There's something big and something hungry living in the still, murky depths of secluded Hillbilly Lagoom... and it walks on land.

Following a toxic spill, science students from the state university are sent in to test the waters for contamination. They are immediately set upon by insane and inbred locals, who don't take kindly to strangers nosing about their town and beloved lagoon. But that's the least of their worries when a hulking humanoid borne of radioactive mutation ascends from the inky blackness to fill in lungs with air and its stomach with human bait.

2-DVD EDITION
Julian Wells    Andrea Davis    Darian Caine    Julie Strain

Produced by Michael Raso
Written and Directed by Tony Marsiglia


Writer/director Tony Marsiglia (Sinful, Lust for Dracula) and acclaimed ‘underground' actress Misty Mundae (Shock-O-Rama, Sinful) team up once again to deliver a remake of the shocking cult oddity from 1969. Chantal is a tragic and terrifying portrait of a young actress victimized at the hands of modern-day Hollywood.

Chantal (Misty Mundae) has just arrived in Los Angeles, California to become a movie star. Beautiful, naïve and dangerously delusional, she wanders the boulevards looking for her first big break. There she meets Tracy (Julian Wells) – an actress-turned-prostitute ­– and the two of them begin an uneasy intimate relationship. Tracy warns of the harsh realities lurking beyond the glamorous façade of Hollywood, but Chantal's innocence makes her easy prey for monsters that inhabit the dark underbelly of the film business. Viciously exploited by these human vultures, Chantal inches ever closer to an abyss of humiliation and hopelessness. Only Tracy stands between this once fresh-faced beauty and her shattered dreams…but she might be powerless to do anything.

THE SEXPLOITERS


A "modeling agency" in New York City is the setting for this outrageous erotic romp where men and women will do anything to satisfy their wildest carnal cravings. The Sexploiters is a grindhouse cult classic and the lone directorial effort of Al C. Ruban, producer of The Beautiful the Bloody and the Bare and the critically acclaimed films of John Cassavettes including Minnie and Moskowitz and The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. Retro-Seduction Cinema is proud to bring it to DVD for the first time ever on home video.

Among the sexiest of the "Sexploiters" is Lynn (Terri Steele), a bored housewife with high-falootin' tastes who works as a high-class call girl. Her job: make every john's bizarre fantasies come true. Whether slipping into her dominatrix leather to service an eccentric client; on location at a frat-party-turned-all-out-orgy; or donning skimpy black lingerie to play a grieving widow who services her "deceased" husband in a coffin, nothing is too taboo for Lynn, who knows how to use her luscious body and sexual talents to thrilling, orgasmic precision. As Lynn goes about her daily duties, the Sexploiters' studios are filled to capacity with all manners of sexually-charged activities including photography sessions sporting big-busted babes, a bearded muscleman, and acrobatics performed by the delectable and very naked Gigi Darlene (Bad Girls Go to Hell). As the horny shutterbugs deliriously snap away at their cameras, a nudie-cutie film being shot next door encourages two eager young girls (including the lovely June Roberts of My Brother's Wife) to show off their exhibitionistic expertise by stripping down to nothing but their birthday suits and a pair of big smiles. Ahhhh, it's just another busy day in the sexploitation industry.

An isolated outpost in the wilderness becomes a battleground between humankind and morphing microscopic monster in this gross-out shocker from horror master Brett Piper (Screaming Dead, Shock-O-Rama).

When a handful of friends stumble upon the abandoned building, they come face to face with a biological weapons experiment gone catastrophically wrong. They also confront a maniacal scientist who predicts life on Earth will end in 48 hours if the accelerated bacterial mutation cannot be halted. As the virulent, flesh-hungry contagion spreads from person to person – rendering each host into a pile of infectious ooze – it begins to multiply and increase in size. A covert military force sent in to contain the spread and destroy the organism discovers the extent of the slithering mutation, but by then it's far too late for conventional tactics. Extreme measures are required…if anyone is left standing in one solid piece to do battle.

Rated PG-13 by the MPAA

HIDEOUT IN THE SUN

Legendary sexploitation pioneer Doris Wishman directed thirty grindhouse gems during her 42-year career including Blaze Starr Goes Nudist, Bad Girls Go to Hell and A Taste of Flesh. Wishman's first feature is the 1960 "nudist film" cult classic Hideout in the Sun, which Retro-Seduction Cinema proudly offers for the first time on home video. Recipient of a bold, colorful, hi-definition transfer from the only known film elements, the movie is presented in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio and in a 16x9 anamorphic version.

