Prevues Of Coming ONAR FILMS Attractions!

If you are a fan of weird and obscure non-Hollywood films, you might have heard of a little Greek company called Onar Films! It releases Turkish exploitation fantasy/superhero flicks from the 60's and 70's! At the time of writing this, Onar has released three supercool DVD's: KILINK IN INSTANBUL, KILINK VS SUPERMAN + KILINK STRIP AND KILL (A Double Feature), and 3 DEV ADAM (3 MIGHTY MEN). If you haven't got them already, you should check them out!

A few weeks ago, Worldweird Cinema had an Onar Films Appreciation Week, giving reviews of all their DVD's and more. Then other sites followed up showing their support to Onar. Now, Prevues are also doing it! Although not in the grand scale like WWC ;). But I am gonna give you a little preview of what's coming from Onar in the future. A trailer for their upcoming Aska Susayanlar Seks Ve Cinayet (aka. Thirsty For Love, Sex And Murder):

This film seem to very inspired by the Italian giallo, with lots of hot babes being killed by a razor wielding sadistic and mean maniacal killer. Can't wait to see this! You can check it out here, 14Mb. It is also available on Onars trailersite here, but only as a stream. And who doesn't want it as a glorious low-def .avi?! ;)

So what can we expect from Onar in the future? Well, in a post from Bill Barounis (Mister Onar himself) over at WWC, he gives us these titles:

September 2006, double-bill: ASKA SUSAYANLAR SEKS VE CINAYET( THIRSTY FOR LOVE SEX AND MURDER) & OLULER KONUSMAZ KI (THE DEAD DON'T TALK).

October 2006, double-bill: SUPERMEN DONUYOR (SUPERMAN RETURNS aka. TURKISH SUPERMAN) & DEMIR YUMRUK DEVLER GELIYOR (IRON FIST THE GIANTS ARE COMING).

Christmas 2006, double-bill: TARZAN ISTANBUL'DA & TARZAN KORKUSUZ ADAM.

Check out the trailer for Tarzan Korkusuz Adam (1974). Tarzan sure like to scream!



Early 2007, double-bill: CASUS KIRAN & DEMIR PENCE KORSAN ADAM. (Two superhero-films).

And more superhero-stuff, maybe some Zorro-films (!), and some of the oldest known Turkish films! Check out this one called ORUMCEK (THE SPIDER), looks like it's a good one:


Bill says that "AS LONG AS I GET MY MONEY BACK I WILL RELEASE ALL TURKISH FILMS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH SUPERHEROES, HEROES, HORROR, CULT, TRASH AND YOU KNOW WHAT...!" How cool is that? It's supercool's what it is!

Be sure to check out this interview with Bill over at Cinema Strikes Back.
