#horror – #horrormovies – #SalemsLot – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

A novelist and a young horror fan attempt to save a small New England town which has been invaded by vampires.

THE ULTIMATE IN TERROR!

From Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist, comes the mini-series that scarred a generation. Based on Stephen King’s all-time classic of small town terror, welcome to Salem’s Lot. Population two-thousand and thirteen, but falling fast!

Author Ben Mears (David Soul) returns to the town of Salem’s Lot after 25 years to write about the Marsten House, an old mansion with a bad reputation that has haunted the writer since childhood. But the sleepy town of Ben’s youth is beginning to change. There’s an antiques store about to open, run by the mysterious Richard Straker (James Mason) and his unseen partner Mr. Barlow (Reggie Nalder), and they’re living in the Marsten House. A series of deaths and disappearances leads Ben to believe that a vampire is feeding on the town. But how can he stop them, and will anyone believe him?

With a script by Paul Monash (producer of De Palma’s Carrie, writer of Peyton Place and The Friends of Eddie Coyle) and a superb cast that includes Bonnie Bedelia (Die Hard), Fred Willard (Best in Show), Geoffrey Lewis (Every Which Way But Loose) and Elisha Cook Jr. (The Killing), Tobe Hooper breathes vivid life and chilling un-death into the characters of King’s novel. The children of the night await… in Salem’s Lot.

Top model and fashion idol Lilico (Erika Sawajiri) is used to being the centre of attention – the living epicentre of her own universe and of a multimedia-saturated hyperreality in which everything is airbrushed and color-adjusted to perfection. When she begins to suffer traumatic side effects from her repeated illegal cosmetic surgery sessions, she finds fame comes at a cost, as she is plunged into a nightmarish world where her sense of self-image and identity begins to fracture.

This lurid body horror, based on a manga by Kyoko Okazaki and directed by critically acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Mika Ninagawa (Sakuran), is a candy-colored nightmare, presenting both an assault to the senses and to the picture-perfect world of the fashion and advertising.

#horror – #horrormovies – #ColonyMutation – #VisualVengeance – @VisualVenVideo –

A scientist doses her husband with an experimental serum which causes his body parts to separate from his torso and take on lives of their own. When genetic scientist Meredith Weaver finds out about her husband’s affair, she doses him with an experimental and very unstable serum, which causes his body parts to separate from his torso and take on monstrous lives of their own, all of them now craving human flesh. Soon, he’s stalking the streets in search of young women to quench the now insatiable hunger of his evil appendages. Tom Berna’s rarely seen, stop-motion heavy Super 8mm body horror plays out like an alternate universe Lifetime movie directed by David Cronenberg that delivers both the gruesome FX set pieces but also serves a cautionary tale of male sexual addiction and unchecked passion.

STARRING: Anna Zizzo, David Rommel, Joan Dinco, Susan L. Cane

One man, falsely accused of murder, tries to clear his name. He discovers the shocking truth! The murders may be due to a drug called “Blue Sunshine.”

It starts off as a great party–just eight people in a secluded lodge. One of the guests suddenly goes on a shockingly violent, murderous rampage. There is something wrong with his hair, and pure evil in his eyes. What he does to three of the girls there is too hideous to describe. Falsely accused of the brutal killings, Jerry Zipkin (Red Shoe Diaries’ Zalman King) goes on the run. More bizarre murders occur, and while trying to clear his name, Jerry discovers the shocking truth: The people losing their hair and turning into violent psychopaths may be connected to a drug each killer took a decade before. A drug known as “Blue Sunshine.” Did you ever hear the words “Blue Sunshine”? Try to remember… your life may depend on it!

The Mike Diana Film Collection Available December 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheMikeDianaFilmCollection – #Factory25 – @factory_25 –

Infamous for his arrest, trial, and conviction in the 1990s for his self-published comix, artist Mike Diana also made a string of homemade films. Starting with 8mm in the early ’80s and graduating to video, Diana enlisted his own family and neighborhood kids in an array of bizarre, gross, and hilarious movies, to varied levels of completion.The 1989 feature Blood Brothers is Diana’s demented update on the slasher trend. Quite literally a “backyard movie,” it mostly stars children, and what it lacks in its zero-dollar budget it makes up for with unhinged charm. Illicit substances, coat-hanger abortions, mutilation and decapitation have never been so fun. 1990’s Baked Baby Jesus is a loud, unapologetic shot-on-video revolt against the downfall of American society. As if it was designed to be seen by Diana’s enemies instead of his peers, the shorts marry together real abortion rally footage, a necrophiliac love story, and perhaps the most infamous sequence of all, a tour of the infant-only cemetery Babyland. Both films were originally traded through the mail, and have only been available directly through Mike Diana himself. Factory 25 has gone back to the original video sources and provided higher quality than ever before possible (previous versions had primitive sound dubbing and editing) and has overseen the reconstruction of several otherwise lost short films, some completed here for the first time.

Steven Callahan (David Wittman) is a well respected therapist who has just taken on a new client named Christian (Joseph F. Alexandre) who’s an aspiring fashion photographer and suffers from a series of bizarre and violent fantasies. As the fantasies become more vivid, Steven becomes suspicious that these are more than just random thoughts. Simultaneously, foul mouthed detective Tim Poroski (John Thomas) is faced with a series of murders and disappearances of several male models. PSYCHOTROPIC OVERLOAD is one of the most unique independent horror movies of the 90s. It’s a very Hitchcockian movie and cleverly blends the video format with 8mm and 16mm films elements. We are so excited for this to get a new audience.

Three girlfriends descend upon a remote cabin for an idyllic, weekend getaway. Amidst the partying, Angelique (Christine Gallo) begins to research the bizarre circumstances surrounding the death of her grandfather, the former owner of the cabin. She soon discovers that her grandfather had collected documented evidence of a local satanic cult and their evil endeavors. After a drunken prank goes horribly wrong, a cloaked and claw-gloved satanic killer lays siege upon the cabin; forcing the girls to fight for their sanity and lives.

The startling feature debut from New York based writer/director Sal Ciavarello, HARDCORE POISONED EYES is a claustrophobic, cabin bound, winter set chamber piece which Rue Morgue magazine called both “atmospheric and jarring.” By utilizing a single location, an insular cast, and the dynamic visual stylings of Emmy-nominated cinematographer Huy Truong, Ciavarello’s HARDCORE POISONED EYES was significant for delivering genuine tension and nail-biting chills which were commonly absent from the work of his SOV contemporaries.
