Killer Of Sheep (#1262)

Criterion | 1978 | 80 min | Not Rated
Directed by Charles Burnett

A quiet revelation of American independent filmmaking, Charles Burnett’s lyrical debut feature unfolds as a mosaic of Black life in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, where Stan (Henry Gayle Sanders), a father worn down by his job in a slaughterhouse, and his wife (Kaycee Moore) seek moments of tenderness in the face of myriad disappointments. Equally attuned to the world of children and that of adults, Burnett—acting as director, writer, producer, cinematographer, and editor—finds poetry amid everyday struggles in indelible images that glow with compassionate beauty. Largely unseen for decades following its completion in 1977, Killer of Sheep is now recognized as a touchstone of the groundbreaking LA Rebellion movement, and a masterpiece that brought Black American lives to the screen with an aching intimacy like no film before.

Killer of Sheep was restored and remastered by UCLA Film & Television Archive, Milestone Films, and the Criterion Collection.

Margie Newton (THE ADVENTURES OF HERCULES), Franco Garofalo (THE OTHER HELL) and a soundtrack ‘borrowed’ from Goblin star in “a must for all fans of Italian exploitation” (Cinezilla) – also known as VIRUS, NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES and ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH – now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.

But after a run-in with angry competitors, Roy finds himself sadder, wiser and minus his bowling hand! Years later, he meets the naive Ishmael (Quaid), an Amish bowling whiz. Together they set out for a million-dollar tournament in Reno, and along the way pick up Claudia (Vanessa Angel, Spies Like Us), a sexy vixen with brains, attitude and really big…ideas. With her help, they make it to the tournament. But will Roy and Ishmael win the big match and score fame and fortune…or will all their hopes and dreams just go barreling down the gutter?

Audie Murphy Collection IV

(The Kid From Texas | The Cimarron Kid | Drums Across the River)

Kino Lorber | 1950-1954 | 3 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Kurt Neumann, Nathan Juran, Budd Boetticher

This collection features three classic Technicolor westerns from the 1950s starring the incomparable Audie Murphy. The Kid from Texas (1950) – The True, Savage Story of Billy the Kid! In the movie that catapulted him into cinema legend, Audie Murphy (No Name on the Bullet) portrays the infamous William H. Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, who becomes embroiled in the historic land wars of Lincoln County, New Mexico Territory. In 1879, a rancher named Jameson takes a shine to the outlaw Billy the Kid and gives him a job as a hired hand. But when thugs working for a rival rancher kill Jameson in an ambush, the young gunslinger decides to take out every man responsible for his boss’s death. Billy guns down the culprits one by one, always staying just out of the law’s reach—until Sheriff Pat Garrett catches up with him. Directed by the prolific Kurt Neumann (Island of Lost Men, The Fly) and co-starring Gale Storm (Revenge of the Zombies), Will Geer (Broken Arrow) and Albert Dekker (Dr. Cyclops), The Kid from Texas was Murphy’s first Technicolor western and the first film on his Universal-International Pictures contract which launched the young WWII hero into western iconography. The Cimarron Kid (1952) – He Led the Last Great Outlaw Raids! Audie Murphy (Ride a Crooked Trail) came into his own as a western star in this rousing Technicolor tale of Bill Doolin, aka The Cimarron Kid, directed by the renowned Budd Boetticher (Horizons West, Wings of the Hawk, Seven Men from Now). After being falsely accused of a payroll heist, the Cimarron Kid heads for the high country where he joins up with his boyhood pals, the notorious Dalton gang. But when the Daltons are decimated during a daring daylight bank robbery, the Kid takes over what is left of the gang and hides out at a local ranch. Here he is reformed by the love of a rancher’s daughter (Beverly Tyler, Chicago Confidential), but not so reformed that he doesn’t embark upon one last heist. James Best (Kansas Raiders), the alluring Yvette Duguay (Cattle Queen of Montana) and Hugh O’Brian (The Fiend Who Walked the West) co-star. Drums Across the River (1954) – A Wilderness of Danger! An Empire of Savage Hate! Driven to desperation by hard times, Frank Walker (Lyle Bettger, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral) and a party of miners decide to dig for gold in Ute territory despite a peace treaty that forbids trespassing on their land. Joining the group in spite of his father’s warning is Gary Brannon (Audie Murphy, Night Passage), who has no qualms about breaking the treaty since his mother was killed by the tribe. The miners’ actions soon incur the wrath of the Ute and Gary finds himself caught in the middle of a deadly situation that threatens to explode into a bloody race war. Directed in Technicolor by Nathan Juran (Gunsmoke, The Golden Blade), Drums Across the River is distinguished by a cast of sagebrush giants such as Hugh O’Brian (The Shootist), Jay Silverheels (The Lone Ranger) and the great Walter Brennan (The Westerner).

