Sounds good!
Can't wait to see how their DVD of Il Delitto Del Diavolo (Queens of Evil) turns out!

Yep! :D
Also very interested in Satanik and The Diabolical Super-Kriminal docu.
Seems there's no real info about language tracks or subs yet,Kultvideo lists only Italian audio so far.
-
Some of these are must-haves...i'm excited! English options would only sweeten the deal :'(
-
Quality looks fine, and there are a lot of good interviews in each dvd; but Italian is the only audio language option.

I don't have any of these releases but according to back cover the following discs have English audio: Malamore, Se sei vivo spara, Squadra volante, Rats - Notte di terrore & Svezia inferno e paradiso.
-
Thanks! ;)

Malamore
A nice little film from Eriprando Visconti,just a shame the English track has non-removeable Italian subs.

According to head honcho Davide Pulici we should be seeing the following in March:
FROM CORLEONE TO BROOKLYN (Umberto Lenzi)
DEATH SMILED AT MURDER/LA MORTE HA SORRISO ALL' ASSASSINO (Joe D'amato)
THE LAST HUNTER (Antonio Margheriti)
I also seem to remember reading something about a release of Riccardo Ghione's IL PRATO MACCHIATO DI ROSSO aka THE BLOODSTAINED LAWN.

Although it isn't the best of the bunch you mention - that's the one I'd be most hopeful for. The copy that's kicking about is abysmal (to say the least) It always puzzled me how they got Lucio Dalla, a respected singer/songwriter to both appear in it and provide the catchy theme tune? It really is a no-budget giallo, on a par with 'La Polizia Brancola nel Buio'... Still, perhaps a crisp transfer might elevate it a few notches - if only in the so bad it's good stakes.
Fingers crossed :)
-
FROM CORLEONE TO BROOKLYN (Umberto Lenzi)
Any English options?

Aren't Cinekult releases Italian only?
EDIT: scrub that, there's a post above mentions that some are English friendly.

No idea,mate.

Waiting for this one to arrive anyday now.
Aka WHO KILLED THE PROSECUTER AND WHY?.
Extras include two deleted hardcore scenes!

I should be receiving their release of Venere in pelliccia / Le malizie di Venere.
It's listed as having an English language track. Does anyone know if the Italian subtitles are non-removable?
-
Cinekult already have released an impressive collection of films... ;)

-
I have re-synced an English audio track to fit WHO KILLED THE PROSECTOR AND WHY? If anyone wants to add it to their DVD, I could upload it somewhere.
I've also made custom subtitles for THE KILLER... IS ON THE TELEPHONE. They're here, for anyone who wants them: http://www.mediafire.com/?rvzdv3rowsk3aa4 (http://www.mediafire.com/?rvzdv3rowsk3aa4)
Cinekult seem like a great company. Hopefully, I'll be making some more customs using their releases.
-
Hats off again to Cinekult - it seems Interrabang is due to be released on DVD in May...
-
I only own a couple of Cinekult's releases.
Can anyone recommend me a few more, preferably English-friendly (I know only a couple are) or with decent extras (deleted footage, ...)?
-
Cinekult are on a roll at the moment having just released Alfonso Brescia's Naked Girl Killed In The Park (1973), they're following up next month with The Devil Has Seven Faces (1973), Il Prato Macchiato di Rosso (1973) and the John Phillip Law / Fernando Rey sleazefest Eyes Behind the Wall (1977). Particularly looking forward to the latter finally in decent quality. No English options by the looks of it but plenty of fan sub/dub potential there.

Looking forward to EYES BEHIND THE WALL best copy I have us the old Luminous version which is pretty ropey.

Don't think this has been mentioned,it seems to be quite notorious though.

Saw this on their site for a very reasonable price but have not heard any word on the quality. The fansubbed version is pretty much an eyesore. The opening sequence is so over the top the rest of the film never quite recovers.

I do love these CineKult discs. Normally great quality and excellent choices of titles for release.

Is Cinekult really gone?
-
Yes, apparently their DVDs were poor sellers :-(
-
I was thinking they would be to be honest, even though they released great titles in great quality... :o
Weren't they a dvd company started by some big name rightsholder to get their remastered titles out btw?
-
Really sad, they start the company only 2 years ago..
-
I think Cinekult wasn't exactly a DVD company, but only a "brand" owned by Cecchi Gori Home Video.
-

Vizzini, are you by any chance Saimo from the Blu-Ray.com forums (I ask this because of the blog from your signature)?
If you are, funny to see you at another forum. :P
I asked you for a few recommendations a few days ago, which you were kind enough to provide.
Anyway, does anyone have a full list of their releases, including those who were also available on BD (I have a couple of BD from them, including Dellamorte Dellamore and Shadow)?
Can anyone let me know which ones are English-friendly, and from those that aren't, which ones are must buys (either because of the high-quality of the transfers and/or film, or significant or rare extras such as deleted scenes, like Terza ipotesi su un caso di perfetta strategia criminale)?
I'm going to try to pick up a few releases I'm missing.
It's sad to see another genre label/sublabel go away... :o
-
Sad but inevitable, the Italian market for these must be quite small yet if they provided English subtitles they would have increased their sales. I've recently picked up all the titles I wanted and, as far as I am aware, none of their releases that I own are English friendly. It's thanks to hard work of subbers like DjangoLi and fan DVD producers like Dario Argento that we are able to access these in English.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/14/8a7esuhy.jpg)
-
Very sad & disappointing news. I think if they'd made the effort to include English options, then they would still be in business.
@ Funktion - As Demented_UK said, none of their releases are English friendly to my knowledge (at least none of the ones that I have are) - but all releases of interest have been custom fan dubbed or subbed.
Try this link to KultVideo for a list of their releases: http://www.kultvideo.com/special/ArticlesPerLabel.aspx?__lang=it-IT&lid=754&tid=1 (http://www.kultvideo.com/special/ArticlesPerLabel.aspx?__lang=it-IT&lid=754&tid=1)
I'll be picking up the titles I missed next month before they go OOP.
-
@Luca Canali - They have a small number of releases that are English friendly (they include an English audio track), I own a few of them myself (Dellamorte Dellamore, Venere in pelliccia / Le malizie di Venere, Shadow, ...).
-

