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
Our ninth UK DVD chart since the original lockdown began and hopefully our last ever in captivity! Our main UK chart has gone completely awry with a new number one, Jean’s Rollin sexploitation epic, Schoolgirl Hitchhikers, in which the sexually charged Joëlle Coeur gets all sexed up with her girlfriend, Gilda Arancio before the pair find themselves at the mercy of a gang of sadistic crooks! Coming straight in at number one, Schoolgirls Hitchhikers kept our tale of sex, sorcery and more sex, The Order at number two.
There were no other surprises with the rest of the Top Ten being dominated by Japanese pink films and Italian erotica like Naked Desire, a wonderful tale of nun corruption, and Diary of a Secretary with the curvaceous and sultry Roberta Gemma in the lead role.
Our streaming chart continues to be as unpredictable as ever though you were very definite in your favourite with Grant McPhee’s haunting Far from the Apple Tree getting three times as many streams as its nearest rival to take the number one slot for the third time.
Other surprise entries this month are the surreal Satanic Slut title, A Girl, in which the genuinely fabulous, Hannah Short plays a woman very much on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Another woman, Japanese adult star, Koko Mashiro is at number three in J-Girl Yummy: Koko Mashiro doing what she likes to do best…
Our French chart was all change and no change with the same five titles occupying the Top Five as last month only they’ve been shuffled around a bit. Nude for Satan, Luigi Batzella’s epic tale of satanic doppelgangers and sexually aroused spiders, moves up five places to number one while the other titles barely move at all. That said, our prediction for next month is that either Cold Eyes of Fear or Asami Prison Girl claim the number one slot. Now, who would like to bet on that!
With spring in the air and peoples’ thoughts turning to the bird and the bees we thought a bit of brat pop in the form of HOLYCHILD’s family-friendly ditty, Bathroom Bitch, would fit the bill and be something to sing along with on long car journies. Lyrics kindly provided.

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…
