Dig that cover. I don't think I've ever actually seen this movie.

I have rented it back in the d due solely on that cover . I recall the movie delivering on the sleaze as I was hoping for, but I can't remember anything else about it. I think waronov was a dyke though. Interesting fact: my tablet spell check suggested "satanic" to replace "waronov".

It does. Sometimes I use it, even.

Satanic spellcheck... is your tablet maybe actually a ouija board?

This sounds too good for blu-ray.

I finally watched this one recently after hearing about the Blu-ray announcement and I really enjoyed it! It's campy, sleazy fun. I don't know why it doesn't have more of a following, because it has a great cast, including Edy Williams and Dyanne Thorne. I'll definitely be picking it up on Blu.

"- HELLHOLE: Originally planned for June but its now been placed into a temporary "TBD" status with the hopes we will still be able to release it in the Summer. Without going into too much detail, we have been having a hell (pun intended) of a time trying to secure just the film itself as the one master we did have direct access to was missing 10 minutes of footage and no audio. We do have a lead on a "Plan B" though and will keep you posted about developments as they become clearer. "

Oh no! I hope it's still going to come out. The movie is fun as hell... hole. ;)

"Unfortunate news to report today but we have exhausted all avenues looking for the footage missing from our film elements for HELLHOLE--the 1985 Women-in-Prison thriller-horror hybrid that we announced back in January of this year. Unless a collector comes forward with a good print of the film, we are unable to release the film in its original theatrical cut as we had hoped and we have to take it off our upcoming schedule for the time-being.

We sincerely regret getting hopes up for the fans this cult film has (believe us when we say we're personally bummed too). In hindsight, we should have waited until we had a clear understanding of what shape the film was in beforehand. Lesson learned.
If anything changes and we can reverse course, we will let you know immediately. Again, our apologies."

That sucks, was really looking forward to this release. Was actually on my list of films I wanted on dvd for as long as I can remember.

FB update!

**TITLE RE-ANNOUNCE**
Look what's back! The 1985 women-in-prison-horror hybrid HELLHOLE is finally slated for a release on July 26th. This entertaining exploitation number sports an wild cast of cult favorites that includes Ray Sharkey (The Idolmaker), Mary Woronov (Rock n Roll High School), Marjoe Gortner (The Food Of The Gods), Richard Cox (Cruising), Terry Moore (Mighty Joe Young), Edy Williams (Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls), Robert Z'Dar (Maniac Cop) and Dyanne Thorne (Ilsa: She Wolf Of The SS).

As some of you recall, we had to cancel the release in 2014 due to problems we had with the film elements. However, we recently located a decent theatrical print which will now allow us to integrate the sections from the film print into the interpositive we transferred originally. (The IP we had appeared to be a TV cut as all the nudity and violence from the R-rated version was missing.) Please note that since some footage is from a print there will be a minor (but unavoidable) noticeable difference to the eye between the IP and the print.


We are thrilled that we could "save" this one and hope fans of the film (and new ones) will enjoy and support it. Pre-order now @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/action-adventure/hellhole

Confirmed release date now 7/26/16.

"Having witnessed her mother's brutal death, Susan (Judy Landers, Dr. Alien) gets amnesia from a fall while being pursued by the killer, Silk (Ray Sharkey, The Idolmaker). Awakening in Ashland Sanitarium, she is once again terrorized by Silk, disguised as an orderly. To pry an incriminating secret from Susan's brain, Silk forms an uneasy alliance with Dr. Fletcher (Mary Woronov, Rock 'n' Roll High School), a psychotic scientist who has been testing a new lobotomy technique, using helpless inmates as her guinea pigs. These vicious experiments are carried out in the “Hellhole,” a torture den awaiting Susan as its next victim.

Featuring an all-star cast of cult film stars including Marjoe Gortner (Starcrash, The Food Of The Gods), Richard Cox (Cruising), Terry Moore (Mighty Joe Young), Edy Williams (Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls), Robert Z'Dar (Maniac Cop) and Dyanne Thorne (Ilsa: She Wolf Of The SS).
