Anthropophagus, also known as The Grim Reaper, is a notorious Italian horror film directed by Joe D’Amato. The plot centres on a group of tourists who become stranded on a deserted island, only to discover that they are being hunted by a deranged, cannibalistic killer, played with ferocious intensity by George Eastman.
Anthropophagus is a film that has cemented its place in horror history not only for its content but also for the controversy it sparked. As a piece of cinema, it embodies the visceral, unflinching approach to horror that Italian filmmakers of the time were known for. The film’s atmosphere is one of relentless dread, enhanced by its hauntingly desolate island setting and a sparse, eerie score that lingers...

The Italian female revenge thriller Emanuelle’s Revenge is out now on DVD and VOD/Streaming by Cinephobia Releasing.
Far from being just a grindhouse film for men, co-directors Dario Germani and Monica Carpanese (who also wrote the screenplay) gives this entertaining tale a surprising S/M feminist twist.
Synopsis:
Emanuelle, that 1970s siren of filmic sensuality, returns, this time as a celebrated lesbian novelist with a burning secret. Set in contemporary Italy, the wealthy playboy Leonardo (Gianni Rosato) – think ponytail-era Aaron Rogers – meets and falls for the beguiling Emanuelle (Beatrice Schiaffino.) But what begins as a simple cat-and-mouse game of seduction, soon turns much sinister.
