BEYOND, THE
(aka: L'ALDILA / SEVEN DOORS TO DEATH)

a dark, evil secret. The entrance to the underworld is waiting to be opened, and when new residents of the hotel move in…the
evil is awakened. Demonic forces of all shapes and sizes are rising up and violently attacking the living one by one. Can
the text of an ancient book save the tenants from a horrible death? Will mankind prevail over the demonic forces, or will
it perish in a bleak wasteland conquered by legions of the undead? A Fulci masterpiece and a top quality uncut print.

KILLER BARBYS
Directed by Jess Franco.
Eurohorror master Jess
Franco (Female Vampire, Daughter of Dracula) pays homage to the classic cinema in the revisionist "old dark house"
thriller. A vanload of kids are stranded in a hilltop castle and become the unwitting victims of an immortal, sex-crazed
countess (Mariangela Giordano) who retains her youth by feeding upon the blood of the young. Hardly the typical "Scooby-Doo"
kids, these guests are members of the gore-punk band the Killer Barbies, who prove themselves quite well equipped to battle
the horrors that confront them.

LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN
(AKA: Uomini Si Nasco
Poliziotti Si Muore) Directed by Ruggero Deodato.
Referenced in Tarantino's
Kill Bill Vol. 2, Uomini Si Nasce Poliziotti Si Muore (Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man, 1976) opens with an insane motorcycle
chase that was filmed in rush hour in downtown Rome with no permission from the local authorities. To top it off, this is
one of the most violent and unconventional Italian style action films of its time. the credit goes to the director, Ruggero
Deodato, best known for his infamous and censored film Canibal Holocaust, and the scriptwriter Fernando Di Leo, author and
director of some of the best Italian gangster films from the 70s such as Caliber 9, The Boss and The Italian Connection.
Never before in film history have we seen such nihilistic and pathological behavior from protagonists, who in this film happen
to be two policeman: Alfredo (Marc Porel) and Antonio (Ray Lovelock) members of an anti-crime squad who shoot down their
assailants even before they have committed a crime.

NIGHTMARE CITY
(AKA: INCUBO SULLA CITTA CONTAMINATO) Directed by Umberto Lenzi.
Umberto Lenzi's zombie shocker NIGHTMARE CITY stars actor Hugo Stiglitz as a reporter
caught in a living, breathing zombie hell. When an airplane comes into contact with radiation from a nuclear disaster, it
causes the passengers to mutate into scabby-faced humanoids with a compulsion to kill and drink the blood of their victims.
As the zombies move into the city and beyond, will anyone or anything be able to stop the wave of bloody death and disease
that threatens to decimate mankind? Filled with nonstop violence, gory special effects and pulse-pounding music, and featuring
supporting performances by Laura Trotter, Francisco Rabal and Mel Ferrer, RARO is proud to present this oddball gem of Italian
splatter completely remastered and uncut.

OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES
(aka: L'ABIME DES MORTS VIVANTS)
Directed by Jess Franco.
Once established as a master of the
Euro-erotic horror film, Jess Franco continued to explore more traditional modes of filmmaking, setting familiar genres
on their ears with his singular brand of reckless creativity. Made during the living dead craze of the early 1980s, OASIS
OF THE ZOMBIES is one of only a handful of motion pictures to explore a most peculiar subgenre of the movement: the Nazi
zombie film. In telling the story of a cache of German gold—lost in the desert, sought by a group of teenagers, protected
by the walking dead—Franco demonstrated his characteristic lack of restraint, shamelessly inserting stock footage
from a bigger-budget war picture, allowing his camera to dwell on the worm-eaten orifices of the shriveled undead and, of
course, lacing the action with his trademark style of lyrical eroticism. The resulting film is a decadent exercise in grindhouse
filmmaking that is more audacious than frightening, illuminating one of the more peculiar facets of Jess Franco's uniquely
warped cinema.

PERFUME OF THE LADY
IN BLACK, THE
(aka: IL PROFUMO DELLA SIGNORA IN NERO)
Directed by Francesco Barilli.
Director Francesco Barilli's
hallucinatory giallo horror-thriller stars Mimsy Farmer who portrays Sylvia, a chemist who begins to suffer from strange
visions; a mysterious woman in black applying perfume in a mirror appears to her and strangers follow her everywhere she
goes. Barilli's psychological investigation into the workings of the mind becomes apparent when it is revealed that
as a child, Sylvia committed a horrible crime. The slow progression from successful scientist to a woman on the verge of
insanity shows an in-depth look at the intricacies of the haunted mind. This is a remarkable film, weaving reality, fantasy
and memory into an almost seamless fabric.
