Sex and Fury
The year is 1905—powerful players from across the globe are all vying for a piece of the pie in Japan's booming industrial revolution. But none of them can ever hope to gamble like Ocho Inoshika, a petty thief who returns home to fulfill a man's dying wish. In the process, she discovers that the nation's would-be leaders have something they're looking to cover up—her father's murder. Now that all the major players are seated around the poker table, a vengeful Ocho lies in wait with a killer hand up her sleeve.
The righteous Reiko Ike (Female Yakuza Tale) stars in this visceral and lust-filled slice of Pinky Violence! Featuring Swedish glamour model Christina Lindberg (Thriller - A Cruel Picture), Director Norifumi Suzuki's (School of the Holy Beast) naked ambition dominates the screen in a stunning new transfer of Ocho Inoshika's first rampage—laid bare in high definition with the original Japanese language and English subtitles!
STREET DATE: MAY 28.
Belladonna of Sadness 4K Blu-ray
The stunning cult classic on both Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray.
Jeanne had hoped that her wedding day would be a dream—a shining light through the oppressive fog of Dark Age France. Yet, that fantasy was horrifically ripped apart on her wedding night. While trying to survive in her waking nightmare, Jeanne encounters an impish apparition who offers to grant her power beyond her wildest wishes. But as the belladonna's influence grows, so does the tragedy lying in wait to trample her. The great Eiichi Yamamoto weaves a tapestry of harrowing horrors and psychedelically sexual visions in the final entry of Mushi Production's Animerama trilogy.
STREET DATE: MAY 28.
Hurricane Polymar
After a few years on the road as a world warrior, private eye Takeshi Yoroi returns home to face his greatest battle yet! When three state-of-the-art combat suits are stolen by terrorists, a secret task force presents the reluctant gumshoe with their best chance of fighting back—a fourth suit that only responds to his voice. With his Hurricane Kenpo now supercharged, it's up to Takeshi and a would-be Sherlock to track down the missing suits before all hell breaks loose!
Director Koichi Sakamoto (Power Rangers, Ultraman Geed) unleashes an electrifying storm of hard-hitting action in this tokusatsu reimagining of Tatsunoko Production's (Speed Racer, Gatchaman) iconic hero! Filled to the brim with slapstick shenanigans, heart- warming moments, and a whole bucket of lightning legs, Hurricane Polymar makes landfall on Blu-ray! Presented in high definition with the original Japanese language, and English subtitles!

After all, she knows that a new day is always just around the corner!
