Posted December 9, 2019 02:32 PM by Webmaster

Mondo Macabro has detailed two upcoming Blu-ray releases: Umberto Lenzi's An Ideal Place to Kill a.k.a. Oasis of Fear (1971) and Gilberto Martínez Solares' Satanico Pandemonium (1975). The two releases are expected to arrive on the market in early February.

An Ideal Place to Kill

Synopsis: Two free-spirited teenagers, Dick and Ingrid (Ray Lovelock and Ornella Muti), set out to spend the summer together in Italy. To pay their way they sell Scandinavian porn mags and nude pictures of Ingrid. But then they get busted by the cops and are given 24 hours to leave the country.

Instead of leaving they take to the road, where they come up against a thieving biker gang and then are mistaken for a pair of bank robbers. Heading south in a hurry, they run out of gas in the middle of nowhere and take refuge in the house of Barbara Slater (Irene Papas) a seemingly bored middle-aged housewife who appears to be up for some sexual shenanigans. The naïve pair party with Barbara but soon discover that she is hiding a terrible and deadly secret.

Directed by the legendary Umberto Lenzi of Cannibal Ferox fame, this sexy thriller in the Italian "giallo" style is a taut and suspense-filled entertainment with a deviously twisted plot and all the trappings of the "hippie" 1970s, Euro-style.

Satanico Pandemonium

Synopsis: In the spirit of Ken Russel's The Devils this is one of the most subversive, violent and shocking films ever made about the religious life. With a stunning performance from the often naked Cecilia Pezet, the film inspired the Salma Hayek character in Tarantino script of From Dusk Till Dawn.

Sister Maria is known in the convent for her good works and charity. But in the secret depths of her sexual fantasies, she is tormented by visions of another world - a world where her forbidden passions are allowed to run free. Starring Enrique Rocha, Cecilia Pezet, and Delia Magaña.
