Originally released in 1997, Two Orphan Vampires (Les Deux orphelines vampires) finds Jean Rollin, the master of the fantastique, returning to the vampire genre with which he had made his name.

Featuring startling performances from novice leads Alexandre Pic and Isabelle Teboul, alongside Tina Aumont (Modesty Blaise) and Rollin regulars Nathalie Perrey (The Shiver of the Vampires) and Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), Two Orphan Vampires is a beautiful and melancholy summation of Rollin’s unique and arresting style.

Suicide Club (2001) Available April 25

Japanese language, English subtitles, 1080p high definition, Region A disc. A wave of unexplainable suicides sweeps across Tokyo after 54 smiling high school girls join hands and throw themselves from a subway platform into an oncoming train. Detective Kuroda (Audition’s Ryo Ishibashi) and the rest of the police force are baffled as the bloodbath triggers a wave of suicides across the city. When a cryptic phone call tips off police to a strange website that appears to be tracking the suicides before they happen, the question becomes, are they really suicides at all? This outrageously bizarre, wicked social critique in the form of a creepy and enigmatic detective mystery examines the despair of the disaffected Japanese youth and the influence of pop culture on their lives. From international film festival favorite to cult sensation, Suicide Club is a study of contemporary morality that is gruesome, darkly comic and vividly original. Remastered in high definition and now on Blu-ray for the first time!

Wilder than Lightning by Rachel Caren Kisala Available April 17

Author: Rachel Caren Kisala

In a just world, being on the street where a shooter opens fire should have been the worst thing ever to happen to Kara Richards. Okay, in a REALLY just world, even that shouldn’t have happened, but given that it did, it should not have been followed by mysterious deaths, disappearances, decapitation…demons? When did demons start being a thing that a girl with a college degree, a steady job, and a tiny apartment in the big city had to worry about?

Thankfully this crazy week also brings a guy with a car into her life, because her own two feet and Boston’s Green Line trains probably aren’t up to the job of keeping her one step ahead of whatever’s coming after her.
