PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Cult cinema fans craving more on-demand content have something to celebrate this Fall. Severin Films, the DVD label that BlogCritics.org has said is "well on their way to becoming the greatest indie label of all time" has partnered with TLACult.com, the cult, horror and exploitation online superstore, to offer some of Severin's most controversial erotic films via streaming rental.
The initial batch of films available to stream instantly at TLACult.com includes 1979's Felicity starring gorgeous Glory Annen as a teen girl experiencing her sexual awakening; In the Folds of the Flesh, an ultra-lurid giallo epic starring Pier Angeli; Emanuelle in Bangkok starring sexploitation goddess Laura Gemser; and Vanessa, a '70s sexploitation coming-of-age tale starring the exceptionally beautiful Olivia Pascal.
"This is really exciting for us," gushed Dan Reed, Managing Editor of TLACult.com. "We've been huge admirers of Severin's for years and, when they came to us saying they needed a VOD home for their legendary erotic exploitation movies, we knew right away it was a perfect fit. We're large enough to have a platform for streaming rentals in place, but small enough to be free of the content restrictions against taboo materials and full-frontal nudity that the industry giants impose on themselves. Plus, our customers have purchased quite a lot of Severin DVDs over the years, so making these films available for our customers to stream was an absolute no-brainer."
The initial batch of films is available now for streaming rental here. Other selections include films by noted exploitation directors Joe D'Amato, Gérard Kikoïne and Lucio Fulci. TLA and Severin also plan to make more films available to stream in the next few months.
"We want to be the VOD home for people who love strange, obscure and—let's face it—kind of sleazy movies," Reed added. "The place to go for people who want to watch Laura Gemser run around naked or a sinister dwarf force young captives into prostitution or cartoons have sex with each other. Those people are our best customers and our deal with Severin enables us to give them more of what they want to watch."
Each film is available to stream for $3.99 (for a 7 day rental) at TLACult.com and will also be available on TLA's adult site TLARAW.com.
TLA Entertainment offers a vast catalog of movies for every type of consumer, from quirky independent cinema to outstanding cult and horror movies to gay and lesbian films and the hottest in both straight and gay adult entertainment.
