Starring a bevy of 1970s eye candy, including Anitra Ford, Joy Bang, and Marianna Hill, Messiah of Evil is about a young woman (Hill) whose search for her missing father brings her to a strange seaside town under the influence of a mysterious cult.

After finding himself embroiled in the death of his lover, CEO Min-ho hires expert lawyer Shin-ae to clear his name. In order to help him, Shin-ae asks Min-ho to reveal to her the truth – the entire truth – of what happened. Although Min-ho’s confessions lead to revelations that may put both of them in danger, Shin-ae’s own unscrupulous methods of winning her cases are equally as dangerous. Over the course of a snowy night in a remote cabin, these two share secrets, strategies, and schemes in an ever-widening web of deceit and manipulation whose threads are woven by one as quickly as they’re unraveled by the other. And before all truths are finally laid bare, a masterplan of treachery will fall upon both this desperate man willing to do anything to prove his innocence and the cunning woman who wields her power of the law at any cost.

Static

Almost a decade after Lucky McKee burst upon the indie horror scene and became a 'Master of Horror' in the making thanks to his directorial debut May, he teamed up with legendary cult author Jack Ketchum for his most shocking and brutal film to date: The Woman, an instant cause célèbre on its Sundance premiere.

The Cleeks will soon learn, however, that hell hath no fury like The Woman scorned...

The Woman

In career that has encompassed such controversial classics as Ms. 45, Bad Lieutenant and Welcome to New York, none of Abel Ferrara’s films have quite managed to match the shock, extremity and downright notorious nature of The Driller Killer.

His grip on reality soon begins to slip and he takes to stalking the streets with his power tool in search of prey… One of the most infamous ‘video nasties’, in part thanks to its drill-in-head sleeve, The Driller Killer has lost none of its power to unnerve and is presented here fully uncut.

Double Target

He defied all laws of good taste and international copyright with SHOCKING DARK and ROBOWAR. He reset the bar for batsh*t crazy ItaloHorror with RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR and HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD. And in 1995, legendary director Bruno Mattei - here as 'William Snyder' - stunned the civilized world with this ultimate sharksploitation saga that liberally borrows characters, plot and footage from Joe D'Amato's DEEP BLOOD and Enzo G.

Dead Kids is a movie about a scientist, who is experimenting with teenagers. His experiment is to turn teenagers into murderers.

Dead Kids

The inimitable Klaus Kinski (Double Face) gives an uncharacteristically restrained performance as a wronged man chasing justice in And God Said to Cain, a dark, uncompromising western from celebrated Italian horror maestro Antonio Margheriti (Cannibal Apocalypse). Kinski plays Gary Hamilton, a former Confederate officer recently pardoned following ten years of hard labor for a crime he didn’t commit. Armed only with a solitary rifle, Gary descends on his former hometown – a silent, steely-eyed assassin bent on the destruction of the man who framed him, the nefarious Acombar (Peter Carsten, My Name is Pecos). But as night and a fearsome tornado both draw in, and with the full might of Acombar’s forced ranged against him, can he possibly succeed in his one-man mission of vengeance? Distinctive for taking place largely in darkness and for its atmosphere of creeping dread, And God Said to Cain sees its director channeling the same instincts for instilling tension and fear that he exploited to such success in earlier horror films such as Castle of Blood. Co-starring Marcella Michelangeli (The Big Racket) and Luciano Pigozzi (Baron Blood), Margheriti’s “gothic western” is a treat for fans of horror and westerns alike.

And God Said to Cain

Massimo Dallamano (What Have You Done to Solange?, Colt 38 Special Squad), cinematographer of the first two instalments in Sergio Leone’s “Dollars” trilogy, steps into the director’s chair for the first time with Bandidos, an action-packed and visually sumptuous western from the peak of the genre’s popularity. Top marksman Richard Martin (Enrico Maria Salerno, Savage Three, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) is inadvertently caught up in a train heist staged by his former protégé, Billy Kane (Venantino Venantini, City of the Living Dead). Brutally maimed and no longer able to fire a gun, Martin ekes out a living as a traveling showman – until the day he meets Philip Raymond (Terry Jenkins, Paint Your Wagon), an escaped convict framed for murder. Taking Raymond on as his apprentice, Martin plots to use him to extract his revenge on Kane, entangling the destinies of all three men and setting the stage for a brutal showdown. With a tightly written script and Dallamano’s keen eye for striking compositions, Bandidos ranks as one of the very best Italian westerns outside Leone’s trilogy, its success granting Dallamano a tragically brief but extremely fruitful career as a director. Thrilling from its first frame to its last, this is one western not to be missed!

Bandidos

A strikingly original spaghetti western with a unique elegiac tone, 'Keoma' truly is a one-of-a-kind classic of its genre... The legendary Franco Nero (Django; 'The Fifth Cord') stars in the titular role as a half-breed gunfighter who returns from the killing fields of the Civil War to find his home town riddled with the plague and its inhabitants terrorized (with the help of Keoma's own estranged half-brothers) by tyrannical gang leader Caldwell (Donald O'Brien, 'Zombie Holocaust'). Keoma's father (William Berger, 'Sartana in the Valley of Death') welcomes his prodigal son's return, but when Keoma saves a vulnerable pregnant woman (Olga Karlatos, 'Zombie Flesh Eaters') from Caldwell's thugs, the stage is set for a violent confrontation. With the help of his father and his friend, the freed slave George (Woody Strode, 'Spartacus'), Keoma prepares to take a savage revenge on Caldwell and his gang. Directed with immense flair and virtuosity by veteran Enzo G. Castellari (who channels Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone in equal measure), 'Keoma' is an epic film of Shakespearean and biblical proportions, which boasts compelling performances and thrilling violent action. Truly epic in scope, 'Keoma' is considered by many to be one of the greatest spaghetti westerns.

