[cooey]

Pre-order: 88 Films - Amazon.co.uk - HMV
Release date: 26th August, 2024

More giallo goodness from the master of the genre, Umberto Lenzi. This cinematic gem follows a wealthy widow who moves to a luxurious home in Italy, only to find herself the target of a mysterious but handsome stranger and his equally stunning step-sibling, so cue questionable debauchery, dangerous drugs and very saucy sex. Starring Hollywood hottie Carroll Baker this psychological thriller takes the genre into truly dark, surreal places whilst delivering a pitch perfect, claustrophobic atmosphere.

Finally getting all four! This has been a long time coming

Excellent, I've been wondering when we can get the 4th Lenzi-Baker Giallo!

[MegatronX]

Be funny if someone picks this up expecting the Parker/Stone one!

[fatboyslim142]

I wonder if this will include the US version like the Severin release does.

I wonder who has the UK rights to the following Carroll Baker Gialli?

The Sweet Body of Deborah (1968) - There is a German BD with English subs.
The Fourth Victim (Eugenio Martin, 1971) - I know Severin released this across the pond.
The Devil Has Seven Faces(Osvaldo Civirani, 1971)
The Flower With the Petals of Steel (Gianfranco Piccioli, 1973)
Las Flores Del Vicio (Silvio Narizzano, 1979) - I know Vinegar Syndrome released this across the pond.

At last! I trust 88 will improve on Severin's lackluster transfer.

[OceanBlue]

Very good news this. One of Carroll Baker's films I had hoped 88 Films were going to do a UK release of.

[Sleazeaddict]

about time, glad i skipped the Lenzi/Baker severin set now

Thank you 88 films

[Funktion]

Happy to hear the Italian Collection is alive and well.

On a side note, with this being the title that remained unavailable in the UK from the US "The Complete Lenzi/Baker Giallo Collection" boxset by Severin, and with me already owning the 88 Films A Quiet Place to Kill (aka Paranoia) BD, does anyone know how the 88 Films Knife of Ice, and So Sweet... So Perverse releases compare to the US releases by Severin?

I own the US boxset, but I'm always underwhelmed by the compression job on Severin titles (I don't know if they've improved recently, since it's been a couple of years since I bought one of their titles).

If they are an improvement, I'll pick up Knife of Ice, So Sweet... So Perverse, and the upcoming Orgasmo (aka Paranoia; damn, the distributors sure made the various international titles confusing ).

thank you

I thought it had already been released by 88 under the Paranoia title?

That's actually a different film; the U.S./U.K. titles get confusing.

[drush9999]

Yeah Paranoia and Orgasmo get confused all the time. Reminds me of Fulci's "Perversion Story" referring to two different films depending on territory.

It's a bit confusing... There's two Lenzi/Baker films that use the same title (Paranoia). The previous 88 release was the 1970 film. The upcoming will be the 1969 film.

Title #1 - 1969 Original Italian title: "Orgasmo" US Title: "Paranoia" US Blu-Ray Title: "Orgasmo" UK Title: "Orgasmo" UK VHS Title: "Paranoia" (Starring: Carroll Baker/Lou Castel)
imdb link

Title #2 - 1970 Original Italian title: "Paranoia" US Title: "A Quiet Place to Kill" UK Title: "A Quiet Place to Kill" UK Blu-Ray Title: Paranoia (Starring: Carroll Baker/Jean Sorel)

Thank you so much. Do you know if they are the same editions, or is there a slipcase only on 88 Films' site?

I don't not for sure, but I assume it will be the same. I've bought quite a few 88 films titles via amazon.co.uk which had slipcovers and looked identical to the ones on 88 Films webshop.

Same editions

[cooey]

OP updated

[Hammerlover]

Do we know yet if this will have a slipbox and booklet or just a slipcover?
