Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story Blu-ray Detailed

British label 88 Films has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Mario Gariazzo's film Amazonia (1985), starring Elvire Audray, Andrea Coppola, Rik Battaglia, Pat Starke, and Will Gonzales. The release will be available for purchase on August 20.

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.
