CONTRABAND: Gore maestro Fulci's sole foray into the crime thriller genre centers around feuding gangsters, and retains blood-and-violence factor at which the director excels. Underworld boss Luca Di Angelo (Fabio Testi) has worked his way up from the ghettos of Naples to become the city's top cigarette smuggler.
A rival emerges from the shadowy underworld in the form of The Margliese (Marcel Bozzuffi), a drug kingpin who wants Luca's territory for his own. He applies ever-mounting pressure to this end, but when that fails to break the essentially ethical Luca's resolve, The Margliese kills his brother and kidnaps his wife. This sends Luca on a rampage that sets off a killing spree, giving full reign to Fulci's stomach-churning talents. Euro-sex superstar Ajita Wilson also appears.CONQUEST: Fulci's trademark gore is applied to a new genre, and strange dabbling in fantasy is a rambling, eccentric sword-and-sorcery extravaganza. The demon sorceress Ocron has shadowed the sun with the strength of her will, and the once peaceful Land of Cronos lies in darkness. Only two warriors, Ilias (Andrea Occhipinti) and Maxz (Jorge Rivero), can save the world from her evil sorcery. Fulci is joined by the equally revered composer Claudio Simonetti, best known for his scoring of Dario Argento's films with his band, Goblin.

Joseph Losey (THE SERVANT) directed this forgotten masterpiece about a Welsh writer, Tyvian Jones, living in Venice and reaping the benefits of a successful novel and film career. His glamorous life of Venetian estates, film festivals, and parties is rudely interrupted when a mysterious woman named Eva (Jeanne Moreau) and her escort break into his canal-side villa seeking shelter on a stormy night. Tyvian is immediately infatuated with the shriekingly blase Eva, who greets his initial advances with a swift hit to the head with an ashtray but nevertheless proceeds to draw him in to a torturous and obsessive relationship. EVA stands as another powerful chapter in Losey's misanthropic investigations into human cruelty and irony. The melodramatic and increasingly sadomasochistic relationship that erupts between the two lovers destroys Tyvian's new marriage and exposes a panoply of betrayal and inhumanity. Moreau is devastatingly beautiful as Eva, projecting her as a damaged beauty, lazing in her glittering estate filled with trophies from past and current conquests, including her absent husband, an engineer on assignment in Africa. Losey crafts a fatalistic mad love that destroys all in its path but leaves the seemingly untouchable and loveless Eva unscathed, all played out against the smoky bohemian ambience of metropolitan Italy and scored with the tortured love songs of Billie Holiday.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAdditional Release Materials:Two versions ofEVE:
