Journey to the Center of the Earth a.k.a. Where Time Began
Description: Continuing an illustrious tradition that began in the earliest days of cinema, Juan Piquer Simón - the writer/director of PIECES and EXTRA TERRESTRIAL VISITORS - and Severin Kids now bring one of Jules Verne's greatest works to Blu-ray: Kenneth More (of A NIGHT TO REMEMBER and SCROOGE fame) stars as the leader of a 19th-century expedition to the Earth's core that will reveal primordial wonders, prehistoric monsters and a subterranean civilization that may convey the greatest discovery of all. Frank Brańa (SLUGS) and Jack Taylor (Jess Franco's COUNT DRACULA) co-star in this "enchanting film that provides genuine entertainment" (Cinema Retro) - also known as WHERE TIME BEGAN - scanned in 4K from the original negative AND PRESENTED ON 1080p Blu-ray for the first time ever.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Sexual Story of O
Description: THE WORLDWIDE BLU-RAY PREMIERE With a crew of three, cast of five and minimal budget from Golden Films Internacional, writer/director Jess Franco combined elements of his own COUNTESS PERVERSE and EUGENIE with the extremes of de Sade for a startling tale of aristocratic depravity: When a vacationing nymphet (Alicia Príncipe of NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND DESIRES) is seduced by an amoral couple, she'll be sold into a nightmare of desire, degeneracy and a climax of carnal torment that remains one of the most disturbing sequences in Uncle Jess' entire '80s oeuvre. Carmen Carrión (THE HOUSE OF LOST WOMEN), Mauro Rivera (BLACK CANDLES) and Mari Carmen Nieto (MANSION OF THE LIVING DEAD) co-star in this beautifully decadent dream of corruption (SexGoreMutants), now presented in HD for the first time ever.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Description: When Golden Films Internacional requested he make an alluring Emmanuelle film, writer/director Jess Franco instead held a dark mirror to the series' sunny fantasies of sexual freedom: When a violent assault upends her uninhibited lifestyle, Emmanuelle (beautiful Muriel Montossé of Franco's CECILIA and DEVIL HUNTER) chooses to pursue a perverse odyssey of machismo, repression and erotic degradation. Familiar '80s Franco faces and bodies including Carmen Carrión (SEXUAL STORY OF O), Antonio Mayans (BAHIA BLANCA), Asunción Calero (THE HOUSE OF LOST WOMEN) and Tony Skios (NIGHT OF OPEN SEX) co-star in this sure-fire treasure for Franco fans (SexGoreMutants) - also known as EMMANUELLE EXPOSED - presented in HD for the first time ever.
