BEAST: Cinema Image

Several people, cursed to turn into monstrous feral beasts, find themselves pursued through Germany by unknown, violent forces. Alex, who has been estranged from his family returns to confront certain “issues.” Aside from his day-to-day woes, his biggest trouble is that he transforms into a violent, feral beast – and he’s been given this curse by someone in his family. Meanwhile, another “beast” named Tim is being pursued across the German countryside. These similar people with different stories intertwine, the body count mounts, and a shocking truth is revealed in their wild, blood-soaked showdown.

CZECH CHILLERS (VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS, WITCHES’ HAMMER): Facets

During the dark days of Communism, Czech directors sometimes turned to horror and fantasy to spin tales of girls bewitched by evil forces and innocent victims tortured by inquisitors — but it wasn’t always monsters from the past that they were talking about! This unique Facets 2-Pack offers two tales of terror from the other side of the Iron Curtain. VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS finds a young girl strangely affected by a pair of enchanted earrings, while WITCHES HAMMER takes us deep into the demented psyche of a witch hunter.

Pained with the untold truth of the vanishing of her sister and Allison’s escalating paranoia; will Charisma ultimately be forced to choose between her friend and a stranger? Some things may be better left undiscovered

LATE BLOOMER: Bone House Asia

Sumida, a young man confined to a wheelchair, drinks his life away in alcoholic splendor with his friend, Take. He is unable to speak, except through an electronic voice box. He is the object of pity among his friends and disgusting to those who don t know him. When a young girl temporarily becomes his caregiver to fulfill a school assignment, he mistakes her harmless flirtation for love. Her rejection of him sends him on a downward spiral of anger and revenge.

LOCUSTS: THE 8TH PLAGUE: Image

Watch the skies… and run! Terror is breeding at a remote Midwestern government facility, where top-secret lab experiments have resulted in genetically-engineered locusts able to devour the flesh from any humans in their path. When the swarm escapes, a determined researcher heads a team to stop the menace before it consumes the world!

SNAKEHEAD TERROR: Image

Mutated Snakehead fish become deadly predators in a small Northeastern town when they become capable of moving on land, with a small population becoming its newest food source.
