http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N8XeBEKyL._SS500_.jpg

CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920) The most brilliant example of that dark and twisted film movement known as German expressionism, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI is a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a team of designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetuate a series of murders in a small community.

WARNING SHADOWS (1923) A mysterious traveler and illusionist who performs shadow puppetry arrives to provide some entertainment at an otherwise routine dinner party. The host of the party is already mad with jealousy over the presence of his wife’s four suitors, but when the puppet show begins, passions overtake reason and reality is not what it appears to be.

THE HANDS OF ORLAC (1924) Based on a novel by medical-horror novelist Maurice Renard, THE HANDS OF ORLAC charts the mental disintegration of a concert pianist whose hands are amputated after a train crash, and replaced with the hands of an executed murderer. When Orlac's father is murdered by the dead man’s hands, Orlac begins a steady descent toward madness.

SECRETS OF A SOUL (1926) In the 1920s, film studios around the world sought to capitalize on the public s curiosity about the newborn science of psychoanalysis. In 1925, Hans Neumann contacted members of Sigmund Freud s inner circle with a plan to make a dramatic film that explores the mystifying process of the interpretation of dreams. With the help of noted psychologists Karl Abraham and Hanns Sachs, and under the direction of G.W. Pabst (Pandora s Box), SECRETS OF A SOUL was completed. Werner Krauss, who had played the deranged Dr. Caligari six years earlier, stars as a scientist who is tormented by an irrational fear of knives and the irresistible compulsion to murder his wife. Driven to the brink of madness by fantastic nightmares (designed by Ernö Metzner and photographed by Guido Seeber in a brilliant mix of expressionism and surrealism), he encounters a psychoanalyst who offers to treat the perplexing malady.

I watched The Cook while being bored at work, and wasted an hour and half of my life...What a horrible movie even if your into dumb cheesey horror...I wish i had more hands so i can give this film four thumbs down

[roshiq]

- Hell's Ground, Pakistan’s first splatter flick, in the tradition of Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, delivers spine-tingling thrills when an attractive group of teens pile into a van that runs out of gas in the middle of a dark, mysterious forest. Their ghoulish nightmare begins when rotting, fresh-eating zombies and a decapitated head-toting, screaming banshee-like hitchhiker begin to terrorize them at every turn. But when a mysterious figure, dressed in a blood-drenched burqa, appears sporting a medieval weapon dripping in gore, even the teens’ prayers won’t save them from a night of savage, demented horror.

They claim it was banned in Pakistan itself...it looks extremely cheesy and bad, much like our cheap 80s horror. Just check out the makeup effects, and you ll see what I mean.:D

Have a peek here :-

"Horror genre" haven't been warmly welcomed by the mass audiences here in our subcontinent. Audiences more likely to enjoy the family drama, romantic or action thrillers. But the main facts that made failure this genre to establish here are poor makings, funny make up effects and the weak storyline. Meantime, Bollywood (India) done some 'watchable' work in recent years but most of them were sadly influenced by the foreign horror films. But we hope in coming years there will be some good productions by the expert or knowledgeable hands who have some ideas & cares about this particular genre. Because we always have a devoted fan followings to the genre and which is rising rapidly these days.
So I like to give claps for those people of Pakistan who at least made a brave move and tried do some 'sophisticated' works though their work may go in vain or worthless to watch for any horror fan.

- Paramount Home Entertainment have pencilled in “Iron Man” for a Blu-ray Disc and DVD release on Sept. 30.

The movie, which will arrive at retail, will be in a two-disc special edition and single-disc version.

According to the EzyDVD website, the 2-disc Collector’s Edition comes in limited edition ‘Iron Man’ helmet packaging.

Paramount has not formally announced a street date for the hit superhero flick, which is the highest-grossing summer movie in the U.S. at $314 million, but it’s likely something will be reported on it at Comic-Con (Marvel Studios, the production company behind Iron Man, will pass out a flash drive containing a sneak peek of the Iron Man DVD at its Comic-Con booth, for starters).

That will be followed shortly in October by “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”.

Has anybody here seen Brutal Massacre?

its getting good reviews.....I may have to pick it up.

[Mr. Grady]

It's worth picking up - released today. The first watch will make you think that it is maybe 20 minutes too long, but it's one of those films where the more you watch it, you continue to laugh at it and pick up more stupid funny stuff. The cast is great. It would be classified as a "Horror Mockumentary"...

PARAMOUNT PLANNING NEW FRIDAY THE 13TH BOX-SET


There has been speculation since the Friday the 13th remake came to life again that perhaps Paramount would go back and give us a decent F13 box set.

Everyone knows the last release, which included FRIDAY THE 13TH through FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN, was a piece of crap and carried barely any extra features and didn't even include the uncut versions of the films.

