Wake in Fright is essential viewing for anyone interested in the roots of male violence.

A Conradian parable of a man succumbing to the wild, the film is remarkable for its raw, pointed dithe suggests, and you'll find the beast concealed behind the mask of propriety.

Dracula remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time.

Combining the rabid angst of 1976's Death Wish and Roman Polanski's surreal, post-traumatic Repulsion, Ms. 45 rages from the cult underground over 30 years later to reclaim its title as perhaps the most shocking, complex and empowering revenge film of arrives fully restored and presented for the first time ever in HD.

The first film from music icon Slash (of Guns N' Roses fame) and the latest from the producers of THE EYE and THE RING, NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR is based on the true-life demonic folklore of Stull, Kansas. Wendy (Emmy®-Nominee Anne Heche of TV's HUNG) and Dan (James Tupper of TV's REVENGE) move their family from the big city to a sleepy Kansas town and take over preaching duties from retiring Pastor Kingsman (Clancy Brown of TV's SLEEPY HOLLOW).

The family's quiet new beginning is savagely derailed by a charismatic but emotionally conflicted man of the cloth. Directed by the protégé of Oscar®-Winner Gore Verbinski, this heart-pounding thriller costars Ethan Gregory Peck (THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE).
