WELCOME TO SALVATION FILMS
This is the website for Salvation Films and the home of the Redemption, Jezebel and Sacrament film labels as well as the notorious Satanic Sluts
Here comes summer and it’s going to be hot, hot, HOT!
The world’s burning up and people are going batshit crazy having been locked up, jabbed, pinged, probed and gagged for over a year and that’s just the fun stuff! So here at Salvation we have decided to add some fuel to the fire and ramp the heat up even more by unleashing some of our hottest titles this summer.
First on the grill is the follow-up to Confessions of a Sinful Nun, The Rise of Sister Mona in which our favourite sister is transferred to a new abbey run by the disciplinarian Mother Superior, Mother Joans. Expect lashings, whippings and some serious nun on nun action! Next up is the incredible flesh and lycra epic Girls of Wrestling featuring Ariel X and a squad of amateur female
wrestlers that she has to train and get ready for a big event. Expect to see plenty of tension, flesh and hot girl on girl action on and off the mat!
There is a change of tone and pace but not of temperature as if anything our new Carnal release, Becoming Elsa, is positively sizzling. Starring the incredibly gorgeous Elsa Jean in a ‘coming-of-age story of innocence lost and lust awakened’. In actuality the scintillating Elsa is welcomed into a house full of horny lesbians who can’t keep they hands, or tongues, off one of the sexiest women working in adult today. This a film that really will raise the temperature to boiling point!
On the Redemption side we have almost enough sleaze and slime to fill a cauldron give or take the odd toad. Standout releases include Wolfgang Büld’s Freudian trilogy of man-eating vaginas, twin envy and sick love which consists of Penetration Angst, Love Sick and Twisted Sisters, all starring the delectable Fiona Horsey. From Australia we have two exploitation gems in Bloodlust and Pearls Before Swine, starring all round bad boy Boyd Rice and directed by Richard Wolstencroft. From Brazil we have a brilliant Black Metal/Black Magic mash-up in Astaroth, a torrid tale of tattoos and perverse demons, while from Mexico we have Violent Delights, a sick, twisted and unbelievably gory tale of pregnancy and vampires…
Our Redemption summer releases will be crowned by several titles from the amazing Cosmotropia de Xam including Phantasmagoria, Black Mass of the Brain and Delirium. Be warned the style and visual aesthetic of these films is akin to having a strong narcotic injected
straight into your brain.
Finally, we just have space left to let our pink cinema fans know that our summer Japanese titles include Daisuke Gotô’s shocking and sad tale of love and lactation, A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn; Shinji Imaoka’s extraordinarily bizarre film of sex and sleep deprivation, Uncle’s Paradise, and Mototsugu Watanabe’s tale of devilish temptation, My Hero Chihiro.

9/11 – A Personal Memory of the Day
Anyone old enough to remember the tragic events of 9/11 probably also remembers what they were doing when they heard the news and watched as the drama played out during the day. I was sorting through some old pictures recently that I had put together for the magazine Metal Hammer and they will be forever and inextricably linked in my mind with 9/11. The pictures were of the all-girl band Kittie and the day they were taken was the 9th September 2001
Metal Hammer had contacted me because they were putting together a big feature on the all girl Canadian metal band Kittie, whose first album Spit had been a big success. They were in the UK to promote their new album Oracle. Metal Hammer had commissioned me to shoot the cover and unfortunately didn’t want me to drench the girls in blood or create some sort of dark sapphic fantasy (my usual style), instead they wanted a hard, no-nonsense look with a dark, violent undertone. So I came up with a set that would look like the shell of a burned-out building, with large structural pieces of wood all blacked and charred like the shell of a destroyed room and with a naked and seemingly dead or tortured man hanging upside down in the background. The girls would then, hopefully, strike suitably brooding or menacing poses in the foreground, or something like that…See More
The Salvation Exploitation Chart
Our thirteenth UK DVD chart, unlucky for some but not for us, as July has seen some of the best sales we have had in ages. In fact, we’ve had so much extra gruel on offer that we may have to put some of the Salvation elfies on a diet!
Our darkly erotic pink double bill, Tsumugi/Secret in the Attic was way ahead of the pack and has taken the number one slot, but the big surprise for us is Grant McPhee’s drug-addled take on the vampire legend, Night Kaleidoscope, which has come straight in at number two. Set in the backstreets of Edinburgh, Night Kaleidoscope tells the tale of a pair of sadistic vampires who are preying on the city’s drug addicts and homeless, killing as much for pleasure as they are for blood and is well worth checking out.
Another key chart notable this month is Amazon Hot Box, James Bickert’s gloriously OTT women in prison sleaze epic in which an environmental activist finds herself banged-up in what has to be the most depraved prison on earth. Controlled by a sort of Ilsa She-Wolf of the SS character and populated by every kind of despicable inmate imaginable, Amazon Hot Box really is an exploitation masterpiece.
Our RedemptionTV.net streaming chart is as eccentric and inexplicable as ever with the number one and two positions being taken by two real outsiders. At number one is Dark, Deadly and Dreadful, a horror anthology featuring a number of excellent horror shorts, and at number two is the Museum of Wonders by Domiziano Cristopharo. Museum of Wonders is an incredibly macabre film centred on a circus dancer, Salome, who, on hearing that the owner of the circus, a dwarf, has become rich, plans to seduce him and steal his inheritance. When the other circus people find out Salome’s evil scheme they plan a terrible revenge…
These two films are a good reminder of just how many hidden gems are available on RedemptionTV, so if you haven’t taken the plunge, stream a little dream today.
Our French chart went bonkers in July with more than ten times the number of streams that we had in June. In what was an extraordinary uptick in business our chart has taken on a whole new look with Blind Love, a fabulous pink film which centres on a blind girl who falls in love with a ventriloquist but mistakenly ends up dating his assistant. What could possibly go wrong in this seriously sexy comedy?
Other new entries in the French chart include Japanese Wife Next Door, an outrageous story of an office man who turns down marrying the woman he loves and chooses instead to marry a rich woman who proves to be a mental case and a sex maniac, and not in a good way!
You can buy the chart DVDs here or stream many other gems over at our sister site RedemptionTV.net
This month’s song to enjoy the charts with is Death No More by the Russian group IC3PEAK. IC3PEAK is experiencing a lot of trouble and censorship by the authorities in Russia at the moment and so deserve your support. The lead singer’s voice reminded us of Die Antwoord’s Yolandi Visser which is a great compliment and if you like this track then also listen to the vampire-themed Sad Bitch which is also available on Youtube.

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
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
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…
