“Extreme Italian Cult/ Asian Grindhouse at its best.” — VIDEOSCOPE In a seemingly commonplace Italian province, someone is preying on gorgeous young models. A cult of satanic psychopaths needs their untainted blood to satisfy the unrelenting appetites of their pagan gods. Nina, a bounty hunter, is enlisted to look for the young ladies who have been caught in the group’s net and to uncover their perverse leader, who is searching for supreme occult power. As she drowns in the underworld of porn producers, satanic cults, and common criminals, her Japanese katana leaves behind a devastating trail of blood and tears! Not for the faint of heart, Nina depicts an underworld of depravation by mixing Asian movie influences with Tarantino’s pulp cinema and extreme Italian cult movies from the ’70s.

Thousands of UFO photos and video footage have been submitted to UFO researchers in the last 50 years, but by far the most controversial is the “Alien Autopsy Footage.” London businessman Ray Santilli originally launched the footage on the TV viewing public in August 1995, claiming that it showed the autopsy of a dead alien recovered from a crashed flying saucer found near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Until now, no one has known the real facts behind the “Alien Autopsy Footage.” Now, Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield reveal all, including the truth about sinister Men In Black invading their lives, how the Chinese knew about the original footage, their beliefs in alien visitation to planet earth, how governments around the globe are dealing with the phenomenon, and the genetic manipulation of humankind.

This three-hour documentary, originally produced for the Canadian version of the Discovery Channel in 1999, presents an exhaustive, complete history of the machine gun. The film reveals, in detail, all of the highlights of the weapon’s development as well as various critical points in history that were affected, and even changed, by it, including use by the military, gangsters, and police in America and throughout the world. Judge Bryan Pope sums it up in his review: “Never flashy, but always vastly informative, this documentary will be a rewarding purchase for weapons enthusiasts and history buffs. The History of the Machine Gun is much, much more than the story of one of the world’s deadliest inventions. It’s a virtual timeline of man’s history of violence from the mid-19th century to the present.”
