Cradle Of Fear — Cradle Of Fear ( Blu Ray)

From the early 2000s, Cradle Of Fear is an extremely gory and fairly sleazy SOV anthology film from the UK, trying to recapture the spirit of the likes of the films put out in the 70/early 80’s by Amicus and Tigon. It features Dani Filth (of Cradle of Filth), as our sinister-yet- largely silent bridging character. It’s certainly got a lot of impressive/ gruelling gore, but the surrounding acting/ production is decidedly mixed/ cheap in places, so you have to ready/ open to this. Here from Unearthed, those uncovers of extreme/ brutal film is a double region A Blu-ray of the film- the first disc features the film & extras, and on the second a selection of short films by the same director.

Nothingness — Godslaughter

Matching the upheaval and frantic political climate of their city, Minneapolis death merchants Nothingness, churn forth devastating brutality that is as complex and beautiful as it is punishing. Their third full-length, Godslaughter, continues the band's discourse in dissonance and "digressive death," pushing their envelope further and building a following along the way. Wonderfully captured by Adam Tucker, Godslaughter is a great look at the inner workings of Nothingness, their ethos, power, and drive to capture their "digressive" brand of death metal.

Creative ‘n’ Inventive sleaze- The world of Roman Porno

Jasper Sharp interview

In the year 1971, Nikkatsu, the oldest/ at one point, the biggest film production company in Japan. Did something quite daring/ some would say crazy- they completely switched over their production to softcore adult films, which would become known as Roman Porno. Between 1971 and 1988, the company produced around 850 of these titles. The thing that made these films stand out from general softcore films is the often creative & inventive choices made- yes, the films primal focus is sleaze, but great examples of the genre are so much more than that. In the last year or so, there has been a spate of reissues of films in the genre from labels such as 88 Films, Third Window Films, and Klubb Super 8. One of the key figures/contributors behind these releases is Jasper Sharp- one of the world's experts on the genre, and the wider Pink genre it’s connected to. Jasper kindly agreed to give us an email interview discussing his history with the genre, his contributions to releases, and the new/updated edition of his book Behind The Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema on Fab Press.
