This two-disc set features all six episodes of the classic fantasy-horror mini-series. A young girl is stuck in her home due to an illness. To pass the time she draws pictures that, amazingly, come to life in her dreams. She draws a house, which then appears in her dreams. Then she draws a boy in the upper window, who also appears in her dreams. In short, she can influence her dreams by changing her drawings; but when she draws a number of boulders around the house, her dreams become nightmares, filled with one-eyed rock monsters that slowly creep toward her house. Even worse, she is unable to erase them from her drawings when she is awake! A great mini-series; taken from a story by Catherine Storr.

STARRING: Steven Jones

A Dream Come True (1963) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #ADreamComeTrue – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

After receiving radio waves from our solar system, the inhabitants of planet Centuria send out a starship toward Earth. Dues to technical problems, though, their starship is forced to land on Mars. Earth sends a rescue party to rescue the alien visitors. However, upon arrival, and in a scene similar to Alien, they discover a solitary, dead Centurian astronaut at the starship controls. What happened to the other Centurian spacemen? The answer appears to lie on the distant Martian moon, Phobos. One of the great things about Soviet science fiction cinema of this era is it’s extravagance. Every set, every spaceship, even the space helmets and space suits are lavishly done in a style that looks like a live version of an old 1950s Ace double cover. They’re just gorgeous. And everything is BIG. The Russians spared little expense on their sci-fi films. This is a beautiful film to look at, pure space opera from start to finish. Subtitled in Engligh. Great color, from 35mm.

STARRING: Larisa Gordeichik, Boris Borisyonok, Otar Koberidze

Almost 90 years later this sci-fi classic still packs a punch. Strange events in Earth’s atmosphere cause monstrous storms and tidal waves that overrun the Earth. The destruction of New York City is one of the most memorable scenes in science fiction history. Blackmer and Shannon are survivors who try to crawl their way back from oblivion. An excellent film! NOTE: In previous video releases of Deluge, the picture image was squeezed slightly toward the middle, resulting in tall, skinny characters (very noticeable on Samuel S. Hinds!); however, we have corrected this and also restored the original music to the opening titles.

STARRING: Lois Wilson, Fred Kohler, Samuel S. Hinds, Edward Van Sloan

Coastal villages live in dread of a mysterious ocean creature known as the sea devil. There’s much mystery as to who or what the creature really is. It turns out that he’s a product of man and not of nature. Some great twists and turns in this film with lots of underwater fantasy and sci-fi. Interesting English-dubbed Soviet sci-fi with some beautiful visuals. The Amphibian man is presented in the European 1.66 widescreen format for the first time. Beautiful color, from 35mm.

STARRING: Vladimir Korenev, Anastasiya Vertinskaya, Mikhail Kozakov

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #TheKindred – @synapsefilms –

Academy Award-winning screen legends Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night) and Kim Hunter (A Streetcar Named Desire) star in The Kindred, a chilling tale of a genetic experiment gone wrong… very wrong!

Kim Hunter is Dr. Amanda Hollins, a molecular scientist who calls on her son John (David Allen Brooks) to destroy all evidence of her genetic experiments… most specifically her “Anthony Journals.” Dr. Philip Lloyd (Steiger), an acquaintance of Hollins and someone familiar with her experiments, wants to continue her studies no matter the cost! John heads to his isolated childhood home with a group of friends to uncover his mother’s research and destroy it all, as she’d asked. There’s something else in the house, however… something watching and waiting… a tentacled creature born from the desire to alter human evolution. It’s evil. It’s mad. It’s ready to kill!

…TERROR BEYOND BELIEF

Italian horror master Dario Argento (Suspiria, Deep Red) elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982’s TENEBRAE, a darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder-mystery that many consider to be one of his finest works. Now, Synapse Films, in conjunction with Arrow Video, makes this gory suspense classic available for the first time on UHD in a new 4K restoration for TENEBRAE’s 40th anniversary! American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa, Death Wish II) comes to Rome to promote his newest novel, Tenebrae. A razor-wielding psychopath is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his novel. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless! Co-starring John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Daria Nicolodi (Phenomena), John Steiner (Caligula) and featuring beautiful cinematography by Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria), this stunning 4K UHD (2160p)/Blu-ray (1080p) combo set includes hours of extras.

STARRING: Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, Daria Nicolodi, Giuliano Gemma

Two sisters, Celeste and Isa, fall under the terrifying spell of a mysterious vinyl record from the 1970s. Used to help with stress and bring the listener to a state of calming self-hypnosis, the recording has the unfortunate side-effect of manifesting a doppelganger of the listener into our world. This “double” then grows stronger by the day to copy and take over the life of the person who played the vinyl. Seeking the help of the woman who originally created the recording, hypnotist Lena Carlsson (Christina Lindberg, Thriller: A Cruel Picture), Celeste and Isa try to banish the doppelgangers back to their own world before their lives are lost forever. Directed by internationally acclaimed horror master Adrian Garcia Bogliano (Here Comes the Devil, Late Phases), Black Circle is “top-notch psychological horror with a sci-fi bent that, as a doppelganger tale, rivals the best of the remakes of, and films inspired by, the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (scariesthings.com).

