The Mutilator Arrow Films Blu Ray Review

The Mutilator is one of those slasher movies that everyone remembers  the awesome VHS cover Artwork but could never find the film. Made at the tail end of the slasher hey dey The Mutilator belongs right there with all the other slasher classics of the late 70's and early 80's as one of the great slasher movies. It was many years that had gone by in which tons of horror fans had to turn to VHS get a cheap VCR and indulge if they wanted to see this film unless you were lucky enough to catch it another way.
I did just that and still have my VHS copy to this day, but I like many other anxiously awaited its hopeful one day Blu ray or DVD release & it finally came Thank you Arrow Films who have done an amazing job and have gone out of there way and put 110% into bringing you an amazing package. Not only does the film look amazing but the special features all the pics and research they did shows they really care about giving you an amazing product.  The Mutilator tells the tale of a young boy that accidently kills his mother.... Fast fwd years later a group of young kids have decided to party in dads old hang out by the beach where all this happened  & judging by the artwork for the film you can just use your imagination on what happens next. That brings us to the Special FX a lot of people may not know Anthony Showe who is given Top Bill on the VHS Cover for F/X also worked on Chopping Mall, Freddy's Revenge, Satan's Storybook, & Saturday the 14th so the F/X in the Mutilator absolutely delivers. I would recommend picking this up and that any & all horror fans really take a look at Arrow films and what they have to offer, they are really putting out some great stuff.

Delirium Magazine...Print is NOT Dead!

I wanted to do this article on behalf of all horror fans including myself, I can only speak really for me, but if you grew up with Fangoria then you will know what I mean. As a kid I was always fascinated with horror films especially growing up in the heart of the Industry Los Angeles where there was no shortage of movie theaters and Drive ins. I was lucky enough to see many Genre classics in theaters. As I got older I thought I was the only Horror fan. I would go rent four or five horror movies on VHS everyday & invite friends over, it was a lot of fun but they always asked me why I don't rent anything else, needless to say I enjoy all genres of film. So when I picked up a copy of  Fangoria Magazine it was then I knew I wasn't alone and that there were many horror fans out there in the world. I remember reading the magazine everyday as it inspired me to one day make my own films. I became infatuated with reading Fangoria and learning about who directed what & who did the Special F/x on all these films I was into, Fangoria provided me with that knowledge. Fast Fwd it is now 2016 & I still am a Huge Horror fan I have gone on to make 5 films all which are in distribution, I have been lucky enough to have had my name mentioned in Fangoria , Rue Morgue, GoreZone & Delirium. It was an absolute honor. Chris Alexander former editor of Fangoria & now currently with Delirium and http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/ has done two features on my films, & being an avid reader of all Horror Mags it was a great honor have been interviewed by someone who is very dedicated to the genre in several ways Film , Music, Writing ect.... So why did I choose to write a review of Delirium, At first I thought this was going to be a magazine only dedicated to Full Moon & Charles Band films but I was 100% wrong, Delirium Magazine Covers anything Horror & does a great job at doing so featuring  lots of knowledge  which enables fans like myself to continue to learn about the genre I love so much. The magazine is very informative & has an amazing layout, every page is exciting & you cant wait to see whats on each one as you flip through the pages. You will Get indie news, mainstream news and everything in between. Personally I love Print and tangible media & It saddens me to see physical media dying. Which if you are anything like me then you know we need to support Delirium magazine with all our Blood, You not only get great covers but you get great content as well. Lets Keep Print Alive. you can check out there website at

More Killer Titles Coming from Arrow

New from Arrow Video US

The Swinging Cheerleaders [Blu-ray + DVD] (July 5th)

Crimes Of Passion [Blu-ray + DVD] (July 12th)

