Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (Shameless Films)

For the release week of 8/1/17:

Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Strange Vice Of Mrs Wardh [Blu-ray / Shameless Films]: I’ve not yet seen this 1971 giallo from Sergio Martino, starring the lovely Edwige Fenech, but Troy Howarth, the author of the essential giallo reference, So Deadly, So Perverse: 50 Years of Italian Giallo Films called it “one of the finest gialli ever produced.” That’s good enough for me.  The Blu-ray is from the U.K., but it’s region-free.

Additional Titles of Interest — 

Slither [Collector's Edition] [Blu-ray / Scream Factory]: Before James Gunn helmed Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, he made this wonderfully gooey and gross horror comedy, starring Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker.

Shin Godzilla [Blu-ray/DVD Combo + UV /FUNimation]: The newest flick featuring the big guy is released on video this week.

Colossal [Blu-ray / Universal]: Speaking of Kaijū, this well-reviewed dark comedy/giant monster movie mash-up, starring Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, and Dan Stevens, is also out this week. I’m very curious about this one.

The Intruder (1975) [Blu-ray / Garagehouse Pictures]: Unreleased theatrically or on video until now, this slasher starring Mickey Rooney and Yvonne DeCarlo comes to Blu-ray.  Will our lives ever be the same?
