Three New 'NoShame' Announcements. More Martino, plus Marcello Alipranti.

(Posted In Continental Europe and Russia DVD News Drama Horror )

lockedroom.jpegI know the title 'A Whisper in the Dark' by Marcello Alipranti. I like the sound of it too, as it's a Gothic horror from Italy and they're incredibly stylish, moody and scary too. The other two announcements, two further Sergio Martino movies, are to my taste too. There's 'The Big Crocodile River' from 1979, and 'Your Vice is a Closed Room and Only I Have the Key' from 1972 which is an absolute classic giallo.

Specifications are long and difficult to clearly list so please link into the NoShame site via the titles above - all of them seem to be listed for September 27th 2005 release. Hopefully I should be able to get review copies for the two I am most interested in - the first and last films that get a mention here in this post.

It seems these releases have also been restored completely, though later and more detailed studies of the earlier releases brought doubt about the issues of PAL to NTSC conversions; I hope such issues are resolved as the restoration so far has been spotless to my eye and the films are extremely well chosen.

If these folks learn how to transfer the masters the Italian company-mother provides them with...they will be as good as Criterion.
