Shigetomo (Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters' Tatsuo Hananuno) and his young apprentice Yosaku (Harakiri's Akira Ishihama) hike deep into the woods in search the idea tree for his commission to carve a statue of the goddess Kannon. As night falls, the two shelter in a cabin and fall asleep around the fire. A blizzard springs up inexplicably and brings with it Yuki-onna, the Snow Woman who drains Shigetomo of his life essence, freezing him with her icy breath. She then notices Yosaku and is struck by his youth and beauty, sparing him but holding him to a promise that he will never speak of seeing her to anyone or she will find him and kill him. As Yosaku convalesces in the home of his master cared for by his widow (Rhapsody in August's Sachiko Murase), the tree that Shigetomo chose is delivered ...

While his family see him taking his brother's place in the family business interests is a move up from his "disgraceful" work teaching literature to children in the row houses, Shinzaburô is disgusted with the elitism of his family who look down on the people who work for them. On the first night of the three day Bon festival of the dead, Shinzaburô makes the chance acquaintance of the beautiful Otsoyu (Lady Snowblood's Miyoko Akaza) and her maid Oyone (...

"Four Mothers" (2024) Edward Brady (played by James McArdle) is an Irish writer on the verge of a big break. His young-adult novel about two young men has been gaining traction through Tiktok and he has just booked a deal with an American publisher. They are set on having Edward promote the book through podcasts and interviews as well as a book signing tour in America, but he is finding it difficult to focus his attention on the success. He is the caretaker of his mother Alma (played by Fionnula Flanagan) who suffered a stroke and lost the ability to speak, as well as having weak legs. His attention is focused on his weak yet tough mother’s well-being, but that only gets complicated as his friends Billy (played by Gordon Hickey), Colm (played by Gearoid Farrelly), and Dermot (played by Rory O’Neill) decide to drop off their mothers at Edward’s home while they selfishly take a trip to a Pride event in the Canary I...

Sir Richard Fordyke (The Power of One's John Turner) returns to Fordyke Hall with his new bride Lady Elizabeth (The Phantom of the Opera's Heather Sears) to a chilly reception from the locals after a village girl who had been raped died screaming his name. Although Sir Richard was a hundred miles away during the crime, his paralyzed father Sir Giles' (A Night to Remember's Joseph Tomelty) steward Seymour (Straw Dogs' Peter Arne) informs him of talk of witchcraft and deviltry among the villagers. Worse yet, the villagers have claimed to see Sir Richard on horseback at night being pursued by the specter of his first wife Anne - who supposedly committed suic...

Dennis Hopper’s "Out of the Blue" is a jagged, raw nerve of a film, an uncompromising meditation on disillusionment, generational dysfunction, and punk nihilism. Initially conceived as a conventional Canadian family drama, Hopper’s takeover of the project reimagined it into something far more radical and unsettling. The result is a powerful, if often harrowing, portrait of adolescence gone awry in a world that offers no safety net. The story centers on Cebe (Linda Manz), a teenage girl obsessed with Elvis Presley, Johnny Rotten, and the idea of escaping her broken home. Her father Don (Dennis Hopper), fresh out of prison after a drunk driving accident that killed a busload of children, is a volatile mix of shame, denial, and self-destruction. Her mother, Kathy (Sharon Farrell) is emotionally absent and addicted to heroin. Trapped between these two toxic poles, Cebe oscillates between rebellion and vulnerability, searching for identity ...

Expelled from Catholic school before the end of the term, young Corringa MacGrieff (La Belle Noiseuse's Jane Birkin,) boards a train for Scotland and Dragonstone, the ancestral home of her aunt Mary (Borsalino's Françoise Christophe,) where her mother Alicia (The Night Child's Dana Ghia,) is spending the holidays. Corringa interrupts a chilly conversation between the two sisters over the money Mary needs to hold onto the castle, and her mother is murdered soon after. Although Mary's lover Dr. Franz (The Beast Must Die's Anton Diffring,) - psychiatrist to her mad son James (...

