Death Sentence DVD (James Wan - Unrated DVD)

I got a chance to watch an advance copy of this over the weekend and was so inspired that I wrote a haiku

Revenge is served hot
Quick, Move Over Sizzalean
Bacon is Angry

But seriously, I love the revenge movies of the 80s and I love Kevin Bacon, so I thought I would give this a chance. What took me by suprise is not only how tense the movie is, but also how cool the action scenes are. This isn't just a revenge film, it is a full on action movie. Plus, John Goodman turns in the creepiest performance I have seen all year. Kudos to him for being such a badass. The DVD comes with both the rated and unrated versions on one disc, and although my version said it was the rated version (which runs 10m less than the unrated), I can't believe this is true. Arms fly off, heads split open, and blood flies everywhere. If this is Rated R - then things have loosened up a bit with the MPAA, but more than likely the disc was just mismarked.

You can pre-order the disc from the link above - here is the complete disc description and specs.

Death Sentence DVD (James Wan - Unrated DVD) (NTSC Region 1)

From director James Wan (SAW) comes this balls out, ultra violent, action packed revenge movie featuring elaborate chase and action scenes along with gun fights made extra bloody by the Unrated DVD.
Nick Hume is a loving father with a perfect life, until one gruesome night he witnesses something that changes him forever. Transformed by grief, Hume eventually comes to the disturbing conclusion that no length is too great when protecting his family. Look for John Goodman in the creepiest role of his career as a scumbag gun dealer.
The DVD includes both the theatrical version and an unrated cut (which offers 10 additional minutes), as well as two making-of featurettes that originally aired on the Fox Movie Channel, and several webisodes that focus on director Wan, his cast, and the film's elaborate stunts and fight

The baby alligator fed on the dead dogs-and after twelve years its body chemistry took on grotesque mutations.

Deep in the bayous of Louisiana, amidst the dankest of whorehouses and bars, resides the decrepit Starlight Hotel.

Long time, no update!

Along with the
new stuff  we got in since the last update (and there was some really

good stuff too!) we actually restocked a bunch of things that had been
unavailable for quite sometime - what you say?

Guinea Pig - 4 Disc Boxset (NTSC All Region)- Unearthed finally got
some more, but they aren't sure what is going to happen to it once these are
gone.

Malena DVD (International Version) (NTSC All Region) - Import
International version that also happens to be NTSC All Region

Battle Royale Pt 1 & 2 Boxset DVD (NTSC All Region)  - Korean
import containing pts 1 and 2 along with a third disc of extras - plus this is
the only legit version we are aware of that is NTSC All Region

 Pan's
Labyrinth DVD (Ofelia`s Book Digipack Case) (NTSC Region 3)- The
great film in the amazing "book" packaging. We thought they were gone for good,
but we got in a few more that we had on hold!

PLUS PLUS PLUS - We have 3 great boxsets in stock at a special price for a
limited time

Spaced - Definitive Edition DVD (PAL Region 2)- All of the folks
behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz made this amazing British TV series before
jumping to the big screen.  Normally $55, but on sale for $40 while
supplies last

Shoah DVD (4 DVD Set) (PAL Region 2) - You would think that a 10
hour documentary comprised entirely of interviews about the Holocaust , but you
would be wrong. Pick up this great film on import DVD for a fraction of the US
one.

Werner Herzog - Klaus Kinski Boxset (6 DVD Anchor Bay UK) (PAL Region 2)
- We were able to get some of these Anchor Bay UK boxsets at a special price and
likely won't be able to get more at the same price. Every film in the box is a
winner (Fitzcaraldo, Nosferatu, Aguire and more) and is much cheaper than the US
version.  If you are new to the collaborations between these two, this is a
must have for any film fan and at the price, it is a bargain of great great
cinema!!

Oh and don't miss these new releases - for real!

Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus DVD (PAL Region 2)

La Jetee and Sans Soleil DVD (Criterion) (NTSC Region 1)

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon DVD (NTSC Region 1)

Criterion Collection and the latest for the director of OLDBOY

Normally we don't focus on just one label, but this past week Criterion has released 3 great, desirable arthouse films on DVD that we recommend the most!


