We first reported last month about the upcoming exploitation film House of Flesh Mannequins that's been grabbing a lot of attention and awards within the horror circuit.

We've recently been informed that the film is now available for pre-orders through Amazon.com (Click here to Pre-Order "House Of Flesh Mannequins".) The film will release via Empire Films on February 21. Check out the full details below from the official press release.

From The Official Release:
"House of Flesh Mannequins" is in part, an homage to the 1960 cult classic, "Peeping Tom" which is widely reported to be Martin Scorsese’s favorite film. Indeed, “House of Flesh Mannequins” even features a poster from the original film. But this is not a remake. The film also features a nod to the great European genre directors of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. Cinefiles will easilyrecognize the acknowledgements to Fulci, Argento and R.W. Fassbinder, as well as the surrealism of Cronemberg and Lynch and the outrageousness of Steve McQueen.

The thing that sets "House of Flesh Mannequins" apart from other genre films is Christapharo’s willingness to push the envelope. "House of Flesh Mannequins" uses real Italian porn and fetish stars in non simulated graphic scenes. According to director Christapharo, “Everything is real, but it’s a movie, so nothing is real.”

"House of Flesh Mannequins" stars Award winners Domiziano Arcangeli (who also produced), and Giovanni Lombardo Radice, along with the captivating Irena A. Hoffman. The film also features stars of the notorious, “Theatre of Blood.” “The Theatre of Blood" is about a diverse group of European performers who make a show out of cutting, piercing, sewing themselves and other extreme S & M activities. Bonus features on the DVD include even more bizarre performances by this troop. For all of its extreme nature, "House of Flesh Mannequins" has become an international phenomenon: In addition to Arcangeli and Radice’s acting awards, the film has also won multiple awards at prestigious festival on two continents.

Christapharo is not the only Domiziano who has been busy. Arcangeli’s Empire Films, which had a hit with the Lionsgate release Virus X in 2011, has 2 more films set for release in 2012: Brides of Sodom (which is set for release in late spring) and The Ghost Maker (set for a summer release). Arcangeli also stars in the upcoming films, “Territory,” directed by Everett Lewis, who’s last film was a selection at the Sundance Film festival, and Ivan Zuccon’s Wrath of the Crows, costarring horror icons Tiffany Shepis and Debbie Rochon.
