2024 – Resurrection and Revolution
2023, while certainly not an annus horribilis, certainly wasn’t the best year for us here at Salvation; there were too many bumps in the road which made it hard to achieve all of our goals. However, New Year’s offers the chance to begin again and we really hope that 2024 will see Salvation rise to new lows of depravity and vice; and to that end here is a brief overview and outline of our plans and releases for 2024.

Firstly, our much heralded US range has finally started with the first three titles now available to buy. They are S&M Hunter Begins, Sexy S.W.A.T. Team and Far from the Apple Tree. Followed shortly by Phantasmagoria, Uncle’s Paradise and Nude for Satan.
Still in the US, several of our Jean Rollin titles have been licensed to Shudder, so expect Rollin’s unique take on the vampire to reach more of the uninitiated over the coming months.
Speaking of Rollin, our licensing deal with Indicator is seeing many of the titles in our catalogue remastered in 4K, which, over time, will include all of the Jean Rollin films, including obscurities like Killing Car, The Sidewalks of Bangkok and, amazingly, La Comtesse IXE in all its hardcore glory; something we would have deemed nigh impossible a few years ago!
In the UK we have a truly incredible mix of Pinku, porn, exploitation, sleaze and horror lined up for 2024, including Mask, the Kekko Reborn, Prison Heat, Bloodlust, The Woman Who Sells Pro-biotic Drinks, Nipples, Space Necronomicon, Black Mass of the Brain, Snow Woman, Silence of the Sushi Rolls and many, many more.
Streaming
Our worldwide streaming site, RedemptionTV.net will soon be introducing subscriptions. So in addition to the wealth of filmic material already available to stream and the new titles we add each weekend, we will start to premiere our own newly produced material as well. The first of these productions is very, very nuncentric, and features numerous young women being sacrilegious and disgraceful in ways all Redemption fans will love.
RedemptionTV.net will also be joined by her wicked digital sister in the form of PurgatoryTV.net, our brand-new curated adult channel that will be featuring some of the darkest, gothest, and naughtiest material from around the world including Japan, Europe, and the US, as well as a few offerings from some of the baddest girls in the UK. More PurgatoryTV.net news soon…
Magazine
Encapsulating all of our cultural doings and likes is, of course, SALVATION, our newspaper-format magazine, which despite its somewhat erratic publication schedule, is now in production on its third and fourth issues, as well as its long outstanding special ‘Redemption’ issue 1.5; all of which will be published shortly.
We have some really exciting and innovative things being prepared for SALVATION ensuring that over time this limited publication will become a real collectors’ item.
To further grow the SALVATION magazine brand, we will very shortly be launching Salvationmag.com, a site specific to our publication which will feature related news and media every day. Expect an official announcement when the site goes live across social media later in the year
The Salvation Exploitation Chart
Based On Sales And Streaming In August 2024
Salvation Films
Our new release Ricky Greenwood’s Prison Heat, his sizzling adult take on the Women in Prison genre, has stormed into August’s charts and grabbed the number one position; finally toppling Borstal Bitches. Featuring girls so bad that they make the inmates of Saint Judith’s Borstal for young women look like saints, Prison Heat tells the tale of Linda, a new inmate and convicted murderer (you see how BAD these girls are?!), who is placed in a cell with the aptly named Hope; who shows her how to keep safe… Added to this mix are a wicked and very horny warden, lesbian bullies, and a depraved prison doctor, making this one of the hottest WIP films around.
New in at number two is another new entry, the infamous Australian gorefest, Bloodlust, directed by Australian bad boys Richard Wolstencroft and Jon Hewitt. An über gory mix of vampires, criminals, religious zealots, plus copious amounts of sex, violence, and Ozzie black humour. Centred on three violent vampires who steal three million dollars and then find themselves being pursued by even more violent nutters, Bloodlust is relentless, disgusting, and a must-see for lovers of gore, bad taste, and mammaries.
Pushed back to the number three slot is Borstal Bitches where the wannabe bad girls of Saint Judith’s spend their time getting spanked, disciplined and occasionally seduced. Featuring lashings of lesbian sex and quite a lot of spanking this torrid tale of tanned bottoms and coercive lust spent over half the year at number one, and deserves its own genre. See at all costs.
At number four is Yukio Kitazuwa’s madcap sci-fi tale Deep Contact which shows a comet on a collision course with Earth. A group of scientists working on ways to save mankind develop a special psychic power called Sexual Psychokinesis which is powered by a man and a woman with psychic powers which are unleashed when they have sex. Can they save Earth from Armageddon? Watch it and find out!
Meanwhile, Girls of Wrestling, another Ricky Greenwood title is resting on its laurels and staying at the number 5 position. Featuring some of the sexiest female wrestlers around, Girls of Wrestling is full of girl-on-girl action on and off the mat making this another epic release. Climbing four places to take the sixth position is Diary of a Secretary starring our favourite curvy star, Roberta Gemma, caught up in a world of secrets and desires.
Tsumugi, a troubling and highly erotic tale of a young woman and her much older lover, is also back in the charts at number seven; starring the fabulous Japanese actress Sora Aoi in her most challenging role. Equally challenging is the title at number eight, A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn, Daisuke Gotô’s touching story of a young widow, Noriko, who lives with her senile father-in-law on a farm. He believes that his favourite cow which has recently died is still alive. To save him from upset Noriko pretends to be the cow and lets him milk her every day, an arrangement she begins to enjoy…
At number nine is another Pinku title, Yutaka Ikejima’s extraordinary over-the-top Pinku sex comedy, Japanese Wife Next Door 2. In this tale a businessman who has decided to get married meets two women. One is very rich while the other is more homely. He decides to marry the rich one which is a big mistake as she turns out to be mad, a nymphomaniac, and from a family of sadomasochistic sex maniacs!
Finally at number 10 is the mischievously titled Milk the Maid which is, despite its name, not a film about a lactating maid, but rather a Pink film centred on a woman called ‘Milk’. Directed by Mototsugu Watanabe and starring the curvaceous adult actress Tia Bejean as Milk, who is befriended by a family when she is found wandering in the street. At first, they think she is a lunatic when she claims to be a ‘baby angel’ who must perform good deeds to get her wings. This being a Pinku title the deeds Milk performs are sexual and performed with gusto!

