Rape Is A Circle (2006) Available December 12

#horror – #horrormovies – #RapeIsACircle – #Grimoire –

Catherine is a deeply troubled woman who picks up two female hitchhikers and then drugs them, tortures them, and subjects them to experiences that they will never be able to forget, that is, if they survive. Rape is a Circle has been out of print for a while, even though it was one of the director’s best-selling movies. One of the reasons for that was because the movie was going to be completely re-filmed. Misty Mundae agreed to play the part of the demented character Catherine. The project was delayed. During that time, almost everything that could go wrong went wrong, and could not get back on track. The original movie was selling for as high as $700 on auction sites. Fans begged for a re-release. Finally, in 2023, the director examined the footage and decided to re-edit the movie for a director’s cut. It is more artistic than the first version. Behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers have been unearthed. The director was reluctant to share bloopers in the past because he feared that this would reduce the tension a viewer felt during the rewatching of the movie. Fans, however, clamored for it, and the director consented.

From filmmaker and nightmare-conjurer E. Elias Merhige (Begotten, Shadow of the Vampire) comes a visionary twist on the psychological suspense-thriller. When tortured FBI agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart, The Dark Knight) is called in to investigate a series of bizarre murders, the trail leads to the enigmatic Benjamin O’Ryan (Ben Kingsley, Sexy Beast). Trained in a secret government program (enabling elite agents to telepathically get into the minds of killers), O’Ryan himself is hunting down what he has labeled the ultimate serial killer and manifestation of evil—Suspect Zero. Mackelway, now reunited with his former partner (Carrie-Anne Moss, The Matrix), must determine if O’Ryan’s ability to identify with the murderers has turned him into the very same type of monster he is trying to bring to justice. Featuring cinematography by Michael Chapman (Taxi Driver, Invasion of the Body Snatchers), Suspect Zero is a “stunningly original” and “audacious” (Los Angeles Times) glimpse into the heart and mind of evil.

The hills are once again alive with the sound of screaming in Wes Craven’s hugely entertaining follow-up to his own groundbreaking 1977 The Hills Have Eyes.

A motocross team on their way to trial a new super-fuel head out across the desert lead by Rachel, who, unbeknownst to the rest of the group, is a survivor of the cannibal clan which menaced the Carter family several years before. Opting to take an ill-advised shortcut across the desert, the busload of youngsters drives straight into the path of the remnants of Rachel’s demented cannibal kin – the menacing Pluto, and a hulking, blood-hungry brute by the name of The Reaper.

Made by Wes Craven immediately prior to his smash-hit A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes Part II diverges from the grim tone of its predecessor in favor of fun action-horror thrills and spills replete with mutants, motorbikes, and – oh yes – dog flashbacks!

The Terror / Little Shop Of Horrors (Double Feature) Available December 12

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheTerror – #LittleShopOfHorrors – #FilmMasters –

The two sides of Roger Corman are represented with The Terror (1963) and The Little Shop of Horrors (1960). Corman’s Gothic, spooky side is on display in The Terror, an atmospheric horror tale of a French soldier whose encounter with a ghostly woman leads him to a mysterious castle full of dark secrets. The pairing of a youthful Jack Nicholson as the soldier and veteran Boris Karloff as the castle’s owner make The Terror a memorable example of Corman’s mid-sixties Goth period. Though Corman is credited as director, several others took a turn behind the camera, including Nicholson himself, Monte Hellman, and Francis Ford Coppola. Meanwhile,Corman’s more whimsical side is on display in The Little Shop of Horrors. This legendary cult film features a bumbling florist’s assistant who creates a giant plant that happens to crave human blood. The usual Corman stock company is on hand, including Jonathan Haze and Dick Miller, plus a cameo by Nicholson as a dental patient with a high threshold for pain.

#horror – #horrormovies – #eXistenZ – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

In the near future, video games have evolved to a point where they are able to biologically interact with players through the use of an electronic umbilical cord. Allegra Geller has created eXistenZ, a highly anticipated virtual reality game which has come under fire for its potential ability to effectively warp players’ perceptions of reality. When an anti-game zealot attempts to murder Allegra during a demo, she narrowly escapes with the help of her publicist, Ted Pikul. However, Allegra discovers that the only master copy of the game might have been damaged during the attack and convinces Ted to test it with her. After Ted reluctantly agrees, the pair enter the virtual world of eXistenZ, but it’s not long before they start becoming uncertain as to where the violent gameplay ends and reality begins…

Director David Cronenberg’s (Videodrome, Crash) masterpiece of sci-fi horror for the video game age, eXistenZ stars two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley), Oscar® nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh (Single White Female), and four-time Oscar® nominee Willem Dafoe (Platoon). Action-packed from beginning to end, and featuring memorable creature effects designed by Stephan Dupuis (Scanners), loaded with a consummate selection of new and archival extras, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present the 4K UHD debut of this slime-filled look at a virtual future which might become reality sooner than we’d like to think.

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheBlackRoom – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Looking to inject a little more excitement into his life, family man Larry seizes the opportunity when he happens across a newspaper advert for a “unique and exotic” room for rent in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. The room, draped in black sheets and filled with candles, pillows and mirrors, seems to be the ideal place in which to carry out his extra-marital affairs – which Larry promptly does, first picking up a young college girl and later a prostitute. The mysterious owners of the property, siblings Jason and Bridget, seem more than happy to accommodate the wayward husband, dutifully preparing the room for each visit. But what Larry doesn’t realize is that Jason is deathly in need of regular blood transfusions, and the pair have been abducting each of Larry’s carnal conquests to use as victims in Jason’s deadly laboratory…

Written and co-directed by Norman Thaddeus Vane (writer/director of 1983’s Frightmare) and directed by Elly Kenner, 1982’s The Black Room is a smart, seductive, and utterly unique horror yarn, offering up a distinctive and modern take on the then-tired vampire mythos, whilst doubling down on all the requisite sex and bloodletting one would expect from the genre – the latter aided in no small part by the talents of special effects guru Mark Shostrom (Evil Dead II, the A Nightmare on Elm Street series). Featuring cinematography from Robert Harmon (who’d go on to helm the 1986 cult classic The Hitcher), Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to resurrect The Black Room from its murky VHS grave, pumping fresh blood into this underseen horror gem with a new 4K restoration from 35mm negative elements and an unholy assortment of newly-produced bonus features.
