The House By The Cemetery movie trailer - starring Dagmar Lassander, Catriona MacColl, Paolo Malco, Giovanni Frezza, Silvia Collatina, Ania Pieroni. Directed by Lucio Fulci. Genre: Horror Rating: R

Though he worked in a wide variety of genres throughout his career, we now identify Lucio Fulci with a particular brand of horror film. These characteristic Fulci movies are sort of like an amusement park thrill ride with intense shocks and gory set pieces that pop up every few minutes and scare the shit out of the audience. While his rival and compatriot Dario Argento gave nods to prevailing art cinema trends, Fulci spent the '80s constructing progressively faster, wilder, bloodier and more absurd rollercoasters. The House by the Cemetery was made during Fulci's most productive period, a three year run of grisly mayhem that redefined the concept of the gore film. If you're looking for a tasteful movie with three dimensional characters and a well-reasoned, multifaceted plot, for God's sake go bother someone else. Though Fulci was a highly literate man who could quote Kafka and Artaud, he also understood the appeal of blood, guts and atmosphere. The House by the Cemetery is a haunted house movie. The premise is Lovecraft by way of E.C. comics (with a side trip to the butcher shop). When a New York family moves into a suitably creepy New England mansion, strange things begin to happen. There are ghostly children, rabid bats and the diabolical marks of the house's former inhabitant, the evil Dr. Freudstein. Before long, the blood is flowing like a crisp summer Chianti.

The Laughing Woman -- Witness the ultimate subjugation of a woman to serve the most twisted desires of man in the achingly hip n' horny Femina Ridens, where the kinkiest urges are played to a deadly conclusion… The beautifully sensuous Dagmar Lassander stars as Maria, the living sex toy of Dr Sayer (Philippe Leroy) who delights in killing women at the point of orgasm. Sayer's prolonged campaign of degradation pushes Maria right to the edge of death but the spell she casts on him will lead to the most extraordinary climax of a lifetime! Stylish, imaginative and deliciously twisted, this kitschy 60s pop art erotica-fest boasts gorgeous set design, an even more alluring leading lady and a heady desire to please the viewer with increasingly bizarre and dangerous sex games. Rebuilding The Frightened Woman has been a labour of love but thanks to the work of genre expert Marc Morris the Shameless version of The Frightened Woman runs at 86m 03secs compared to the 83m 25 secs run time supplied by the licensor. In order to create this new Shameless version they have used a wide variety of source materials that widely vary in quality but they believe that the end result shows off the film in the complete form it has long deserved to be celebrated in including the correct colour palette. Shameless have kept director Piero Schivazappa informed throughout the process and asked him to watch through it for them and see if he could give it his seal of approval. He kindly sat through it, with script in hand and felt that, 'it is as faithful as it can be to the original script', and was very happy to see the film brought back to life in this Shameless version declaring, 'This IS the version of my film to watch.' Shameless Screen Entertainment release The Frightened Woman on DVD. The Shameless director approved cut will run at 86m 03secs and is being released uncut by the BBFC for the first time in the UK.