Keoma

Franco Nero (Django) and George Hilton (The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail), two of Italian cult cinema’s toughest leading men, team up in this explosive, revenge-soaked western from the Godfather of Gore himself, director Lucio Fulci (Four of the Apocalypse, Zombie Flesh Eaters)! Nero stars as Tom Corbett, a gold prospector summoned back to his hometown to discover it languishing in the grip of powerful business magnate Jason Scott (Giuseppe Addobbati, The Conformist) and his sadistic son Junior (Nino Castelnuovo, Strip Nude for Your Killer), who’ve seized control in his absence. Teaming up with his drunken brother Jeff (Hilton), Tom resolves to bring down the Scotts and restore peace to the troubled township. With a sharply cynical script by Fernando Di Leo (Milano Calibro 9), and with flashes of the penchant for savage violence that would decline Fulci’s later career, Massacre Time ranks among the most misanthropic examples of the genre – a dark, stylish western featuring a star-making turn from Hilton and cementing Nero, fresh from his success in Django, as one of the most bankable gunslingers in the business.

Massacre Time

From Jack Hill, legendary director of Spider Baby, Coffy, Foxy Brown, and The Swinging Cheerleaders comes another iconic cult classic, Switchblade Sisters!Lace (Robbie Lee), the leader of inner city girl gang The Dagger Debs, meets her match when new girl Maggie (Joanne Nail) moves into the neighbourhood. Mistrust and conflict turn to friendship as the girls end up in Juvenile Detention together at the mercy of abusive guards. Meanwhile, The Dagger Debs’ male counterparts The Silver Daggers have to contend with the arrival of a new gang, led by the villainous Crabs (Chase Newhart). But when the girls get back on the streets, a planned retaliation strike in tandem with The Silver Daggers backfires and puts Lace in hospital. Maggie assumes control, teaming up with Muff (Marlene Clark) and her gang of African-American militants from across town to declare all out war. But there’s a traitor in their midst...Filled with sharp, clever dialogue and tongue in cheek humour, this Shakespeare-influenced girl gang/women in prison/action movie medley is a stone cold grindhouse classic!

Switchblade Sisters

Their life is happy, at least on the surface, until Tsuda's brother; Kojima (played by Tsukamoto's own real life brother, Kohji) shows up on the scene. As a pro boxer Kohji's business is violence and even before the proverbial sand is kicked in Tsuda's face we can already sense the wonder and jealousy with which he views his brother's transformed body; but once Kojima seduces Hizuru, revealing that he doesn't just excel at physical violence, but mental and emotional brutality as well, Tsuda starts training at the gym so he can wreak his revenge with his fists.

Tokyo Fist

Drawn from the pen of one of Japan's foremost writers of the 20th century, Junichiro Tanizaki (A Fool's Love, The Makioka Sisters), Irezumi is a stylish tale of lust, betrayal and revenge directed by Yasuzo Masumura (Giants and Toys, Blind Beast). Masumura's muse Ayako Wakao (The Blue Sky Maiden, Red Angel) stars as Otsuya, the daughter of a rich merchant, who is tempted by her lover, Shinsuke, a lowly employee of her father's, to elope. During their flight, Otsuya's beauty attracts the gaze of Seikichi, a mysterious master tattooist who sees her pristine white skin as the perfect canvas for his art. The image of the large demonic spider that he emblazons across Otsuya's back marks her as the property of another man, radically altering her relationships with all around her as her personality transforms under its influence. Available for the first time outside of Japan in a new restoration, Irezumi sports some of Japanese cinema's most respected talent of its day both in front of and behind the camera. The bewitching cinematography by Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon, Ugetsu) captures the sensual atmosphere of the period setting, while the script by Kaneto Shindo (Onibaba, Kuroneko) lends a modern twist to this feverish meditation on obsession and the act of creation.

Irezumi

From the outrageous imagination of cult director Teruo Ishii (Orgies of Edo, Horrors of Malformed Men) comes this infamous omnibus of three shocking tales of crime and punishment based on true-life documented cases set during the reign of the Tokugawa shogunate. The first tale sees the beautiful Mitsu (Masumi Tachibana) going to horrifying lengths to tend to her older brother Shinzō (Teruo Yoshida), a carpenter injured in a work accident, but the law catches up on them and metes out a terrifying retribution after they violate the ultimate taboo. In the second, unfettered passions in a Buddhist nunnery are not allowed to go unpunished after abbess Reihō (Yukie Kagawa) and her attendant Rintoku (Naomi Shiraishi) encounter a virile young monk from a neighboring temple. In the closing segment, a sadistic torturer (Fumio Watanabe) attempts to show a tattoo artist (Asao Koike) how to depict convincing expressions of faces of pain in his work by allowing him to sketch a selection of Europeans as they are tortured for entering Japan with the aim of spreading Christianity. Ishii's notorious portmanteau of Edo-era excess signaled a change in direction for a director until then regarded for his crime and yakuza films, setting the ball rolling on the run of grotesque historical anthologies for which he is now best remembered. Vehemently denounced by the critics of the day, Shogun's Joy of Torture set a new benchmark for the depiction of sex, sadism and depravity in Japanese exploitation, with Ishii staging his elaborate torture methods with an unmatched verve and inventiveness.
