British label 88 Films has confirmed that it will add two new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: Joe Gayton's
Mind Ripper a.k.a.
The Hills Have Eyes III ((1995) and Mario Gariazzo's
Amazonia a.k.a.
White Slave (1985). The two releases will arrive on the market this summer.
Mind Ripper
Synopsis: The late great Wes Craven (
Scream) planned to produce the third in his classic
The Hills Have Eyes franchise and let his son Jonathan take the directorial reigns but a last minute title change gave us
Mind Ripper instead of
The Hills Have Eyes III.
Starring the legendary Lance Henriksen (
Aliens) as a scientist who accidentally resurrects a fully blown brain-hungry cannibal during some re-animation experiments,
Mind Ripper is a more supernatural slant on the slasher formula than the demented desert terror of
The Hills Have Eyes. Even so, fans of slice and dice delirium can expect plenty of stalking, suspense and splatter theatrics in this all-time classic of video rental violence, now finally unleashed in HD from 88 Films.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
- BRAND NEW REMASTER of the film
- Uncompressed LPCM Stereo Soundtrack
- Optional English Subtitles
- Reversible Sleeve with Alternate Artwork
STREET DATE: SUMMER 2018.
Amazonia
Synopsis: It took four years after the success of Umberto Lenzi's classic gut-ripper
Cannibal Ferrox for the Italian nasty native film to make a comeback and the first frightener to crawl out of the jungle squalor was
Amazonia, also known as
White Slave. Telling of a frequently naked western blonde (played by the gorgeous grindhouse sex symbol Elvire Audrey) who is captured, stripped and tormented by a group of jungle headhunters,
Amazonia is perfectly fitting with the sleaze and schlock that this torrid trend became known for.
Finally unleashed uncut and in high-definition by 88 Films,
Amazonia is a must-see Italian shocker that perfectly compliments the excess of such video nasty gems as
Man from Deep River and
Cannibal Holocaust.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
- BRAND NEW REMASTER AND FULLY UNCUT PRESENTATION of the film
- Uncompressed English Soundtrack
- Uncompressed Italian Soundtrack with English Subtitles
- Reversible Sleeve
STREET DATE: JUNE 25.
