Finding the long-lost wreck of the warship USS Charlotte has been the lifelong pursuit of Levi (Julian Sands), an aging expat running a tourist dive business in the British Virgin Islands together with recent college dropout Noah (Jack Parr). When the USS Charlotte emerges for the first time in eighty years after a tropical storm, Noah’s friends visiting the island insist for them all to do a once-in-a-lifetime dive on the newly discovered wreck before it’s handed over to the authorities. The dream dive rapidly turns into a nightmare as they become trapped in the darkness of the Charlotte’s interior, thirty meters down and with a dwindling air supply. And then they discover that they are not alone.

STARRING: Kim Spearman, Jack Parr, Alex Arnold, Erin Mullen, Arlo Carter, Julian Sands

#horror – #horrormovies – #WolfmansGotNards – #KLStudioClassics – @KLStudioClassic –

How does a Squad…become a Cult? How does a Cult…become a Classic? When it was released in 1987, The Monster Squad was deemed a failure by critics and was, according to the box office, a film no one cared about. But over the last three decades, word of mouth has turned it into a cultural phenomenon. Wolfman’s Got Nards is a howlingly entertaining documentary that explores the power of cult film told through the lens of The Monster Squad, taking an in-depth look into the film’s conception, response, cult status and revival. Through interviews with the cast, crew, screenwriters, directors, academics and original reviewers as well as through never-before-seen footage, it turns the lens on an audience of self-proclaimed misfits (including celebrities and filmmakers) who have kept The Monster Squad alive for more than thirty years. Directed by André Gower, who starred as Squad member Sean Crenshaw in the original movie! This special edition, loaded with new extras is must own for all the fans of The Monster Squad.

STARRING: Shane Black, Fred Dekker, Seth Green, Adam F. Goldberg

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #Krampus – #ScreamFactory – @Scream_Factory –

When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Adam Scott (Parks And Recreation), Toni Collette (Hereditary), Allison Tolman (Fargo) and David Koechner (Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy), this is a wonderfully dark and subversive “must-see film” (wegotthiscovered.com)! Krampus: The Naughty Cut restores key dialogue and scenes that had to be trimmed from the original theatrical release in order to appease the MPAA. Supervised by filmmaker Michael Dougherty, this is the definitive version of the holiday cult classic for the entire family to enjoy.

STARRING: Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell

In this shining early example of what would notoriously become known as the “slasher movie,” teenage babysitter Amanda (screen goddess Susan George, Sudden Terror, Straw Dogs) arrives at the Lloyd home to watch their young son one fateful evening.

What must Amanda endure to survive the ultimate night of Fright? Directed by cult British maverick Peter Collinson (The Italian Job, The Penthouse) and written by Tudor Gates (The Vampire Lovers), Fright is a midnight-movie classic, an exercise in sheer savage peril and pure unhinged terror! Also starring Ian Bannen (Doomwatch) and the bewitching Honor Blackman (Goldfinger, Moment to Moment).

Spirit Riser (2024) Available October 29

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #SpiritRiser – #ArtLabel –

After the tragic death of their parents, two sisters (Summer Greenberg and Amanda Flowers) are torn apart and sent to opposite coasts by a malevolent entity. One sister cannot remember who she is, and the other cannot grasp the fateful task that lies ahead of her. While fighting to make their way back to each other, the sisters encounter many strange characters that could either help them or destroy them.

Prepare for sensory overload from the famously outrageous Dylan Greenberg. For this magnum opus, Greenberg gathered some of her cast regulars in Amanda Flowers (Shakespeare’s Shitstorm), Jurgen Azazel Munster (Werewolf Bitches from Outer Space), and Matthew Silver (Glamarus), and joined them with jaw-dropping new faces, including Cherie Currie of The Runaways, an unrecognizable Whitney Moore (Birdemic), Lynn Lowry (Shivers), Kansas and Parker Bowling (Cuddly Toys), rock and roll legend Alan Merrill, Patti Harrison (Together Together), and Gender Outlaw author Kate Bornstein, with narration by Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs).

