Cauldron Films will add two new titles to its catalog this April. They are: Mad Foxes (1981) and Cries and Shadows: The Return of the Exorcist (1975).

Also in April, the label will release on Blu-ray Brivido Giallo, a four-disc box set.

Mad Foxes 4K Blu-ray

Description: After playboy Hal (José Gras — Conquest) tangles with a group of bikers at a red light that leaves one of them dead, the situation violently escalates leading to a bloodbath of shootings, assaults, murder and a well deserved disMEMBERment! The carnage drives us full throttle from the streets to the countryside, with a soundtrack that will easily rock you, Mad Foxes is the ride (or die!) of a lifetime…

Directed by Paul Grau and Produced by Swiss exploitation master Erwin C. Dietrich (best known for his work with Jess Franco on films such as Jack the Ripper, Barbed Wire Dolls, and many others), Mad Foxes is an absolutely unhinged revenge film filled with all the violence, nudity, and sex you would expect with a dash of heavy metal and a star making performance from a custom Corvette Stingray! Cauldron Films has prepared Mad Foxes to be your next cult movie obsession with this worldwide UHD debut featuring a new 4K restoration w/ Dolby Vision color grade, artwork by Justin Coffee, and loaded with extras including an exclusive interview with the elusive José Gras produced by Eugenio Ercolani!

Cries and Shadows: The Return of the Exorcist

Description: After photographing a naked woman at a waterfall, and discovering she was absent from all photos, Peter (Jean-Claude Vernè) returns to the scene only to find a mysterious "Tahal" pendant that initiates a hysterical and sex-crazed possession. As Peter spirals into baffling madness, people start to die in inexplicable ways prompting Peter's nun sister, Elena (Patrizia Gori, Cry of a Prostitute), to call an exorcist (veteran actor Richard Conte — The Godfather, in his last role) to rid him of the insidious demon!