Female Prisoner Scorpion: The Complete Collection [Blu-ray + DVD] (July 26th)

via MVD Entertainment Group

MVD Entertainment Group furthers the distribution of Arrow Video in the US with several new titles in July... The Swinging Cheerleaders [Blu-ray + DVD] (July 5th) They gave it all for their team... Jack Hill spent the seventies specialising in tough female characters. He made movies about girl gangs (Switchblade Sisters) and women in prison (The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage), turned Pam Grier a star with Coffy and Foxy Brown, and contributed to the Cheerleaders line of drive-in favourites with The Swinging Cheerleaders. Kate, an undergraduate at Mesa University, goes undercover as a cheerleader for her college newspaper in order to expose 'female exploitation in contemporary society'. But instead of oppression she finds love, friendship and a bigger fish to fry: corruption in the football team, headed up by the coach and his pals. A favorite of Quentin Tarantino, who screened it at the very first Tarantino Film Fest, The Swinging Cheerleaders features a cast of cult favourites including Colleen Camp (Wayne's World, Game of Death), Rainbeaux Smith (Caged Heat, The Incredible Melting Man) and future Playmate of the Month Rosanne Katon. BONUS MATERIALS - Brand new 2K restoration from original film materials - High Definition (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD Presentations - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing - Audio commentary by writer-director Jack Hill, recorded exclusively for this release - Brand new interview with Jack Hill - Archive interview with cinematographer Alfred Taylor - Archive interview with Hill and Johnny Legend - Q&A with Hill, and actors Colleen Camp and Rosanne Katon recorded at the New Beverly Cinema in 2012 - TV spots - Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Graham Humphreys - Illustrated booklet containing new writing by Cullen Gallagher (first pressing only) Complete product details, hi res art, etc. can be found HERE. Pre-order at the MVD SHOP or on Amazon Crimes Of Passion [Blu-ray + DVD] (July 12th) She is watched. She is worshipped. And she must remain a mystery. In the early eighties British enfant terrible Ken Russell travelled to America and placed his unorthodox imprint on a pair of US movies. The first was the Altered States, so out-there its screenwriter disowned it. The second was the equally crazy Crimes of Passion, starring Kathleen Turner (Body Heat, Serial Mom) at the height of her powers. Fashion designer Joanna Crane (Turner) leads a double life. By night she is China Blue, a prostitute who's attracted the unwanted attention of two men. One is a sexually frustrated private detective hired by her employees. The other is psychopathic priest (played by Norman Bates himself, Anthony Perkins) in possession of a murderous sex toy. With its outré screenplay by Barry Sandler and over the top score by Rick Wakeman, Crimes of Passion may just be the most outrageous Ken Russell film ever made - and that's quite some feat! BONUS MATERIALS - Brand new 2K restoration of the film from original film materials - High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentations of the director's cut and unrated versions of the film - Optional subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing - Audio commentary with director Ken Russell and producer-screenwriter Barry Sandler - Seven deleted/extended scenes with optional commentary by Sandler - Brand-new interview with Sandler recorded especially for this release - Home movie footage of Ken Russell visiting Florida for a retrospective screening of Crimes of Passion at the 2009 Florida Film Festival - Theatrical trailer - Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Twins of Evil - Illustrated booklet containing new writing by Ken Russell's biographer, Paul Sutton, correspondence between Russell and Kathleen Turner, and an on-set interview with Russell (first pressing only) Complete product details, hi res art, etc. can be found HERE. Pre-order at the MVD SHOP or on Amazon Female Prisoner Scorpion: The Complete Collection [Blu-ray + DVD] (July 26th) Limited Edition Blu-ray collection (3000 copies) Starring the iconic and beautiful Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood, Stray Cat Rock) in a role that came to define her career, the four-film Female Prisoner Scorpion series charts the vengeance of Nami Matsushima, who assumes the mantle of "Scorpion," becoming an avatar of vengeance and survival, and an unlikely symbol of female resistance in a male-dominated world. Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion introduces Nami, a gullible young woman unjustly imprisoned, who must find a way to escape in order to exact revenge upon the man who betrayed her. The visually avant-garde Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 sees director Shunya Ito and star Meiko Kaji re-unite as Nami and six other female convicts escape prison once more. The Gothic horror-inspired Beast Stable finds Nami branded public enemy #1 and on the run. She soon finds refuge with a sympathetic prostitute, but runs afoul of a local gang. The final film in the series, #701's Grudge Song (from director Yasuharu Hasebe, Retaliation, Massacre Gun), shows a gentler side of Nami as she falls in with Kudo, an ex-radical suffering from physical and psychological trauma caused by police torture.  Spiritual kin to Ms. 45, Coffy and The Bride Wore Black, the Female Prisoner Scorpion is the pinnacle of early 1970s exploitation cinema from Japanese grindhouse studio Toei, and one of the greatest female revenge sagas ever told. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS: - Limited Edition Blu-ray collection (3000 copies) - Brand new 2K restorations of all four films in the series presented on High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD - Original mono audio (uncompressed PCM on the Blu-rays) for all films - Optional English subtitles for all films - Double-sided fold out poster of two original artworks - Reversible sleeves for all films featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Ian MacEwan - Booklet featuring a new writing on the films, an archive interview with Meiko Kaji, and a brand new interview with Toru Shinohara, creator of the original Female Prisoner Scorpion manga FEMALE PRISONER #701: SCORPION: - Newly filmed appreciation by filmmaker Gareth Evans (The Raid) - Archive interview with director Shunya Ito - New interview with assistant director Yutaka Kohira - Theatrical Trailers for all films in the series FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: JAILHOUSE 41: - Newly filmed appreciation by critic Kier-La Janisse - Japanese cinema critic Jasper Sharp looks over the career of Shunya Ito - New interview with production designer Tadayuki Kuwana - Original Theatrical Trailer FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: BEAST STABLE: - Newly filmed appreciation by critic Kat Ellinger - Archive interview with director Shunya Ito - New visual essay on the career of star and icon Meiko Kaji by critic Tom Mes - Original Theatrical Trailer FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION: 701'S GRUDGE SONG: - Newly filmed appreciation by filmmaker Kazuyoshi Kumakiri (Kichiku: Banquet of the Beasts) - Archive interview with director Yasuharu Hasebe - Japanese cinema critic Jasper Sharp looks over the career of Yasuharu Hasebe - Visual essay on the Scorpion series by critic Tom Mes - Original Theatrical Trailer