#horror – #horrormovies – #HowlingIIYourSisterIsaWerewolf – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Ben is mourning the recent death of his sister, Karen, whom he believes to have been killed in a savage wolf attack. At her funeral, Ben is approached by the mysterious Stefan, who warns him that a cult of werewolves had attacked Karen and that she too will become an undead lycanthrope. Although dismissing his claim as mere superstition, Ben’s girlfriend Jenny convinces him that he should take Stefan’s warning more seriously, and, sure enough, Karen is soon back from the dead, covered in fur and complete with a deadly set of K9s. After being narrowly saved from a fatal bite by Stefan, Ben is persuaded that he’s telling the truth and volunteers to join him on his mission to destroy the increasing hoards of beastly creatures ravaging Europe. But as their journey takes them to Transylvania, where werewolves from around the world are gathering for their ritual, Ben and Stefan fear that they might be in over their heads, mainly once werewolf queen Stirba receives news of their arrival…

Australia’s king of B-movies, director Philippe Mora (Mad Dog Morgan, The Beast Within), delivers an outrageously blood-soaked sequel with Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf, assembling the talents of international sex symbol Sybil Danning (Reform School Girls), cult star Reb Brown (Yor: Hunter From the Future), musician and TV personality Jimmy Nail, alongside horror icons Ferdy Mayne (The Fearless Vampire Killers) and Christopher Lee (The Satanic Rites of Dracula). Loaded with memorably gruesome set pieces, delivered with tongue firmly in cheek, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents the UHD debut of this beloved 80s horror classic in its uncut international form, newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and bursting at the seams with new and archival bonus features.

Hotel (2004) Available October 29

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #Hotel – #FilmMovement –

Newly restored in 4K and available for the first time in North America, Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner radically upends genre tropes and preempts the resurgence of folk horror with her second and most formally audacious feature, Hotel. The deceptively simple premise of a young woman who takes on a job as a night porter at a remote Austrian hotel and encounters unexplained phenomena amounts to a grand treatise on the inhibiting potential of imagination, the fine line between banality and terror and the looming specter of fate.

Allusions to local myth, mysterious disappearances and haunted forests eschew generic conclusions and serve to illustrate and complicate the inner life of a young woman reckoning with the essential ambiguities of defining one’s life. “An intelligent fable about fear and desire,” (Time Out) Hausner’s sophomore feature is a haunting metaphysical horror film unlike any other.

STARRING: Franziska Weisz, Birgit Minichmayr, Marlene Streeruwitz, Rosa Waissnix

Flesh Freaks Available October 29

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #FleshFreaks – #SaturnsCore –

Worm-like parasites infest the dead, returning them to gruesome half-life as rotting, bloodthirsty zombies. Freed from their jungle hell by a secret research expedition, the creatures soon find their way to modern civilization where they begin their deadly mission to transform the human race into an unstoppable army of the undead. Will they succeed in their gory quest? Will the human race be completely wiped out? Can anyone survive the blood-soaked onslaught of the Flesh Freaks!?

In 1998, a teenage film fanatic named Conall Pendergast followed his parents to Belize to document their participation in a real-life Mayan archeological dig. Stranded in a remote animal and insect filled jungle, the aspiring filmmaker realized he had a great location on his hands to stage a DIY, MiniDV zombie epic. The end result became Flesh Freaks, a micro-budget wonder shot in Central America and Toronto that’s part Evil Dead, part mumblecore, and part tropical travelogue. A youthful and rudimentary eruption of slime, rubber monster masks, and geysers of fake blood, Flesh Freaks combines the madcap antics of Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste, the exotic locales of Bruno Mattei’s Hell of the Living Dead, and gnarly, putrefied zombie mayhem of Andrea Bianchi’s Burial Ground; all filtered through the vision of a high-spirited and hyperactive high schooler. But that’s not all! Flesh Freaks comes paired with the director’s sophomore SOV feature Kill Them And Eat Them, Pendergast’s 2003 gore-soaked, mutant melee which comes newly restored and accompanied by a wealth of extras of its own!

STARRING: Eshe Mercer-James, Etan Muskat, Conall Pendergast, Erica Danya Goldblatt

El Vampiro : Two Bloodsucking Tales from Mexico (US Limited Edition Blu-ray) Available October 29

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #ElVampiro – #PowerhouseFilms – @indicatorseries –

El Vampiro: Two Bloodsucking Tales from Mexico brings together two atmospheric and terrifying classics of Mexican Gothic, directed by Fernando Méndez (Black Pit of Dr. M), and starring Ariadne Welter (The Panther Women, Untouched), Abel Salazar (The Curse of the Crying Woman), and, in a star-making turn, Germán Robles (The Brainiac).