Synopsis: Psycho bank robber Duke and his brother Steve make off with a bundle of money following a daring midday heist. The plan to cool their heels in Cuba takes a shocking and unexpected turn... right to a nudist camp in sunny Miami with a kidnapped ultra-vixen named Dorothy in tow. Duke plans an ocean getaway but needs Steve to drop his drawers in order to avoid suspicion from the seriously naked inhabitants and to keep an eye on the hot dame, who might expose them. Amidst the sights of pleasure-soaked women basking in the sun, frolicking in the pool, and playing volleyball, Steve and Dorothy fall for one another... but not before Duke makes up his mind to silence the lovebirds and hit the high seas with the loot.

When the death-dealing duo come upon a wrecked stagecoach carrying prostitutes and a preacher, they battle to keep the survivors alive and in one piece in savage Indian territory.

MOONLIGHTING WIVES (1964)

1960s suburbia becomes a hotbed of rampant adultery and illicit sexual encounters in legendary sexploitation director Joseph Sarno's early erotic classic, Moonlighting Wives.

Joan Rand (Tammy Latour) is a shrewd, sexy, disgruntled housewife and mother who yearns for the better things in life. Unbeknownst to her husband, and with the help of a friend, Joan turns her office stenography service into a thriving yet well-concealed prostitution ring that has local law enforcement (including character actor Joe Santos in an early role) baffled. Needing more and more willing young housewives to grow her business with wealthy clientele and to satisfy the town's increasing demand for naughty female fun, Joan gives adulterous and well-connected golf pro Frank a piece of the action. Joan's appetite for the good life soon leads her on a sensual and glamorous odyssey of blackmail, wife-swapping and orgiastic nightlife as she and her stable of gals mingle and swing with the country club set. As the money continues to roll in, Joan's dereliction of her domestic responsibilities leads her disgusted husband straight into the arms of a nubile, 18-year-old babysitter…and brings her one step closer to the police.

LAURA'S TOYS (1975)
Directed by Joe Sarno

Legendary arthouse sexploitation auteur Joseph Sarno was the brilliant creative force behind dozens of the greatest erotica films ever produced (Inga, Swedish Wildcats). His psychologically intense and sexually incendiary depictions of rampant female lust set grindhouse cinema screens on fire in the 1960s and 70s. Sarno films are heavily female-centric, and his women are strong, desirous and just plain naughty, and they always get what they want!

Synopsis:
Laura and her husband Walter, an archaeologist, are spending a working summer on a small Swedish island off the mainland. Walter is searching for traces of a prior civilization that inhabited the area, and he and his sultry assistant Anna are making little progress…that is until professor and student decide to dig a little deeper and discover one another - several times over. Although Laura catches their hot dalliance in full view, she has other thoughts on her mind that might lead her body and sensual passions astray. Her long-time friend Hanni - an exquisite nymph with whom she shared every conceivable sexual encounter when the two of them went to school together - is visiting the mainland, and a rekindling of orgiastic ecstasy easily awaits. But a sudden blooming attraction to the naïve, buttoned-up Anna convinces Laura that she must teach her husband's lover all she needs to know about forbidden female pleasures. As the eroticism reaches a fever pitch, Anna, Laura, Walter and Hanni must question their consciences and choose sides, or throw propriety to the wind and indulge in one last mind-bending group effort.

Long after the sun has set in Porterville, the still of the night is shattered by the screams of a chainsaw…and the cries of flesh-ripping punishment.

At the age of ten, Sally Diamon witnessed the brutal murder of her parents. Alone in the world, she raised her little brother as best she could, haunted by nightmarish memories of the killings and savoring an ever-growing taste for revenge. Sally is now a quiet young woman - timid and harmless most locals would say. But they don't know a thing about Sally, who is obsessed with the gruesome images of violence, torture and retribution. Sally might live the life of a small town librarian by day, yet she is something completely different by night. And the night is coming and the hunt will begin afresh, with Chainsaw Sally acting as judge, jury and bloody executioner of those who are evil in her eyes.