STARRING: Erica Midfjall, Felice Jankell, Christina Lindberg, Inger Nilsson, Hanna Asp

Final Cut Michel Hazanavicius Official U.S. Trailer

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #FinalCut – @KinoLorber –

The opening night selection of last year’s Cannes Film Festival was this wacky horror comedy, a remake of Shin’ichirô Ueda’s cult hit One Cut of the Dead. It follows a director (Romain Duris, L’Auberge Espagnole) making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies. Oscar® winner Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) milks the film’s hilarious and meta-to-the-max premise for all it’s worth, while also crafting a sly love letter to the art of filmmaking. What’s on screen unfolds in typical cheesy B-movie fashion, while the off-screen hijinks offer a celebration of the unpredictable and collaborative nature of film sets. Featuring a hysterically unhinged turn by Oscar® nominee Berenice Bejo (The Artist) and serving up blood-soaked high farce par excellence, Final Cut revels in its affectionate embrace of goofy genre fun.

The Woman From China (1930) Available July 11

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheWomanFromChina – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

A beautiful Chinese maiden (who could easily pass for white) enters into a more or less arranged marriage with an older, wealthy Dutch businessman. The marriage was set up by a sinister Chinese racketeer, who is to receive half the inheritance after the murder of her husband. She also helps kidnap a sailor’s fiancee, whom the Chinaman lusts for; while, conversely, she lusts to have the sailor for herself. Unfortunately, the sailor has found out that the Chinaman is a contraband smuggler and must die! It all ends up in a dockside rumble with bullets flying and knives plunging. McLaughlin is quite good as the evil Chinese merchant, whose wharf-side hideout is filled with secret panels and passageways, torture chambers, and an elaborate secret room. Suedo gives a terrific performance as the femme fatale, aided by her beautiful, dark, penetrating eyes. As far as we know this is the first time on video for this late British silent film, which is full of enjoyable over-the-top Yellow Peril drama and expressive acting.

#horror – #horrormovies – #Wolfman – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Nothing like a fun, schlocky American-made werewolf movie set in the Deep South and that’s what this is. The werewolf makeup isn’t exactly Jack Pierce, but it’s still pretty cool. The film begins in a rustic old mansion with the stabbing death of an old man as he lays in his death bed something about a family curse! The young heir to the estate returns home, but soon finds he has also inherited a family curse that will turn him into a werewolf on the next full moon! Before you know it, villagers with torches are searching for the Wolfman! Owensby isn’t exactly Lon Chaney, and he’s a bit on the pudgy side (kind of like Paul Naschy without the muscle mass), but somehow it all works a true drive-in B-movie, filled with outrageous schlockiness. The fact that you have a bunch of characters dressed in 1800s-style clothing but talking like modern day southern rednecks just ads to the lovable dorkiness of it all. Then there’s Ed Grady, who hams it up like Lugosi or Karloff with his wonderfully over-the-top performance as an evil clergyman. Adding to the ambience is a lurid music score that combines, piano, harpsicord, orchestral, and electronic music. Hokey, but still great fun. Beautiful color, 35mm.

STARRING: Earl Owensby, Kristina Reynolds

Spells Available July 11

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #Spells – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

With every batch of new releases there’s always a film or two that we absolutely rave about. Spells is one of those films. The IMDB description fits it perfectly, listing it as a horror-crime-drama. Spells is full of latent and overt horror elements, featuring a black devil horse that terrorizes mountain villagers, seemingly seeking revenge for it’s murdered owner. Watch for the gnarled, frozen hand of the victim protruding through the snow. There’s also Lucien Coedel as the dark arts wizard who dabbles in magic spells, animal sacrifices, voodoo, and murder. Coedel is brilliant as he uses his dark powers to possess the woman he loves. Faure is amazingly appealing and almost angelic in her beauty as his intended victim. The climactic confrontation scene between her and Coedel is outstanding. Robinson and Pigaut are wonderful as the star-crossed lovers whose engagement is doomed by jealously and wavering hearts. But watch for Fernand Ledoux, who almost steals the show as Faure’s bewitched, crazy father. The acting in this film is superb, with many great moments, all of which are augmented by a top-of-the-line music score and a brilliant script. As if all this isn’t enough, the B&W cinematography is to die for. The setting, a snow-covered mountain village, is photographed in a way that leaves the viewer feeling as though they’ve visited a dreamlike, otherworldly place. We can’t recommend this film enough. Wow. Subtitled in English.

Another great ’50’s B horror film from AIP about a woman who is terrorized by the vision of her husband’s dead first wife’s skull. Weber is wonderful as the new bride who suddenly seems to doubt her own sanity as she comes to live in a haunted house. Is it really haunted or is there something more nefarious afoot? Then again, just maybe… Some great moments of true fright. Be ready for the highly shocking, supernatural ending. A great B-drive-in movie with a tremendous music score!

After falling into a relationship with a young gamekeeper, she finds herself spiraling down a pathway toward inescapable horror. Kinescope 35mm.

What you’ve got here is a pretty well-made Euro horror comedy. Yes, there are plenty of laughs in this film, but they are blended in with many scary moments, all of which are enhanced by the film’s chillingly gothic B&W photography. The setting is a school for wayward girls. One of the professors who’s a bit beastly in appearance, has discovered a method of transferring his personality into the body of another. His first guinea pig is a handsome young professor, who then sets his sites on the beautiful young girls at the school, including the gorgeous Helene Chanel. An eccentric detective is eventually brought in to get to the bottom of things. Good fun.

STARRING: Ugo Tognazzi, Helene Chanel
