Their next announcement in the 30 days, 30 announcement series is again something where I'd say: "Oh god, please no!". Luckily it is just the bonus movie for another release. I don't know why, but Wicked decided to just concentrate on the bonus movie in their announcement and just mentioned THE COMEBACK in one little sentence. They even dedicated the artwork for SCHOOL OF SEX, which I hope will not count as nudity (if it does, please just remove the image, if possible).

In thier Pete Walker collection, wicked have already released 4 movies:

  • House of Whipcord
  • House of Mortal Sin
  • The Flesh and Blood Show
  • Frightmare
     

With this release, they are doing something rather unusual - releasing two movies in one edition. I guess, because SCHOOL FOR SEX (1969) doesn't really fit both - the filmography of Pete Walker (this was his third movie and before his start of horror movies) as well as the lineup of Wicked Vision, and may be too unknown to be interesting enough for buyers on it's own - I could only find one Blu-ray release from 2016 in the USA - no one else has touched this movie until now and Wikipedia has literally just three lines of text about it: "School for Sex is a 1969 British sex film directed by Pete Walker. The film was very popular at the box office. In France it enjoyed 72,000 admissions in its opening week.". From the trailer you'd see that it's not a pornographic movie but rather a really strange and absurd british comedy that includes a lot of nudity. For this reason I won't link the trailer (if you are old enough you know how to find it yourself anyways) and concentrate on the other - in my opinion far more interesting - film:

THE COMEBACK from 1978 is his third to last (maybe that's how these two films are connected into one release: his third and his third to last?) movie and tells the story of an successful singer who retreats to a remote manor to record his next album. However he is stalked by a person in a hag's mask who is out for blood and already killed the singer's ex wife.

 

This classical slasher movie has been released in the USA and Canada in 2012 as a boxset release with 3 other Pete Walker movies, as well as a single release in 2013 (in both Countries), and is therefore again an European premiere. It got mixed to positive reviews with the main critic being that for a slahser movie it is a bit soft. Still it got the Best Cinematograpy award at the Stiges Film Festival. As a more conventional movie in Walkers filmography it is often credited as "Forshadowing the development of the slahser movie of the 1980s", and therefore considered a must see by slasher aficionados.

All in all it is really strange to see this movie get bundled with the SCHOOL FOR SEX one. Then again, in my oppinion any bonus movie is a better addition to a release, than having just a DVD copy of the same movie, these days.
