Synopsis: An obsessed talking poodle who wants to be a man! A love-starved psychiatrist who wants to be a poodle! Sexy naked mannequins that come to life when their clothes are removed! And a house haunted by gorgeous naked ghosts that cook, water the plants, vacuum the floor, and do other domestic chores in the raw! They're just some of the crackpot phenomena investigated by "the great psychoanalyst" Dr. Sex in this wacky Nudie-Cutie cross between a skinflick and The Twilight Zone from cult director Ted V. Mikels (The Corpse Grinders), remastered from the only 35mm print around! Plus: mild-mannered Sylvester goes from being the victim of a car crash to the Sex-Toy-in-Residence when he's held prisoner by a cult of lingerie-clad sex-kittens led by Wanda the Sadistic Hypnotist! Armed with a riding crop and wild eyes, Wanda amuses herself by hypnotizing a door-to-door saleswoman into thinking she's a go-go dancer, turning a lesbian into a man-hungry nympho, and making Sylvester parade around in a leather bikini. But Wanda's party really kicks into high gear when it's invaded by a "mentally demented" maniac who not only "cannot control his emotions when he's near attractive females," but finds Wanda's secret supply of LSD.... Dive into this #60s-Style Freakout that starts when you repeat after Wanda: "I must own this DVD... I must own this DVD...!"

Synopsis: A brutal series of murders has Long Island police baffled, and it's up to tough-as-nails Inspector Cameron to solve a blood-spattered riddle which leads to an unspeakable secret.

Featuring the most harrowing chainsaw duel in film history and plenty of juicy red stuff, this cult classic from New York's underground remains a graphic, tongue in-cheek landmark in homemade horror from the 1980s, a love letter to grisly Italian thrillers and American gore epics.

“May Be The Least Politically Correct Film Ever Seen In American Theaters!”
–All Movie Guide

The Incendiary Grindhouse Classic Of Racism, Rape And Revenge.

Now Uncut And Uncensored!

Some have only heard of it as the notorious gut-cruncher in the tradition of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. Others know it as one of the few movies to ever drive even the most jaded 42nd Street audiences into uncontrollable frenzy. This is the story of three escaped convicts (led by William Sanderson of BLADE RUNNER as the sickest psycho redneck in cinema history) who take a middle-class Black family hostage for a relentless nightmare of racist humiliation, sexual violence and extreme vengeance. No sleazehound who’s seen it can ever forget FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE!

Censored across America and banned outright in Britain, FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE was released in various chopped-down versions as I HATE YOUR GUTS, STAYING ALIVE, GETTING EVEN and even THE HOSTAGE’S BLOODY REVENGE. Blue Underground presents this rarely seen shocker now fully restored from its original camera negative for an all-new look at one of the most disturbing and depraved exploitation films ever made!

Synopsis: Enter the Bizarre World of the Psycho-Sexual! Eager for a career in modeling, naive-and-not-very-bright Karen Anderson signs with a creepy brother and sister team whose Rent-a-Girl agency actually procures women for a rich and kinky clientele. Starting with posing for pictures in the nude, Karen soon graduates to being The Guest of Honor at a Special Party thrown by wealthy Harriet Grant, "a disgusting lady who enjoys whipping little girls 18 to 22." Full of sick eccentrics, the party's highlight comes when two women beat the bejesus out of Harriet before Karen is blindfolded and branded on the leg with a red hot poker! Plus: A "Sex Killer" prowls the streets of Manhattan killing hookers: "This guy is a nut! He'll grab any woman he thinks is a whore!" But when the lesbian lover of working girl Ginny Smith is strangled by the Aroused maniac, Ginny turns vigilante and, together with some of her prostitute pals, invades the creepy mannequin-filled apartment of their number-one suspect whom they plan on turning into "a boy soprano." Also: LSD causes Sebastian Gregory to tell a hooker all about how he and a bad blonde named Barbara murdered a teenage hitchhiker before he in turn hacked up Barb. The hooker thinks the acid is making him hallucinate -- until she finds blood in his bathroom and a trunk full of bones. So live dangerously and let these three strange Nudie-Noirs bring out the Freak in you!

Upcoming from Image

Synopsis: This fusion of Edgar Wallace whodunit and classic werewolf-on-the-rampage antics was created during the Golden Age of Italian horror, with striking Mario Bava-style visuals and atmospheric music by Armando Trovajoli.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synopsis: Cult director Larry Buchanan (The Naked Witch) tackles nothing less than the killing of President John F. Kennedy by showing what The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald might have been like had Oswald lived to defend himself. Filmed in Dallas shortly after the assassination -- before the results of the Warren Report and the flood of various conspiracy theories -- "the testimony, evidence, and facts that you will see and hear were obtained from public records and from eyewitnesses to the events." Surprisingly, the issue here is not whether Oswald was a lone gunman but, rather, if he was crazy or not: "The defendant suffers from a major mental disorder! Schizophrenia, paranoid type!" A fascinating glimpse into speculative history -- in which each viewer becomes a "member of the jury" -- this was briefly released to theaters in April of 1964 but according to Buchanan, "due to unwarranted pressures the picture suppressed after this first showing" and has remained virtually unseen for almost four decades. Until now.... Plus: Buchanan reveals The Other Side of Bonnie & Clyde through dramatic reenactments, an interview with a woman kidnapped by them ("They were just terrible characters!"), a discussion with a former "Public Enemy No. 1" and friend of the killer couple, and the "Actual Death Film" showing the grisly aftermath of Bonnie & Clyde's roadside execution in 1934!

 

 

 

 

Synopsis: Immortal scream queens Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens bare more than their souls in this choice cut of blood-spattered, sex-soaked cheesecake. The sultry starlets portray an unlikely trio of socially inept Ivy League losers who become possessed by a sex-starved succubus, turning them into mean, hungry monsters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synopsis: A group of scientists, army types and a buxom psychic use a variety of methods to suck a bloodthirsty alien out of another dimension. Upon arriving, the little devil blasts his way loose, taking part of a soldier#s face along the way. The psychic and her network of friends chase the beast, tracking him down for a blood-drenched finale in an underground beauty shop. Featuring a cult classic cast including Angelique Pettyjohn (Mad Doctor of Blood Island) and Aldo Ray.
