Storm Clouds Gather in the Darkness of Spring
Our 2022 Spring schedule
Winter maybe ending but as storm clouds and war grows in the east so the darkness spreads and you may need some escape from what promises to be a difficult time. First off we are delighted to announce the arrival of our new publication, SALVATION, a very large format (350mm x 500mm) newspaper style magazine which will cover our releases, RedemptionTV, the new Satanic Sluts and Ghoul Girls as well happenings and people in the wider world of alternative film, media, art, music, fashion and politics.
SALVATION will effectively replace our previously planned publication, REW or Redemption Exploitation World, which we announced at the beginning of 2020 and which was then immediately caught up and scuppered by the Pandemic. SALVATION newspaper will be free to read or download in a digital format, however, there will be a very limited number of printed copies available to buy from this website – these will be available to preorder shortly. The cover of our first issue is shown here and the second issue will be available late April and every month thereafter. More details soon!
Our first UK DVD releases of 2022 are Twilight Dinner (Sacrament), Violent Delights (Redemption) and Becoming Elsa (Carnal) and these will be available to buy in the shops and online from late March/early April. They will be quickly followed by Shoot the Hero! (Redemption), Far from the Apple Tree (Redemption), Confessions of a Sinful Nun: The Rise of Sister Mona (Redemption), and Blind Love (Sacrament). We have a packed release schedule for 2022 and are hoping to release in the region of 20 films by the years end. Some of our key releases include French Blood, Pearls Before Swine, Astaroth, Black Mass of the Brain,Twisted Sisters, Silence of the Sushi Rolls, Deep Contact aka Whore Hospital 2, The Muse and many, many more.
As regards the US we should finally be able to make an announcement of our up and coming releases by the end of March with our first new titles being scheduled for release in the summer. Expect a news story and newsletter about this shortly.
Finally, we have an incredibly exciting slate of films lined up for streaming on our sister site, RedemptionTV.net and would encourage all of our fans and followers to enjoy the occasional stream alongside your physical purchases. Up and coming films include Space Vampires, Domina Nocturna, Anna and the Dead and some great new Pinku. Again, more details soon.

Eileen Days’ Sinema – a new series of filmic fun and fangtastic fantasy
Eileen Daly, Scream Queen extraordinaire, curvaceous beauty and, of course, the ‘face’ of Redemption will be hosting her own film show where she’ll be reviewing our releases and, rather alarmingly, telling us what she thinks of them. All in her own very unique way of course, so expect cheers and tears in equal measure…
Eileen Daly’s Sinema is free to view on our new Youtube channel, and is now on RedemptionTV.net where you’ll find Eileen causing trouble in the Cultural section.
More new original programs are coming soon.
The Salvation Exploitation Chart
Based on Sales and Streaming in May 2022
Our twenty-third UK DVD chart and Twilight Dinner has consolidated its place at the top of the chart for the third month in a row, despite the fact that Becoming Elsa and Violent Delights have been snapping at its heels.
The same applies to the whole of the May chart with most titles maintaining their positions from April, and the only new entries being re-entries rather than new titles. That said Violent Delights has climbed four places, from seven up to three, proving that you still enjoy and support obscure but exciting, independently made productions.
Our streaming site, RedemptionTV.net, is hardly ever the same from one month to the next and May’s top streams are another eclectic mix of horror, sleaze and erotica. At number one is Complicity, a real example of euro-erotica starring the fabulous Zara Whites who we interviewed and photographed for our original house magazine, The Redeemer.
Another wonderful example of creative and exciting independently made horror is this month’s number 2 stream, Domina Nocturna; a Brazilian vampire film by Larissa Anzoategui which we will also be releasing on Redemption DVD later in the year.
The only consistent title for Redemption TV was another indie horror title, Wolfgang Büld’s tale of literal man-eater Helen (Fiona Horsey) and her rather gory intimacy problems; in the number five slot, down from #2 last month.
Our new French chart follows.
You can buy the chart DVDs in our online shop or watch them now on RedemptionTV.net
This month’s Track To Enjoy the Chart To is Stay Soft by the Japanese/American singer, Mitski. It’s taken from her new album Laurel Hell and it’s great!

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
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…
