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/g1...ser2020309.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/g1...iser020309.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.

Criterion is going to be putting out Roman Polanski's psychosis-masterpiece, Repulsion:
http://www.criterion.com/films/404 http://criterion_production.s3.amazo...ox_348x490.jpg From Criterion.com: "Roman Polanski followed up his international breakthrough Knife in the Water with this controversial, chilling tale of psychosis, starring Catherine Deneuve as Carol, a fragile, frigid young beauty cracking up over the course of a terrifying weekend. Left alone by her vacationing sister in their London flat, Carol is haunted by specters real and imagined, and her insanity grows to a violent pitch. Thanks to its unforgettable attention to disturbing detail and Polanski’s unparalleled adeptness at turning claustrophobic space into an emotional minefield, Repulsion remains one of cinema’s most shocking psychological thrillers." Due out July 28th! |
