS, the stylish SLAUGHTERHOUSE ROCK is part-ghoulish ghost story and part-creepy slasher carnage and 88 Films is proud to present this plasma-stained pot boiler in full HD.

Finally comes SWEET SIXTEEN - one of the defining early eighties offerings that features a coming-of-age tale that is packed full of sharp-edged surprises and shocking small town spine-tinging terror. Featuring a standout role from the iconic Dana Kimmell (FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3), and a soundtrack that positively oozes with the decade's chart schmooze, SWEET SIXTEEN is a stab-a-thon marathon that is finally given a British HD debut!

Extras, booklets (by slasher academic Calum Waddell) and more to be announced!!"

You gave it a 'like'!!

I spoke to them on Twitter a couple of days ago to ask about stock for upcoming releases and The Brave Archer will be available on Monday. Navajo Joe has been put back until February 2018, but it will be released on Blu-ray and DVD.

Yeah I noticed Navajo has recently had a blu release elsewhere - Germany I think so a HD master now exists for it. If it's not rights it's the transfers that seem to hold up Italian titles. I wonder if that's why Severin's Italian roster is like a slow trickle?

Forgot about the German release. It’s out in Japan as well. Both uncut btw.

So Toolbox will hopefully be out before the end of 2017 and Cat is more than likely going to be 2018 at this point.

"Just a heads up that The Toolbox Murders, The Brave Archer, The Package and Eve of Destruction are all landing at the same time next week on Blu-ray and DVD so keep an eye on our website for them to become live...

Also just to let you know we’ve finally managed to land a pretty cool deal for 4 Italian titles so don’t worry about the lack of new announcements recently, new quality Italian title are in the works....."

Looking at comments on FB, it seems that 88Films are only releasing the first film in the 'Brave Archer' series, with no future plans for the others
