Our #releaseofthemonth for October is @filmsradiance.bsky.social release of 1973's Through And Through. We said 'it stands as one of the more bleakly distinctive and often tonally unbalancing films based on a true crime'

Black Magic Rites (aka The Reincarnation of Isabel, The Ghastly Orgies of Count Dracula) is a decidedly weird ‘n’ wacky example of the erotic euro-horror genre. The early...

Review of @thirdwindowfilms.com Blu-ray release of New Religion.'If you enjoy eerier & disquieting blends of drama, mystery, & low-key horror, then this will most certainly appeal. I very much look forward to seeing what writer/director Keishi Kondo does next.' www.musiquemachine.com/reviews/revi...

Review of 1972's Raw Meat (aka Death Line) 'It's wonderful to see this rather grim, dark humour and gore-edged British horror film getting the
Blue Underground
treatment. With a well-defined new 4k scan, and a selection of new/archive extras.'

Review of Maskhead 'a cinematic oddity- with its highly distinctive blend of monster-man horror, modelling/casting satire, & gruelling extreme torture/ gore. This #Unearthedfilms release is well & truly stacked with extras' www.musiquemachine.com/reviews/revi...
