cannibal holocaust

 

Condemned, banned, prosecuted… Cannibal Holocaust is just about the most infamous film ever made, going further into horror and cruelty than just about any other movie as an American film crew makes contact with a tribe of primitive cannibals – and swiftly wishes they hadn’t. It’s the sort of film for which the phrase ‘stomach churning’ might have been invented but there’s more to Cannibal Holocaust than simply inducing nausea: it’s one of the most important films-about-filmmaking there is, and a powerful study of violence too. Director Ruggero Deodato’s (Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man) savage masterpiece has never looked better than on this gorgeous 4K restoration. 88 Films are proud to present the definitive edition of this horrible, essential classic.

species

 

With a creature designed by H. R. Giger and cast which includes Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, and Natasha Henstridge in her feature debut, Species is the perfect mix of shocking sci-fi with the added bonus of a very sexy, and seductive alien. Sil (Henstridge) is creation of alien DNA which has been spliced with that of a human. She grows and develops incredibly quickly into a creature capable of killing all in her path with only one thing on her mind, to successfully reproduce and continue her extermination of the whole human race. Visually stunning with a knowing nod to the classic B-movies of the 50s, this big budget fantasy manages to balance gruesome effects with cinemas most beautiful monster.

code of silence

 

From Andrew Davis, the director of The Fugitive, The Package and Under Siege, comes this riveting, turbo-charged crime thriller starring action legend Chuck Norris (Good Guys Wear Black, Invasion U.S.A.) in what most critics and fans consider to be his best film. Exploding with heart-stopping chases and lethal martial arts confrontations, it’s a daring and suspenseful adventure that pits an honest cop against two vicious crime lords and his own department.

Eddie Cusack (Norris) is a Chicago detective who plays by his own rules – a dangerous habit, especially when he breaks the “code of silence” to blow the lid off a deadly police cover-up. Now an outcast, he receives little help from his embittered fellow officers when he’s hurled into a blistering battle against rival drug kingpins. But Cusack is a one-man army, waging war on the criminals with his razor-sharp wits, lightning-fast karate moves and a remote-controlled, rocket-equipped tank!

romper stomper

 

In an electrifying breakthrough performance, Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind) stars in Romper Stomper, the shocking feature debut of writer-director Geoffrey Wright (Cherry Falls). In a Melbourne suburb, a violent neo-Nazi skinhead gang, led by the psychopathic Hando (Crowe), terrorises the Vietnamese Australian community. After an escalating series of violent incidents in which the gang is hunted by both the Vietnamese and the police, Hando’s girlfriend Gabrielle (Jacqueline McKenzie, Malignant) and confidant Davey (Daniel Pollock, in his only lead role) have second thoughts, leaving Hando with no way out… Hugely controversial upon its original release, Romper Stomper remains a classic of Australian cinema and a provocative and unsettling indictment of racist violence and social alienation.

Witchfinder General

 

With the English Civil War raging, Witchfinder Matthew Hopkins uses the fear and confusion caused by the conflict to enact his forms of cruelty and extortion on a small rural community. He and his sadistic assistant John Stearne exploit the uneducated villagers for cash and gold, laying waste to transgressors with their reign of torture and execution. But one man, a young soldier arrives to go after the pair in a fit of bloody revenge. Simply one of the most brutal British films of the late 60s, this Tigon-produced Michael Reeves (The Sorcerers) film featuring American horror star Vincent Price and Ian Ogilvy, offers up a maliciously violent polemic about the dangers of baying mobs and propaganda-fuelled cynical opportunists.

secret service of the imperial court

 

During the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor’s elite Chin Yi Secret Service was created to crush rebellion — but under the corrupt rule of Eunuch Wang Chun (Lau Wing), it has become a weapon of tyranny. Loyal captain Chao Pu-Fan (Leung Kar-Yan) faithfully carries out brutal orders until he realizes he’s merely a pawn in Wang’s reign of terror. When he defies the command to murder innocents, Pu-Fan becomes the hunted, forced to fight his own family and the empire itself to reclaim his honor.

Packed with breath-taking martial arts, political intrigue, and tragic heroism, Secret Service of the Imperial Court stands as one of Shaw Brothers’ most gripping and emotionally charged epics.

Twin barbarians, Gore and Kutcheck, set off on a mission to avenge their tribe, The Ragnicks who were brutally massacred years before by an evil warlord simply named Kadar.

the town that dreaded sundown

 

Inspired by the infamous Texarkana Moonlight Murders which took place in Texarkana in 1946, this controversial version of events is a grindhouse classic and a superior, sinister slasher.  A sack-hooded killer is stalking the land and is leaving a trail of bodies behind him, causing the locals to live in fear when the sun sets. Often compared to the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, thanks to its rural location, director Charles B Pierce shot the movie around the Texarkana area using locals as extras to give it a feeling of uneasy and raw authenticity. Perfectly plotted with a continuing sense of alarm this takes horror to an extreme and breathless level. Remember, don’t venture into the fields after dark!

Miami Vice

 

Going back to the original TV show which he’d helped create, Michael Mann (Manhunter, Heat, Thief) wrote and directed this big-screen revisit of his well-loved property. Starring Colin Farrell (In Bruges, The Batman) and Jamie Foxx (Collateral, Django Unchained), this neo-noirish thriller drips with the filmmaker’s distinctive vision. Complex, cool and cinematically perfect, it’s a must for all completist collectors of Mann’s impressive back catalogue. With its brooding atmosphere, pulsing soundtrack and slick digital cinematography, it stands as one of the most ambitious reimaginings of a classic series.

Night of the Big Heat

 

A scorching picture from 1967, Night of the Big Heat is a sweat-inducing shocker based on the 1957 novel from John Lymington. The remote island of Fara is experiencing a stifling heat wave in the middle of winter, causing life, as the locals know it, to come to a halt. Tensions rise as the heat increases plus a high-pitched tone of unknown origin is incinerating the villagers.

Mortuary

 

This twisted tale from director Howard Avedis is a prime slasher which arrived at the end of the stalk n’ slash craze and added a touch of giallo and devil worship to the mix. Christie (Mary Beth McDonough) is convinced her father’s death wasn’t an accident and tries to unlock the truth. Her trail of clues leads to the local mortuary where she uncovers ghastly horrors beyond her imagination. Probably best known for starring Bill Paxton as an embalmer (the movie is also known as Embalmed) who is a bit of a social misfit with an unhealthy, lifelong crush on Christie. Mortuary contains plenty of juicy set-pieces and bloodletting for fans of the genre to enjoy.

God of Gamblers

 

Ko Chun is the greatest high-roller in the world, king of the casino and as cool as only an in-his-prime Chow Yun-fat (Hard Boiled; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) can be. But that’s before a nasty head injury renders him mentally disabled.
After being befriended by unscrupulous hustler ‘Knife’ (golden-throated Canto-Pop king Andy Lau), it is discovered that, despite his other impairments, Ko’s unerring instincts for gambling remain intact. Knife thinks he’s on to a sure thing but Ko still has enemies and they haven’t forgotten him…

A huge hit on its original release, and one of the defining films of Chow Yun-fat’s astonishing career, the card-sharks at 88 Films are proud to roll the dice on a gloriously restored version of this Hong Kong classic.