Sweet Movie DVD (Criterion) (NTSC Region 1)
There is no film in the world quite like Dusan Makavejev`s revolutionary, offensive and gleefully joyous SWEET MOVIE that ranks with the works of Arrabal, Jodorowsky and early Matsumoto in the realm of international cinematic weirdness
Price: $24.99


if.... (Criterion) (NTSC Region 1)
Lindsay Anderson’s If. . . . is a daringly anarchic vision of British society, set in a boarding school in late-sixties England. Before Kubrick made his mischief iconic in A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell made a hell of an impression as the insouciant Mick Travis, who, along with his school chums, trumps authority at every turn, finally emerging as violent savior against the draconian games of one-upmanship played by both students and the powers that be. Mixing color and black and white as audaciously as it mixes fantasy and reality, If. . . . remains one of cinema’s most unforgettable rebel yells

WR: Mysteries of the Organism DVD (Criterion) (NTSC Region 1)
What does the energy harnessed through orgasm have to do with the state of communist Yugoslavia circa 1971? Only counterculture filmmaker extraordinaire Dušan Makavejev has the answers (or the questions). His surreal documentary-fiction collision WR: Mysteries of the Organism begins as an investigation into the life and work of controversial psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and then explodes into a free-form narrative of a beautiful young Slavic girl’s sexual liberation. Banned upon its release in the director’s homeland, the art-house smash WR is both whimsical and bold in its blending of politics and sexuality.

Don't forget Ace in the Hole DVD (Criterion - Billy Wilder) (NTSC Region 1) from Criterion next month!

For fans of Oldboy director Park Chan-wook - we have his new comedy (what!!!) I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK DVD (Park Chan-wook) (NTSC Region 1)

Glamorous Life of Zatoichi

We have a couple of exploitation classics in stock this week and a few from Japan that you probably need to check out.
First up we have Anita DVD starring Christina Lindberg from Thriller - A Cruel Picture fame and Laure DVD based on the memoir from the “real life” Emanuelle of the Emanuelle series (Wonder if she knew Pedro!)

Proof that Japan always has something great to offer is only as far as looking out the whacked out “pink film” Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai DVD (Hanai Sachiko no Karei na Shogai) or the action packed 4 disc! Zatoichi boxset released this week from Image containing 4 films from the Shintaro Katsu era of Zatoichi.

Have you not ordered if.... and Sweet Movie DVD yet? Come on! Two great subversive arthouse films both being release by Criterion in July. YEAH!!!!

Finally, we thought we were sold out of the great book Slimetime (BOOK) and our distributor has long had this listed as out of print (OOP) but we just came across a bunch hidden behind some big FAB books, so we have put them back up at regular price.

BTW, if you have downloaded HOSTEL 2 off of the internet, you should be aware that it is a different cut than the theatrical version and has been shunned by the director. Now, we are no big fans of Eli Roth here, but the fact is that the guy brings gusto to his love of horror movies and he got a studio to release a horror film in June – which never happens since it is a wasteland of Hollywood big budget slop - so do Eli a favor and check out Hostel 2 in theatres and see the cut he has intended you to see. And to the unprofessional “critic” who reviewed the bootleg on his blog, maybe you should get your facts straight before you take someone to task for something they didn’t even intend for you to see.

David Lynch's Inland Empire DVD - Available for Preorder

David Lynch's latest 3hr mind-melt INLAND EMPIRE is now available for preorder. Although it won't be available until August, we are now taking preorders at $19.99 - $10 off of the list price. 

We are huge Lynch fans here and suggest you check this one yet. Aside from
the film, the set also comes with a second disc of extras with more info about
the film and even a cooking lesson from Mr Eccentric (what, no weather forcast?). 

 

5/31/07 New and updates

Aside from the new
Bigas Luna DVD from Spain
Yo Soy la Juani  and the latest from Unearthed Films
Frankenstein's Bloody Nightmare it was a pretty slow
New Release week, but we did get in plenty of great re-stocks including the now out of print
GRAPHIC COVER AFTERMATH and the discontinued
unrated version of CHAOS

 Also TLA Releasing has repriced three titles includingMalcolm McDowell's Evilenko, the Polanski-esque
Next Door and the great and gross
Feed.

 

And don't forget to check out our Adultsection for lots of new titles as well.  We are very selective as to what we order and rather than make you wade through loads of crap, we try to bring in stuff that you may want to see from both the
Golden
Age as well as the most recent Jenna Jameson film.  Plus we have broken things down to categories such as Punk andHorror so you can find whatever you are looking for.

Thanks for looking - more to come soon

5/23/07 Updates

Crazy stuff this week that you shouldn't miss as well as some pretty great
restocks.

In the restock dept we have the Russian sensation

DEAD DAUGHTERS, which basically plays out like a variation on the RING
series, but with its own flair. And also from Russia, we have the US film

KEN PARK from Larry Clark, which has been out of stock for sometime and now
available again in its uncut glory.

For those of you that are like us, you enjoy the sleazy good ol' days of
42nd St
naughtiness so you won't want to miss two new 'grindhouse"
style collections.  These aren't always the most pristine quality, but it
is a joy to have them and I would feel really sleazy watching these things any
other way

 

Back in my video store days, I came across lots of films by the
Polonia Brothers, which were pretty bad, but so utterly enjoyable in their
crappiness - so for your pleasure we bring you

SPLATTER FARM this week. We haven't seen this one, but it has some promising
quotes from the likes of Joe Bob Briggs and
Frank
Henenlotter.

