Cauldron Films will issue standard retail editions of Sergio Martino's American Rickshaw (1989) and Luciano and Nicolás Onetti's Abrakadabra (2018). Currently, the two releases are set to arrive on the market on December 15.
American Rickshaw
Synopsis: After a stripper tricks him into filming a sex tape, Scott Edwards (Olympic Gold Medalist Mitch Gaylord), a Miami rickshaw runner, becomes embroiled in the murder of an evangelist's son when he inadvertently takes the wrong video tape. With the help of the stripper and an Asian witch, Edwards sets out to clear his name while avoiding the assassin dead set on retrieving the video tape. Directed by Italian genre legend Sergio Martino (All the Colors of the Dark) and Written by Sauro Scavolini (A Man Called Blade) with a story by Roberto Leoni (Santa Sangre) this late 80s Miami-lensed Action/Horror hybrid has only ever been available on VHS in the US in a muddy full screen presentation. Featuring all of the action, nudity and bizarre practical effects you can handle, Cauldron Films is proud to present American Rickshaw (aka American Tiger / American Risciň), in all of its sun drenched glory, with a brand new 2k scan sourced from the original camera negative as their inaugural release! Starring Mitchell Gaylord, Daniel Greene (Elvira Mistress of the Dark, Me, Myself and Irene, Hands of Steel), Victoria Prouty, and Donald Pleasance (Halloween, Freakmaker) Music by Luciano Michelini (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Silent Action, Screamers). Directed by Sergio Martino (Torso, The Scorpion with Two Tails). Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: Thirty years after his father is tragically killed during a magic trick gone wrong, Lorenzo's own magic act is suddenly derailed by a series of gruesome magic themed murders. Struggling to prove his innocence, he begins to unravel the mystery that leads him through an intricate, bloody trail all the way back to his father's demise. Filled with a pulsing Goblin-esque soundtrack, 70s atmosphere and all the earmarks of a classic Giallo, ABRAKADABRA at once pays homage to the bloody films of Dario Argento and Sergio Martino, while firmly taking its own place in the genre alongside its companion films in the Onetti Brothers' Giallo Trilogy: FRANCESCA and SONNO PROFONDO.
