House On Straw Hill
Banned in Britain for thirty years,
House On Straw Hill is a shockingly violent and erotic tale of seduction, brutality and revenge. Cult movie icon Udo Kier (
Mark Of The Devil, The Theatre Bizarre) stars as a successful novelist suffering from writer's block, who rents a country cottage in the hope of finding inspiration. But the arrival of a sensual secretary, played by Linda Hayden (
Blood on Satan's Claw, Taste the Blood Of Dracula) sets in motion a chain of bizarre events that culminate in an unrestrained explosion of sex and savagery. Also known as
Exposé and condemned as a Video Nasty in the UK, this sleazy classic from Brian Smedley-Aston (
Vampyres) and co-starring the notorious Fiona Richmond - Britain's No.1 sex symbol - is now fully restored from the only uncut elements and is available for the first time in the U.S. with brand new extras.
Special Features:
- Audio Commentary with director James Kenelm Clarke and producer Brian Smedley-Aston
- All-new interviews with director James Kenelm Clarke and star Linda Hayden