We have quite a few other things that you should certainly check
out, but before we go, we can't recommend

MEATBALL MACHINE enough. We saw it at the Philadelphia Film Festival last
year and it has stuck with us ever since.  Crazy. Japanese. Cyberpunk.
Lunacy. 

You can check out all of our new releases

LATEST ARRIVALS and our

PREORDERS through these links



 

Updates!

Lots of new and restocked items this week for you to check out. I keep forgetting that I am doing this blog now, so I keep forgetting to update it! Anway, here is what you should be aware of this week

The Shaw Bros HEAVEN AND HELL is now available domestically. It is a crazy, tripped out Horror/Kung Fu/Mash Up that even includes a musical number - but don't let that distract you because it is really something special. Definetely check this out.

We have restocked the Hong Kong Edition of ARMY OF DARKNESS which, although Region 3, blows away any other version as far as picture quality goes and we have also gotten emails from people saying that this is now out of print, so this very well may be the last batch we get.

I can also recommend to you the UK release of the harrowing Polish film THIRD PART OF THE NIGHT, and the new Kim Ki Duk (ISLE) film TIME which even has some elements of Comedy!

As always, you can check out all of our new releases here - LATEST ARRIVALS

Also, we have up some new PREORDERS this week, which included the 6/19 release of SWEET MOVIE (!!!!) from CRITERION (!!!!) and a 2 disc SE of HOT FUZZ from the UK which is sadly part of a new pricing structure over there - $50 US dollars! But we have discounted it for you as best as we can despite the weak dollar (thanks Bush).

We will be at Monster Mania this weekend, so come by and check out us out.

WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE IT'S SUPERCHARGED!

Vanishing Point 1971 / Death Proof

Those of you that enjoyed Tarantino's segment of Grindhouse DEATH PROOF, may have noticed that he name checks the 1971 car chase movie so many times that you have to wonder why he didn't just name his movie Death Point or Vanishing Proof (or for those of that didn't like the film Talk Proof). I have heard of the film, but have never seen it and since I loved Death Proof, I wanted to check out film - and at only $9.99, it is tough not to just pick it up
Vanishing Point DVD (NTSC Region 1)

Aside from a pretty kick ass car chase movie with an engaging lead, Vanishing Point also works on a few other levels, one of which is the way the film is put together and it is obvious that Tarantino loves the structure of the film which can be seen in his own films. Along with that the film also oddly works on a metaphysical midnight movie level as our hero takes sage advice from various people including a crusty old John Huston-esque desert dweller and a nude hippie biker chick. Sadly the film suffers from its own device and grows thin as a 90+ min car chase - like any film that tries to ride one note - but fortunately, it never entirely wears out its welcome and because it apsires to be more than just a car chase film, it works and works well as a 70s cult oddity that never delves into total camp. When Grindhouse makes its way to DVD, I would be curious to watch Death Proof and Vanishing Point together to see how much more they have in common than an initial viewing reveals.

Diabolik DVD - New Stuff and Restocks

We have a lot of new stuff in this week from the amazing Japanese Blind Woman's Curse to the soundtrack to the Evil Dead musical (yes, it really did run off Broadway and is on the way to Toronto) to some crusty old grindhouse softcore with a vehicular theme! The cover alone on Blind Woman should sell you, but it also comes with our recommendation. We also got in some restock Russ Meyer films - small boobies be damned!

You can check them all out here http://www.diabolikdvd.com/category/Latest-Arrivals
and specifically Blind Woman here -
Blind Woman's Curse DVD (Teruo Ishii) (NTSC Region 1)

Welcome to DiabolikDVD.com Blog

For those of you new to Diabolik DVD, we are an owner run online DVD shop that specializes in DVDs of horror, cult, arthouse and whatever strikes our fancy. We try to keep our pricing fair, run all aspects of the business ourselves and recycle just about every box and piece of packaging that comes in our door just to try to keep it green.

Anyway, why would we start a blog here rather than just on myspace and our 5000 friends? Because myspace is a total bore and most of those people are just intersted in sending us crap comments rather than seeing what is new in our shop.

So, why should you read our blog? I am ambitious today, but I sincerely hope we will continue to update this area with information about our site, new releases and the occassional special sale that you can only get from this blog.

By the way, make sure to check out www.EXHUMEDFILMS.com if you live anywhere near the Philadelphia area. We do this for fun and we certainly enjoy it, so hopefully you will too - plus Diabolik can bring you some DVDs to the show and you can save on shipping!

All the best and thanks for reading
Jesse
