Studiocanal has announced two more Blu-ray and DVD titles on its Cult Classics label coming in September 2023, Blazing Magnum (1976) and The Antichrist (1974). Both films are directed by Alberto De Martino and have been restored.

Blazing Magnum (1976) is an Italian crime action film, that is often compared to Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry. It stars Stuart Whitman, John Saxon, Martin Landau and Tisa Farrow.
The second film is The Antichrist (1974) an Italian horror film, starring Carla Gravina, Mel Ferrer and Arthur Kennedy.
A paralyzed woman seemingly becomes possessed by the Devil following a hypnosis session that was supposed to cure her disability.
