Forbidden Game Of Love
Mondo Macabro presents FORBIDDEN GAME OF LOVE - The first English-friendly release for this controversial Spanish film. Breaking up for the summer vacation, popular literature teacher Don Luis wishes his students well and sets them a holiday project on the myth of "delayed revenge". Later, driving away from the city, Don Luis sees two of his students, Miguel and Julia, hitch hiking. He offers them a ride and they eventually agree to spend the night at Don Luis’s isolated house in the country, which they soon discover is a palatial mansion with extensive private grounds. The young lovers get to spend their first night in bed together and discuss the possibility of staying on in the large house, its only other inhabitant being Jaime (Simon Andreu), a man in his 30s, who seems to be some sort of servant to Don Luis. The next day they decide to go for a walk, only to discover that the tall iron gates of the house are firmly chained shut. They challenge Don Luis, who then produces a pistol and they realise that they are now prisoners, along with Jaime. What then follows is a series of bizarre and sexually charged "games" which seem designed to break down their spirit of resistance and force them to accept Don Luis as their superior and mentor. However, when Don Luis finally returns to his teaching duties, Miguel, Julia and Jaime begin to see a way to reverse the power balance. As things change in the house, the forbidden game becomes one of life and death. The film was very controversial when first released, being seen as a comment on the fascist dictatorship of General Franco, and suffered 42 censor cuts. This present version, the first English-friendly release of the film, is fully uncut and restored from the original negative. It’s a startling and sometimes shocking film that richly deserves rediscovery. Specs: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1. DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo . Region code: All. Special Features: Brand new 4k restoration from negative. Angel Sala on director Eloy de la Iglesia.

I Hate My Body
Mondo Macabro presents I HATE MY BODY - A man's brain, trapped in a woman's body! Lecherous businessmen Ernest and Peter go out for an evening of fun with two girls from work. There's a lot of drinking and dancing and more than a little suggestion of frolics to follow, particularly when Ernest has the idea they swap partners. With the willing Rita by his side, he sets off in his car, roaring with laughter as they speed into the dark night. Momentarily distracted as he glances at his attractive passenger, Ernest loses control of the car. They crash into the side of a bridge and the vehicle bursts into flames. The bodies are rushed to the nearest hospital where both Ernest and his passenger are certified dead on arrival. However, the hospital's surgeon, Dr. Adolf Berger, a former medic in a Nazi death camp, discovers that Ernest's brain is still intact. Encouraged by his female assistant, Lydia, Berger decides to try out his long cherished experiment- transplanting a brain from one body to another. However, the only body available is that of a young woman, Leda Schmidt, also technically dead in the hospital morgue. Casting aside all scruples, Berger begins the operation! This outrageous film, which now has much contemporary relevance, was directed by horror specialist Leon Klimovsky, the man behind Paul Naschy's WEREWOLF and THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, and numerous other Spanish "fantaterror" classics. The disc includes many exclusive extras and the feature has been fully restored. Specs: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.66:1. DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo. Region code: All. Special Features: Brand new 4k restoration from negative. Interview with actor Manuel de Blas. Angel Sala on I HATE MY BODY. Victor Matellano on actor Narciso Ibanez Menta. Audio commentary from the Naschycast.

The Power of Darkness
Mondo Macabro presents THE POWER OF DARKNESS - A Descent into madness… or a discovery of the truth? Fernando Vidal, a formerly wealthy man now living in a tiny single room in Buenos Aires, is accosted one evening by someone who claims to be a childhood friend. Vidal denies ever having met him. But later the stranger turns up at his threadbare apartment and begins to ask questions about their childhood together, reminding Fernando about how he would catch birds and poke out their eyes just to see if they could fly without sight. These long suppressed memories start to haunt Fernando and he becomes increasingly detached from reality. From that point on, strange events accumulate in his life. A seemingly drunk neighbour tells him about sighting a huge bird - a warning of disasters to come. Fernando begins to notice blind men everywhere in the city, some even following him through the night-time streets and onto subway trains. Finally his childhood friend tells him that he has discovered a secret society of the blind which is plotting to take over the world. And suddenly Fernando begins to see evidence of this everywhere. Following a series of clues, he climbs the stairs of an old apartment building in a deserted section of the city and finds himself lost in a vast and dark labyrinth where bizarre and terrifying visions flash in and out of view. Somewhere in the void, he is convinced, lays the answer to all his problems. He steps forward, as the darkening shadows swallow him up. Part crazed conspiracy theory, part horror story and part philosophical inquiry, THE POWER OF DARKNESS is a film like no other. Although based on the highly regarded novel, On Heroes and Tombs, the film has been more or less forgotten. This is its first English-friendly release and is a must see for adventurous film watchers. Specs: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1. DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo. Region code: All. Special Features: Newly restored from negative. 'About the Film' video short. Optional newly created subtitles. New and exclusive artwork by Justin Coffee.
