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
As a new year begins here at Salvation we have decided to embrace both the old and new as we plan for 2021.
To begin with, we intend to make up for the dearth of UK releases in 2020 with a full, scintillating slate of new DVDs in 2021. These new releases include the following titles; Amazon Hot Box, Tsumugi/Secret in the Attic, Beach Volleyball Detectives, Violent Delights, Night Kaleidoscope, Sexy Time Trip Ninjas, Fashion, Astaroth and the fabulous Far From The Apple Tree (with Sorcha Groundsell from Netflix’s The Innocents).
In the US we will be resuming our Redemption and Jezebel Blu-ray releases, and will be announcing our 2021 line-up shortly.
More titles and release dates to follow. Keep up to date with them by signing up for our newsletter, or following us on social media for regular updates.
Our exciting new project, as regular followers of Salvation will know, is RedemptionTV.net, our worldwide streaming channel; where we currently have in excess of 100 titles available with two new titles added every Saturday.
In 2021 we will be offering subscriptions, and most importantly, begin the process of rolling the channel out worldwide, territory by territory, through one of the key media hubs. This will make RedemptionTV available to watch directly on your smart TV in the same way that you access Netflix and similar subscription channels. More on this, new films, and our own forthcoming, mind-blowing, satanically-inspired, lust-inducing, bloodcurdling and totally uniquely produced content, soon.
The Salvation Exploitation Chart
Our sixth DVD chart since the original lockdown and the UK has just announced another lockdown, making physical shopping a bit tricky again. That said, online orders are still being delivered! In terms of what you’re all actually buying then, it’s Japanese Wife Next Door 2 which is our Christmas number 1; topping the chart for the fourth month in a row! As for the rest of the Top Ten, it’s nuns, sex, and Japanese girls all the way, with a soupçon of Redemption as Jean Rollin’s Dracula’s Fiancée make a welcome return, alongside Jess Franco’s 99 Women.
Our streaming chart, while as eclectic as ever, is beginning to show consistency, in that nuns and Nunsploitation titles continue to dominate, with Sacred Flesh back at number 1 and the very naughty Confessions of a Sinful nun at number 3. Two new very welcome new additions though, are new release Grant McPhee’s fabulously haunting Far from the Apple Tree, which stars Sorcha Groundsell (the lead in Netflix’s series The Innocents), and Violent Delights, an extraordinary Mexican vampire film.
Finally, included here for the first time is a brand new streaming chart from France. A selection of Redemption titles are now available in France’s public libraries, so here is what our European cousins are enjoying…
At number one with far and away the most streams, is the bizarre Pink film, A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn, directed by Daisuke Gotô. This title will be released in the UK later this year, so keep your eyes peeled for that. At number two is The Pharmacist, a great Canadian movie about girls, guns and drugs, by director Chester Sit. The rest of the Top 5 shows that the French, like the English, just love Japanese Pink Cinema – with Twilight Dinner, Blind Love and Japanese Wife Next Door making up the rest of the chart.
Vive la difference!
You can buy the chart DVDs here or stream many other gems over at our sister site RedemptionTV.net
This month’s soundtrack to accompany the chart is Crystal Days by the very lovely Rose McDowall who, along with Shawn Pinchbeck, created the haunting soundtrack to ‘Far From The Apple Tree’. This fantastic soundtrack will be available as a separate CD in our special edition release of the film – more details soon.

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…
