Shameless Strands

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Right so we need to get cracking on sorting out future Shameless releases. There are no shortage of great suggestions on the forums already and we've looked, are looking, will look at them all - it's just such a slow process - it drives us as mad as it must for you guys too but we've been using the time well to improve our up-coming titles - more information on them very soon.

What I wanted to touch on are strands we should explore... or not! I want us to keep putting out horror and thrillers but what other genres in Italian films do we all feel need better servicing? For me I would like us to look into an action strand for instance. Surely someone out there must want a copy of Thunder or Strike Commando - or is that just me?

More Poliziottesci movies would be a nice touch, mate

Good man! What about all those italian post apocalypse action fests,still a few of them to be released.How about atlantis interceptors,rome 2033: the fighter centurions,exterminators of the year 3000,endgame,plus plenty more.
A great wee subgenre all of their own.
I'd buy all of these in a heartbeat,so theres one sale anyways.

American horror's the way to go methinks.....if not and it's action,then you gotta get FINAL MISSION Almar.......

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

This is the one here-a cheezy FIRST BLOOD rip off....dig that artwork though

I'd love to see more obscure horror titles get the Shameless treatment but I'd be perfectly happy if you went down the action route, especially seen as you mentioned Strike Commando Be great to see that get a DVD release. I think that going with films like this might pay off at the moment aswell what with the big Rambo resurgence since the new film came out, they might attract more casual film buyers as opposed to say just horror fans.

Poliziottesci like Lenzi's Rome Armed to the Teeth, Deadato's Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man, Martino's Violent Professional or Di Leo's Milano calibro 9 would be great. Post-apocalyptic movies are also fun: Castellari's The Bronx Warriors, Martino's 2019: After the Fall of New York, and all the others.

Personally, I'm more interested in rarities, whatever the genre: Questi's Death Laid an Egg, Fulci's Beatrice Cenci, ...

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Yeah,under a SHAMELESS rarities label,you could release a mixture of genres that are long forgotten.....
