United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Alternative Footage, Anamorphic Widescreen, Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, Uncut, SYNOPSIS: Also known as Dirty Pictures, this fabulously trippy sexploitation thriller from Umberto Lenzi (Paranoia, Cannibal Ferox, Nightmare City) is a lost classic long unavailable to fans of classy kinky flicks. Two young sexually free hippies, Dick (Ray Lovelock) and Ingrid (Ornella Muti) finance their travels by selling naked snaps of Ingrid until their plan is brought to an abrupt end by the Police. Forced on the run the two seek refuge at a seemingly empty isolated large villa. As it turns out the house is inhabited by the middle-aged Barbara (Irene Papas) who invites them in for some potential three-way hanky-panky that soon locks them into something far more twisted and chilling! Set to a toe-tapping catchy pop score and filled with deliciously naked female flesh this is also an intriguingly dreamy giallo from the underrated Lenzi that chills into a suspense-ridden climax. …Oasis of Fear ( Un Posto ideale per uccidere ) ( Dirty Pictures )

Don’t miss it,
Don’t miss this movie…it would be shameless ! It’s an excellent movie directed by Umberto Lenzi. Between giallo and sexploitation. The story is quite simple : two young hippies are involved in the murder of a husband… Ornella Muti looks gorgeous, but also Irene Papas… very erotic. Ray Lovelock is one of my favourite actor in this kind of movies from the seventies… Thanks for bringing out this rare movie from one of the Italian B-Masters !

|Good Giallo – extremely poor transfer,
 Â
“Oasis of Fear” aka “Dirty Pictures” is a well made, tense little thriller loosely fitting into the Giallo bracket I suppose. The cast are uniformly good with Irene Papas stealing the show. Shameless have done well to re-discover this little gem but I must make a point of alerting potential purchasers to the quality of this dvd.
I’ve rarely seen such a poor transfer in this modern dvd era. This film (as good as it is) is almost unwatchable – certainly on a 55 inch LCD. The transfer is barely VHS quality – in fact it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that perhaps the Shameless release had orginated from a VHS master.
Shameless have a great catalogue and from what I’ve seen thus far titles available range from good to excellent transfers (with “Venus in Furs” being magnificent). I’d really have to question whether “Oasis of Fear” was even satisfactory for a dvd release at all in this state.