Without a master to serve, samurai Iemon (An Actor's Revenge's Kazuo Hasegawa) supports himself and his sickly wife Oiwa (Rodan's Yasuko Nakada) by making umbrellas, much to the offense of Oiwa's uncle (Adauchi's Hanzô Kataoka) who attributes Iemon's inability to secure a position to laziness and sets him up for an interview with Lord Ito (Resurrection's San'emon Arashi), assuring him that the traditional gift of a barrel of sake should be enough to flatter his potential employer. Iemon, however, is humiliated when Ito chooses another samurai – for what amounts to a security guard position on construction sites – who comes with an influential ...

International Fantasy Film Award (Best Screenplay): Oldrich Lipský and Jirí Brdecka (winner) and Best Screenplay: Oldrich Lipský (nominee) - Fantasporto, 1984 Traveling in the Carpathians to rest his voice, aristocratic tenor Count Felix Teleke of Tölökö (Dialogue 20-40-60's Michal Docolomanský) and his valet Ignác (Closely Watched Trains' Vlastimil Brodský) are struck by the splendor of a ruined mountaintop castle when they come across assistant forester Vilja Dézi (The Golet in the Valley's Jan Hartl) who appears to be suffering from some kind of shock. Taking him to the inn at nearby village West Werewolfstein, they learn from his fiancee (Little Otik's ...

You might know him as Josef from Creep or Aaron from Creep 2, Mark Duplass' serial killer is a born performer and the Shudder series The Creep Tapes – created by the film's writer/director Patrick Brice (The Overnight) – reveals just how adaptable he is with his modus operandi of luring filmmakers to remote places to film him, playing with his prey, and then killing them in a series of shorter episodes. In "Mike" (26:23), a struggling filmmaker (Mike Luciano) drives up into the mountains to film a portfolio reel for a man hoping to audition for an exclusive acting program while "Elliot" (23:45) is a birder (David Nordstrom) given a tip by a blog follower about the sighting of a rare bird in a remote area of the...

"Throne of Blood" 「蜘蛛巣城� (1957) After successfully defending their fortresses in battle, General Washizu (played by Mifune Toshiro) and General Miki (played by Chiaki Minoru) are ordered by their Lord Tsuzuki (played by Tachikawa Yoichi) to return to their castle. Sifting through a thick fog and through a massive forest, they encounter a ghostly witch (played by Naniwa Chieko) who foretells them their future: Washizu would be promoted to head the north garrison while Miki would be promoted to the head of the first fortress. In addition, she tells them that Washizu will eventually rise to become the lord of the castle, with Miki’s adult son Yoshiteru (played by Kubo Akira) taking the reign afterward. After returning to the castle, the first fortune comes true, with both of them receiving the said promotions. Washizu is perplexed but also in awe that the prophecy came true, as it would also mean his rise to ...

Sidney socialite Daisy Munroe (13 Gantry Row's Rebecca Gibney) ducks out on yet another plastic surgery appointment and tries to lose herself in the party scene only to get a rude awakening when her credit card is declined in a three-thousand dollar donation to one of her friends' charitable causes and she learns that her "sugar daddy" Stanley Oakley – who was married to her late mother forty years ago – has passed away, and with him her line of credit. Fortunately, she believes, he has made her the sole heir to his New Zealand vineyard in Peak View. Upon arrival, however, she leanrs from Ray's solicitor Vic (Power of the Dog's Cohen Holloway) that she is actually the "soul heir" to Stanley's legacy (including a three-legged cat called Pussy Galore) along with his nephew Louis Oakley (Philomena's ...

