PRE-ORDERS AND SHIPPING. Important. Please Read!
MM is a small shop. They don't have hundreds of people in a giant warehouse filling orders. When pre-orders are ready to ship they are packed up and shipped by one person. As hundreds of orders come through as soon as pre-orders go live, it can take from a few days to a week for all orders to ship, even those placed in the first few minutes the titles went live. So please be patient if your disc(s) don't ship on the very first day.

!!ALUCARDA!!
What's up with ALUCARDA? Per Jared at Mondo, "Long story short - negative has now gone missing and we haven't found anything else usable. Can't do a blu until we have quality film materials to work with."

The news:

Mondo Macabro is proud to present, for the first time ever on official DVD, 5 classic Alain Robbe-Grillet films!

Coming later this year will be TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS, THE MAN WHO LIES, EDEN AND AFTER (along with its rare alternate version N TAKES THE DICE) and SLOW SLIDINGS OF PLEASURE! These astounding and transgressive arthouse/exploitation hybrids have all been painstakingly remastered in HD. In fact, they look so nice that a BD or two may be a real possibility. No promises, but the option is there! Stay tuned for more details as they come in!

Make a promise I will be upgrading the Italian DVDs immediately. Fantastic news.

Wow, They look like amazing films.

[Torrente]

Now they say the deal on Robbe-Grillet's movies is dead due to some issues with the right holders

Things move fast in the wonderful world of “cult” movies.

One week you have an email confirming that your offer for a film has been accepted, the deal is on, and the paperwork is on its way, the next you hear that the deal has been cancelled, with all sorts of nefarious reasons given.

Which is a long winded and slightly bitter way of announcing that the “Rights Holders” – so we were told – have now at the 11th hour cancelled the deal for all of the Robbe Grillet titles.

Obviously we’re pissed off. We think we would have done a good job on them and, let’s be honest, we were championing these films for years in the face of general indifference so feel that we’ve helped to create whatever market might have existed for them.

But we’re big boys and we’ll get over it. And hopefully any of you out there who wanted to buy these won’t suffer too much as we’re sure they will be released at some future time in the US. Just not by us. Seems like we were gazumped by someone with deeper pockets.

Annoying, but like we said above, business is business. Profuse apologies to all for this hiccup. We move on…

I have several of their titles and I would love to see Girl Slaves of Morgana Lafey get a blu release. Watcher in the Attic is classic Nikkatsu pinku.

[jrsl76]

I haven't really seen any of the titles from the past couple years, but my favorite MM titles are Lady Terminator and The Girl Slaves Of Morgana Le Fay. Satanico Pandaemonium is pretty great too.

The beautiful Countess Martine de Bressac is released from the expensive asylum where she was incarcerated after castrating her former lover. She returns to her luxurious villa on the coast and goes at once down into her private underground dungeon. It's here that she indulges herself in the perverse sexual practices that give her life meaning, surrounded by the bizarre human statues of her previous victims. Her husband, Charles, feeds his wife's sick fantasies, aware that she is his meal ticket to a life of luxury. He announces that he has a new game for her - they will befriend and seduce the young and virginal daughter of a rich neighbor. But things do not go exactly as planned… Games of decadence and debauchery lead to mayhem and murder. From cult director Jess Franco. His most outrageous film. First ever US release.

Saw this in my local target today and picked it up. Not a bad price, though this is the transfer that some folks are very unhappy with even though the color timing is director supervised and approved. Also picked up French Connection II for $5. That's a lot of fun for $15.

[Mandalorian]

Assuming this is the Signature Series release.

It is the first release, not the Signature Series one.

[reaperx187]

I've had the 2nd one for awhile since Best Buy had it for like $4.99 so i might have to bite on this. I might hit Target up pretty soon and check out what they have at the one near me.

[AgentOrange]

It's weird that the price tracker on the original release has never been lower than the Signature Series, and it's currently $24.xx vs $16.xx on Amazon.

Still, even though $10 is the lowest it's ever been. It's not a very good price for an obsolete version IMO.

It is then an awful deal, the first release is inferior in every way and has a vastly inferior transfer.

Not to all.

Unique distributor! I have from Mondo Macabro only "Panic Beats" and it's really nice edition.
