REDEMPTION
Exploiting cult sex and horror since 1993!
Redemption was the first film label in the world to see the commercial potential in releasing European exploitation films at a time when euro horror was dismissed and ignored by most critics and the wider film community. Redemption launched, in 1993, by championing the works of Jean Rollin, Jess Franco, Dario Argento, Massimo Dallamano, Bruno Mattei and many, many others. Films like Succubus, Requiem for a Vampire, Deep Red, Venus in Furs, What Have You Done to Solange?, Virgin Witch, and Vampyros Lesbos have all been released by Redemption, though often only after costly battles with the UK censors with whom Redemption has had a difficult history.To help raise awareness of these films, and to grow the Redemption brand, Salvation created a number of related publications and side projects, including The Redeemer magazine and the Nihilista newspaper, nightclub Black Mass, and the online group the Satanic Sluts, an all girl collective, whose live shows, which often mixed gore, sex and outrageous antics, saw them mentioned in the House of Commons and the Black Mass club, at which they performed, banned from three venues in three months!
Now, some 23 years later, Redemption continues to break boundaries, champion new films and hatch new ideas. So please keep checking out this site, join our mailing list, and watch out for the arrival of our new Ghoul Girl label in 2020!! See ghoulgirlfilms.com
EXHIBITION – REDEMPTION REVISITED
A selection of 100 images created in and around Redemption and Salvation Films between 1992 and 2014
JEAN ROLLIN
The Man Who Bought The Vampire To Life
Welcome to Salvation Films’ new dedicated new Jean Rollin section where, over time, we hope to have everything about Rollin; past, present and future covered. We will of course include information on all of our releases, or licensed releases, and related releases like soundtracks or books.
Redemption’s relationship with the films of Jean Rollin and with Rollin himself goes back to 1992 and the very beginning of Redemption when we started out as a company that would specialise in releasing European horror and exploitation films at a time when no one else was. At this time Rollin was virtually unknown and his work dismissed by most critics who had, watched his films, as both nonsense and nonsensical
THE SALVATION EXPLOITATION CHART
Here is our first UK chart made up entirely from online sales and absolutely nothing from retail and it is surprisingly different in that it includes a number of older releases that don’t usually feature in the chart. Films like Jess Franco’s Venus in Furs and 99 Women or pink titles like Bitter Sweet hardly ever make it into the Top Ten, likewise pink titles like Tokyo Fetish Models, Sexy Battle Girls and Tokyo Fetish, have all made an appearance this month. The star titles though are chart regulars Succulent Succubus at number two and Diary of a Secretary which shot up from tenth position last month to take the number spot!
You can watch these and many other titles at RedemptionTV.net
This month’s soundtrack to accompany the chart is fittingly a Song of Summer Solstice by the lovely Jonna Jinton which will hopefully give you a few minutes of calmness in an increasingly unhinged world

REDEMPTION TV
VILE, VISUAL & VOLUPTUOUS – TV SO SCINTILLATING IT’S LIKE BEING LICKED BY A CAT
Here at Salvation Films, we started the lockdown in true dystopian style by vowing to become even more antisocial and reclusive than usual and celebrated by expanding our watch section and making as many films and related material available to watch as possible. Indeed, our Watch section spread so rapidly amongst our digital disciples that it has mutated and become Redemption TV…
So, as you emerge tentatively into a new timorous world of social distancing, face masks and hand sanitizers where the smell of disinfectant has replaced perfume and the touching of flesh carries with it the hidden frisson of death and disease, get ready to run back indoors! Get ready for Redemption TV!
Redemption TV is home to some of the best in exploitation, horror, sexploitation and transgressive cinema as well as one of the biggest collections of Japanese Pink film outside of Japan! With new films being added every month Redemption TV will bring a breath of fetid air and digital devilry to your previously stay-safe-at-home world.
Now you can immerse yourself in a satanic wonderland of vampires, witches and salacious decadence mixed with a cornucopia of fleshy delights from Japan! These celluloid epics will be soon be joined by an ever-growing selection of programs featuring the very best in alternative lifestyle and culture, including, but not limited to, fashion, music, sex, short films, art and, on occasions, Satan himself..
The darkness is coming and so is Redemption TV.
Let there be light…

We forgot to mention yesterday, it was on 29th June '67 that Jayne Mansfield was tragically killed at the age of only 34.
An original blonde bombshell, one of the first Playmates, and named by Anton Lavey as a High Priestess of the Church of Satan... My kind of girl!