A Fistful of Dollars (Sergio Leone, 1964) What can be said about Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and its two sequels, For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), that hasn’t been said many times before? This curious trio of films has been a gateway drug for many young people – a gateway to a fascination with Italo-Westerns, with European genre cinema generally, with the Western. Speaking personally, as a child growing up in the 1980s it was my now-late father’s abiding love of Leone’s Westerns that led me to enjoying both American Westerns and other Italo-Westerns, which connected with my burgeoning fascination – during the “video nasty� era – with Euro-horror films. This was fostered on UK television by series such as Alex Cox’s “Moviedrome� and ITV’s “Le Continental,� both of which regularly screened Italo-Westerns by filmmakers other than Leone – leading to the realisation that there were many (over 400, reputedly)...

Todd Field’s "In the Bedroom" is a devastatingly quiet, emotionally suffocating exploration of grief, class tension, and the invisible fragility of domestic life. Adapted from Andre Dubus’s short story “Killings,� the film trades in overt melodrama for controlled, precise storytelling that allows its emotional weight to accumulate gradually — until it becomes almost unbearable. Set in a coastal Maine town, the narrative orbits around the Fowler family: Matt (Tom Wilkinson), a reserved doctor; Ruth (Sissy Spacek), a choral music teacher with a stern streak; and their son Frank (Nick Stahl), a college-bound young man involved with an older woman, Natalie (Marisa Tomei). Frank’s relationship — complicated by Natalie’s abusive estranged husband — becomes the catalyst for a chain of events that dismantles the seemingly serene Fowler household. Field, in his feature directorial debut (after having made several shorts and an ...

Signals: A Space Adventure: When explorer ship Ikarus searching for signs of intelligent life just outside the orbit of Venus receives strange signals just before encountering an occluded meteor shower and breaking up, no manned or unmanned vehicles have been able to find them and they are written off by Space Security Headquarters as a mystery until Commander Veikos (Deluge's Piotr Pawlowski) makes a special request to do another search more than half-a-year later under the guise of doing routine repairs lest he get the hopes up of his specially-selected crew which includes colleague Konrad (The Rabbit is Me's Alfred Müller) who has been doing revolutionary radio wave research and has been trying to trans...

"Savior" is a grim, unflinching portrait of war's dehumanizing effect on the soul. Set during the Bosnian War, the film follows Joshua Rose (Dennis Quaid), a former American soldier whose descent into moral numbness and violence begins with a personal tragedy and ends amid the ruins of a brutal ethnic conflict. Director Predrag Antonijević eschews sentimentality in favour of a harsh realism that challenges the viewer to confront the ethical void created by modern warfare. Dennis Quaid gives a startling, career-defining performance, burying his usual charismatic persona beneath layers of hardened stoicism and moral fatigue. His character, under an assumed identity and now a mercenary, rarely speaks, but every glance and gesture conveys the psychological weight he carries. This is a performance stripped of vanity, and Quaid fully commits to the bleakness of the role, making Joshua both repellent and heartbreakingly human. The film is unrelentingly raw in tone, immersing the viewer in the chaos and cruelty of the Bosnian conflict without offering easy resolutions or heroic arcs. Sce...

When young woodsman Wei (The Victim's Chang Yi) comes home to discover that his parents and his younger brother have been brutally murdered and his sister (Golden Swallow's Chiu Sam-Yin), he recognizes that the mortal wounds were caused by the weapons of a Quikun bow, Xiulun axe, and sword of a trio of bandits who has accosted him earlier in the day. Burying his family and burning down their farm, Wei takes to the roads with revenge on his mind and only his mother's bell bracelet as a keepsake. Witnessing a "chivalrous swordsman" (The Enchanting Shadow's Yang Chi-Ching) decimate the villainous "Eight Heroes of Yanzhou", Wei chases the man down and begs him to take him on as his pupil. Five years later, Wei goes in search of the men, rescuing Hsiang Hsiang (...

