After a hiatus of 16 months, alternative North American film distribution company Artsploitation Films has announced its upcoming summer line-up of international films. From the comedic to the horrific; the unsettling to the blood-curdling; and from the erotic to the controversial, the films showcase the best and most innovative genre movies the world has to offer.

We have had the pleasure of reviewing two of the following titles already, and both were pretty damn good. Frankly, that’s the quality you can expect from Artploitation. They consistently release quality international films. Read on to see what’s headed our way in the near future.