Maria Schneider (Anamaria Vartolomei) is a promising, young French actress. When she gets the lead in a feature film directed by an acclaimed Italian filmmaker and starring one of America’s most beloved actors, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime.

Until one day, when the two men conspire to shoot a crucial sex scene as a harrowing assault without letting Maria in on the plan. The film goes on to be lauded as a fearless artistic breakthrough, but for Maria, it’s the beginning of a living hell.

Gate Of Flesh

88 Films | 1988 | 97 min | Not Rated
Directed by Hideo Gosha

In the shell-shocked, rubble-strewn wasteland of postwar Tokyo during the Allied Occupation, a group of prostitutes band together to form a makeshift guild with the aim of pooling their resources to build a dance hall called Paradise. As their independent existence becomes threatened by the hawkish parade of gangsters, black marketeers and would-be pimps all looking for a cut from their flesh-peddling, the discovery of an unexploded bomb in the cavernous burned-out building where they ply their trade throws their dreams into further jeopardy. Hideo Gosha (Violent Streets, Yakuza Wives) brings a fresh eye to this oft-filmed story by Taijiro Tamura, best known from its 1964 adaptation by Seijun Suzuki, resulting in a powerful and compelling drama making its home premiere for the very first time outside of Japan courtesy of 88 Films.

House of Psychotic Women Rarities Collection Vol. 2

(Butterfly Kiss | Morgiana | The Savage Eye | The Glass Ceiling)

Severin Films | 1960-1995 | 4 Movies | Not Rated
Directed by Eloy de la Iglesia, Ben Maddow, Juraj Herz, Michael Winterbottom, Joseph Strick

In this second collection inspired by her “groundbreaking” (Screen Anarchy) book that “forever changed the landscape of film analysis” (Bloody Disgusting), producer/curator Kier-La Janisse presents a new quartet of international classics – along with nearly 11 combined hours of Special Features – that explores startling depictions of female neurosis on screen: Amanda Plummer gives a searing performance as a disturbed drifter on a cross-country killing spree in BUTTERFLY KISS, the breakthrough debut from director Michael Winterbottom. Legendary Czech actress Iva Janžurová portrays a pair of rival sisters in Juraj Herz’ crazed gothic melodrama MORGIANA. In Ben Maddow, Sidney Meyers and Joseph Strick’s ‘dramatized documentary’ THE SAVAGE EYE, Barbara Baxley stars as a bitter divorcee adrift in Los Angeles’ dark underbelly. And with the landmark Spanish thriller THE GLASS CEILING starring Carmen Sevilla, writer/director Eloy de la Iglesia crafts an unsettling story of paranoia, madness and murder. All 4 films in HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN RARITIES COLLECTION VOLUME 2 have been scanned from their original camera negatives and are presented on Blu-ray for the first time ever in North America.

