The 88 Films Thread

[Susan Foreman]

Blind Date - Pre-order available from Amazon UK - £14.99

Release date: January 25th

"Nothing to do with Our Cilla – this Blind Date is an altogether tougher proposition, as you'd expect from exploitation ace Nico Mastorakis (In The Cold of the Night, Island of Death). After losing his sight, Ad Exec Jon Ratcliff (Joseph Bottoms, The Black Hole) is fitted with an experimental device that partially returns his vision. Only...

Although he can't 'see' very much, one night he catches a glimpse of a notorious killer. Is it enough to find the psycho? And can he do it before the murderer catches up with him? One of Mastorakis' best (and bloodiest) films, the cast includes Kirstie Alley (Cheers), Marina Sirtis (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey). 88 Films are sure you'll have a lorra, lorra fun with this lost classic from the slasher golden age."

Got to give it to nico, aside from island of death I'd not think I know anyone who has ever spoken of any of his others productions and yet he's been able to sell them to uk companies more than any other independent producer/director

Great that the Slasher collection rolls on!

Kirstie Alley when there was only one of her!

I wonder why they haven't announced the other films e.g. Short Circuit 2

Might pick them up on a deal, don't think they're worth the full price.

I also wonder why 88 and other cult labels don't put a trailer reel on their releases. Surely if they can attract someone who isn't a follower of their releases and picks up a film that they know e.g. their forthcoming Nowhere To Run maybe putting trailers for Grandmother's House, New Year's Evil and maybe their Jackie Chan releases..etc might get them to want to get these films when normally they wouldn't think about getting them.

Shameless do one

I might be way off, but looks like Paul Shipper artwork. He's heavily influenced by the great Drew Struzan.

Yeah, he’s a fantastic artist, he did the art for Arrows RoboCop LE
