Our friends and the world's most whacked-out home video label, Mondo Macabro, are back to expose all of you adventurous viewers to more of the further corners of the exploitation world. They've showed you great Bollywood Horror, Nikkatsu erotic thrillers, the best from Jess Franco and the rest of the Eurohorror boom, and even the wild world of Indonesian action, but this is their first stab at Greek exploitation.
To celebrate, they're offering up the first two films,
Tango of Perversion and
The Wife Killer, in a bundle exclusive to their own webstore at a reduced price with early shipping. I've used their webstore before and the shipping is very fast and prices are quite reasonable, so I vouch for them. Here is the word from the man himself, Mondo Macabro co-founder Pete Tombs:
Greece has been in the headlines a lot recently. Here at Mondo Macabro we support the Greek people and Syriza in their current struggle and wish them all success in the future.
We feel it is also time to remind the world that in the 1960s and '70s, Greece had a thriving film industry, turning out comedies, melodramas, musicals - and quite a lot of the sort of films that we at Mondo Macabro love.
So, to launch our new line of Greek Cult Cinema releases, we are making a special offer via our online store
Two Grexploitation classic at a special price of $35.00 plus postage.
How can you resist? Discover a side of Greek life you didn't even know existed.
Here's a link to the store, I recommend you go check these out. Mondo Macabro is one of the most reliable labels out there, and you won't want to miss this
TANGO OF PERVERSION
The Tango club is the favorite hangout for a group of swingers who live for nothing but pleasure. Rosita, a beautiful lesbian, seduces Joanna by giving her
dope. Stathis, Joanna's sleazy boyfriend catches the two women in bed together and takes his brutal revenge on them, ending in Rosita’s death. All this
happens in the house of Joachim, a rich playboy who gets his kicks by secretly filming Stathis having sex with girls from the Tango club. Joachim believes
he is impotent, until he makes love to Rosita's dead body. After that, things start to get weird...
Sex, drugs, necrophilia, voyeurism and a dose of Greek psychedelia, this film has it all. One of the legendary exploitation films of the early 1970s now
makes its US home video debut in a brand new print, complete and uncut.
THE WIFE KILLER
Penniless playboy Captain Jim is in hock to his rich older wife, Helen. She has even bought him the fancy yacht that now bears his name. But Jim does not
want to be Helen’s toy boy any more. He wants to marry his lover, Laura. He pays a psychopathic killer of women to murder Helen so that he will inherit his
wife’s millions. But the psycho killer has his own plans. Suspecting Jim will double cross him, he engineers a complex scheme that will give him the upper
hand.
Very much in the style of the violent and baroque “Giallo” thrillers from 1970s Italy, The Wife Killer is a twisted, shocking and brutal exploration of the
devious male psyche. Previously only released to cinemas in a cut version, this is the first official DVD release of the film in the U.S., complete and
uncensored.