BUTTERFLY KISS (1994)

in his “breathtakingly original” (Variety) debut feature, writer/director Michael Winterbottom (24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE, THE KILLER INSIDE ME) shocked audiences with the startling drama The New York Times called “a twisted British answer to THELMA & LOUISE”: Amanda Plummer (PULP FICTION) delivers “a brave performance that sears itself permanently into the viewer’s consciousness” (Austin Chronicle) as a disturbed drifter whose seduction of a lonely convenience store clerk (an equally daring Saskia Reeves of Slow Horses) triggers a cross-country odyssey of obsession, madness and murder. Ricky Tomlinson (RIFF-RAFF) co-stars in this “provocative masterpiece” (The Advocate) co-written by 2x BAFTA nominee Frank Cottrell-Boyce (WELCOME TO SARAJEVO) and featuring cinematography by 2x Oscar® nominee Seamus McGarvey (ATONEMENT), now scanned in 2K from the original camera negative by The British Film Institute and approved by Winterbottom and McGarvey.

MORGIANA (1972)

From internationally award-winning filmmaker Juraj Herz (THE CREMATOR, THE NINTH HEART) comes this “haunting” (Senses Of Cinema), “gorgeously baroque” (Starburst) and “deliriously exciting cult gem” (Culture Fix), considered to be the final film of the Czech New Wave: When their wealthy father dies, cruelly jealous Viktorie will lead her naïvely trusting sister Klára – both portrayed in “a frightening, stellar performance” (At The Mansion Of Madness) by legendary Czech actress Iva Janžurová – into a gothic nightmare of deception, blackmail and murder. Josef Abrhám (Václav Havel’s LEAVING) and Josef Somr (CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS) co-star in this “terrific chamber piece that horror fans still haven’t caught up to” (Mondo Digital), newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by The National Film Archive in Prague.

THE SAVAGE EYE (1959)

In 1959, a trio of outsider filmmakers – formerly blacklisted screenwriter Ben Maddow (THE ASPHALT JUNGLE), Oscar® nominated editor/director Sidney Meyers (THE QUIET ONE) and future Oscar® winning director Joseph Strick (INTERVIEWS WITH MY LAI VETERANS) – wrote, produced, edited and directed the ‘dramatized documentary’ that San Francisco Cinematheque calls “a masterpiece of verité cinema”: Adrift and bitter after her recent divorce, a woman (Barbara Baxley of NORMA RAE and NASHVILLE) confronts the grim realities of existence amongst the poetic grotesqueries of urban Los Angeles. The voice of Gary Merrill (ALL ABOUT EVE) co-stars in this “unique and unusual must-see” (FilmFanatic) – filmed on location by a team of cinematographers that included 2x Academy Award® winner Haskell Wexler (MEDIUM COOL) – now scanned in 4K by Severin Films from the original camera negative provided by the Academy Film Archive.

THE GLASS CEILING (1971)

In his landmark 1971 feature, writer/director Eloy de la Iglesia – who would go on to create such subversively disturbing films as CANNIBAL MAN, THE CREATURE and the Quinqui classics NAVAJEROS and EL PICO 1 & 2 – brought an unnerving new perspective to female madness: When her husband leaves on a business trip, a frustrated housewife – an award-winning performance by Carmen Sevilla, star of CROSS OF THE DEVIL and NO ONE HEARD THE SCREAM – begins to obsess over unfamiliar noises in their apartment building and suspects that an upstairs neighbor has committed murder. Dean Selmier (THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE), Patty Shepard (CRYPT OF THE LIVING DEAD), Fernando Cebrián (TRISTANA) and Emma Cohen (HORROR RISES FROM THE TOMB) co-star in this milestone Spanish thriller, now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.

But when his younger brother is found dead of a gruesome suicide, Will comes back to town and discovers that his death was motivated by a shocking event involving a local car dealer with a violent habit. To get vengeance against the man responsible, Will must deal with the unfinished business of his old life, which includes a feud with the local crime boss and lingering feelings for an old flame.

