THE SHARK HUNTER

The other shark movie from legendary action director Enzo G. Castellari (GREAT WHITE, THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS) brings him together with his STREET LAW and KEOMA star Franco Nero – along with a screenplay co-written by Tito Carpi (LAST CANNIBAL WORLD), insane underwater stunts by Ramón Bravo (ZOMBIE) and an outstanding score by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis (SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD) – for a high-speed, double-barreled, shark-punching blast: In a Mexican seaside village, a reclusive fisherman (Nero) with a haunted past battles cold-blooded treasure hunters to retrieve $100 million from an underwater grotto infested with killer sharks. Werner Pochath (COP GAME), Jorge Luke (TREASURE OF THE AMAZON), Eduardo Fajardo (DJANGO) and Enzo himself co-star in this “gritty action-adventure that roars to life with weird audacity” (Oh, The Horror!), now scanned in 4K from the only surviving film elements, plus a Bonus Soundtrack CD and Special Features that include the first-ever on-camera reunion/reminiscence with Castellari and Nero.

NIGHT OF THE SHARKS

Three-time Golden Globe nominee Treat Williams of HAIR and PRINCE OF THE CITY fame took the Italian Sharksploitation plunge in this “insane and weirdly good-natured” (Oh, The Horror!) action thriller, now officially licensed on North American disc for the first time ever: Life in a quiet Mexican fishing village is ripped to pieces when a laidback guide (Williams) and his business partner (Blaxploitation legend Antonio Fargas) become entangled with international assassins, $2 million in diamonds and a local shark named Cyclops with an insatiable hunger for foolish divers. John Steiner (CALIGULA), Janet Agren (EATEN ALIVE) and Christopher Connelly (RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS) in his final film role co-star in this “unique and fun” (DTV Connoisseur) obscurity directed by Tonino Ricci (CAVE OF THE SHARKS) from a screenplay by Tito Carpi (TENTACLES) with jaw-dropping man vs. shark stunts by Ramón Bravo (ZOMBIE) and a deliriously ‘80s synth score by Stelvio Cipriani (THE GREAT ALLIGATOR), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative and featuring a Bonus Soundtrack CD.

DEAD SLEEP

Academy Award® nominee Linda Blair stars in this Ozploitation shocker based on the real-life Chelmsford Hospital horror that led to 24 deaths, stunned ‘80s Australia and rocked the world of mental healthcare forever: A new nurse (Blair) arrives at a private clinic and discovers that the renowned resident psychiatrist is treating short-term patients with a combination of coma-like sedation and electroconvulsive therapy. But when these unorthodox procedures trigger dozens of tragedies, she’ll risk her own life to expose decades of malpractice and murder. Tony Bonner (SUDDEN TERROR, THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER) co-stars in this still-potent true crime chiller directed by Alec Mills (BLOODMOON) from a screenplay by Michael Rymer (QUEEN OF THE DAMNED) with a score by Brian May (THE ROAD WARRIOR, PATRICK), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by StudioCanal.

FERAT VAMPIRE

From Juraj Herz – the award-winning writer/director of MORGIANA, THE NINTH HEART, THE CREMATOR and subversive genius of the Czech New Wave – comes the disturbing shocker driven by cultural provocation, political paranoia and a supercharged take on the vampire mythos, now on disc for the first time ever in America: When Ferat Motors introduces a new high-performance sports car, a trauma doctor investigates a bizarre theory that the vehicle is a biological machine fueled by human blood. Jirí Menzel (director of the Oscar®-winning CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS), Dagmar Havlová (former First Lady of the Czech Republic) and the iconic Škoda 110 Super Sport star in this “deeply weird horror thriller with sci-fi overtones and a touch of Cronenberg” (House Of Self-Indulgence), restored from the best existing 35mm elements by Národní Filmový Archiv and Severin Films with over 5 hours of new & archival Special Features curated exclusively for this release.

BASKIN

Anyone who’s seen it knows it’s “a shocking tale straight out of hell” (Bloody

Disgusting). Those yet to experience it “may forget it’s only a movie” (rogerebert.com). Either way, nothing will prepare you for the “genuinely nightmarish and horribly beautiful” (Time Out) debut feature from Turkish writer/director Can Evrenol presented in UHD for the first time: When a 5-man police squad is lured into a realm where torment, depravity and damnation are the only law, they’ll become prisoners of an abyss from which there may be no mortal escape. This “orgiastic Black Mass of stylized revulsion” (The Hollywood Reporter) now hits harder than ever in 4K, with 3+ hours of Special Features that include a behind-the-scenes documentary, 10-years-later retrospective, Evrenol’s original short film and much more.

SISTERS

In this reimagining of the Brian De Palma classic, director Douglas Buck (FAMILY PORTRAITS: A TRILOGY OF AMERICA) takes the film’s themes of disturbed bloodlines to startling new extremes for the first time ever in UHD: When a persistent reporter (Oscar® nominee Chloë Sevigny of BOYS DON’T CRY and AMERICAN PSYCHO) investigates a controversial doctor (Oscar® nominee Stephen Rea of THE COMPANY OF WOLVES and THE CRYING GAME), she’ll uncover a case of murder, manifestation and identical twins (the American film debut of model/actress/singer Lou Doillon) with a horrific secret. Dallas Roberts (The Walking Dead) and William B. Davis (The X-Files) co-star in this “bold take on the original” (Devil Dead), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with 4+ hours of Special Features and a Bonus Soundtrack CD.
