TOP RELEASES OF 2018 PART 4

Midway thru the month of December and about midway in the countdown as well. Let's kick off the Top 40.

40. SAVAGE STREETS 1984 (CODE RED) BLU-RAY...Lovely Linda Blair stars as a young woman seeking revenge for the rape of her mute sister. Linda looks so damn good in tight black leather. A must for 80's action fans. Hosted by Katarina Leigh Waters.

39. THE AMBULANCE 1990 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY...Another bizarre Larry Cohen film I had never seen until the release. A mysterious ambulance picks people up and takes them.....ahh there is the crux of the tale. Recommended!!

38. HORROR OF PARTY BEACH 1964 (SEVERIN) BLU-RAY...Epic Del Tenny film about bizarre monsters killing the beach crowd in Connecticut. I can't help but love this B movie gem. Great picture quality and the sound will knock you out.

37. THE DEATHHEAD VIRGIN 1974 (SINISTER CINEMA)...Strange and very obscure Filipino made horror tale about a man who finds a sunken treasure guarded by a female demon. Diane McBain stars.

36. COLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT 1970 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY...Great tale about a brilliant scientist played by Eric Braeden who develops a computer that eventually tries to enslave the world.

35. SLITHIS 1978 (CODE RED) BLU-RAY...Finally this was re-released and remastered. A mutant monster runs amok in Venice, California. One of my all time favorite films.

34. VAMPIRE OF THE OPERA 1961 (SINISTER CINEMA)...Long lost film that is part of a trilogy which consisted of "Playgirls and The Vampire" and Vampire And The Ballerina". A dance troupe practices in a run down theater haunted by a vampire. In Italian with English subtitles. Very rare.

33. SEVEN (KINO) BLU-RAY...The second film from Andy Sidaris is a great action film about a very well planned overthrow of a drug cartel that has taken over Hawaii. William Smith, Barbara Leigh and Reggie Nalder head an all star cast. Long overdue on Disc, it was great that Kino finally released it.

32. THE MINOTAUR: WILD BEAST OF CRETE 1960 (SINISTER CINEMA)...Bob Mathias stars in this wonderful long unseen peplum film about the legendary monster who needs human sacrifices. This is the Italian language, uncut and widescreen version with English subtitles. The movie looks magnificent.

31. BLOOD ISLAND COLLECTION 1959/1971 (SEVERIN) BLU-RAY...This is the second highest rated collection in my countdown. If you're a fan of any of the "Blood Island" films this is a must have. Great looking prints, tons of extras and so much more. One of the best releases ever from Severin.

Well, there you are. Next week I'll creep even closer to number one.
