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.

What Have You Done to Solange?

Film Skool

| It’s been called a “one-of-a-kind giallo” (The Digital Bits) that “delivers shocks with the precision of a Swiss watch” (Starburst). More than 50 years later, the stunner “that remains massively disturbing at a deeper level” (Scream Magazine) is uncut in UHD for the first time ever: When a series of brutal sex murders rocks an all-girls Catholic college, suspicion falls on a philandering professor (Fabio Testi of Contraband) whose own investigation will uncover a conspiracy of depravity.

Cristina Galbó (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie) and Camille Keaton (of I Spit On Your Grave infamy) in her film debut) co-star in “one of the classics of the genre” (DVD Talk) – also known as The School That Couldn't Scream, Who's Next? and Terror In The Woods – directed by Massimo Dallamano (What Have They Done To Your Daughters?) featuring masterful cinematography by Joe D’Amato and a legendary score by Ennio Morricone, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 6 hours of Special Features and Bonus Soundtrack CD.

The Manitou

Film Skool

| Following his success with Grizzly (1976) and Day of the Animals (1977), producer/director William Girdler bought the film rights to the best-selling novel by Graham Masterton for what would become the most ambitious film of Girdler’s career… and a commercial triumph he would never live to see: Academy Award® nominee Tony Curtis leads an all star cast – including Michael Ansara, Susan Strasberg, Stella Stevens, Ann Sothern and Burgess Meredith – in this infamous ‘70s saga of tarot card hustlers, enormous neck tumors, a 400-year-old reincarnated medicine man and naked demon space laser battles that has been called everything from “a thoroughly entertaining supernatural extravaganza” (The Spinning Image) and “a fascinating experience” (DVD Beaver) to “a deliriously ill-advised oddity” (Indiewire) and “as crazy as it sounds and then some” (AV Club).

Misquamacus says “this truly underappreciated gem” (Rock! Shock! Pop!) is now scanned in 4K from the 35mm interpositive by StudioCanal for the first time ever with over 3 hours of all-new and archival Special Features.

The Perros Callejeros Trilogy

Film Skool

| Cine Quinqui – pronounced ‘kinky’ and short for quincallero, slang used to describe juvenile delinquents – was a series of neorealist dramas depicting the teenage crimewave that plagued post-Franco Spain. And while more than 30 Quinqui movies were produced between 1977 and 1985, the genre was defined – alongside Eloy de la Iglesia’s Navajeros/El Pico films – by this shocking urban trilogy from writer/director José Antonio de la Loma: Recognised as the original Quinqui, Perros Callejeros features a star-making performance by real-life street felon Ángel Fernández Franco as charismatic young hoodlum El Torete.

De la Loma’s adolescent antihero returns in Perros Callejeros II to battle an increasingly brutal world of robberies, prison and vengeance. In Los Últimos Golpes De El Torete, the titular gangster joins forces with the equally notorious El Vaquilla for a rampage that turns violent criminals into pop culture idols. Frank Braña (Pieces), Marta Flores (The House By The Edge of the Lake), Xabier Elorriaga (Thesis) and Bernard Seray (The Devil's Honey) co-star – along with dozens of actual quinquis – in these groundbreaking action hits, now scanned in 4K from their original camera negatives with English subtitles.

Some Nights I Feel Like Walking

Film Skool

| A rich teenage runaway and a group of street hustlers who both seek to find a place for themselves in the world.

In the seedy underbelly of Manila, teenage runaway Zion links up with a group of queer street hustlers who lead him on a heated journey of self-discovery in the tempting and dangerous nocturnal city. Petersen Vargas’s propulsive, erotic drama, Some Nights I Feel Like Walking, artfully utilises a roadtrip structure to disguise what becomes “a beautiful rumination on the significance of chosen family in the queer community, and the lengths we sometimes have to go to to achieve it.” (Frameline)

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker

Film Skool

| Directed by William Asher (Bewitched, Muscle Beach Party), Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker lifts key elements of Oedipus and Psycho and runs them through a grindhouse blender—the result is both sleazy and cathartic. Susan Tyrrell plays an over-the-hill sex bomb way too interested in her nephew, played by the baby-faced Jimmy McNichol. The supporting cast (including a jaw-dropping performance from Bo Svenson) ensured its cult status.

The Boys in the Band

Film Skool

| Harold (Leonard Fray, Fiddler on the Roof) is turning 32 and his friend Michael (Kenneth Nelson, Off-Broadway’s The Fantasticks) is hosting a party for him in his Upper East Side apartment in New York City. The party guests—Emory (Cliff Gorman, All That Jazz), Donald (Frederick Combs), Bernard (Reuben Greene, Mikey and Nicky), Hank (Laurence Luckinbill, Such Good Friends), Larry (Keith Prentice, Cruising) and “Cowboy Tex” (Robert La Tourneaux), who is also Harold’s gift from Michael—all arrive to Michael’s apartment. Like Harold and Michael, the party guests are all gay men. That is, until Michael’s straight friend Alan (Peter White, TV’s All My Children) unexpectedly crashes the party. As the night gets longer, and the guests get more inebriated, the festivities turn darker and raw emotions surface.

Adapted for the screen by Mart Crowley, from his groundbreaking play of the same name, The Boys In the Band is a pivotal film in the early career of director William Friedkin, released just a year shy of The French Connection, which would award him an Oscar for Best Director. The ensemble cast of the controversial Off-Broadway play reprised their roles on screen, many acting on camera for the first time. The Boys In the Band is often regarded as one of the first films from a major studio to explicitly feature openly gay characters, with Crowley’s colorful language fueled text offering profanities that many moviegoers hadn’t heard in a film prior.

Cinématographe is proud to bring this essential landmark of queer cinema to 4K UHD for the first time in the world, from a brand new 4K restoration of its original camera negatives.
