That’s a completely unprocessed negative scam, not a single touch of dvnr...... sigh.... ever though she might not be the focus of that frame?

'Paranoia' is available for pre-order at 88Films Direct - £14.99

Release date: January 27th

"Double crosses, murder and madness... such things are the hallmarks of giallo and Paranoia is a fine example of the form.

Carol Baker (Baby Doll, Orgasmo) is Helen, a race car driver whose life has hit the skids. She's invited to spend the weekend with her ex-husband Maurice (Jean Sorel, Belle de Jour, Short Night of the Glass Dolls) and his wife Constance (Anna Proclemer, Journey to Italy, Illustrious Corpses). Constance wants the feckless Maurice dead and she'd like Helen to help. A plan is drawn up, but things are never so simple in the twisted world of the giallo...

Directed by genre kingpin Umberto Lenzi (Eyeball, Spasmo), 88 Films are proud to present the UK blu ray premiere of a true exploitation classic."

'Brothers Till We Die' is available for pre-order at 88Films Direct - £14.99

Release date: January 24th

"Before he became king of the cannibal movie, Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox, Eaten Alive) specialised in another sort of savagery...

Brothers Till We Die is a hard-as-nails crime flick with the very great Tomas Milian (Syndicate Sadists, Django Kill) doing double duty as lookalike brothers – Il Gobbo ('the Hunchback') and Er Monnezza, both of them up to no good. A robbery is planned but the boys are betrayed; you'd better believe that revenge is on the way, served up as only Lenzi can.

A follow up to Lenzi's earlier Rome Armed To The Teeth, Brothers Till We Die is one of the best of the Poliziotteschi cycle – the tough Italian action movies that gave Clint Eastwood such a run for his money is the seventies. 88 Films are proud to present the UK blu-ray premiere of this ruthless classic."

'Heroes Shed No Tears' is available for pre-order at 88Films Direct - £14.99

Release date: January 24th

"Before Hard Boiled, before The Killer – there was Heroes Shed No Tears.

Master Director John Woo (A Better Tomorrow, Face/ Off) travelled to Thailand to make this fast-paced action classic. A group of mercenaries are sent into the so-called 'Golden Triangle' to capture a drug baron, but nabbing him is the easy bit. He's not going to go quietly: with both by gangsters and the army on the tail, this wild bunch is going to need all the help it can get...

No one has ever filmed gunplay as well as Woo and this was the first film that showed what he could do with a semi-automatic. Filmed with the same mastery of action that made Hard Target and A Bullet in the Head such classics, 88 Films are proud to present this blu-ray premiere of a seminal action classic."
