Illusions Unltd, the Germany company responsible for releasing some of my favorite mediabooks, has announced a couple new releases coming March 31. The first film is a DVD only release of a film called Cannibal Inferno. This is a 2008 film that is entirely new to me. From what I can tell it looks to also be known as Isle of the Damned and is a horror/comedy. It could be promising. Joining Cannibal Inferno will be a Blu-ray/DVD mediabook combo of 2009’s The Last House on the Left. I’m really excited about this one. The film is a very good remake and I love me some mediabooks!

Cannibal Inferno

Synopsis:
In Antonello Giallo’s follow up to the notorious Pleasures of the Damned, private investigator Jack Steele is hired by a mysterious treasure hunter to help find the lost treasure of Marco Polo. Along for the trip is Jack’s adopted son, Billy. Their search brings them to an island off the coast of Argentina… and into the clutches of a primitive cannibal tribe, the Yamma Yamma. Alexis Kinkaid, a mysterious recluse who has made his home on the island amongst the cannibals, may hold the key to unlocking the island’s secret… if they don’t end up in the belly of a savage first! Isle of the Damned, originally released in Italy in 1980, brought Giallo under fire yet again by the Italian government, who were outraged by the shocking and real scenes of primitive tribal rituals and cannibalism portrayed in the film. The film has been long out of print, but is presented here in a digitally remastered form.
