Here’s the first release on the newly launched HOME VIDEO side-label, dedicated to CULT movies and directors. ALL movies on this label will be released (at least) with Italian AND ENGLISH audio - and therefore also interesting for outside Italy.
DVD in PAL, ALL Regions, English and Italian. Luigi Cozzi's Sci-Fi Horror Masterpiece, also known as ‘Alien Contamination’, from 1980 and originally released under the director’s name ‘Lewis Coates’. This cult movie is now being released for the FIRST TIME ever on DVD and Blu-Ray, and has been carefully restored in its entirety, to be presented in high definition (HD) visual and DTS HD sound quality. Both DVD and BLU-RAY contain a few extras! Original movie soundtrack on ‘Contamination’ by legendary Italian act GOBLIN!
Starring Italian horror veteran Ian McCulloch (Zombie Flesh Eaters), “Contamination” by director Luigi Cozzi (Starcrash, Hercules) is one of the brightest stars in the firmament of early ‘80s Italian splatter.
The movie’s plot:
A cargo ship drifts up the Hudson River. Its crew: all dead, their bodies horribly mutilated, turned inside out by an unknown force. Its freight: boxes upon boxes of glowing, pulsating green eggs. It soon becomes clear, that these eggs are not of this planet, and someone intends to cultivate them here on Earth. But who? And to what end?
“Contamination” takes the premise of Ridley Scott’s classic “Alien” and peppers it with exploding guts galore and featuring a dangerously infectious soundtrack from celebrated Italian prog-rockers GOBLIN (Deep Red, Suspiria…).
