Disgusted by the official verdict on his teachers death, Chen embarks on a heroic and uncompromising one-man quest to uncover the true killer and restore dignity to his fallen people-a journey that will bring him into deadly confrontation with Japans most formidable fighters.

As any self-respecting slasher buff will know, Paramount Pictures hit pay-dirt with their all-time teen-kill classic FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980). Yet, when the time came to capitalise on the same cycle that the studio instigated, the brain-trust opted to take a more satirical turn and the result was STUDENT BODIES - unleashed to cinemas in 1981. Dubbed as 'the world's first comedy-horror film', STUDENT BODIES won an instant and eternal fan following for its effective nods to a series of slice and dice denizens, including HALLOWEEN (1978), the Voorhees mythology and PROM NIGHT (1980). Long before SCREAM (1996), this was the original movie that asked audiences to tick-off the tributes - and, with its tongue firmly placed in its cheek, STUDENT BODIES remains a riotous viewing experience!

Mark L. Lester (Steel Arena, Class of 1984) directed this exploitation feature that treats sex, violence, and sensationalism with love and affection. The story concerns a bloody turf battle between Smith (John Martino, The Godfather), a mob hit man, and independent gun moll Anna (Lieux Dressler, Kingdom Of The Spiders) over Anna's prostitution and theft operation, originating out of a highway truck stop.Helping Anna to fight for her right to promote thievery and debauchery is her well-endowed daughter Rose (Claudia Jennings, Gator Bait). As the plot and plenty of flesh is revealed, Rose is coaxed to Smith's side of the field with the incitement of some long green, while the body count on both sides continues to rise.

88 Films Blood on Satan's Claw 4K Ultra HD (Includes Blu-ray)
80.98 AUD
It's rural England in the Early 18th Century. A deformed skull is discovered - it has an intact eye and strange fur but when that skull disappears the village, especially its children, becomes afflicted by its supernatural power.Starring Linda Hayden and Patrick Wymark, this quintessential folk horror produced by legendary British film company Tigon and directed by Piers Haggard, is a heady concoction of old-style horror and sex, served up in an unnervingly modern visual presentation. It explores and seems to unpick the dawning decade's fears about promiscuity and the generation gap, poking fun at the moral majority's lack of tolerance toward youth culture and non-Christian belief systems.Brand new 4K Remaster from the Original Negatives presented in Ultra High Definition (2160p) in 1.85:1 Aspect RatioPresented in Dolby Vision High Dynamic Range (HDR10 Compatible)High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray in 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio Also IncludedLPCM 2.0 English MonoOptional English SubtitlesAudio Commentary by director Piers Haggard actress Linda Hayden and writer Robert Wynne-Simmons Audio Commentary with British Film Experts Vic Pratt and William FowlerSatan's Skin - Robert Wynne-Simmons on The Blood on Satan's ClawThe Devil's Business - Wendy Padbury on The Blood on Satan's ClawFolk Horror - Kier-La Janisse on The Blood on Satan's ClawTigon Tales of Terror featurette with Michael Armstrong, Piers Haggard, Christopher Neame, Tony Tenser and Ian OgilvyReviving Forgotten Horrors - Interview with Piers HaggardFolk Tale - An Interview with Actor Simon WilliamsFolk Art - An Interview with Set Dresser Milly Burns Folk Sound - - An Interview with Sound Recordist Tony DaweFolk Music - An Interview with Composer Marc WilkinsonFolk Dub - An Interview with Assistant Dubbing Mixer Graham V.
