Director Ron Howard, who impressed audiences with BACKDRAFT (1991) and A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001), has outdone himself with THE MISSING, a wrenching family drama that unfolds in the midst of a classic 1880s Western. This extraordinarily beautiful film offers astounding panoramic photography and inspired performances that enrich a truly hair-raising journey. As ever, Cate Blanchett brings intense realism to the role of Maggie Gilkeson, a New Mexico cattle rancher who dabbles in the healing arts. Her long-estranged father Samuel Jones (Tommy Lee Jones) is mistaken for an Indian when he inexplicably shows up on her property hoping for reconciliation; he abandoned his family years earlier to adopt a Native American identity. An embittered Maggie sends him away, but capitulates when her eldest daughter Lilly (Evan Rachel Wood) is kidnapped by a band of psychotic Apache killers. When the local sheriff and the U.S. Army balk at chasing the perpetrators, a desperate Maggie turns to her father, praying he is sufficiently savvy in tribal ways to save her daughter.Blanchett and Jones clearly own this movie, and are both superb. Wunderkind child actor Jenna Boyd is spectacular as Maggie's youngest daughter, Dot. Also noteworthy are a brief but poignant cameo by Val Kilmer as an apathetic Army general and a skin-crawling appearance by Eric Schweig as Chidin, the outlaw leader.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CasePan& Scan - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers Audio Commentary - 1.

REQUIEM FOR A VAMPIRE begins with two beautiful women in clown costumes fleeing an unknown assailant in a car on a country road. After a shootout, and a brush with premature burial, the girls seek shelter in a spooky castle. After they share an erotic encounter, the girls discover they are not alone in the castle. It turns out that it is populated by the disciples of the last in a long bloodline of vampires who needs a couple of virgins to continue his bloodline. Jean Rollin's 1971 film is a stunning, surreal exploitation film and one of his most notable. Though some unconvincing vampire teeth and bats may evoke laughter, the film still has a strange and eerie power (and a considerable amount of sex and nudity). With little dialogue, this unusual work often feels like a twisted silent horror.DVD Features:Region Encoding: All RegionsKeep CaseTheatrical Trailers

Lester Parsons has a lot of problems. First of all, he's addicted to gambling, but is absolutely terrible at it, leaving him with massive debts to his bookies. Second of all, he has an unnatural taste for human flesh. But luckily for Lester, he has discovered a way to solve both problems at once, by romancing wealthy widows, then slaughtering them for their money and meat. A problem arises, however, when a mysterious blackmailer aims to thwart him by slowly leaking incriminating information to the police. TOUCH OF DEATH (QUANDO ALICE RUPPE LO SPECCHIO) was directed by Lucio Fulci and is filled with the gore and black humor that made him a cult favorite.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseAudio: (unspecified) - Italian Subtitles - English

It isn`t until almost 100 years later when a team of parapsychologists decide to explore the mansion that Fischer`s evil bordello is discovered. Finding themselves besieged by zombies and sexy demons, the parapsychologists must now fight their way out of Fischer`s cavernous estate and destroy the evil that lurks within.
