A singular coming-of-age story, this revelatory feature debut by Sophy Romvari heralds the arrival of a major new cinematic voice. In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha (Eylul Guven) and her Hungarian Canadian family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island, but their fresh start is interrupted by the increasingly dangerous behavior of her eldest brother, Jeremy (Edik Beddoes). At wit’s end, the parents are presented with a shattering choice. Audaciously layering the past and the present until they converge in a moment of devastating emotional clarity, Blue Heron evokes the languid haze of a childhood summer and the hidden tensions rippling underneath.
This trilogy of horror comes from the gleefully demented minds of horror masters John Carpenter (Halloween) and Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Three tales are told, each one increasingly terrifying. The first tells the story of a woman being stalked by an axe-weilding maniac. The second is the story of a man who pays the ultimate price for a beautiful head of hair. The final tale shows what it is like to see life through the eyes of a killer.

he made-for-television adaptation of Dean Koontz’s novel is a gripping re-telling of a psychological suspense-thriller.

John C. McGinley plays killer Edgler Foreman Vess, a role very different from his comic turn as the brooding Dr. Perry Cox on TV’s “Scrubs.” Chyna, whose fragile world of safety is shattered with the murder of her closest friend, summons up the courage to face down her own demons and track down the vicious and sadistic killer, no matter the cost to herself. Newly remastered.
From Emmy winning*, Oscar nominated** creator Armando Iannucci, The Death of Stalin is a fearlessly funny parody of Cold War Russia, with a striking similarity to today’s world scene.

Rolling Stone calls the film a “brilliant satire from a crack ensemble”‘ (including Emmy and Golden Globe winner***Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Andrea Riseborough and Michael Palin). Proof that comedy, like politics, is all in the execution.

A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of flesh-eating ghouls, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-1960s America literally tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in its lead role.

Jamie Lee Curtis (the “HALLOWEEN” film series) and Leslie Nielsen (“THE NAKED GUN” film and TV series, FORBIDDEN PLANET) star in this celebrated “slasher” horror classic.

These are the only two surviving episodes of the famed British six-part mini-series. Professor Quatermass and his Experimental Rocket Group send a man into space. When the spacecraft returns to Earth they find, inexplicably, that only one of the crewmen is still on board. They can only wonder what has happened to the missing crewmen, because something “strange” has happened to the surviving astronaut. When the rocket is examined, it’s found that something organic attached itself to the hull while in outer space. Intelligent, yet creepy sci-fi that’s extremely well done. A must-have for all ’50s sci-fi collectors. This was originally transferred from a rather murky-looking kinescope print, which is the only known surviving material on this title. Although the image on this new master still has that “kinescope look,” the visual image is definitely sharper.
This is the original 6-part teleseries that was the follow-up to the earlier teleseries, The Quatermass Experiment (1953). There is something very wrong with a huge chemical factory out in the wilds of rural England. An alien horror is afoot! The scenes in this marvelous teleseries range from thought-provoking to downright terrifying. Wow… A terrific script, is complimented by great, believable performances. British science fiction doesn’t get much better than this.
The first manned space-shot returns to earth unexpectedly, crashing in the English countryside, bringing back an astronaut slowly transforming into an alien cactus. Brian Donlevy, Jack Warner, Margia Dean, Val Guest, 1955.