Lean On Me

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1989 | 108 min | Rated PG-13
Directed by John G. Avildsen

Lean on Me is the true story of high school principal Joe Clark, who armed himself with a bullhorn and Louisville Slugger and slammed the door on losers at Eastdale High in Paterson, New Jersey. Brought in to save the school, he chained the doors to keep troublemakers out and strivers in. Some teachers and parents fought him. But many kids loved him. He turned the school around and his achievement became a national triumph. Morgan Freeman electrifies as Clark in an extraordinary performance as an extraordinary man. Director John G. Avildsen ensures that Lean on Me, like his Rocky and The Karate Kid is rousing, crowd-pleasing entertainment.

The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins

Kino Lorber | 1971 | 107 min | Not Rated
Directed by Graham Stark

A madcap satire of English propriety, Graham Stark’s The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins unleashes Britain’s naughtiest bawdiest comedians upon the capital vices. While it may fall short of its claim of being “The funniest film with the greatest all-star comedy cast ever,” its abundant sight gags and double entendres make it the perfect specimen a unique form of risqué humor — and a veritable Who’s Who of 1960s British comedy. With its episodic structure, animated interstitials and script work by Graham Chapman, the film often evokes the irreverent spirit of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but the comedy of The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins is of a kinder and gentler nature, expressing a warm nostalgia for simpler times, before the sexual revolution turned such lovable comedians into cultural dinosaurs.

Mystery Street

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1950 | 93 min | Not Rated
Directed by John Sturges

Ricardo Montalban stars in this noir-influenced police procedural directed with style and panache by the great John Sturges. This M-G-M production unwinds the tale of a wealthy, married, socially prominent Bostonian, a woman of loose morals pregnant with his child, the hapless bar patron she seduces so she can steal a car … and the female skeleton that washes ashore on Cape Cod sometime later. Enter Lieutenant Peter Morales (Montalban), the detective assigned to the case. With few leads and little evidence, Morales finds an ally in Harvard-based forensic criminologist Dr. McAdoo (Bruce Bennett) to help find the murderer. Striking cinematography from the legendary John Alton, and the exceptional screenplay by Sydney Boehm and Richard Brooks (based on a story by Leonard Spigelgass) make Mystery Street a taut, dark exciting thriller.

An action-packed, swashbuckling adventure, Nate and Hayes aka Savage Islands stars screen legend Tommy Lee Jones (Black Moon Rising, The Hunted) as the notorious real-life buccaneer, Captain “Bully” Hayes, and Michael O’Keefe (Caddyshack) as the aspiring reverend Nathaniel “Nate” Williamson. The story takes place in the mid-1800s on the South Pacific islands where murderous raids and bloody battles were not uncommon. When a cutthroat gang headed by the villainous Ben Pease leaves young Nate for dead and kidnaps his beautiful fiancée Sophie (Jenny Seagrove, Local Hero), Nate’s only hope is to forge an unlikely alliance with an infamous and unpredictable swashbuckler named Hayes. Packed with humor, romance and cutlass-swinging action from stem to stern, this is a rousing pirate adventure co-written by the great John Hughes (Home Alone, Uncle Buck) from a story by David Odell (The Dark Crystal).

Rhapsody In Blue

(WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION)

Warner Bros. | 1945 | 161 min | Not Rated
Directed by Irving Rapper

Robert Alda stars alongside musical greats Al Jolson, Paul Whiteman, and Oscar Levant in this lavish fictionalized biography of composer George Gershwin. The film traces Gershwin’s rise from a “song plugger” for a Manhattan music publishing company to the heights of international fame and fortune. Gershwin’s first big hit is “Swanee,” introduced on Broadway by Al Jolson (playing himself). In collaboration with his lyricist brother, Ira (Herbert Rudley), George pens hit after hit in show after show. But George’s kindly old music teacher wants his prize pupil to aspire to something more artistic. Gershwin responds with “Rhapsody in Blue,” which debuts at Aeolian Hall in 1924 under the baton of bandleader Paul Whiteman (also playing himself). As his fame and workload grows, George finds he has no time at all for romance; the two ladies in his life both eventually realize that they’ll always have to play second fiddle to Gershwin’s muse. Warner Archive’s new Blu-ray disc restores over 12 minutes of footage to the film never before seen by the general public, and also includes the outstanding overture of Gershwin melodies which only accompanied the film during its New York and Hollywood premiere engagements.

