  Severin Films gives a precious gift to psychotronic film fans with their Blu-ray release of THE MUMMY AND THE CURSE OF THE JACKALS (1969), a bonkers cheapie set in Las Vegas, wherein an Egyptologist with two sarcophagi, one containing a beautiful Egyptian princess, perfectly preserved, the other a dusty old mummy, finds himself turning into a dimestore werewolf, stricken by the titular curse. Sweet transfer and loaded with extras (including a bonus film from the same team), this one's a stunner.

  Radiance Films brings the fascinating and absorbing Italian drama BANDITS OF ORGOSOLO (1961) to Blu-ray in a crisp black and white transfer with illuminating extras. Reminiscent of BICYCLE THEIVES (1948) by Vittorio De Sica, this tale of Sardinian shepherds directed by Vittorio De Seta plays like a documentary, following a simple shepherd in the craggy mountains of Sardinia, and his attempts to evade the police and survive in an increasingly inhospitable landscape after being wrongly accused of murder. Excellent film, which will hopefully find a wider audience with this release. Get your copy now from Amazon at: https://amzn.to/3TIjfQr (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)
