Kim Novak’s Vertigo | Dir. Alexandro O. Philippe
Kim Novak (Vertigo, Picnic, Bell Book and Candle) remains one of Hollywood’s most enduring enigmas – a luminous star who, at the peak of her fame, turned her back on the spotlight to embrace a life of solitude, self-expression, and authenticity. Once the top box office draw in the world, she defied the expectations of the studio system and the confines of celebrity, choosing individuality over image, and art over artifice. Kim Novak’s Vertigo is a lyrical and intimate portrait of a woman who refused to be remade by the industry that sought to define her. Blending rare archival footage with deeply personal reflections and vivid glimpses into her reclusive life along Oregon’s wild Rogue River, the film traces her extraordinary path – from mid-century icon to fiercely private artist.
Terror Train | Dir. Roger Spottiswoode
Take an excursion into terror with Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Ben Johnson (The Wild Bunch) in this classic shocker from director Roger Spottiswoode (Tomorrow Never Dies). It’s New Year’s Eve and a group of college co-eds have planned a masquerade bash aboard a chartered train. What they didn’t plan on was that a knife-wielding psycho would crash the party and begin slaughtering the guests one by one! Who is this brutal costumed killer? Could it be the mysterious magician (David Copperfield) with a talent for swordplay…a former frat pledge with an axe to grind… or any number of other guests, both invited and uninvited? Climb aboard the Terror Train for a frightening combination of blood-curdling horror and intriguing mystery.
Death Ship | Dir. Alvin Rakoff
What in the living hell is on board? Screen great George Kennedy (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Airport films) stars with Richard Crenna (Wait Until Dark, Rambo films), Nick Mancuso (Rapid Fire, The Ex) and Saul Rubinek (Unforgiven, Death Wish V) in this terrifying tale of a possessed ship searching for new victims on the high seas! An ocean liner carrying vacationing passengers collides with a mysterious freighter. The handful of survivors seek refuge aboard the sinister freighter—which turns out to be possessed by the evil forces that once commanded it! This is no ordinary ship…it’s a killing machine! Also starring Sally Ann Howes (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) and Kate Reid (The Andromeda Strain); directed by Alvin Rakoff (City on Fire) and based on a story by Jack Hill (Foxy Brown)—Pray you are never rescued by the DEATH SHIP!
Dracula’s Fiancée | Dir. Jean Rollin
A Van Helsing-like professor and his protegé are tracking Dracula’s descendants through the world of “parallels”, creatures who are human in form but live quite distinct psychic lives. A circus dwarf who is in love with one of these creatures leads them to a mansion filled with oddly behaving nuns, The Order of the White Virgins. The nuns are detaining a beautiful woman who is the betrothed of the still-extant Dracula. When she escapes, everyone follows her to Dracula’s seaside castle, on the way dealing with a baby-eating ogress and a wolf-woman (Brigitte Lahaie in a cameo), witches and madwomen. The bizarre wedding ritual commences.
Living Dead Girl | Dir. Jean Rollin
THE LIVING DEAD GIRL (La Morte Vivante) is the story of Catherine Valmont (Françoise Blanchard), a wealthy heiress dead before her time, who is accidentally reanimated when some unfortunate movers attempt to store drums of chemical waste in the neglected burial vaults below her uninhabited chateau. Rollin’s “living dead girl” does everything that cinematic convention requires – she kills people, drinks human blood, devours human flesh – yet, for all this, we accept her as an innocent. Meanwhile, the effect that her resurrection has upon her childhood friend, Hélène (Marina Pierro), is infinitely more conscious, deliberate, and evil.
Bloodier and more violent than his own tastes preferred, THE LIVING DEAD GIRL forced Rollin to work against the grain in his own preferred genre – and he transformed himself in the process. In the unsettling, bloody finale, Blanchard’s performance was so intense, so extreme in its confused appetite, revulsion, and glee, the take was nearly interrupted out of concern for the actress’s mental health. It’s one of the most emotionally incendiary finales in horror film history.
The Shiver of the Vampires | Dir. Jean Rollin
A young honeymooning couple stop for the night at an ancient castle. Unbeknownst to them, the castle is home to a horde of vampires, who have their own plans for the couple.
