Earlier this year, independent U.S. distributors Mondo Macabro
revealed that they will begin releasing on Blu-ray. Now the distributors have officially announced and detailed their first two combo pack releases: Paquale Festa Campanile's
The Slave (1969), starring Rosanna Schiaffino, Haydée Politoff, Romolo Valli, and Sean Hogan's horror film
The Devil's Business (2011), starring Billy Clarke, Jack Gordon, and Jonathan Hansler.
The Slave
Silvia (Haydee Politoff) is young, beautiful and rich. She has everything - except the bondage and humiliation she craves to fulfil her erotic yearnings. Margaret (Rosanna Schiaffino) is a legendary movie star who loves to wade thigh high in 10,000 lira bank notes - and who is only too happy to give Silvia what she wants. In a strange, secluded house in Rome, the two women create a bizarre private world where Silvia's fantasies become real, as Margaret turns her into a slave, a plaything of flesh, subject to the whims of an all powerful owner who can use her in any way she desires.
Pasquale Festa Campanile (Hitch-Hike) directs a masterpiece of decadence, packed with sumptuous and shocking images.
Pasquale Festa Campanile's credits as a writer include Luchino Visconti's
The Leopard and
Rocco And His Brothers, and Dino Risi's
Poor But Beautiful.

The Devil's Business
Veteran hitman Pinner (Billy Clarke) and his young, inexperienced ward Cully (Jack Gordon) break into a house at night, awaiting the return of owner Kist (Jonathan Hansler) whom their gangland boss Bruno (Harry Miller) wants dead, with no questions asked.
As midnight approaches, Pinner keeps the nervous Cully entertained with an eerie story about a previous hit he had carried out on a beautiful striptease dancer. Before he can finish his tale, a sound from outside the house draws them into the night, and to a horrifying discovery that plunges them into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls.
The Devil hasn't finished with them yet…
