Shameless Announces Another Sergio Martino Blu-ray for Release in the UK
Coming off the heels of their release of All the Colours of the Dark, Shameless Films has announced their next title coming to Blu-ray will be another from director Sergio Martino, this time in the form of The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh. The film is scheduled to be released on July 10th and it will be the world wide debut of the giallo on the format. You can pre-order your copy now from Shameless.
Synopsis:
The titular Julie Wardh discovers that one of the men in her life – her husband, an ex-lover or her current lover – may be a vicious serial killer. Fearing that she might be next to face the ripper’s blade, she spirals into an uncontrollable emotional maelstrom where her deviant desires awaken in a welter of sex, sadism and slaughter! Martino’s hypnotic direction pulls no punches with a series of grisly murders and a stand-out performance from the stunning queen of Italian exploitation cinema: Edwige Fenech!

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
