Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Trilogy

release: 15th december 2025
available on 4k uhd and blu-ray

 

A shell-shocking saga of mutants, martial arts and New York mayhem, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy brought comic book grit, practical effects wizardry and pizza-fuelled fun to a generation of moviegoers, helping turn four sewer-dwelling brothers into global pop culture icons.
Launching in 1990 with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, director Steve Barron’s gritty, high-energy adaptation of the underground comic became a box office phenomenon, fusing martial arts action, streetwise humour and the groundbreaking animatronics of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The 1991 sequel The Secret of the Ooze is an irresistibly fun second slice: a deep-dive into the turtles’ origins where new mutant foes Tokka and Rahzar are thrown in the mix… double the stakes, double the pizza! Rounding out the trilogy, 1993’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III sends the heroes in a half shell back to feudal Japan in a time-travel adventure full of samurai showdowns, ancient legends and comic chaos.
Restored in glorious 4K and packed with extras, this radical set celebrates the legacy of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael in one of the most iconic franchises of the era, blending innovative effects, comic-book heart and early ’90s attitude.

the wild geese

available on ltd. edition 4k uhd / 4k uhd / blu-ray / dvd

 

Screen legends Richard Burton (WHERE EAGLES DARE), Roger Moore (LIVE AND LET DIE) and Richard Harris (A MAN CALLED HORSE) star as a team of aging mercenaries hired by a wealthy industrialist for one final mission: Recruit and train a squad of desperate commandos, parachute into an unstable African nation, snatch its deposed President from a maximum-security prison, escape via the military-controlled airport, and massacre anyone who gets in their way. Reaching the target will be murder, but getting out alive may be impossible. Hardy Kruger (A BRIDGE TOO FAR) and Stewart Granger (KING SOLOMON’S MINES) co-star in this “terrific escapist entertainment” (The Sunday Express) produced by Euan Lloyd (THE FINAL OPTION) and directed by Andrew V. McLaglen (THE DEVIL’S BRIGADE) from a screenplay by 2x Oscar nominee Reginald Rose (12 ANGRY MEN) for what Mondo Digital hails as “a rip-roaring combination of war film, mercenary action and exotic thriller.”

One fateful night on the streets of Liverno, world-weary Marco (Marcello Mastroianni, Allonsanfan) bumps into Natalia (Maria Schell, The Last Bridge), a visibly distressed young woman. As Marco attempts to comfort her, Natalia recounts the story of a lost love (Jean Marais) who she hears is back in town. In a bid to remain close to her, Mario reluctantly agrees to help find him. Adapted from a Fyodor Dostoyevsky short story, director Luchino Visconti (Senso, La terra trema) captures the agony and ecstasy of infatuation in this exquisite melodrama.

The House With Laughing Windows

release: 29th december 2025
available on 4k uhd / blu-ray

 

When art restorer Stefano (Lino Capolicchio, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis) is sent to a decaying church in rural Italy to restore a forgotten Saint Sebastian fresco, he becomes entangled in a disturbing mystery tied to the artist’s gruesome death. What starts as routine work soon spirals into obsession and paranoia, as Stefano realises that some works of art were never meant to be revealed. Wrapped in a misty, dreamlike atmosphere and driven by an ominous score, ‘The House with Laughing Windows’ stands apart from the more sensational side of Italian horror. Rather than relying on blood-soaked gore like typical horror slashers, Avati crafts a creeping nightmare, building terror through mood and psychological unease – until the film’s shocking climax lands a jarring, unforgettable blow that lingers long after. A haunting masterwork, ‘The House with Laughing Windows’ is one of Italian horror’s most unsettling achievements.

saga of the phoenix

release: 15th december 2025
available on blu-ray

 

When an ancient evil stirs once more, monks Peacock (Yuen Biao) and Lucky Fruit (Hiroshi Mikami) are called back into action to confront a new supernatural threat. This time their quest draws them to Hong Kong, where they must protect the innocent and face an unholy alliance of demons and dark sorcery. Alongside them is Ashura (Gloria Yip), still torn between her human heart and her fated link to the underworld, as her powers become the key to either salvation or destruction.
Blending frantic martial arts, grotesque creatures, and wild practical effects, Saga of the Phoenix amps up the chaos of its predecessor with even stranger monsters, surreal comedy, and over-the-top spectacle. Directed by Lam Nai-Choi, this sequel to The Peacock King is a delirious slice of late-1980s Hong Kong/Japanese fantasy cinema—bigger, weirder, and just as unforgettable.

city on fire

release: 1st december 2025
available on 4k uhd / blu-ray

 

After the success of John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow, lead actor Chow Yun Fat cemented his reputation as Hong Kong’s hottest new action film megastar with his electrifying performance in Ringo Lam’s City on Fire, one of the most beloved examples of the ‘heroic bloodshed’ subgenre.
Ko (Chow) is an undercover cop on one last job, assigned to infiltrate a gang of jewel thieves committing armed robberies across Hong Kong. When another police officer is killed in the line of duty during one of the gang’s heists, Ko finds himself caught in the crossfire between the police force desperate to catch the culprits at any cost, and the trigger-happy thieves who begin to smell a rat in their midst. As the bullets fly and the body count rises, Ko’s only hope for survival might be his burgeoning friendship with weary gang member Fu (Danny Lee)…
A marked influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, Lam’s gritty and dynamic crime thriller has been restored from the original negative and is finally unleashed on home video again in all its lethal fury, looking and sounding more spectacular than ever before.

Whispering Smith Hits London

release: 15th december 2025
available on 4k uhd

 

In this rediscovered classic, restored for a new generation, Private detective Steve “Whispering” Smith is intent on holidaying in England but soon becomes distracted by a pretty face. Unfortunately, the pretty face comes with a problem attached – and that problem is murder.
Featuring strong support from Greta Gynt, Herbert Lom, Rona Anderson and Alan Wheatley, Whispering Smith Hits London has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives.
In Hammer’s take on the hard-boiled detective, Hollywood mainstay and latter-day science-horror notable Richard Carlson gives an affable performance as a two-fisted detective let loose in London in this exciting – and at times unsettling – Noir-tinged crime thriller.