"Man Bites Dog" is a disturbingly audacious piece of cinema—a satirical mockumentary that weaponizes the documentary form against itself. Shot in grainy black-and-white on a shoestring budget, the film chronicles a film crew’s descent into complicity as they follow and document the daily routine of Ben (Benoît Poelvoorde), a charismatic and philosophical serial killer. What begins as a detached observer’s perspective soon spirals into a perverse collaboration, blurring the lines between reportage and participation. At the core of the film’s transgressive power is Benoît Poelvoorde’s performance as Ben. He plays the role with such chilling casualness and wry humour that it forces viewers into an uneasy complicity, laughing one moment and recoiling the next. Ben speaks with the cadence of a poet or a professor, waxing on about urban gentrification, architecture, or the weight of corpses, giving the film an unsettling blend of intellectualism and savagery. The brilliance of "Man Bites Dog" lies in its meta-critique of media ethics and voyeurism. As the crew begins to aid Ben—holding down victims, providing logistical ...

The dawn of the twentieth century brings the promise of a new world to almost everyone in Bohemian bourgeoise society except Stepa Killanova (I Killed Einstein, Gentlemen's Iva Janzurová). A beautiful free spirit popular in the theatrical society and always au courant with her Viennese hats, she is also thirty years of age and unmarried with her prospects dwindling. Her mother (Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea's Marie Rosulková) disapproves of her preferred suitor in a schoolteacher Paulik "poor as a church mouse" while her father (The Liberation of Prague's Ota Sklencka) disapproves of middle-aged tax clerk Groman (How About a Plate of Spinach?'s Stanislav Remunda...

Brady Corbet’s "The Brutalist" is a meditative, ambitious, and emotionally austere drama that immerses the viewer in a world where architecture, exile, and identity intersect under the long shadow of 20th-century upheaval. Told with formal rigor and painterly restraint, the film follows Hungarian Jewish architect László Toth (Adrien Brody) as he emigrates to the United States after World War II and attempts to shape not only buildings but a new life amid personal and political contradictions. Brody’s performance is understated but powerful—his László is a man deeply shaped by loss, choosing silence and structure over chaos and expression. A performance that earned Brody his second Oscar for Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role. Felicity Jones, as his wife Erzsébet, brings emotional complexity to a role that could easily have been overshadowed by the film’s conceptual ambitions. Their relationship is strained, ambiguous, and quietly devastating, mirroring the emotional repression that defines the film’s worldview. Corbet’s direction is meticulous, often opting...

"The Fall" (2006) Taking place in a Los Angeles hospital in the 1920s, Alexandria (played by Catinca Untaru) is a six year old girl recovering from a broken arm. She befriends a young man named Roy (played by Lee Pace), who is a silent film stuntman that suffered an on set injury that has left him unable to walk and bedridden. The two become close as he starts reciting an adventure story about five men and their quest for revenge, all ready to take down an evil governor that brought suffering to each of them. Every day, Alexandria comes to his bedside to hear the continuation of the story, but for Roy it is not just storytelling for pure enjoyment. It is to have her do tasks that he cannot do otherwise, which includes stealing extra pills from the infirmary… At glance, "The Fall" might seem like a similar situation as "The Princess Bride", in which the story is told through the voice of the adult while a child listens, with occasional moments of the child stopping the narrative at awkward...

When Pahoota's AM radio station KDUL discovers that they can transmit nationwide at 666 MHz, station owner Vernon Locknut (The Shadow's Aaron Lustig) ditches the "All Polka" format in favor of hiring rock DJ Dan O'Dare (Bad Lieutenant's Paul Hipp), recently fined by the FCC for the on-air broadcast of his sexual encounter with another radio talent. Stuck covering the fluff assignment is Cable World News reporter Lisa Cummings (Dead Heat's Martha Quinn) who finds her own citing and other local reports of a UFO more interesting and runs off with the sheriff (Victor Rogers) to investigate a report. The reports turn out to be true as an alien and his robot partner take over the station with DJ Dan and his engineer Corky (...

