Mario Gariazzo's 'Play Motel' Bound for Blu-ray

The 1979 sexploitation/giallo film will seduce Blu-ray at the end of the month.

In an early announcement to retailers, RaroVideo will be releasing 'Play Motel' on Blu-ray on March 30.

A milestone production from Mario Gariazzo, notorious for his tasteless sexploitation epics such as The Sexorcist /LOssessa. Assembling here one of the worlds finest trash film collectives and eschewing all correct agendas, the director punctuates his fleshy tapestry with incredibly sleazy imagery involving Marina Hedmann/Frajese and Patrizia Di Rossi/Webley, the sluttiest actresses in Italian cinema. At the garishly lit Play Motel, these two warhorses and other bleached blondes are first seen being secretly photographed while having kinky sex. As the film serves also as a giallo, they are later stabbed to death by an assassin dressed in black. Conveying a sense of mad comedy, this inexhaustible supply of indignities and leopard skin underwear should be sought out at all costs.

Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements will include "The Midas touch" by Nocturno Video audio Italian with English subtitles, "Cut scenes", and a fully illustrated booklet curated by Nocturno Video.
