Escape from death (Luna di sangue): précommande UHD 4K, avril 2026 (USA)

When Ann, the wealthy yet mentally unstable wife of accomplished author Larry, claims to have found her husband brutally murdered in her stables, her psychiatrist, Dr. Marc, and Larry’s secretary, Mary, are skeptical — not least because there is no body to be found. What’s more, Dr. Marc finds a note from Larry saying he’s going away for a while to clear his head. A year later, Larry returns to the house, but Ann is adamant that this man is not her husband, despite the protests of Dr. Marc and Mary to the contrary. To add to her mounting turmoil, Ann starts to experience gruesome hallucinations and receives phone calls from someone claiming to be the real Larry, contacting her from beyond the grave. As those around her start being dispatched in various grisly ways, is Ann losing her grip on sanity, or could something even more diabolical be afoot?

Helmed by Enzo Milioni, director of giallo favorite The Sister of Ursula (1978), and starring Euro-horror regular Zora Kerova (Cannibal Ferox, The New York Ripper), ESCAPE FROM DEATH (aka Luna di sangue) was produced as part of a series of direct-to-video and television films released under the banner of “Lucio Fulci presents”, which also includes Fulci’s own Touch of Death and Umberto Lenzi’s Hell’s Gate. A twisty-turny giallo punctuated by moments of shocking and unexpected gore, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to unveil ESCAPE FROM DEATH in its world UHD premiere, restored in 4K from its original 16mm negative and loaded with a selection of newly-produced bonus features.

Podcast In Film We Trust n°148: Laure par Gentry Austin

🇺🇸 Gentry Austin, co-host of the sexploitation podcast The Sin Syndicate is joining us to discuss the Annie Belle starring Laure a.k.a Forever Emmanuelle. 

Laure, is a 'Emmanuelle-adjacent' softcore film that waxes on liberation, religion and emancipation from life's shackles - so it is no mere T&A film, which makes it ripe for the IFWT deepdive. And much of this is thanks to the participation of Emmanuelle Arsan, the writer of the original Emmanuelle book that spawned franchises in France and Italy. 

Also, Gentry not only brings us this film due to pure fandom, as he is currently working on the biography of star Annie Belle.

You can find the Sin Syndicate podcast on Instagram at :@thesinsyndicatepod

🇫🇷 Gentry Austin, co-animateur du podcast The Sin Syndicate, nous rejoint pour parler du film Laure, avec Annie Belle, également connu sous le titre Forever Emmanuelle.

Laure est un film érotique, dans la lignée d'Emmanuelle, qui aborde les thèmes de la libération sexuelle, de la religion et de l'émancipation. Bien plus qu'un simple film de charme, il se prête parfaitement à une analyse approfondie dans In Film We Trust. La participation d'Emmanuelle Arsan, auteure du roman original qui a donné naissance à des franchises en France et en Italie, y est pour beaucoup.

Gentry ne nous présente pas ce film uniquement par passion, puisqu'il travaille actuellement sur la biographie de l'actrice Annie Belle.
