Nude For Satan (1974) - Kino Redemption 6.24.14 Pre-order

[redrunner97]

NUDE FOR SATAN:

Pre-Order: Here.
June 24, 2013

Two strangers who wreck their cars on a rural highway during a storm take refuge in a mansion. A doctor (James Harris), who has left an unconscious woman, Susan (the striking Rita Calderoni), in his car walks in to discover depravities behind every door when Susan suddenly appears, dressed in a flowing gown and acting as if they were old friends. The next morning, Susan wakes up in his car and enters the mansion to find a leering aristocrat, his snaggle-toothed servant, and the doctor dressed as a count and acting like a decadent dilettante. It's as if the two exist in parallel universes, confronted with ghost versions of one another in a portal to the past controlled by a devilish hedonist. Director Luigi Batzella deftly combines the weirdly stylized horror and out-and-out exploitation for a film dripping in eerie mood and nightmare imagery and the handsome production is unexpectedly compelling and unsettling. Includes both original Italian language and English dubbed.

Why does the cover say 'Cinema of Jean Rollin' on it...?

[redrunner97]

I dont know. There's a blu-ray cover floating around too and it says the same thing. A little strange.

[RiFiFi1955]

Simple answer...you really don't want to drop Batzella's name when your trying to market a product

Cool another DVD I can ditch!

I've been following this since it originally went up for pre-order with a March 2013 release date (I believe). I noticed this particular pre-order go up on 6-24-13, exactly a year before the supposed new release date. The impression I get is that this pre-order is a placeholder, I wouldn't be surprised to see the date get pushed again.

Not a placeholder but an official date from the studio. Let's see what happens, usually the Redemption titles get released in a timely manner.

From experience I would not consider an Amazon release date the same thing as an "official date from the studio." Was this announced somewhere I missed?

Good call on your part sir. It is not on the release slate listed on Kino's website nor part of the release schedule posted by Redemption in their Facebook. Hopefully, it is still coming.

I should also probably mention that part of the reason I suspect the 6-24-14 date to be a placeholder is the following message I got from the Redemption Facebook account, in response to a PM I sent them inquiring about this release. I received this in July 2013 - keep in mind that the 6-24-14 release pre-order went live June 2013:

"Its definitely being released its just that we share our world rights with an Italian company who own Italy and Germany. We loaned them the negative a few years ago and have since been battling to get it back... However we will get it!"

I'm pretty hopeful that it will happen, I'm just making the point that I'm not holding out on the 6-24-14 release date, as Redemption was not even in possession of the negative as of 1 month after the Amazon pre-order went live.

Best. Title. Ever.

I'm gonna guess this is not going to be the more explicit cut with the xxx scenes?

I would think you guess right. I expect it will be the same as their DVD release.

Kino is no stranger to including cut scenes of that nature on their blu-ray releases. If I'm not mistaken.

[mar3o]

Pathetic artwork.

[Horsebot3K]

I'm not going to blind buy this, but that title is incredible.

[fudgeismade]

Aaaaaand down goes the Amazon preorder. Release date is now listed as June 21, 2018. Son of a *****.

[SolidStateSociety]

What's happening with this, is it still going to be released?

[agentalbert]

Has it ever come out why this was cancelled?

Hasn't been released. I wonder if KL Insider would have any info on this.
I posted the question in that thread.
