Blue Underground
Blue Underground is an American company specializing in releasing authoritative editions of cult and exploitation movies on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. It was originally formed as a shell company to oversee 'making of' documentaries during founder William Lustig's time at Anchor Bay Entertainment, but became an independent entity in late 2002. The company has released a broad range of cult movies to disc, but leans toward European (particularly Italian), Asian and Brazilian horror and exploitation. Blue Underground goes to great lengths to feature restored transfers from original vault elements (a process that occasionally leads to substantial delays with their releases, given the age and obscurity of some of the titles they select), and to include extensive extras (such as commentary tracks and new documentaries) whenever possible. Each title is released unedited and with a choice between the original audio track and usually a lossless 7.1 remix. As of October 2009, Blue Undergro ...

The Last House On The Left (1972 Film)
''The Last House on the Left'' is a 1972 American exploitation horror film written and directed by Wes Craven in his directorial debut and produced by Sean S. Cunningham. It stars Sandra Peabody, Lucy Grantham, and David Hess. The film is about Mari Collingwood, a hippie teenager who gets abducted, raped, and tortured by a fugitive family on her seventeenth birthday. When they unwittingly seek refuge in her home, the killers face the vengeance of her parents. The film was controversial upon release for its marketing—with a tagline "Can a movie go too far?," advertising its violence. Craven based the film on a Swedish film, ''The Virgin Spring'' (1960), directed by Ingmar Bergman, which in turn is an adaptation of a Swedish ballad, " Töres döttrar i Wänge." Craven developed the film with producer Sean S. Cunningham after working with him on ''Together'' (1971) and once the filmmakers obtained small funding from Hallmark Releasing to make another feature film. Craven wro ...
