Starring Rupert Everett, Franηois Hadji-Lazaro, Anna Falchi
Directed by Michele Soavi

Video Universe Plot Description:  A gruesome horror comedy about a cemetery caretaker's battle with zombies who rise from their graves.  To destroy them, he must mutilate their heads -- a task easier said than done, especially when the undead fiends start popping up from the ground with increasing frequency.  His plight is made considerably more pleasant when he meets and falls in love with a beautiful widow.  Unfortunately, she gets attacked by the creatures and transforms into one of them. Will he kill her -- or join her?  A gory blend of zombified horror and black comedy, this Italian-produced feature charts the travails of a quiet cemetery groundskeeper whose recent burials just won't stay buried.  He and his assistant keep having to round up the vengeful undead and kill them again, which becomes even more difficult when he falls in love with a beautiful victim.  Directed by Dario Argento collaborator Michele (The Church) Soavi.  Produced in association with Audifilm-Urania Film-K.G. Productions and Bibo Productions.  Support for this film was provided by Eurimages Fund of the Council of Europe.  Released theatrically in New York City April 26, 1996.

Die Screaming Marianne (1971)
99 minutes

Not Rated
Starring Susan George, Barry Evans, Christopher Sandford
Directed by Pete Walker

All Movie Guide Plot Description:  The first horror film from notorious British director Pete Walker, this is a brutal but rather pedestrian pulp thriller about a fetching young go-go dancer (Susan George, in her first starring role) who is stalked in and around an isolated house by ruthless assassins determined to prevent her from reaching her 21st birthday. It seems Marianne is in line for a sizable inheritance from the man she claims is her father -- a crooked magistrate whose career is threatened by her very existence. As if that weren't enough, knowledge of the girl's newfound wealth inspires a team of would-be kidnappers who show up at the villa to beef up the body count. Fans of Walker's blood-drenched thrillers might detect a glimmer of burgeoning talent here, but the suspense is hampered by a clunky script and silly dialogue, and the lovely George is probably just warming up for the following year's Straw Dogs. Also known as Die Beautiful, Marianne!

Kitten In A Cage / Girl From Pussycat (1969)
210 minutes

Not Rated
Starring Linda Boyce, Miriam Eliot, Inga Dare
Directed by Richard MacLeod

Video Universe Plot Description:  This release contains two delicious, twisted, and psychedelic sexploitation romps from the 1960s.

Kitten in a Cage (1968):  In this bewildering sexploitation film, Julie has lost her mind, her memory, and is being chased by some diamond thieves who have lost their jewels.

The Girl From Pussycat (1969):  Underneath the flesh and titillation of this Dadaist sexploitation film is a dark and disorienting tale of mistreated women who have become violent sadistic criminals.  Lacking a clear plot, but filled with orgies, lesbians, and torture, this film captures some of the helter-skelter craziness of the 1960s cultural revolution.

She Man & Sins of Rachel (1972)
215 minutes

Not Rated
Starring Dorian Wayne, Ann Noble, Jerome Scott
Directed by Bob Clark, Dick Fontaine 

Video Universe Plot Description:  This deviant double feature from Something Weird Video features two gender-bending and delightfully twisted sexploitation films.

Full of taboo camp and sexy deviance, She-Man is a minor classic of cross-dressing cinema.
