Andrzej Żuławski’s seminal 'Possession' starring Isabelle Adjani & Sam Neill set for Limited Dual Edition Box Set release on December 8, 2025

Quite simply one of the most audaciously unhinged and alarming movies of all time… prepare to be shaken to your very soul’

- Mark Kermode

‘One of the most gruelling, powerful and overwhelmingly intense cinematic experiences that you are likely to have in your lifetime… a singular work of art… one of the supreme horror films of its era’

★★★★

- Rogerebert.com

‘Genuinely unhinged and utterly unforgettable’

- The Guardian

‘The true success is the feeling it creates… the experience is more like a fever dream than that of viewing a movie’

★★★★★

- Love Horror

A horror film like no other, Andrzej Żuławski’s seminal Possession is an intense and shocking experience that was originally banned in the UK and placed on the notorious ‘Video Nasties’ list. Now, this hugely controversial film gets a long-awaited and highly anticipated Limited Edition release in a stunning new 4K restoration, from physical media masters Second Sight Films.

Nominated for a Palme d’Or, the pivotal film stars Isabelle Adjani (Subway, La Reine Margot), in a truly formidable performance as a woman spiralling out of control as her marriage breaks down, that saw her win two Best Actress awards, at Cannes Film Festival and the Césars. Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Omen III – The Final Conflict), gives a powerful turn as the husband, struggling to deal with the devastation of a failing relationship. The film is made even more intense, with awe-inspiring special effects from FX maestro and three-time Oscar® winner Carlo Rambaldi (Alien, E.T).

The film is set to make waves once more when its Limited Dual Edition Box Set is released on 8 December 2025, complete with a slew of special features. The set is presented in a striking rigid slipcase with Basha’s original theatrical artwork and a 220-page hardback book and comes with a slew of compelling features including the North American re-edit: newly restored from an archive print, new audio commentaries, master of horror Guillermo del Toro’s take on Possession and much more. See full list below.

With their marriage in tatters Anna (Adjani) and Mark’s (Neill) tense relationship has become a psychotic descent into screaming matches, violence and self-mutilation. Believing his wife’s only lover is the sinister Heinrich, Mark is unaware of the diabolical, tentacled creature that Anna has embarked on an affair with. The unhinged woman visits her monstrous lover in a deserted Berlin apartment and will stop at nothing to protect him. With its dark subject matter and high gore quotient, Possession will have you firmly in its grip and is not for the faint hearted.

Take Possession of this must own Limited Edition, a screamingly disturbing bonafide classic.

CAFE FLESH (1982) Mondo Macabro 4K Ultra HD Review + Blu-ray Screenshots

CAFE FLESH (1982)

Label: Mondo Macabro
Region Code: Region-Free
Rating: Unrated
Duration: 75 Minutes 38 Seconds
Audio: English DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo with English subtitles

Video: 2160p HD Fullscreen (1.33:1), 2160p Ultra HD Widescreen (1.85:1)
Director: Stephen Sayadian
Cast: Andy Nichols, Paul McGibboney, Michelle Bauer, Marie Sharp, Tantala Ray

Cafe Flesh (1982) is a dystopian, post-apocalyptic porno-offering directed by Stephen Sayadian (Dr. Caligari) under the amazing pseudonym "Rinse Dream". Opening text crawl establishes that this takes place five years after a nuclear war where 99% of the survivors of the fallout not only cannot experience sexual pleasure, but physical contact makes them physically an violently ill, they are called “Sex Negatives”, those who have been affected by "The Touch". Oh, they want to make love, but cannot. The remaining 1% who can be turned on and get it on are known as “Sex Positives,” and are forced to sexually perform in a weirdo cabaret for the pleasure of the Sex Negatives, at the Cafe Flesh, emceed by provocateur Max Melodramatic (Andy Nichols, Nightdreams) who regularly taunts Cafe Flesh regulars Lana (Michelle Bauer, credited as Pia Snow, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama), a secret sex positive and her sex-negative husband Nick (Paul McGibboney), who at the start of the film is unaware that his wife is not like him. When a famous sex positive performer named Johnny Rico (Kevin James, Taboo II, Droid) shows up at Cafe Flesh Lana's hidden sex -drive presents itself, causing marital strife, as does her association with a recently discovered sex-positive performer Angel (Marie Sharp, Electric Blue 8).

A porno unlike any other Cafe Flesh is both scintillating and thought-provoking, it has a keen visual style, a synth score and a story that itself could be seen as a dissection and send-up of the pornography industry itself. The erotic entanglements are presented as entertainment, like some horny Busby Berkeley performance, that are both unsettling and nitrifying, if not exactly masturbation material. Do not get me wrong, this is hardcore porn with all the penetration, cock, twat and cum-shots you would expect, but it's just so fucking weird. That said, I was turned on, I'm a weirdo, sure, but I also love it for the garish lighting and set design, and bizarre performances, including men dressed up as infants in highchairs in the background, a bizarre office hook-up wherein the boss has a giant pencil head (Eraserhead?), and a bored housewife hooking up with a guy in a rat costume! Cafe Flesh is just a wild, weirdo-erotic time, that it gives you provocative material that activates both your mind and libido, and is just visually cool to look outside of watching characters fuck. I would say this is a pretty essential slice of thought-provoking smut, if that's your thing, get at it!

Audio/Video: Cafe Flesh arrives on 4K Ultra from Mondo Macabro in 2160p UHD framed in both 1.33:1 open matte and 1.85:1 widescreen versions. This is sourced from 4K scans from a pair of 35mm film prints, and some brief "analog sources". Film grain is nicely resolved, marginally more so than the Blu-ray, texturing looks terrific, especially in the close-ups, colors are solid, and black levels are good and deep, yeah baby. As this is a composite source there are some minor transitional things you will notice, but overall the restoration is absolutely lovely. Audio comes by way of English DTS-HD MA 2.0 dual-mono with optional English subtitles. The audio was pulled from the 35mm optical tracks, and while it's flat and narrow in range, and has some light clicks and pops from time to time, like the video presentation it's pretty great all things considered.

Extras are plentiful, starting off with a terrific Audio commentary with director/co-writer Stephen Sayadian who talks about the era in which the film was made, the many pseudonyms used in the credits, the hardcore sex scenes, and the themes explored in the film. Next up is a 58-min Interview with Stephen Sayadian, it regurgitates some of the commentary talking points, but also expands on a few things, he talks about working with scream queen Michelle Bauer, shooting the film illegally in Los Angeles, and expanding on the possibility of considering an R-rated non-porn cut of the film. Then into the 15-min Interview with co-writer Jerry Stahl who talks about his career, where he was at at the time, and how it wa intended an an anti-porn porn flick. In the 16-min Interview with Jacob Smith, an academic from from Northwestern University tackles the film from a more academic approach, discussing it's themes and execution, which sets it apart from porno of the era. The 10-min Interview with Jessica Stoya, a former porn star turned author, notes how the film serves as a commentary on porno filmmaking. Disc extras are end with the 3-min Theatrical Trailer and three-minutes of On-set Footage. The single-disc release arrives in a black eco-case keepcase with a single-sided sleeve of artwork which if I recall was the VHS original artwork.

Special Features:
- Brand new 4k transfer from 35mm materials, digitally restored.
- Full frame and 1.85:1 theatrical versions, selectable via Set-Up menu.
- Audio commentary with director/ co-writer Stephen Sayadian.
- Interview with Stephen Sayadian (57:48)
