By the time that police inspector Stacev arrives at the eerie Budapest flat of three beguiling sisters to investigate one of the girls’ claim to have found a butchered body in their washing machine, the corpse has disappeared. Piqued as much by the potential foul play as by the mischievous sisters, our detective becomes entangled in their web of sexual obsession and deadly treachery: Each sister spinning a different versions of events – including warped stories of cannibalism (what else!) – whilst seducing the non-too-reluctant officer! Deodato cycles through truly inventive, stylish and very hot sex scenes… until an arresting climax! Will it all come out in the wash?

From the writing team behind the vicious ‘n’ delicious New York Ripper and Ruggero Deodato, the director of the hunger-inducing Cannibal Holocaust, comes this star filled frenzy of brutal vengeance. Michael York (Austin Powers) stars as piano virtuoso Robert Dominici who suddenly contracts a devastating disease that ages him rapidly. With death closing in fast, a decaying Robert abandons tinkling the ivories to instead embark on an arpeggio of vicious slaughter upon anyone who finds out about his impending gruesome fate! Closing in fast to try and end this crescendo of violence is Police Inspector Datti, played by the seasoned psychopath chasing Donald Pleasence (Halloween). Will he solve this mystery? Not before you’ve enjoyed a long and lingering symphony of superbly gory set pieces!

Alex (Hess) is a psychopath and his friend Ricky (Giovanni L Radice) an easily led simpleton. When the unlikely pair are invited to an upscale house party where they are ridiculed by their debauched young hosts, Alex decides that he and his straight edged razor deserve some fun. Together the two streetwise punks take the unprepared partygoers on a journey of violence, debasement and forced sex. And that’s before events turn really nasty…

Deodato’s unwavering gritty direction keeps the tension unbearably tight and the psychological nuances of Hess and Radice’s powerhouse performances deliver uncomfortably challenging scenes so close to the bone that this originally banned Video Nasty remains one of the most contentious pictures in UK censorship history.

If it ain’t Shameless it ain’t Deodato

Shameless proudly presents the CINEMA-OF-DEATH anthology of Ruggero Deodato.

The artwork of this Boxset has been exclusively created for Shameless by top British film poster artist Graham Humphreys.

We present two versions of  CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST the most controversial film ever made: A unique Director’s re-edit (shown 1st in London’s West-End) which tones down the animal cruelty (to fit better with 21st Century sensibilities) without shortening the film. The other is the full strength 80s dish! Very strong stuff – especially because of its unsurpassed, documentary-like, extremely realistic depiction of gory violence. With this landmark film Deodato single-handedly invented the ‘found-footage’ genre (imitated by Blair Witch et al). Often imitated, this is The Original and unequalled best.

THE HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK also a Video Nasty, this claustrophobic staging of a vicious home-invasion scenario explodes into slasher torture hell, with star David Hess giving one of the strongest performances of his career and Deodato a master-class in directing, proving again that under the blood and guts there is a brilliant filmmaker formed by Neo-realism.
[Extras: Deodato & star Giovanni Lombardo Radice in a public debate with senior BBFC examiner. Plus a last in-depth interview with the late David Hess].

In THE PHANTOM OF DEATH Deodato’s unwavering directing meets a barnstorming performance from Michael York (Cabaret, Austin Powers) as the pianist virtuoso who suddenly starts ageing at an alarming speed – progeria, a devastating real-life affliction. With death closing in fast, the pianist loses his mind in a murderous frenzy of brutal hackings.. Edwige Fenech and Donald Pleasence co-star.
