Under Paris opens up new possibilities for aquatic horror, blending familiar themes with social commentary on climate change. The unique location of the Seine River sets Under Paris apart from traditional shark movies, creating a fresh and thrilling experience. Lilith, the shark in Under Paris, represents a force of retribution against humanity's destruction of the environment, setting the stage for potential sequels highlighting the importance of conservation.

Steven Spielberg ushered in the era of the summer blockbuster and made us afraid to go into the water when Jaws hit theaters in 1975. Under Paris, now streaming on Netflix, has opened up the doors to the potential of a new shark film universe for a new generation of viewers. The ocean, like space, is a vast abyss of uncharted realms with endless possibilities for world-building, and Under Paris has the capability to establish a new cinematic universe.

Under Paris, while containing many elements from Jaws,...

Not only did the Amando de Ossorio-directed 1971 flick Tombs of the Blind Dead kickstart a boom of Spanish horror films, but it also served as the starting off point for an entire franchise, collectively known as the Blind Dead series.

Now, courtesy of Blue Undergound, the entire quadrilogy is coming home! Read on for plot crunches and full release details for the 'The Complete Blind Dead Saga,' which is a must-own for fans of zombie cinema. Look for it on July 29th!

Tombs of the Blind Dead Synopsis

In 1971, director Amando de Ossorio created what horror fans worldwide consider to be Spain’s Night Of The Living Dead. In Ossorio’s nightmare vision, a legion of Knights Templar – executed horsemen whose eyes had been pecked out by crows – rise rotting from their graves, hunting only by sound in a quest for human flesh. The Blind Dead saga begins here,...

Back in 2005, Blue Underground released a limited edition box set of The Blind Dead films, but they’ve just announced that they will be re-releasing the movies as a 4-disc DVD set on July 29th:

“They are called The Blind Dead, heretic horsemen whose eyes were burned out to prevent them from finding their way back from Hell. Over the course of 4 unforgettable films, writer/director Amando de Ossorio created what fright fans worldwide consider to be one of the most startling series in horror history. This unique quartet of shockers delivers a relentless onslaught of creepy atmosphere, shocking violence, forbidden sexuality, and the still-chilling icons of EuroHorror: The eyeless undead who hunt by sound in their quest for human flesh.

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve long been a fan of the fairly obscure late 70s King Kong-inspired giant monster epic Yeti, Giant of the 20th Century. Barely released on VHS, never before on DVD, finally - at long last - this delirious b-movie bonanza is finally getting its long overdue DVD release.

For the uninitiated, Yeti, Giant of the 20th Century is a 1977 Italian production shot in Canada and then badly dubbed into English that was designed to ride the coattails of the 1976 big budget King Kong remake. Long before The Asylum the Italians were the true kings of the mockbuster.

From Gianfranco Parolini Aka Frank Kramer, co-writer and director of the Lee Van Cleef/Yul Brenner spaghetti western trilogy Sabata, Adios, Sabata, and The Return of Sabata, and starring Antonella Interlenghi (Fulci’s City of the Living Dead), Tony Kendall (Ossorio’s Return of the Evil Dead...
