Another Look at NoShame Films

Our forum member kfelon informs us that an article posted at twitch.com on November 23, 2007 states that NoShame Films is in the process of releasing Dario Argento's 'Door Into Darkness' in February of 2008 for a US Region 1 release. They write:

Twitch has (as do many sites) a relationship with NoShame‘s USA arm which goes back to their relatively recent inception and shrouded-in-mystery demise, or should I say apparent demise. People have been scrambling to pick-up DVDs from their reasonably prolific output of USA DVDs in recent times, fearing the worst and predicting they’ll be permanently OOP soon as there was no true and concrete sign NoShame would be back from a regrouping of their business, or from an apparent trip to secure USA rights for further releases - well, in with the rumors that had been flying around forums in recent months, there was a mention for a wider release for a TV Series of four hour-long films partly directed by Argento in his earlier career years, under a few different names as it happens, that has appeared in a scarce Dragon DVD over in Germany in years gone by. 

  So it appears that NoShame Films will start releasing some titles this year. Although their website has not changed in almost 2 years now, and Snackbar Budapest has been on their upcoming releases for almost 3 years, it would be interesting to see what follows this Argento classic. In the meantime however, the remaining titles have moved in and out of availability, while some remained out of print. Here are some titles that are no longer available for purchase on Amazon.

 

NOTES:

EDIT: 1/30/08

As it was pointed out to me, that The Strange Vice and All the Colors of the Dark are actually 2 different films (just the same people working on the film, thus my confusion - heh). So, the NoShame edition of Mrs. Wardh has not been re-released under another title as I previously thought. Thank you. 

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow is still available released from Koch, but with a horrible transfer that its almost not worth getting.
