Andy Milligan’s Venom - 128-page book by Stephen Thrower

He’s been described as “The Fassbinder of 42nd Street” (Artforum), “a celebration of hate” (Bleeding Skull), and “an unmatched voice from the underbelly of low-budget cinema” (Rue Morgue). More than a quarter century after his death, he remains perhaps the most divisive name in genre history. Severin Films now presents the cranium-cleaving collection devoted to writer/actor/director Andy Milligan – “a gay sadist who pioneered New York’s avant-garde theater world and made astonishingly unique exploitation movies” (Diabolique Magazine) – on 8 Blu-rays featuring 14 surviving films from his NYC and London years, 10+ hours of trailers, outtakes, interviews & audio commentaries, a bonus CD and an all-new 128-page book by Stephen Thrower that explores the profane madness behind it all. From his provocative underground work through his international scuzz-horror classics, experience the venomous legacy of the filmmaker Time Magazine calls “depraved, degenerate, desperate, damned” like never before.

Happy Jess Franco Friday!

This week I watched In the Land of Franco part 1 & 2.

Severinfilms puts together some outstanding supplemental features and I was so excited for this one as it features the venerable Stephen Thrower and his vast knowledge of Jess Franco. Parts 1 & 2 may be found on the new releases for Cries of Pleasure and on Nights of Open Sex. Thrower visits various locations featuring beautiful vistas and striking architecture that Franco was able to locate in Portugal with his keen eye and skill with minimal budget. Thrower describes what films Franco featured them in cutting in original shots and ones showing how things look in 2018. It is amazing the number of films that used these same exteriors and interiors. I’m looking forward to future entries and can’t wait until Antonio Mayans shows up. A must watch for Franco fans!
