A huge influence on Quentin Tarantino and a long-term fan favourite, Clan of the White Lotus is a quintessential slice of kung-fu mayhem.
Director/ star Lo Lieh (Five Fingers of Death, Miracles) plays the evil ex-monk Pai Mei, a man with white hair, near-supernatural fighting skills and a bitter hatred of Shaolin scholars. Facing him down is is the callow Hung Wen-ting (Gordon Liu, who would himself play the cruel Pai Mei in Kill Bill Volume 2). But will his kung fu ever be good enough to take out the mad killer?It's a follow-up to the earlier Executioners from Shaolin but don't worry if you haven't seen that: Clan of the White Lotus remixes the elements and turns up the volume to create something that stands tall on its own merits. 88 are proud to present the UK blu ray premiere of an old skool chop socky classic.

Before Hard Boiled, before The Killer - there was Heroes Shed No Tears.
Master Director John Woo (A Better Tomorrow, Face/ Off) travelled to Thailand to make this fast-paced action classic. A group of mercenaries are sent into the so-called 'Golden Triangle' to capture a drug baron, but nabbing him is the easy bit. He's not going to go quietly: with both by gangsters and the army on the tail, this wild bunch is going to need all the help it can get...No one has ever filmed gunplay as well as Woo and this was the first film that showed what he could do with a semi-automatic. Filmed with the same mastery of action that made Hard Target and A Bullet in the Head such classics, 88 Films are proud to present this blu-ray premiere of a seminal action classic.

Legendary schlock-master Bruno Mattei (RATS: NIGHTS OF TERROR) really outdid himself with 1980's classic video nasty bile-fest ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH. Banned by the British authorities back in the early days of VHS, thanks to its scenes of innards-chewing, eye-popping and throat-ripping excess, ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH is a strangely moral eco-horror film that warns against the very real terrors of nuclear pollution and chemical fallout as residents in Papua, New Guinea are turned into flesh-hungry undead denizens! Directed with the splatter-enthusiastic aplomb that one would expect from Mattei - one of the underrated auteurs of golden age Italian gore - and penned by the iconic Z-movie maverick Claudio Fragrasso (ZOMBI 3/ TROLL 2), it is tough to deny that ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH is every bit as eerily entertaining as it was almost 40 years ago!
Now presented uncut and uncensored, in an aesthetic presentation that will sizzle your senses, ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH is back to chew its way into your living room - courtesy of 88 Films and its ever-impressive Italian Collection!

Although made when the mighty Shaw Brothers studio were stepping away from film production, Eight Diagram Pole Fighter shows they had plenty of fight left in them: indeed, it's one of the best films they ever produced.
It's based on a story from Chinese history: a heroic general is betrayed on the battlefield. He and five of his sons are killed, but two of his sons are able to escape. Haunted by what happened to their father and brothers they begin to think of revenge but they will have to tread with care. The traitor and his troops are on their tail, and he means to finish the job he started.Tragically, co-star Alexander Fu Sheng (Heroes Shed No Tears, The Brave Archer) died in a car accident mid-way through filming. But under the careful hands of master filmmaker Lau Kar-leung (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Drunken Master 2), the finished film is a worthy tribute to this great star. 88 Films are proud to present the UK blu ray premiere of one of the true masterpieces of Hong Kong cinema.

Don't open the fridge!Lamberto Bava was taught his trade by his father, horror legend Mario Bava. Macabre, his first film as director, showed how well he'd learnt his lessons.Still recovering from a pair of tragic and traumatic bereavements, Jane Baker (Bernice Steggers; Xtro, Sky Pilots) moves into a new apartment in New Orleans. The owner's son, Robert, is blind – but that doesn't stop him hearing what Jane gets up to. It sounds like she's resumed her passionate affair with her lover, Fred. Except that Fred died a year ago...Not quite a giallo, not quite a ghost story and with a final twist that will make you re-think everything you've already seen, Macabre showed that Bava Jr. – who'd go on to make the horror classic Demons – was a chip off the old block.

Six women are dead, murdered by a madman known as the Half-Moon Killer. Giulia Torresi (Uschi Glas – The Gorilla of Soho; The Body in the Thames) came close to being victim number seven; while she recovers, her fiancé Mario (Antonio Sabàto, Grand Prix, Gang War in Milan) sets out to snare the psycho – and realises that the murders might not be as random as the police think… From master director Umberto Lezi (Eyeball, Spasmo) comes a prime slice of Giallo action, with a careful plot, tense set-pieces and outrageous violence – the black gloved killer makes inventive use of power tools, lead piping and even a telephone. Now restored to its original bloody beauty – and completely uncut – 88 Films are proud to present the first ever UK release for one of Lenzi's most audacious movies.

Before he became king of the cannibal movie, Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox, Eaten Alive) specialised in another sort of savagery...
Brothers Till We Die is a hard-as-nails crime flick with the very great Tomas Milian (Syndicate Sadists, Django Kill) doing double duty as lookalike brothers – Il Gobbo ('the Hunchback') and Er Monnezza, both of them up to no good. A robbery is planned but the boys are betrayed; you'd better believe that revenge is on the way, served up as only Lenzi can.A follow up to Lenzi's earlier Rome Armed To The Teeth, Brothers Till We Die is one of the best of the Poliziotteschi cycle – the tough Italian action movies that gave Clint Eastwood such a run for his money is the seventies. 88 Films are proud to present the UK blu-ray premiere of this ruthless classic.

Talk about unsafe sex...
When Horror maestro Lucio Fulci (Zombie Flesh Eaters, Aenigma) turned his hand to an erotic thriller, the results were always going to be outrageous: a tale of revenge and S & M, The Devil's Honey makes Fifty Shades of Grey look positively vanilla.Brett Halsey (A Cat in the Brain, Four Times That Night) plays a brilliant surgeon who, when distracted by personal problems, accidentally causes a patient to die in surgery. Determined to avenge this, the man's grief-crazed former lover kidnaps the doc and undertakes a very kinky type of vengeance – there's no safe word here...88 Films are proud to present a little known gem from an exploitation legend for the very first time – and completely uncut – in this beautiful blu-ray edition.

Starring The Exorcist’s Linda Blair and Knight Rider’s David Hasselhoff… Director Fabrizio Laurenti (Crawlers) brings you a creepy tale of terror, witchcraft and sacrifice. When pregnant Jane (Linda Blair) and her family visit a secluded island to check out a proposed real estate deal, things start to go wrong when they come across two trespassers, supernatural expert Leslie and her boyfriend Gary (David Hasselhoff). Forced to spend the night in a dilapidated house, the group are soon plunged into a nightmare of death and destruction at the hands of the powerful and mysterious Lady in Black (Hildegard Knef). La Casa/Witchery/Witchcraft is a carnage fuelled splatter fest, a rabid romp incorporating hauntings, possession and unexpected twists and turns. An entertainingly rare find from video store hay day of Italian made scary movies, it will delight fans of late 80s horror, a weird and wonderful necessity for the cult collector.

A fearless heroine... a kung-fu master in hiding... a seemingly invincible villain... and a film that's universally regarded as one of the greatest ever made in Hong Kong.
The heroine is Golden Swallow (Cheng Pei-pei – Painted Faces; Crounching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – in a star-making turn). She's been dispatched by her powerful father to rescue her brother who's been taken hostage by bandits. The kung-fu master is Fan Da-pei (Heroes Shed No Tears; Rumble in the Bronx); he may look like a drunken beggar but he's one of the best fighters around. Trouble is, the only man who can beat him is helping the bandits...Directed by the legendary King Hu (A Touch of Zen; The Fate of Lee Khan) for the mighty Shaw Brothers studio, Come Drink With Me shook up martial arts movies and influenced everyone from Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan and beyond. No wonder 88 Films are so proud to present this UK Blu-Ray Premiere.