Steppenwolf

Arrow | 2024 | 2 Movies | 102 min | Not Rated
Directed by Adilkhan Yerzhanov

A brutal story of an unlikely duo who will stop at nothing to find what they are looking for, Adilkhan Yerzhanov’s award-winning film Steppenwolf is “a nihilistic, hyper-violent redemption tale filled with social commentary” (Molly Henery, The Blogging Banshee) and “a must-see for fans of ultra-violent, vicious and unforgiving revenge films” (Gary Gamble, Moviehooker). Tamara (Anna Starchenko), a young lady consumed by trauma, searches for her missing son, Timka, in a small town dominated by riots and violence. In a desperate attempt to get him back, she teams up with an amoral former police investigator (Berik Aitzhanov) whose methods prove to be frequently cruel and sadistic. Quietly determined, Tamara decides to complete the mission with the nihilistic detective, no matter the cost, as the pair embark on a bloody and bullet-riddled road trip in their combined search for salvation. Winner of the Golden Raven Grand Prix at the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and the Outstanding Performance Award for both Anna Starchenko and Berik Aitzhanov at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival, Steppenwolf is the latest film from acclaimed director Adilkhan Yerzhanov (Cannes-selected The Gentle Indifference of the World and Venice-selected Goliath) and Oscar-nominated producer Alexander Rodnyansky (Leviathan).

Terror in the Fog:
Wallace Krimi at CCC

(The Curse of the Yellow Snake | The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle | The Mad Executioners | The Phantom of Soho | The Monster of London City | The Racetrack Murders | Masters of Cinema)

Eureka Entertainment | 1963-1964 | 5 Movies | 460 min | Not Rated
Directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb, Edwin Zbonek, Harald Reinl

In the 1960s, a cycle of crime films – or krimis – became hugely popular with West German audiences. Adapted from works by the British crime writer Edgar Wallace and his son Bryan Edgar Wallace, they combined the traditional murder mystery with horror as they depicted enigmatic killers stalking their victims through foggy English landscapes – from the streets of London to isolated rural mansions. Following the early success of the cycle after the release of Face of the Frog and The Crimson Circle, veteran producer Artur Brauner launched into his own series of Wallace krimis with his company CCC Film. Presented here are five key films drawn from CCC’s krimi cycle.

In The Curse of the Yellow Snake, a mysterious cult wishes to lay its hands on an ancient artefact that has been brought to London from Hong Kong. The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle sees a masked murderer stalk the grounds of a vast British estate – one who brands his victims’ foreheads with the letter “M.” London is faced with dual threats in The Mad Executioners, as a gang of hooded vigilantes roams the streets while a sadistic serial killer is on the loose. Jack the Ripper lives on in The Monster of London City, as a series of brutal murders brings panic to the British capital. Finally, in The Racetrack Murders (or The Seventh Victim), people are dropping like flies in and around a stately home – and the murders might just have something to do with the owner’s prized racehorse.

With its masked killers, labyrinthine plots and gothic atmosphere, the Wallace krimi blended crime, thriller and horror elements into a potent mix that had a significant influence on both the Italian giallo and the American slasher film. The Masters of Cinema series is proud to present five of Artur Brauner’s Wallace adaptations for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK from new restorations provided by CCC Film, alongside a wealth of special features – including a bonus film presented in standard definition, The Phantom of Soho.

World War I is over, let the living begin. So three German soldiers open a repair shop and get on with their lives.

This lyrical adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s novel is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s rare screenwriting credits. Melodrama virtuoso Frank Borzage (The Mortal Storm) is at the top of his directorial form here, and as Patricia, Sullavan remains the film’s luminous soul, its cherished fourth comrade.
