A frustrated detective deals with the case of several gruesome murders committed by people who have no recollection of what they’ve done in CURE.
The unnerving 1997 thriller Cure, directed by contemporary master of suspense Kiyoshi Kurosawa, follows an investigator as he looks into a string of gruesome murders around Tokyo—and discovers that the murderer may be out of his or her mind. It’s a remarkably disturbing, atmospheric suspense film, compelling up to its last haunting frame. – Criterion
The quaint town contains a sinister truth for women in THE STEPFORD WIVES.
The second wave of feminism certainly didn’t make landfall on the town of Stepford, CT. When Joanna Eberhart moves with her husband and two young children from New York City to the quiet town, she finds the women there are too “perfect” – vapid, obsessed with housework and tending to their husband’s every need. Along with her new friend Bobby, she sets up to uncover the terrifyingly unbelievable truth.
The first film version of Ira Levin’s novel, The Stepford Wives, was moderate success when released in the mid-1970s but throughout the decades its popularity has reached cult status. Perhaps it’s because the story of forced sublimation of women back into traditional gender roles continues to horrify each new generation of film goers.
Starring: Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight, Dominique Dunne, Oliver Robins, Heather O’Rourke

The dead rise and stupid humans are still stuck fighting over money and power in George A. Romero’s LAND OF THE DEAD.
Years after the undead dominated the planet in Romero’s Day of the Dead, humanity still thrives in the heart of Pennsylvania… Sort of. Protected by rivers and an electrified fence, the remains of Pittsburgh now exists as a rigid feudal society. Orchestrated by evil haircut-and-a-suit Dennis Hopper, the poor live on the streets in squalor, enjoying zombie pit fights and scavenged food, while the wealthy live a relatively normal life of luxury in a plush high rise. To supply the city, a vigilante group pilots a tricked out, zombie bashin’ bus out into the Pennsylvania wilderness, where they start to notice that the zombies aren’t acting quite as stupid as usual. With the smarty-pants zombies closing in, an all out class war breaks out in the city as factions tear their sanctuary apart in a hopeless fight over cash, comfort and survival.
Starring: Clarence Williams III, Corbin Bernsen, Rosalind Cash, David Alan Grier
