Summary: |
Severin Films presents ECCO and THE FORBIDDEN - The most extreme
mondo of them all, now scanned in 4k for the first time ever, plus mega-sleazy
bonus mondo!
In 1963, nudie/roughie filmmakers Bob Cresse and
Lee Frost (HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN, LOVE CAMP 7) saw the U.S. grosses of MONDO
CANE and quickly imported and adapted one of the most provocative and successful
shockumentaries of the decade. Narrated by Academy Award® winner George Sanders
(ALL ABOUT EVE) and featuring a legendary soundtrack by Riz Ortolani
(Oscar®-nominated for MONDO CANE's 'More'), ECCO explores a world of sadism,
delinquency, roller derby, extreme piercing, appalling stereotypes and the
infamous Lapland-women-castrating-reindeer-with-their-teeth sequence, now
scanned in 4k from the original inter-negative. Bonus feature THE FORBIDDEN is
Frost & Cresse's rarely seen and totally insane 1966 fake Mondo, packed with
staged scenes of Swiss lesbians, L.A. rapists, Parisian tarts and Nazi
strippers, newly-transferred from the only known 35mm print in existence.

Review
ECCO is one of the best Mondos… Imagery that is bizarre, shocking and
insane! --Worldwide Celluloid Massacre
THE FORBIDDEN is an
exploitation classic… It's hard to believe that Cresse and Frost can
pack so much wacky entertainment into 65 minutes! --DVD Drive-In