In The Vampire (El Vampiro, 1957), the beautiful, bereaved Marta (Welter) travels with Enrique (Salazar) to her ancestral home. There, the mysterious neighbour Duval (Robles) offers to buy her decrepit hacienda. However, Duval is really Count Karol de Lavud, a vampire whose aim is to drain Marta of her blood in order to revive his entombed brother.

In the sequel, The Vampire’s Coffin (El ataúd del vampire, 1958), grave robbers bring Lavud’s corpse to Enrique’s city hospital, where Marta now works as a nurse. Duly re-animated, Lavud sets about his bloody plan to make Marta his bride.

Pre-dating Hammer’s Dracula by a year, The Vampire’s uniquely Mexican take on vampire mythology was the first to give its antagonist elongated fangs, and its success kick-started Mexico’s horror boom. Restored from the original negatives, these films finally receive their world Blu-ray premieres in this individually numbered Limited Edition two-disc set, complete with new and archival extra features, and a fully-illustrated 80-page book.

STARRING: Abel Salazar, Germán Robles, Ariadne Welter, Carmen Montejo

#horror – #horrormovies – #DeliriumPhotoofGioia – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

Gioia made her fortune working as a high-class call girl, but now she runs one of Italy’s top erotic photo magazines for which only the most beautiful women are hired as models. When a perverted psychopath begins killing them off one by one, sending Gioia macabrely staged photos of their corpses, posed to mirror their latest centerfolds, Gioia realizes that to put an end to the horrors and unmask the murderer, she will need to come to terms with a secret in her past which has resulted in all of the bloodshed…

One of director Lamberto Bava’s (A Blade in the Dark) bloodiest and most memorable gialli, Delirium: Photo of Gioia offers an intricate mystery supplemented by plentiful sadistic kills punctuated by touches of unexpected, nightmarish surrealism. Starring Serena Grandi (Miranda), Daria Nicolodi (Deep Red), David Brandon (Caligula: The Untold Story), George Eastman (Anthropophagus), and genre film siren Capucine (The Exquisite Cadaver) and featuring a score by legendary composer Simon Boswell (Santa Sangre), Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present the world UHD debut of this sleazy and slasher-influenced treasure of Italian genre cinema, newly and exclusively scanned in 4K from its original negative and including an extensive array of new and archival extras!

Cruel Britannia : Three Killer Thrillers From the UK Available October 29

4 Evil Eyes

#horror – #horrormovies – #CruelBritannia – #VinegarSyndrome – @VinegarSyndrome –

British cinema has long cemented its legacy of producing creative thrillers, often infusing macabre twists with a wry sense of cynical humor. By the early 1970s, the British film industry had become more daring in subject matter while still relying on the consummate technical professionalism that helped establish it as a leading force in the medium. Presented here are a trio of rarely-seen murder thrillers and mysteries that showcase the types of independent and transgressive work coming out of Britain in the first half of the decade, all of which have been newly restored by Vinegar Syndrome for this release.

Showcasing the beautiful yet under-filmed region of Cornwall, the Giallo-esque Crucible Of Terror (1971) by director Ted Hooker finds a group of hippyish youths staying at the seaside home of a reclusive and mysterious sculptor. Their holiday fun is short-lived as they begin falling prey to a vicious mystery killer who’s determined to protect a deadly secret hidden deep in the cliffside caverns. Taking visual cues from Italian horror and displaying a surprising amount of horrible bloodshed, this long-overlooked whodunit is a precursor to the soon-to-be budding slasher genre.

When a young woman is slain by a trench coat-wearing and razor-wielding killer, there’s no shortage of suspects, including her twin sister, boyfriend, and plentiful shady acquaintances. As the mystery unfolds and more people vanish or are murdered, a detective begins to suspect that the crimes might be connected to a prized stamp. A slow-burn hybrid of murder mystery and crime caper directed by acclaimed cinematographer Jack Cardiff, Penny Gold (1973) offers twist after twist, leading to a murder-fueled final act, sure to leave one guessing who the real killer is until the end titles.

By day, Neal Mottram operates an unassuming antique shop, while at night, he is the high priest of a small cult worshiping the idol Chuku. After accidentally killing one of his fellow worshipers, Neal offers Chuku her body as a sacrifice, shortly after which he finds himself bestowed with good fortune. Believing that the idol is responsible for his luck, Neal finds more sacrificial victims. Anchored by a memorably unhinged starring performance by Jack Palace, director Freddie Francis’ blending of occult horror and police thriller Craze (1974) remains an overlooked gem in the oeuvre of famed producer Herman Cohen.

STARRING: Mike Raven, James Bolam
