On 19 May 2009 MYA Communication will issue Bitto Albertini's 1971 peplum "The Return of the Gladiator" on US DVD. It's also known as Il ritorno del gladiatore più forte del mondo and Three Giants of the Roman Empire.
Rome, 310 A.D. The Roman Empire is beginning to collapse, and Proconsul Tullius Valerius (Albert Farley) fears that provincial governor Gaius (John Barracuda) has been secretly working with those Germanic barbarians seeking to end Roman rule. Valerius then orders to former gladiator Marcus (Brad Harris) to go undercover and investigate this situation. In Gaius’ territory also lives Lycia (Maria Pia Conte), the beloved of Marcus. Gaius soon learns of Marcus’ plans, and has him captured and unfairly accused of murder. Led to believe that Marcus is guilty, Lycia turns against him, and Gaius condemns the gladiator to be pulled apart by teams of horses.
Extras Features: International star Brad Harris leads this classic sword and sandal movie, set in ancient times Rome. Directed under the moniker of Al Albert by genre specialist Bitto Albertini.
On 19 May 2009 MYA Communication will issue Jorge Grau's 1972 Italian-Spanish co-production "The Legend of Blood Castle" (aka Ceremonia sangrienta / La vergini cavalcano la morte / The Female Butcher / Blood Ceremony) on US DVD. Based on the Elizabeth Bathory legend, Lucia Bosé plays the title character and the delectable Ewa Aulin also stars.
Director Grau is best known for The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974).
When Countess Erzsebet Bathory (Lucia Bosé) is accidentally splattered with some blood drops of one of her nubile maidservants, the Countess finds out that the blood can preserve her skin young and beautiful. Compelled to kill innocent young girls to use their blood, the Countess is helped by her husband Karl (Espartaco Santoni), who fakes his own death and pretends to be a vampire to fool the superstitious villagers about the source of the exsanguinations. In the meantime Karl finds himself attracted to Marina (Ewa Aulin), the young daughter of a local innkeeper, perhaps another victim for the Countess. Sell Points / Extras Features: Believed one of the best adaptation of Elizabeth Báthory’s legend, this is one of the most disturbing and chilling movie from Spanish horror cult director Jorge Grau (Let Sleeping Corpses Lie). "The Legend of Blood Castle" is presented with its original full Spanish edit.
Deleted and alternate (more explicit) scenes are included as extra contents.