Of course, with English subtitles they would have gained a much wider audience, but Italian labels often work on such a tiny budget that they simply can't afford that. Currently Italian market is such depressing and small, you can't even think big...

A shame to see them go... definitely.
If their releases were English friendly from the start there's every chance they would still be around now. Still, let's be grateful for what they gave us - and they did unearth some beautiful prints of some very obscure films.

Are they back?
Noticed this:

It's by Mustang Entertainment, a brand new label operating in home video and using the CG Home Video salesmen's network, hence the dvd cover

Thanks for the info,wondering if they'll release more (and with English subs)... ;)
-
Yes, more releases (but already issued by other labels) to come next by that label Mustang
Sella d'argento by L. Fulci
Una pistola per Ringo by D. Tessari
Non più di uno by B. Pelosso
Nero veneziano by U. Liberatore
Matalo by C. Canevari
I giorni dell'ira by T. Valerii
and Italian sexy comedies, Italian classics, crime, giallo movies and so on...but nothing unearthed from the hidden gems vaults...

I don't think the dvds are provided by English subs, it's simply a reprint of other catalogues, I guess...
-
Yes, they are supposed to reprint OOP DVDs from Medusa catalogue...
-
Thought I'd share the good news here:
Cinekult appear to be back in action, this quote was from Davide Pulici's FB page on the 8th of July....
"tanto tuonò che non piovve: "ok, riprendiamo con Cinekult. Il primo lotto è Nosferatu a Venezia (Mustang), La moglie più bella e La bocca" D.PULICI su facebook 8/7/2012"
It basically means let's pick up again with Cinekult - Nosferatu.... is a Mustang release (as noted above) but La Moglie Piu Bella... looks like it's a Cinekult release.
Probably not English friendly (as usual) but it's great news all the same.
English subs/dubs can always be patched up later ::) I did offer my services for free, regarding subs... doubt they'll actually take me up on the offer though.
-
Great news, thanks for posting, mate. Let's hope we get more unreleased gialli and poliziotteschi.
-
I did offer my services for free, regarding subs... doubt they'll actually take me up on the offer though.
They won't because these are actual conditions to respect when issuing a movie on a DVD for a market, it's simply a thing determined by commercial and distribution contracts.

Yeah, I fully agree - but the fact that anyone can buy a Cinekult DVD, regardless of what country they are in, with just a few mouse clicks makes that point completely redundant in the real world.
Blue Underground, Severin, Cinekult, RARO, FilmArt, Camera Obscura, etc... only have the rights to these films in their respective countries... so anyone (for example) buying a Camera Obscura disc outside of Germany is, in fact, breaking the terms and conditions the rights holders laid out to Camera Obscura. They only have the rights to sell their discs in Germany... and so on.
You are perfectly right Quidtum, hence my comment that they probably won't be contacting me anytime soon... but it's a situation that makes very little sense.
I also wonder what kind of dialogue these people actually have with the rights holders? One universal release would yield them far more cash than six or seven staggered releases that barely sell... The only comments I've heard 'behind the scenes' is that a lot of these companies aren't particularly friendly to each other - and therein lies the problem, it all boils down to cash at the end of the day. The films come in second, hence the endless re-issues of the same films... over and over again.
I don't take much joy in working on the Cinekult customs - I would rather they were English friendly from the start - and the extra money they make would go back into getting more 'new' titles released. Is there any chance these films would have gotten a release if we hadn't made these customs? Nope, there's fuck all to suggest they would (see my previous point)
Some more food for thought (and completely unrelated to my above points - but it might give some people an idea of the bigger picture)
Interviewing Umberto Lenzi I was surprised to learn that all these films we know and love only had a shelf-life of just 5 years - after that time the prints were destroyed. Bear in mind that right up until the late 70's and early 80's there was no hope of these films being screened on national television because they were (at that time) generally considered too violent, or sexually explicit. It wasn't until the private channels reared their heads that this all changed - the only downside, of course, is that they also played a key part in killing the industry as people could now stay at home and watch these films instead of paying to go to the cinema.... It didn't kill the industry (many of these channels were essentially pirate channels and didn't pay the rights holders anything) but it was a significant factor in the decline and then (almost) demise.
Umberto Lenzi (as an example) hasn't made a penny from any VHS or DVD release, along with all his contemporaries, the only time they see any financial return is when their films are screened on national television here in Italy. There's a law that states that royalties must be paid to the director, composer, and scriptwriter. It's this money that allows a lot of these people to survive.... not from any sale of a DVD or Blu-Ray disc.

This is not entirely correct: directors, writers and composers actually get some royalties from DVDs and blu-rays, but admittedly these fees are very very low. I know this for sure because an Italian friend of mine had a couple of his films released on DVD and he obtained some hundred euros as royalties (the so-called "equo compenso").

I've just ordered some things off of Cinekult, and I got the message to go the "My Kult Video" panel, but when I do, it says I have no orders. Anyone else have this problem?
