Grindhouse Releasing

Grindhouse Releasing (also referred to as "Grindhouse") is a cult film distribution company started by director/actor Sage Stallone (son of Sylvester Stallone) with co-partner and well-known film editor Bob Murawski (who has worked with Sam Raimi). Bob Murawski and Sage Stallone digitally re-master, restore, and put together "B-movie" and cult film DVDs for distribution as well as limited theatrical releasing.

Grindhouse Releasing particularly specializes in distributing rare and little-seen "exploitation films." "Exploitation film" is a loosely defined term for what some think is a sub-genre of films that typically sacrifice traditional notions of artistic merit for more sensationalist uses of violence, sex and/or gore, and where the focus is on the style and independent film maker's point-of-view (as opposed to traditional studio consensus film making).

Grindhouse Releasing was the first company to digitally remaster and restore cult classic horror films such as: "Make Them Die Slowly" (aka "Cannibal Ferox" (1981)) and Lucio Fulci's spaghetti-horror masterpiece, "E tu vivrai nel terrore" (aka "The Beyond") (1981) as well as the notorious cult classic, "Cannibal Holocaust" (1980).