"Shattered Glass", directed by Billy Ray and based on true events, is a gripping and incisive drama that explores the ethical fragility of journalism through the downfall of Stephen Glass, a once-celebrated young writer for The New Republic. The film stars Hayden Christensen as Glass and features a strong supporting cast, including Peter Sarsgaard, Chloë Sevigny, and Steve Zahn. More than a simple exposé of a scandal, the film functions as a cautionary tale about truth, credibility, and the seductive allure of success. At the heart of "Shattered Glass" is Stephen Glass himself—a charming, insecure, and compulsively dishonest reporter who fabricated over half of the stories he published. Christensen, best known at the time for his controversial role as Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels, delivers a surprisingly nuanced performance. He portrays Glass not as a moustache-twirling villain, but as a deeply troubled individual caught ...

Hollywood’s “Vampire Killer� has struck nine times and left his victims drained of blood. The media is playing up the vampire angle, and even some of the cops think there’s something creepy about the elusive killer. When Detective Al Childress (Village of the Giants' Robert Random) ends up with his throat slashed and his body drained of blood, colleague Roger Sutter (Flesh Gordon's Jason Williams) wants in on the case; however, his less than diplomatic means of dealing with the press put him in hot water with image-minded Captain Takato (Ted Hamaguchi). Meanwhile, “private session� clients of psychoanalyst/hypnotherapy guru Dr. Victor Radikoff (Lethal Weapon's Gustav Vintas) have been helping him dispose of his drained vic...

Unicom motorcycle courier Tyson (Drive Thru's Paul Ganus) delivers a shipment of Freon to an abandoned power station-turned-TV studio in the middle of the desert run by Lathan Hooks (Girls on the Road's Ralph Waite) and his 16-year-old granddaughter Arren (Amityville 1992: It's About Time's Megan Ward). Lathan is resentful of Unicom, who have influenced the government into banning the use of computers by civilians (who they blame for causing an economic collapse) as well as the use of Synthoid robots (because of something having to do with the Book of Revelations), but Arren insists that Tyson should stay because of the coming thermal storm which will raise the temperature considerably in the desert. Also inhabiting the studio are sleazy talk show host Winston Wickett (...

Renowned as the “Godfather of Gore� for legendary cult supernatural horror films like “The Beyond� , Lucio Fulci delivers the suspense of noir with the punch of a horror film in his unapologetically brutal crime masterpiece, CONTRABAND - creating a raw, uncompromisingly visceral vision of organised crime with horror-style set-pieces - including one of the most notorious scenes in Italian crime cinema, the "melting face" sequence. Fulci lays bare the raw - and completely unromanticised - brutality of the Camorra in one of his most hard-hitting and unrelenting films, merging crime thriller with Horror’s shocking aesthetics. “It got so real that the local underworld got involved in the actual making of the film�, explains star Fabio Testi in an exclusive interview for this release. CONTRABAND stars the ever-charismatic tough-guy Fabio Testi (‘Revolver’) who delivers a powerful, career-defining performance as Luca - a tough-as-nails cigarette smuggler whose world explodes when his brother is murdered and his wife abducted. This ignites a ferocious mob war, with a ruthless new order attempting to replace the old criminal order with deadly narcotics. What follows isn’t just revenge - it’s a one-man war agains...

In The Vampire (El vampiro), the beautiful, bereaved Marta (Welter) travels with Enrique (Salazar) to visit her sick aunt in her ancestral home. There, the mysterious neighbour Duval (Robles) offers to buy the family's decrepit hacienda. However, Duval is really Count Karol de Lavud, a vampire whose aim is to drain Marta of her blood and revive his entombed brother. In the sequel, The Vampire's Coffin (El atad del vampiro), grave robbers bring Lavud's corpse to Enrique's city hospital, where Marta now works as a nurse. Duly re-animated, Lavud sets about his bloody plan to make Marta his bride. Pre-dating Hammer Films' Dracula by a year, The Vampire's uniquely Mexican take on vampire mythology was the first film to give its antagonist elongated fangs, and its success kick-started Mexico's horror boom. Restored from the original negatives, these films finally receive their world Blu-ray premieres in this individually numbered Limited Edition two-disc set, complete with new and archival extra features, and a fully illustrated 80-page book....
