About REDEMPTION FILMS - Company having been formed in 1993 with the launch of our iconic film label Redemption. Redemption was a genuine ground-breaking film label which brought the works of Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Dario Argento, Mario Bava, Bruno Mattei, Lucio Fulci, as well as numerous other films that had previously been banned as video nasties or that were just not available, to a wide mainstream audience. Redemptions highly distinctive black, white and red packaging became instantly recognizable on the shelves of retailers and Redemptions insistence on releasing films in their correct ratios, in their original language and, UK censors permitting, uncut, rapidly established Redemptions reputation among horror fans. Since its founding the Redemption label has gone through a variety of changes and challenges including having had more films banned by the BBFC than any other distributor (Bare Behind Bars, The Sadist of Notre Dame, Sadomania, Love Camp 7), launched in the United States, and generally striven to maintain its reputation and commitment to cutting edge and transgressive cult cinema. With 2008 seeing Redemptions fifteenth anniversary there is a lot more to come and more provocative and challenging surprises in store from this truly original label.