Well, an inside source confirmed for us today that that’s exactly what’s going down!

Paramount is working on a brand new, revamped Friday the 13th box set that will hopefully put their first attempt to shame.

No word on any of the features yet, but we do know that there is a lot being planned. Of course the goal is to have it done in time for the remake’s release on February 13th, 2009, but only time will tell if that mark is hit.

Stay tuned for official details as they come in very soon!

[fortunato]

no problem!
i just visited their site on a whim and couldn't believe that they were releasing it.

[slasherbabe]

The sequel to the GingerDeadMan came out on DVD about a month ago, it's called GingerDead Man 2: Passion of the Crust... I think you can probably check it out at a few Blockbusters, or on the Full Moon Productions website.

I'm a fan of the older Full Moon stuff, Puppet Master 1 was actually pretty scary... actually, they're making another one of those, too, we'll see how that one is... but their recent movies could go either way. This one's actually more funny than scary, but that's the point, it's about the GingerDead Man murdering people on the set of a crappy horror movie, so it's sort of a take-off on the industry. Definitely recommend it if you're just looking for cheesy fun.

Years in the making, the collector’s edition 2-disc set is packed with rare, exclusive bonus material, including new interviews with director Juan Piquer Simon (”Slugs”) and star Paul L. Smith (”Popeye,” “Midnight Express.”)

“Pieces” was produced by exploitation masters Steve Minasian (”Last House on the Left,” “Friday the 13th”) and Dick Randall. The film features a cast of cult favorites including Smith, Christopher George (”City of the Living Dead”), Edmond Purdom (”Don’t Open Til Christmas”), and Lynda Day George (”Day of the Animals”).

“Hostel” director Eli Roth hails “Pieces” as one of his favorite horror films of all time. He’s personally endorsed the disc and screened the movie to an enthusiastic crowd in 2008 at his “Greats of Roth” festival in Los Angeles. The movie has packed houses at midnight shows across the U.S.

To celebrate this landmark DVD release, Grindhouse is bringing “Pieces” back to theaters in October. Catch the movie on the big screen at the following venues:

Oct. 11: Emagine Novi, 44425 W. 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377
Oct. 17 - 18: Guild Cinema, 3405 Central Avenue, Albuquerque, NM 87106
Oct. 25: Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60613
Oct. 31: Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028

Additional screenings will be announced soon.



Grindhouse is also bringing back “The Beyond,” Italian director Lucio Fulci’s masterwork of supernatural horror, at last available again in the ultimate DVD edition.

A cursed hotel devours the bodies and souls of all who enter, as the gates of Hell open to unleash an onslaught of bizarre mayhem: Graphic crucifixions, deadly tarantula attacks, acid baths, eyeball impalements, throat-shredding demon dogs and hordes of flesh-eating zombies are among the film’s many horrors.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5172iroh1pL._SS500_.jpg

For many years, U.S. audiences could not see “The Beyond” in its original uncut form. Grindhouse brought the movie back to life, restoring Fulci’s nightmarish vision of Hell in all its graphic glory. Grindhouse then teamed with Quentin Tarantino’s Rolling Thunder Pictures and Miramax Films to release the film in U.S. theaters, introducing Fulci to a new generation of fans.

The new Grindhouse “Beyond” DVD features a high-definition, widescreen transfer of the unrated director’s cut, with a massive collection of extras including a new 2008 introduction by star Catriona MacColl, added cast and crew interviews and a classic interview with the late maestro Fulci himself.

“Pieces” and “The Beyond” arrive Oct. 28 through Ryko Filmworks.

I saw Pathology. It was a good movie!

I just saw Pathology (http://www.pathologydvd.com/) too.

I enjoyed it though it got harsh reviews. I enjoy almost anything with Milo Ventimiglia in it though, hehe.

For anyone that missed it, it's about a pathology student (Ventimiglia) that gets sucked into a game with the other students where they take turns killing people and the others figure out how it was done via autopsy. As Milo's character says in the movie, if you can kill anyone and get away with it, you would do just that... kill anyone.

Obviously there's ridiculousness about it too, including how they then smuggle the dead bodies into the unused wing (really?) of the hospital among other things, but if you're the kind of person that can just sit back and watch a movie than I think you'll enjoy it.

