 Sanctimony (2000) | Directed by: UWE BOLL SYNOPSIS: In the spirit of Se7en and American Psycho comes a stylish, hyper-violent thriller from controversial filmmaker Uwe Boll (Alone in the Dark). Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) stars as an arrogant serial killer -- a connoisseur of murder known as "The Monkey Maker." Not satisfied with mutilating and murdering his victims, he begins to taunt the authorities by involving himself in their investigation as a potential witness. But as the detectives (Michael Paré, Eddie and The Crusiers) and Jennifer Rubin (Bad Dreams) come closer to unmasking the culprit, the killer grows even more demented, and plans to cap off his crimes with a series of high-profile mass slayings. Also stars Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) and Catherine Oxenberg (The Omega Code). Includes a video introduction by director Uwe Boll, prepared especially for this release. Released: 01/27/2015 |
 La belle captive (1983) | Directed by: Alain Robbe-Grillet SYNOPSIS: One of the last important works by visionary filmmaker and celebrated novelist Alain Robbe-Grillet (Trans-Europ Express, Last Year at Marienbad), La Belle Captive is a mesmerizing erotic fantasy, set in a world in which film noir and horror converge—an alternate reality governed by the fractured continuity of a nightmare. After encountering a mysterious woman (Gabrielle Lazure) at a smoke-filled nightclub, secret agent Walter Raim (Daniel Mesguich) finds the woman lying bound and semi-conscious on a country road. He takes her to an isolated mansion, where a group of mysterious men have gathered. In the morning, Walter awakens to find bite marks on his neck, and embarks on a one-man crusade to unravel the mystery. But his detective work is thwarted by leather-clad, motorcycle-riding femme fatale Sara Zeitgeist (Cyrielle Clair), who commands a squad of black-shirted goons to keep Walter from attaining the object of his quest. Inspired by the imagery of René Magritte and the episodic melodramas of Louis Feuillade, La Belle Captive is a playful homage to the erotic allure of cinema, filled with fetishistic imagery that has become Robbe-Grillet’s trademark. Release Date: January 20, 2015 |
 Blackwoods (2001) | Directed by: UWE BOLL SYNOPSIS: Tormented by memories of having caused a deadly car accident years earlier, Matt Sullivan (Patrick Muldoon, Starship Troopers) struggles to rebuild his life with his girlfriend Dawn (Keegan Connor Tracy). But his tentative happiness is shattered when he is attacked by an axe-wielding maniac in a secluded motel. Plunging into the forest to save Dawn, he is captured by a deranged family -- who reveal that his arrival in the woods is no accident, and that he has been brought there to atone for his sins… to be the family's human prey. Pursued by his attackers through the dark forest, Matt has one final chance at redemption, to snuff out the lives of his tormenters, and thus exorcise the demons of his past. Includes a video introduction by director Uwe Boll, prepared especially for this release. Release Date: 01/27/2015 |
