- DirectorPhilip RidleyStarsViggo MortensenLindsay DuncanJeremy CooperIn the 1950s, a young boy living with his troublesome family in rural USA fantasizes that a neighboring widow is actually a vampire, responsible for a number of disappearances in the area.Masterful work of art that uses vampires as a metaphor for modern struggle and sacrifice. Set in mid 20th century, post war America. This is film done right in every way!
- DirectorLouis MalleStarsCathryn HarrisonTherese GiehseAlexandra StewartTo escape a gender war, a girl flees to a remote farmhouse and becomes part of an extensive family's unusual, perhaps even supernatural, lifestyle.A trip down the yellow brick road for a very imaginative girl who converses with talking animals, cannot seem to reason with the people she encounters and is just desperate to escape the horrors of war.
- DirectorDario ArgentoStarsCristina MarsillachIan CharlesonUrbano BarberiniA young opera singer is stalked by a deranged fan bent on killing the people associated with her to claim her for himself.Dario Argento strikes again with one of his lesser known works. A gorgeous foray into the mind of an obsessive killer who just happens to have a strong taste for Opera and masochism.
- DirectorLucio FulciStarsCatriona MacCollDavid WarbeckCinzia MonrealeA young woman inherits an old hotel in Louisiana where, following a series of supernatural "accidents", she learns that the building was built over one of the entrances to Hell.Enter one of the 7 gates of hell. No ordinary Horror film. Artistic in every way, from the setting, the cinematography, the acting, the atmosphere, the overdubbing. See it, and see why it is above and beyond an average horror film.
- DirectorPhilip RidleyStarsBrendan FraserAshley JuddViggo MortensenA young man who has spent his life as a member of an ultraconservative Christian cult loses his parents and becomes disoriented, wandering into a forest and meeting a coffin transporter, a caring woman, her mute boyfriend, and his mother.Tribal, dark, lonely, crazy and a must see film. Venture into the life of a man who has been isolated from society and finally meets a couple people outside his tribe. The result is quite astonishing. A romance gone mad and that does not have a happy ending.
- DirectorJ.P. SchaeferStarsJared LetoLindsay LohanJudah FriedlanderA film about Mark David Chapman in the days leading up to the infamous murder of Beatle John Lennon.What was Mark David Chapman thinking in the days and hours leading up to the untimely murder of one of the most inspirational musicians to ever live? Find out by watching this wonderful portrayal of a mind falling to pieces with the help of a popular novel.
- DirectorWerner HerzogStarsKlaus KinskiIsabelle AdjaniBruno GanzCount Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror.In my opinion the absolute darkest version of Dracula out there. This remake of the 1922 Silent film 'Nosferatu' turns the darkness up several notches with a sinister portrayal of the vampire by Klaus Kinski. The cinematography here is timeless. The acting is fabulous, and the interplay between the characters is foreboding. Must see.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsHugh JackmanRachel WeiszSean Patrick ThomasAs a modern-day scientist, Tommy is struggling with mortality, desperately searching for the medical breakthrough that will save the life of his cancer-stricken wife, Izzi.This movie is love, pure and simple. Anyone who knows love, is in love, falling in love or longs for love should understand and sympathize with the beauty portrayed here. If you don't 'get it' get help instead.
- DirectorLindsay AndersonStarsMalcolm McDowellRalph RichardsonRachel RobertsAn ambitious coffee salesman has a series of improbable and ironic adventures that seem designed to challenge his naive idealism.What happens when a man is so obsessed with money and success that he has no choice but to eventually realize that there is more to life than monetary value, than mere success for the sake of it? Well, through our sympathetic hero we see how he accidentally falls and rises through to become a better man than he was.
- DirectorPanos CosmatosStarsEva BourneMichael J RogersScott HylandsDespite being under heavy sedation, a young woman tries to make her way out of the Arboria Institute, a secluded, quasifuturistic commune.Trust me on this, just let go of reason, expectation and premeditation and you will be fine. Sit back, let go and let this vision of art drive you slowly to the brink.
One tip. Pretend you are watching the film version of a lost Pink Floyd album. Cheers.
