“This isn’t a neighborhood… it’s a war.”
The city is in chaos: leather and chain clad punks terrorize the saintly residents, smashing into apartments with reckless abandon, making it impossible to walk the sidewalks in peace. Lucky for them Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) has come back to New York City, and the police chief has given him a not-subtle nudge to rectify the situation as he is uniquely qualified to do.
Like a conservative fantasy with cartoonishly brutal, soulless villains, Death Wish 3 often has the tone of a comedy as Kersey, gun in one hand, ice cream cone in another, offs baddies like lanternflies. As the stakes get higher the weapons get bigger, with a dizzyingly violent climax – 20 minutes of relentless flames and bloodshed.
Starring: Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Patrick Dempsey
A biopic of automotive mogul Enzo Ferrari, whose family redefined the idea of the high-powered Italian sports car and practically spawned the concept of Formula One racing.

The fraternity brothers at Delta Epsilon Delta are your typical red-blooded American party animals, that is except for Edgar Allen Lovecraft. He’s locked up in his room trying to cure death and finds a serum that works on the severed head of a recently deceased comedian. When a mafia hood steals the serum to use on his murdered squeeze, her reanimated corpse goes on a campus killing spree – let the corny puns and one-punch decapitations fly!
Reanimator Academy was produced down and dirty for the booming video store rental market by legendary producer David DeCoteau (Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama) and directed by the equally renowned Bret McCormick (The Abomination), under what is possibly the best pseudonym ever used in a film. This silly send-up of Lovecraftian lore and cinematic tropes will leave you feeling as hungover and headless as a three-kegger blowout.

But these Rascals will have to kick, punch and fart their way through every ninja, monster and mutant in sight before they can restore peace.
A frantic, eccentric and loving homage to Asian cinema in all its forms, Kung Fu Rascals is part old school chop socky movie, Kaiju flick and Power Rangers episode rolled into one. The directorial debut from legendary Hollywood special effects artist Steve Wang (The Monster Squad, Predator, The Guyver, Drive), this Super 8 epic showcases both his monster make-up mastery and sharp action movie sensibilities.

In rural Texas, several farmers are transformed into bloodthirsty, chatty zombie killers when a mysterious mist from outer space infects the earth. A young couple must warn townsfolk and try to escape before inept government officials drop a bomb and nuke them all out of existence.
Glen Coburn’s hilarious, gag-and-gore filled homage to 1950s horror and sci-fi classics has remained a fan favorite for nearly four decades since its VHS debut in video stores across the country. And it remains one of the best, most successful examples of low budget regional filmmaking and 1980s gross out horror comedy.

A new deadly drug named ‘Rapture’ has taken over the streets of New York City, and a pair of cops have been tasked with finding its source. Little do they know that the drug was created by an army of demons that live under NYC, who have also just conjured the Antichrist. Now the cops must rescue the spawn of Satan and get it across town to Pastor Williams (Rudy Ray Moore) in order to baptize and exorcise the baby beast.
Perhaps the most dense and extravagant effort from prolific SOV madman Todd Sheets, Violent New Breed features multiple plotlines, countless characters and a juicy helping of his trademark gore that all twist together into a unique stew of satanic panic horror and summer tentpole ambition on a camping tent budget.