Not quite a horror film, but still enough so to be included here:

April 28, 2009: Criterion will be releasing

Nagisa Oshima's Ai no borei (Empire of Passion) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077132/) (1978)

http://criterion_production.s3.amazonaws.com/release_images/2089/468_box_348x490.jpg

"With an arresting mix of eroticism and horror, Oshima plunges the viewer into a nightmarish tale of guilt and retribution in Empire of Passion (Ai no borei). Set in a Japanese village at the end of the nineteenth century, the film details the emotional and physical downfall of a married woman (Kazuko Yoshiyuki) and her younger lover (Tatsuya Fuji) following their decision to murder her husband and dump his body in a well. Empire of Passion was Oshima’s only true kaidan (Japanese ghost story), and the film, a savage, unrelenting experience, earned him the best director award at the Cannes Film Festival."

Anchor Bay Entertainment, the undisputed leader in cult and classic horror home entertainment, celebrates 20 years (and counting) of Hellraiser with the all-new Hellraiser LE Box Set, coming to DVD on April 21, 2009.

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g12/ravenavi/hellraiser2020309.jpg

This collectible boxed set is contained in commemorative packaging that resembles the Lament Configuration, the infamous box from which the horrors of Hellraiser emerge, and contains both 20th-anniversary DVD special editions of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, as well as the brand-new Blu-ray version of the original Hellraiser, boasting a specially reflective foil slipsheet. In addition, the Blu-ray version of Hellraiser will also be made available as a stand-alone title (pre-book March 19; SRP $29.97).

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g12/ravenavi/hellraiser020309.jpg

The horrors of Hellraiser are back – looking and sounder better than ever, and each one featuring a savage selection of special features including audio commentaries with cast and crew, retrospective interviews and vintage featurettes, trailers and teasers, and a shocking assortment of other enticements for the Hellraiser faithful. When Doug Bradley’s Pinhead said: “We have such things to show you” – he wasn’t kidding, and neither is Anchor Bay!

From the limitless imagination of Clive Barker came an enduring vision of the horrors of Hell. Hellraiser set a shocking new standard for cinematic horror that few others have dared approach, much less equaled. In the annals of horror, few franchises have enjoyed the sustained success and the fervent fan base of the Hellraisers. To date, there have been eight feature films – with a remake scheduled for release later this year.

And what better, bloodier way to commemorate two decades of demonic dementia than with the all-new Hellraiser LE Box Set?

http://criterion_production.s3.amazonaws.com/release_images/2167/478_box_348x490.jpg

Last Year at Marienbad (1961)

Not just a defining work of the French New Wave but one of the great, lasting mysteries of modern art, Alain Resnais’ epochal Last Year at Marienbad (L’année dernière à Marienbad) has been puzzling appreciative viewers for decades. Written by radical master of the New Novel Alain Robbe-Grillet, this surreal fever dream, or nightmare, gorgeously fuses the past with the present in telling its ambiguous tale of a man and a woman (Giorgio Albertazzi and Delphine Seyrig) who may or may not have met a year ago, perhaps at the very same cathedral-like, mirror-filled château they now find themselves wandering. Unforgettable in both its confounding details (gilded ceilings, diabolical parlor games, a loaded gun) and haunting scope, Resnais’ investigation into the nature of memory is disturbing, romantic, and maybe even a ghost story. (-From Criterion)

-New, restored high-definition digital transfer, supervised and approved by director Alain Resnais (with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition)
-New audio interview with Resnais, recorded exclusively for this release
-New documentary on the making of Last Year at Marienbad, featuring interviews with many of Resnais’ collaborators
-New video interview with film scholar Ginette Vincendeau on the history of the film and its many mysteries
-Two short documentaries by Resnais: Toute la mémoire du monde (1956) and Le chant du styrène (1958)
-Original theatrical trailer and Rialto’s rerelease trailer
-New and improved English subtitle translation
-PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Mark Polizzotti and a section on Alain Robbe-Grillet’s evolving attitude toward the film, including the author’s introduction to the published screenplay and comments by film scholar François Thomas

[fortunato]

Fort, I'm surprised you haven't posted this one yet!

One of the best films I have ever seen is finally getting the Criterion treatment:

Last Year at Marienbad (1961)

Ah, yes! I didn't even think to post it.
I cannot wait for it. The only version I've ever seen looked bad, was cropped, and I watched it on my computer. And even then it blew me away.

Do yourself a favor and get a hold of this DVD- I would not be opposed to saying that even setting aside for a moment the brilliant narrative and haunting acting, this may be the most aesthetically perfect film I have ever seen. It just looks gorgeous. The camera movements are otherworldly. I swear Resnais is not from this planet- his focus and vision are too smooth.

Oh, I'll be picking this one up for sure. I can't wait to see it like this. I'm sure it'll be completely different.

Just saw that Blue Underground will be putting out another classic giallo:

Sergio Martino's Torso:

http://blue-underground.com/boxcovers/BU1144DVD_m.jpg

"A series of sex murders shock a college campus, and four beautiful young girlfriends head for the safety of an isolated country villa. But as they succumb to their own erotic desires, their weekend of pleasure becomes a vacation to dismember at the hands - and blade - of the lecherous maniac.

