#horror – #horrormovies – #WolfCreek – #ViaVision – @viavisionent –

Inspired by Australia’s most gruesome true crime stories, writer/producer/director Greg McLean has created a benchmark of modern horror, unflinching in it’s brutality and devastating in it’s psychological impact. Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) is an outback force – a loner, a larrikin and an expert hunter. For years he hunted wild boars for a living but now he has switched to a different beast – tourists being his specialty. Mick greets his prey with a wry smile and a laid back charm, lures them back to his remote campsite… and shuttered from the prying eyes of the world, carries out acts of unspeakable horror. Mick Taylor kills for fun, but never quickly. Young backpackers, Kristy (Kestie Morassi), Liz (Cassandra Magrath) and Ben (Nathan Phillips) have just met Mick at Wolf Creek National Park. He’s promised to fix their broken down car after towing it back to his camp. What they are about to experience is to look into the eyes of a cold blooded killer who knows no mercy. You’ve heard people talk about the effect of this film had on them, now it’s time for you to travel to Wolf Creek yourself. Mick Taylor stills hunts there.

STARRING: Andy McPhee, Kestie Morassi, John Jarratt, Nathan Phillips, Cassandra Magrath

Special Silencers (1982) Available April 9

#horror – #horrormovies – #SpecialSilencers – #MondoMacabro – @MondoMacabroUSA –

Mondo Macabro presents Special Silencers – A legendary Indonesian cult film with jaw dropping real-time action and stunt work.

Special Silencers is a legendary entry into the Indonesian “cult film” canon. Chock full of crazy martial arts, unbelievably yucky special effects, a touch of black magic, and even torture by smelly shoes. This one has got it all.

The plot is simplicity itself. A corrupt politician in rural Indonesia wants to impose himself as the boss of the local territory. To do this he has to eliminate the competition. To do that he uses his “special silencers” – small red pills apparently intended to enhance meditative states. But when taken with food or drink they erupt inside the victim’s stomach and emerge through the flesh like ragged, blood covered tree branches. It literally has to be seen to be believed.

But that’s not all… the film features the dynamic duo (soon to be husband and wife) of Eva Arnaz and Barry Prima. Big stars in Indonesia at the time and both skilled martial artists. Seeing Eva kick bad-guy ass is a joy to behold. She, along with Barry, was one of the jewels in the crown of Indonesian exploitation cinema and Special Silencers has lots of her.

This is the first ever video release of the film in its intended aspect ratio and it’s a revelation, with widescreen, jaw dropping real-time action and stunt work. Director Arizal was famed for his high energy set pieces in films such as The Stabilizer and Final Score. Here he outdoes himself. Not to be missed!

STARRING: Barry Prima, Eva Arnaz, W.D. Mochtar

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheMinusMan – #KLStudioClassics – @KLStudioClassic –

When quiet, aimless and amiable Vann Siegert—a haunting Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers)—drifts into town, no one suspects the evil that lies beneath the surface. Despite his easy charm, he is merely a reflection of what those who encounter him want him to be. The more Vann tries to make a go of his new life, the stronger the mysterious forces are that pull him in a darker direction. When locals start to disappear, it becomes clear that an eerie subtraction is at work among the lost and lonely of this sleepy, seaside hamlet. People look toward Vann, but no one can quite put their finger on who he really is. Through it all, he carries on a surreal dialogue with imaginary detectives who question his crimes and motives. Written and directed by Hampton Fancher (Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049) from the acclaimed novel by Lew McCreary, this unsettling and offbeat psychological thriller gazes unflinchingly into the mind of a serial killer. With Janeane Garofalo (Clay Pigeons), Brian Cox (Manhunter), Mercedes Ruehl (Married to the Mob), Dennis Haysbert (Far from Heaven) and music icons Dwight Yoakam (Sling Blade) and Sheryl Crow.

Death Squad (1985) Available April 9

#horror – #horrormovies – #DeathSquad – #MondoMacabro – @MondoMacabroUSA –

Mondo Macabro presents Death Squad – One of the sleaziest and most violent crime films ever made in France.

It’s late at night. In the notorious Bois de Boulogne Forest just outside Paris, a group of transsexual prostitutes offer their services to passing motorists. Suddenly we hear the roar of a powerful motorcycle engine kicked into life. Headlights pierce the darkness of the forest. Two bikes appear, their riders dressed in black leather, faces masked, heavily armed with assault rifles. The prostitutes scatter, chased by the riders who slaughter them in a hail of bullets before vanishing into the night.

In the morgue, Inspector Gerard Lattuada, of the Paris Vice Squad, recognizes one of the dead as a police informant known as Dolores. He learns that a notorious crime boss called “The Greek” ordered the killing of Dolores to settle a grudge. As Lattuarda investigates further, he discovers that a psychopathic and sadistic hit man, employed by The Greek, is intent on taking over the Paris underworld by any means possible. Soon a violent and deadly gang war is in full swing. And soon Lattuada finds himself on a personal mission of vengeance when his sister falls victim to the psycho killer.

One of the sleaziest and most violent crime films ever made in France, Death Squad gained much notoriety when it was classed “X” by the French censor. This is the first ever US release of the film and is fully uncut, so it should not be watched by the easily shocked.

Director Max Pecas made his name in the 1970s with soft core erotica, such as I Am A Nymphomaniac and Private Club. Here he returns to the crime films which began his career in the 1960s, but with a 1980’s twist of gore, mayhem, and relentless savagery.
