Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Alan Arkin, Anthony Michael Hall, Vincent Price

A scientist (Vincent Price) builds an animated human being — the gentle Edward (Johnny Depp). The scientist dies before he can finish assembling Edward, though, leaving the young man with a freakish appearance accentuated by the scissor blades he has instead of hands. Loving suburban saleswoman Peg (Dianne Wiest) discovers Edward and takes him home, where he falls for Peg’s teen daughter (Winona Ryder). However, despite his kindness and artistic talent, Edward’s hands make him an outcast.

In this animated feature set in the 1940s, the troubled yet heroic Batman (Kevin Conroy) is pitted against a mysterious figure who is rubbing out Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, and who many believe is the caped crusader himself. Batman’s alter ego, millionaire Bruce Wayne, is about to get married to the lovely Andrea Beaumont (Dana Delany), who helps him recover from his need to avenge his parents’ murder — meaning that his crime-fighting days may be numbered.

First she mates, then she terminates! A young woman becomes possessed by an ancient maneater in this Indonesian low-budget version of The Terminator.

So let’s get something straight: Lady Terminator doesn’t actually involve robots however it IS the Indonesian rip-off of The Terminator and it does deal with a young woman possessed by a black-widow spirit of “The South Sea Queen.” It also vaguely has something to do with an eel and a vagina. This young anthropologist (not a lady!) gets possessed by the man-killer Queen in order to kill the great-granddaughter of the man who did her in. We can’t spoil all the fun in this description so just trust us when we say that you definitely don’t want to miss this lovely low-budget exploitation flick!

Nitehawk’s THE WORKS presents a special Brian De Palma Director Series on select Midnights (January – March 2013).

The persistent memory of his involvement in the deaths of his wife and daughter come back to haunt Michael Courtland in a very real way.

Unhinged and unable to forgive himself for the part he played in the deaths of his kidnapped wife and daughter, New Orleans real estate developer Michael Courtland (Cliff Robertson) winds up on a treacherous journey through the haunting and constructed fiction of memories. The traumatic occurrences of losing his family repeat themselves after he re-marries a much younger woman who is, rather eerily, a spitting image of his former wife. Admittedly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Obsession’s structure folds in on itself as the narrative twists and turns to reveal a terrifying truth.
