COPYCAT (September 23)
Tormented by the desire to find the murderer who took her mother’s life, journalist Laura Nelson investigates the only clue the killer leaves behind at the scene – his diary pages. References in the blood soaked pages to Richard Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein lead Laura to believe the murderer has been inspired by the most infamous of serial killers. Through the readings she learns more than she ever wanted to know about the motives behind these monsters and how this killer is paralleling his mentors. The closer Laura gets to finding him, the closer he gets to finding her. It’s a thrilling cat and mouse game to the deadly end.
THE MORUE (September 2)
Trapped between the physical world and the afterlife, between dusk and dawn, six strangers are brought together through a series of unusual events. Trapped in a morgue, their disappearance goes mysteriously unnoticed by others. In a futile attempt for survival, they latch on to each other in hopes of making it through the night. The Morgue is an intense psychological thriller with a surprise and shocking twist. More is happening at the morgue than meets the eye.
SON OF SAM (September 2)
From the master of horror Ulli Lommel (Curse of the Zodiac), comes Son of Sam. The film creates a fictionalized account of the chilling tale of the “Son of Sam,” a vicious serial killer who terrorized the streets of New York in the late `70s. Upon his arrest, the “Son of Sam” told police he was influenced by a satanic cult. The city of New York would never be the same.
