Intensive Care

Film Skool

| Before the reckless, short-tempered surgeon Dr. Bruckner was able to continue his controversial neurological experiments, wherein he applied shock therapy on comatose patients, he wound up in a fiery head-on collision with a gasoline truck. Brought back to his own hospital, gravely wounded, he lies in a coma for seven years, until one New Year's Eve, when he suddenly awakens, ready to exact bloody vengeance fueled by his years' worth of pent-up rage. After massacring several hospital staff, Bruckner sets his sights on a young orderly named Peter, tracking him to a quiet suburban neighborhood. Blinded by cold bloodlust, anyone and everyone who crosses Bruckner's path soon meets a grisly demise, as Peter, his neighbor and her kid brother, must figure out how to survive the wrath of this deformed and demented doctor.

The feature-film debut of multi-talented Dutch director Dorna X. van Rouveroy (An Amsterdam Tale), Intensive Care is the first and only Dutch horror film directed by a woman to date. Inspired heavily by the style and structure of 80s horror, and specifically created for the export market, it would remain virtually unreleased in the English world despite becoming a hit in the Netherlands and Belgium, in part due to its casting of two Dutch teen idols, actor/TV presenter Nada van Nie and pop star Koen Wauters. Packed with dramatic, gory kills and classic slasher ambience, it features prolific veteran actor George Kennedy (Dallas) as Bruckner, as well as supporting roles played by Dolf de Vries (The 4th Man), Jules Croiset (Amsterdamned), and Dick van den Toorn (Pastorale 1943).

Vinegar Syndrome Labs is eager to revive this rollicking Euro-chiller in a new, director-supervised restoration of its English-language Director's Cut.

Charity Shop Sue

TV Times

| I've celebrated Pride month by revisiting (in nearly one sitting) Charity Shop Sue, the web series.

"In 2014, three local filmmakers in Nottingham were invited to document the life of charity shop manager Sue Tuke. In an attempt to raise the shop's profile, Sue planned to get the business 'on the net' to prevent the store from closure and become an online super star in the making. Not all went to plan as Sue’s ambitious ideas were met with obstacles from both inside and outside the shop resulting in a series of catastrophes. Sue therefore decided to not participate further in filming and the footage has not been seen… until now."

'Scuse me, laydeh! If you haven't already discovered the pleasures of Sue Tuke (Manager), now's your chance, alright, darlin'?

Beyond the Darkness

Film Skool

| It’s been condemned as “flinch-inducing” (The Terror Trap), “stomach-churning” (Horror 101) and “one of the most sickening movies ever made” (Classic Horror), while simultaneously acclaimed as “dark poetry” (Mondo Digital), “gut-fondling fun” (DVD Talk) and “an astonishing achievement” (At the Mansion of Madness). Now experience “Joe D’Amato’s horror masterpiece” (Genre Grinder) like never before, in UHD for the first time ever: Cinzia Monreale (The Beyond) and Franca Stoppi (The Other Hell) star in this psychosexual sickie featuring torture, cannibalism, necrophilia, unrequited love and other perversions, fully restored, totally uncensored and set to a pounding score by Goblin.

Severin Films is obscenely proud to present “the sordid gem that surpasses its reputation” (Daily Dead) – also known as Buried Alive and Buio Omega – scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with over 5 hours of all-new and archival Special Features.

Antropophagus

Film Skool

| Those with intestinal fortitude know it’s “truly jaw-dropping” (Bloody Disgusting), “surprisingly thrilling” (Confluence of Cult) and “a must-see gut-muncher” (DVD Talk). It was condemned as a Video Nasty and accused of being an actual snuff film. Yet even by ‘80s Italian gore-spewing standards, this grueling shocker from sleaze maestro Joe D’Amato still stands as perhaps the most controversial – and extreme – spaghetti splatter epic of them all, now in UHD for the first time ever in North America. Tisa Farrow, Zora Kerova and co-writer/producer George Eastman/Luigi Montefiori star in this depraved daddy of cannibal carnage from “Italy’s King of Trash Sinema” (Horrorpedia) in both its original theatrical and extended Italian version – which incorporates a never-before-seen sequence obtained through Rome underworld contacts – plus the U.S. theatrical cut The Grim Reaper, all scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with Special Features that include a new archival interview with D’Amato.