Directed by Sergio Martino (MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD) and starring Suzy Kendall (THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) and Tina Aumont (SALON KITTY), this Euro Horror chiller was originally released in America with much of its controversial violence removed by censors. Now fully restored from the original negative materials, TORSO is presented completely uncut and uncensored on DVD."

So just how French New Wave is Last Year at Marienbad? It sounds like it could be interesting, but I just hate French New Wave. I just find it so boring and frustrating to watch. I've also been known to fall asleep during them.

@alkytrio & fortunato

So just how French New Wave is Last Year at Marienbad? It sounds like it could be interesting, but I just hate French New Wave. I just find it so boring and frustrating to watch. I've also been known to fall asleep during them.

It's definitely a lot different than your standard French New Wave (i.e. Breathless/Band of Outsiders, 400 Blows, and so on). In fact, the film and its creator (Alain Resnais) belonged to a group they called the "Left Bank", which clearly separated itself from the traditional New Wave directors. The Left Bank incorporated more aspects of experimental film, and tended to create more moody, expressionist pieces.
Last Year at Marienbad, to me, really had the feel of early surrealism, like (I linked the videos in case you want to check any of these out):

Buñuel's L'age D'or (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5pTjZ2ld5o) (1929)

Kirsanoff's Ménilmontant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoO2hLUMgG0) (1926)

Epstein's Fall of the House of Usher (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wimNsfqbqkw) (1928)

I'll go out on a limb and say that even though you don't care for the regular French New Wave stuff, you could still enjoy this a lot.

Haha, although when you say "boring and frustrating watch", that's kind of exactly what Last Year at Marienbad is. I mean, not boring, but it's really slow-paced, and it can certainly be frustrating to watch as it doesn't try to give you any answers.

So I don't know, but I would recommend at least taking a chance on it.

[alkytrio666]

I'm going to go out on a limb Papillon and guess that what you dislike about typical new wave are the characters, or the way they're (not clearly) developed? For instance, have you seen Breathless? I have a friend who can't stand Godard or Trouffout because of their simultaneous detachment and dependence on character, the way we're forced to observe them as objects but the film's message often relies on some kind of emotional attachment to them.

Last Year at Marienbad is less about who the characters are and more about a collective human consciousness, the bizzareness of memory, the frailty of human relationship. I would agree with Fotunato that what Resnais is drawing on for 'Marienbad' is something far older and more complex than new wave tradition, something more along the lines of surrealism. What's interesting here is that surrealism is stretched and shaken to be less about distorting reality and more about understanding its delicacy.

I would encourage you to give the film a try- it is a bit slow-moving, but its never dull. At an hour-and-a-half, your mind will be plenty busy trying to figure out the strange puzzles of the film. As a plus, I'd even go so far as to call it a pseudo-horror film; it toys around with the ideas of ghosts (these ghosts are much more real, though) and there are wicked surprises found as the story unfolds.

145-minute version of Clive Barker's Nightbreed

Set in the canadian wilderness, a search is on for a serial killer and an ancient tribe of monsters called the night-breed.

"We just finished watching a 145 minute version of the film's mid-1989 workprint!
That's 44 minutes longer than the theatrical release!!
And it's even more significant than that since there are none of the later re-shoots of Decker's murders, so the actual deleted footage is far more than 44 minutes!

Yes, there's (lots) more violence as the Sons of the Free invade Midian, yes there's some deleted stop motion footage, yes, Narcisse gets decapitated, yes Lori stabs herself on a hilltop and Boone bites her... Yes, yes, yes!

Now, this is just a VHS copy so it's not of releasable quality, so... thank you for your continuing messages of support - let's keep working to get a proper DVD release for an extended Nightbreed..."


Nightbreed - Director's Cut/Uncut AND Unrated? Possible.

An early announcement to retailers indicates that Genius Products and The Weinstein Company are set to release Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's 'Grindhouse' on Blu-ray on August 11.

No edition details are available, other than this would be a two-disc set, but it may well be the theatrical Grindhouse double feature.

'Grindhouse' was conceived, edited and shown theatrically (in the US) as a typical exploitation double-feature as one could attend at cheap theaters in the 1970s: it consisted of two features ('Planet Terror', by Robert Rodriguez, and 'Death Proof' by Quentin Tarantino), interspersed with fake trailers and bumpers.

However, the film underperformed theatrically and the films were released separately (in expanded versions) on home video. The Grindhouse double feature wasn't even released theatrically in Europe, and its only DVD release so far is a coveted special edition from Japan.