See you all next month for our next round-up of your favourite titles.
Don’t Forget You can buy the chart DVDs in our online shop, watch them now on RedemptionTV.net or read about them and everything else in our new magazine, SALVATION, which you can read for free or buy here
RedemptionTV.net continues to grow with streams coming in from all over the world, which perhaps explains why this chart is so eclectic and hard to predict from month to month.
For the first time a Satanic Sluts title, The Black Order Cometh, is number 1. Featuring a whole bevvy of Satanic Sluts acting out some of their darkest fantasies in a series of short films, The Black Order Cometh was the first of our Satanic Slut videos so it is exciting to see that there is still enough interest in our dark legion of gorgeous, gore loving, goth girls to get this title up to the number 1 slot.
While new in at number 2 is a scorchingly hot J-Girl Yummy title featuring the diminutive Japanese pornstar Alice Toyonaka, posing in (and out) of a variety outfits, and writhing for the camera. There’s more erotica at number 3 where stunning Hungarian model Brigitta Bulgari shows us just how she got to the top in Fashion.
Back in the charts again is one of our perennial favourites, Renato Polselli’s outrageous and delirious masterpiece of erotic horror, Black Magic Rites (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento… aka The Reincarnation of Isabel). Centred on a group of Satanists who plan to resurrect the witch Isabel, who was burnt to death 600 years before; this film just has to be seen to be believed.
Rounding off Redemption TV’s chart is Jason Impey’s disturbing Hatred, a contemporary tale of a woman, Nurse Meow who turns down a man’s unwelcome advances she finds that a man scorned can be as furious as any scorned woman. But he’s about to find out that this is one kitty that won’t be domesticated.
This month’s Track To Enjoy the Chart To is Viking War Trance track by the French band Eihwar who play a fantastic mix of Nordic folk, ritual chants, shamanic drumming, and electro beats which combine into a brutal-sounding pagan dance. They are fronted by the truly awesome Asrunn. Their first album is out on the 20th September 2024 – buy it!!

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 and join our mailing list.

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
