UK’s Redemption DVD Label Reborn!

The label will be rebranded with eye-catching new packaging that goes back to its original style with striking bespoke imagery.

Founded in 1993 by Nigel Wingrove, the label boasts a vast array of some of the best Euro cult horror titles around and is no stranger to controversy.

Leading the way in April is the highly crafted and unspeakably violent Argentinean psychological thriller Breaking Nikki, followed by the truly disturbing and perverse horror The Owner in May and I’ll Never Die Alone the harrowing, brutal Argentinian rape-revenge
movie in June.

Nigel Wingrove comments, “Redemption is the first company to genuinely champion the work of the next generation of horror filmmakers. These films have been created outside of the Hollywood mainstream and as such are innovative, sometimes shocking, often dangerous and definitively very, very Redemption.”

Other titles that will be part of the relaunch include Requiem for a Vampire, Killer’s Moon, Venus in Furs, Schizo, Sacred Flesh and The Demons. Details on the first three releases of the revived label are right here:

Breaking Nikki
A prostitute becomes embroiled in a man’s depraved revenge vendetta in the highly crafted and shockingly violent Breaking Nikki, which has been creating a storm across horror film festivals worldwide.

Directed by Hernan Findling, Maria Ines Alonso stars as a call girl who is hired to play the part of a client’s ex-wife. It soon becomes clear she is the victim of his dark revenge, as she finds herself
trapped in a sick game that is about to spiral bloodily out of control.

Requiem for a Vampire
Requiem for a Vampire is a truly amazing and utterly spellbinding take on the vampire theme with the director, the late Jean Rollin, successfully mixing elements of the fairytale, surrealism, horror and eroticism into a striking visual feast that is almost devoid of dialogue.

The film centres on two young women on the run from a robbery who take refuge in a ruined castle. Requiem for a Vampire was to establish Rollin’s unique eroticised take on the vampire.

Killer’s Moon
Killer’s Moon is Britain’s answer to I Spit on Your Grave….only nastier. Directed by Alan Birkinshaw in the late Seventies, it mixes lurid scenes of rape with dollops of ultra–violence and Clockwork Orange Droog-style menace.

Four drugged-up mad men have escaped from the local asylum and seek refuge in a remote hotel where a class of stranded schoolgirls are staying. This bloodthirsty freak fest is amazingly co-written by award-winning author Fay Weldon. This remastered version features a fantastic slew of extras.