James Cullen Bressack Star Horror Director speaks with Deadly Horror

1. You have a family back round in film from what i've read in other reviews but who as a horror director do you think influences your filmmaking the most?

I've always been a huge fan of the works of Takashi Miike, Wes Craven, Frank Henenlotter, and Eli Roth. But I'm really just a horror fan in general and am inspired by so much of what I see. My love of horror films was one of my greatest influence in creating them. I have a DVD collection that is predominantly horror. I use to seek out films no one I knew had see to find the real horror gems. 

2. You have come a long way in a short period of time, do you want to continue in horror or is horror just your doorway into other genres eventually?

I will always love horror and want to work in horror but that doesn't mean I don't want to at some point explore other genres as well. I like to tell stories and am interested in seeing what story opportunities I will have.

3. I can see you doing something for a major studio someday, do you think you will ever get to direct something like a Friday the 13th?

I mean that would be great, but who knows. I would love it but as of yet nothing like that has been offered to me. I do love slasher films though and would love to see a resurgence of them sometime soon.

4. Tell us about your latest releases whats new with James C Bressack what's on the horizon?

My next film as a director that's coming out is BETHANY and I am very very excited about it. It's something very specials and I feel it's the best film I have made yet. It's very scary and different. I also have 2 films I produced coming out soon as well, RESTORATION I also cowrote, directed by Zack Ward, and 2 Jennifer; the horror sequel to my film, To Jennifer, directed by Hunter Johnson. Both are great horror films and I really think people will dig them.

5. What advice would you give struggling filmmakers out there who just want to give up?

I would say that the late Wes Craven told me, "this business is all about perseverance." That really resonated with me because it's true. Sometimes things get hard but it's important to overcome those obstacles and keep moving forward .

6. Ive always been a big fan of your films which one of your films is your personal Favorite?

For sure, Bethany. I can't wait to show it to everyone I really feel it's my best.

6. Anything else you want to say to the fans?
