The Wolf House (2018) Available May 21

May 19, 2024 4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheWolfHouse – #KimStim –

A fraught fever dream of a fairy tale from Chile inspired in part by the nightmarish goings-on at the Pinochet regime’s Colonia Dignidad torture colony, The Wolf House is something like a Little Red Riding Hood narrated by the wolf, an unpredictable, malevolent shape-shifter of a movie shot over five years of painstaking labor, much of it on the extraordinary stop-motion effects that make up its bulk. A film of constant disorienting transformations and smothering claustrophobia, showing the spirit of unsettling experimental animation found in the works of Walerian Borowczyk, Jan Lenica, and Jan Švankmajer is alive and well.

STARRING: Amalia Kassai, Rainer Krause

By turning animals into humans, he’s turned heaven into hell.

On a remote island in the South Pacific, Dr. Moreau uses the key of science to unlock the gates of Hell. Val Kilmer (Heat), David Thewlis (the Harry Potter films), Fairuza Balk (The Craft), and two-time Academy Award®-winner* Marlon Brando star in this fantastic sci-fi thriller based on the best-selling novel by H.G. Wells. Stan Winston’s Creature Workshop (Jurassic Park) brought the frighteningly real special effects to life.

Dr. Moreau is a brilliant geneticist on the brink of superseding evolution. When a U.N. diplomat visits Moreau’s island laboratory, he uncovers fantastic but brutal experiments that turn animal life forms into human-like beasts. As Moreau and his assistant race toward their barbaric goal of creating the perfect life form, the beasts revolt, threatening not only the island but ultimately all of mankind!

#horror – #horrormovies – #CrimsonPeak – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

From the imagination of Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) comes Crimson Peak, a lavish, stunningly realized journey into the dark heart of Gothic romance…

Beginning in Buffalo, New York, during the 1880s, Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Stoker) as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer who is haunted by the death of her mother. Edith falls in love with seductive stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, The Avengers), who whisks her off to Allerdale Hall, his baronial, yet dilapidated English mansion built upon a mountain of blood-red clay. Here Edith meets Lucille (Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty), Thomas’s sister who at times seems hostile and jealous. As Edith struggles to feel at home in the imposing residence, she gradually uncovers a horrendous family secret and encounters supernatural forces that will help her discover the terrible truth behind Crimson Peak.

Boasting incredibly intricate and ornate production design and a rich visual style, del Toro’s film is a grandiose, boldly baroque triumph of Gothic decadence, which expertly combines and contrasts the sublimely beautiful with the shockingly grotesque. Crimson Peak is presented here in sumptuous special packaging, with a wealth of extra features, affording unprecedented insight into the making of this modern Gothic classic.

STARRING: Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam

Before Tommy Wiseau entered The Room and James Nguyen took flight with Birdemic, Ollie Martin welcomed audiences aboard Houseboat Horror. Shot on video, banned in Queensland and distributed with the world’s first ‘Gratuitous Violence & Blood Gush Guarantee,’ Houseboat Horror is pure homegrown hilarity and quite possibly the most quotable film in (SOV) cinematic history!

Starring a veritable who’s who of 80s Australian talent including Alan Dale (Neighbours), Christine Jeston (The Young Doctors), Gavin Wood (Countdown), Des ‘Animal’ Mckenna (Hey Hey, It’s Saturday) and John Michael ‘Hollywood’ Howsen, Houseboat Horror also features a slew of knockout song hits by The Uncanny X-Men’s Brian Mannix!

When a music video shoot on the seemingly tranquil Lake Infinity turns into a smorgasbord of horror, death and blood-gushing mayhem, it can only mean one thing… Acid Head, a horribly scarred ax-wielding maniac with a grudge against interlopers, is loose!

The Case Of The Bloody Iris (1972) (4K Ultra HD) Available June 25

May 17, 2024 4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheCaseOfTheBloodyIris – #CelluloidDreams –

From a script by the master architect of giallo, Ernesto Gastaldi (The Strange Vice Of Mrs. Wardh, All The Colors Of The Dark, Death Walks On High Heels), comes genre director Giuliano Carnimeo’s sexually-charged giallo debut (credited as Anthony Ascott), presented here, for the first time, in 4K ultra-high definition.

The gruesome murders of two young women send a shockwave of fear through the tenants of a high-rise apartment building. For photo models Jennifer and Marylin, it presents a welcome opportunity to move in together in one of the emptied flats. But the aura of terror catches up with everyone and soon, Jennifer feels like prey, stalked and targeted by the gloved killer. As her paranoia grows, Jennifer suspects everyone–her fanatic ex-husband, her spinster neighbor, the lesbian from down the hall, and even her boyfriend. But she is determined to stay one step ahead of the depraved killer!

Starring giallo’s ultimate scream queen, Edwige Fenech (Strip Nude For Your Killer, Hostel: Part II), alongside George Hilton (The Strange Vice Of Mrs. Wardh, The Case Of The Scorpion’s Tail) in their third collaboration together, “The Case of the Bloody Iris” is “pure giallo fun” (Mondo Digital). With its beautiful cinematography masterfully contrasted by its brutal violence, the film is every bit as exploitative and blood-spattered as it is sultry and salacious, turning it into “a luxuriant banquet of sumptuous visuals, sinister chills, and otherworldly beauty” (Deadshed). Celluloid Dreams is proud to present this newly scanned version, restored in 4K from the original camera negatives. It is the version of “The Case of the Bloody Iris” you’ve been dying to see.

The doctor puts the girl in his car and drives for help to the nearest house, which turns out to be a mysterious castle. When he knocks on the door he is greeted by a woman who looks exactly the same as the injured woman. This woman invites them both to stay for the night and the doctor soon discovers that his host is not only the only one in the castle and that this beautiful woman is concealing a terrible secret… This is Italian gothic at its most demented, with lashings of 1970s-style sex, whippings, satanism, lesbianism, nudity, dubious haircuts and a lust-crazed arachnid with a taste for sadomasochism and women in stockings. A truly extraordinary film!

Mute Witness (1995) (Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD) Available June 11

May 15, 2024 4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #MuteWitness – #ArrowVideo – @ArrowFilmsVideo –

SHE WON’T BE SILENCED.

Director Anthony Waller (The Piper, An American Werewolf in Paris) combines cat-and-mouse suspense with classic intrigue in Mute Witness, an updated take on the Hitchcockian thriller in which the only witness to a brutal crime can neither speak nor cry out in terror.

Billy Hughes (Marina Zudina) is a mute special effects artist working on a low budget American slasher movie being shot in Russia. Accidentally locked in the studio late one night, she stumbles upon two men shooting what appears to be a snuff film. Having borne witness to their victim’s final moments, Billy desperately flees – but this is only the start of a protracted night of terror, drawing her and her friends into a tangled web of intrigue, involving the KGB, the Moscow police… and a mysterious crime kingpin known as “The Reaper.”

Filmed on location in Moscow and co-starring Fay Ripley (Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) and Evan Richards (Society), Mute Witness is an unpredictable, nerve-shreddingly tense viewing experience. Now fully restored in 4K and presented alongside a host of new and recently unearthed bonus materials, there has never been a better opportunity to discover – or rediscover – this gem of 90s thriller cinema.

STARRING: Alec Guinness, Marina Zudina, Fay Ripley, Oleg Yankovsky
