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
Welcome the DARKNESS, Embrace the CHAOS : Find SALVATION
The world is slowly being released from its time in the slammer and is now out on vaccine bail. So before our governments conspire to lock us all up again we’re planning to unleash, on both physical and digital media, some of the newest and most exciting visual material we’ve seen in ages.
First off the chopping block are the films of director and musician, Cosmotropia de Xam, whose work we really like. His films are an extraordinarily powerful mix of experimental and visual polemics, mixing imagery that is evocative of Rollin, Franco, Argento, Borowcyzk and the exploitation genre coupled with hypnotic and sometimes disturbing soundtracks by Mater Suspiria Vision.
Redemption has signed up seven of Xam’s films including Acid Babylon and Phantasmagoria and we will be the first company to release them commercially anywhere in the world. The first releases will also include Black Mass of the Brain and will be available on the Redemption label in both the UK and US and worldwide on Redemption TV. More details soon.
In addition to these visual wonders we will also be catching up on physical releases across all of our labels including on our pink cinema label Sacrament; Sexy Timetrip Ninjas, Tsumugi/Secret in the Attic, Beach Volleyball Detectives, Uncle’s Paradise, and My Hero Chihiro.
On Redemption, we have an amazingly sleazy and international mix with Amazon Hot Box from the USA, the wonderfully bonkers Violent Delights from Mexico and the Black Magic and Black Metal mash-up, Astaroth, from Brazil. There are many other exciting titles as well including, at long last, Grant McPhee’s haunting tale of obsession, Far from the Apple Tree.
Finally, for those of you who prefer your visual pleasures to have a more earthy feel, we have on our Jezebel label some real treats, including the very naughty Italian films, Women’s Nature, Donna Matilde and The Gm Affair.

The Salvation Exploitation Chart
This is our eleventh UK DVD chart since the beginning of lockdown and the second since the UK reopened. We have seen a welcome and much-needed increase in sales driven, in part, by our new releases. Tsumugi/Secret in the Attic, Sexy Timetrip Ninjas and Amazon Hot Box have all stormed into the chart taking the top three spots.
At number one is Sexy Timetrip Ninjas. A fabulous tale of male and female ninjas from rival medieval clans who are catapulted through a time portal into 1980s Tokyo, where a mad adventure of sex and craziness ensues!
While other Japanese titles like, Maid in Japan and the Succulent Succubus, continue to dominate the chart there are signs of a fightback from our Jezebel label. Jezebel specialises in European erotica and exploitation. Jean Rollin’s sexploitation epic Schoolgirl Hitchhikers continues to do extremely well, as does The Order featuring a heady mix of sex and satanism!
With more new releases coming in June (Beach Volleyball Detectives) and July (Naked Kaleidoscope, The Women’s Nature and Uncle’s Paradise) it will be interesting to see how sales pan out in the world of exploitation cinema!
Our RedemptionTV.net streaming chart continues in its own eccentric and unpredictable way. Out of nowhere Jean Rollin’s incredible tale of female vampires running amok in Paris takes the number one slot. Just behind is Rollin’s little seen film, The Escapees, a tale of two girls who escape from an asylum into a bizarre and dystopian world of misfits, criminals and sexual predators.
This month also sees the welcome entry into the RedemptionTV chart of two obscure and highly recommended films. Firstly is Blood Freaks, a grungy Mexican title which paints a portrait of Mexico City through a series of dark, grotesque, sordid and violent characters. Secondly is Donna Matilda a heady a mix of inheritance and infidelity, mixed with really strong sex scenes! Marvellous!
The French chart sees a new entry and a new number one with the bloody Japanese film Twilight Dinner. A man who enjoys the sexual pleasures of two sisters finds that their tastes are very, very dark indeed… Aside from Twilight Dinner there is little change, Nude for Satan, Luigi Batzella’s epic tale of satanic doppelgangers and sexually aroused spiders, drop one place to number two. Redemption classics Black Magic Rites and the Sinful Nuns of Saint Valentine keep their third and fourth chart positions.
Continuing at number five we are pleased to see the amazing Russian noir-esque film, The Lightest Darkness. We consider this to be one of the most stylish and visually stunning films; we cannot recommend it enough. See it now on RedemptionTV.net and soon on Redemption DVD.
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 the PIXIES – All I Think About Now. Enjoy.

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…
