I'm sure many of you know this already, but I'll mention it anyway. A new DVD label,
Shameless Screen Entertainment, is bringing out some Italian horror and giallo type titles on UK DVD. Their first releases are Fulci's The New York Ripper and The Black Cat, Deodato's Phantom of Death, Martino's Torso and Berutti's Killer Nun.
While more Italian cult releases are always welcome and I wish them all the best, I do wonder about the value of a cut version of The New York Ripper in particular, presumably missing the eyeball and nipple slicing shots. Isn't anybody in the UK interested in the film going to have the full, unexpurgated version(s) on the Anchor Bay and / or Another World Entertainment discs already?
Still, I can see myself upgrading Phantom of Death at long last...
