Written by MrParka 
​                    Olive Films presents the 1987 horror thriller “The Believers” on Blu-Ray. The crazy cult horror film features a variety of character actors alongside its star, Martin Sheen, helping make it a well-acted mystery.
                Police psychiatrist Cal Jamison (Sheen) loses his wife in a tragic accident, leaving him and his son lost. They leave the suburbs for a New York apartment to start things over. Cal’s job begins to intersect in his family and love life when he becomes involved with the case of a young police officer struggling with his sanity. The matters are complicated further when this young officer may or may not be responsible for a string of child murders. These murders are not only putting Cal in danger, but also his remaining loved ones.
                “The Believers” follows a similar set up to the classic ghost story “The Changeling”. With the film starting out with a horrible tragedy, the lead in the film is sent into a dark and psychological place. Cal often seems to be struggling with being a father and forgiving himself throughout the entirety of the runtime. This guilt plays into the final scenes, although as an audience member you never doubt what Cal will do. The only real complaint is the length. The long runtime is due to the story being a little convoluted. There are too many side characters that seem to lead to the next plot point or character. These scenes all play out during the police procedural parts of the film. These moments could have been shortened and some of the extra characters eliminated, even if a handful of them are enjoyable additions. It’s well shot and uses its locations interestingly enough; the gritty streets of New York are usually filmed dark and with trash surrounding the streets. Although the location has an obvious danger to it, it never feels quite like the cesspool many films would lead one to believe. The twists and turns that happen are sometimes surprising and other times obvious, some seemingly taking inspiration from “Rosemary’s Baby”.  Some scenes leave a lasting impression, the body of a dead goat floating in the docks comes to memory. This scene is quickly followed by a shot of a shrine with a ritualistic kill of a child on it. As you can read no punches are pulled here; it kills the young and old, the loveable and deplorable.
                All around “The Believers” isn’t breaking any new ground, but it’s a solid horror thriller with a few supernatural elements that make it different, but not different enough to stand out on its own completely. It’s worth checking out for people looking for something fairly scary and adult with a strong cast and downbeat ending.

DESCRIPTION
The Believers, director John Schlesinger’s (Marathon Man) finally crafted, modern-day supernatural thriller, stars Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now), Helen Shaver (Desert Hearts) and Robert Loggia (Scarface).

Following the tragic death of his wife, psychologist Cal Jamison (Sheen) and his young son Chris (Harley Cross, Someone to Watch Over Me) relocate from Minneapolis to New York City to start a new life. Enlisted by Lt. McTaggert (Loggia) to help solve a baffling suicide case involving voodoo, Cal soon finds himself in the middle of an investigation with ties to a Caribbean religious cult and a series of ritualistic murders that will place him and those he loves in grave danger.

The Believers, based on the Nicholas Conde novel The Religion, is written for the screen by Mark Frost (co-creator of Twin Peaks), photographed by Robby Müller (Paris, Texas) and co-stars Jimmy Smits (TV’s NYPD Blue), Harris Yulin (Another Woman), Richard Masur (The Thing), and Elizabeth Wilson (9 to 5).

                Cult Epics brings the highly sexual Amsterdam cult classic “Blue Movie” to Blu-Ray and DVD for the first time. Earning its cult status due to its sexually explicit nature, it still remains relevant due to its social context. Michael (Hugo Metsers) has recently been released from prison after serving five years for having sexual intercourse with an underage girl. Although his crime is no longer illegal he still is on parole and must fit into society. He quickly moves into an apartment complex with a plentiful amount of women looking for company, married or not. Actor Hugo Metsers seems to have a knack for playing characters that are fairly grey in nature. They aren’t evil, but they are never someone you can truly get behind. The character of Michael seemingly gets into trouble within the first couple hours after he is moved in by starting a relationship with a married woman. This is, of course, after he watches her and her husband having sex from the balcony. At times “Blue Movie” is all about the sexual acts; showing them in detail and at other times presenting a layer of comedy, incorporating Michael’s parole officer Eddie (Helmert Woudenberg). Later the film seems to make a statement about “New Amsterdam” where sex should be more welcomed and one can profit from it, while shortly after portraying a tragic suicide directly related to sex. The intent or meaning of the film in its entirety is a little bit of a mystery, bringing up questions of sexuality, morality, and loyalty. “Blue Movie” is a well shot film using the main location nicely with long shots of the massive apartment complex while a wonderful score plays. The technique is all fine. The story as a whole seems to be a little light, but the scenes in themselves tend to have interesting moments worth checking out. Cult Epics has included a slew of features on the new collector’s edition release. Included on the release are an interview with director Wim Verstappen , an interview with producer Pim de la Parra at the Dutch Sex Wave festival, and an interview with Hugo Metsers Jr., Paris which tells the details about himself as a child finding out about his father’s films in the most unpleasant way.
Synopsis
The most sensational Dutch taboo film of all time!

After five years in prison, an ex-con returns to a society where total sexual freedom is now the norm. Michael (Frank & Eva’s Hugo Metsers) yearns for sex, and becomes fascinated by the amorous life of an attractive woman next door (Business Is Business’s Carry Tefsen), eventually organizing a series of sordid orgies with her and the neighbors…

Blue Movie was the most controversial and talked about Dutch film upon theatrical release – a sensation that brought millions of visitors to cinemas. Produced by Pim de la Parra (Frank & Eva, Obsessions), and directed by his partner Wim Verstappen, Blue Movie was a breakthrough commercial hit for their company Scorpio Films – and the start of the Golden Years of Dutch cinema, also known as the “Dutch Sex Wave.” Presented by Cult Epics for first time ever in High-definition on Blu-Ray & DVD – and featuring cinematography by Jan De Bont (Turkish Delight, Private Lessons, Basic Instinct) – now see for yourself what all the commotion was about!

MINDWARP

In the future, life will be a dream.  And reality a nightmare.

In a post-holocaust world, one woman (Marta Alicia) relies on computer fantasies to entertain herself, but a glitch sends her to a far-off wasteland to deal with monsters called Crawlers. She is saved by a young rebel (Bruce Campbell), but the pair are later captured and brought underground by the Crawlers. There, an overlord called the Seer (Angus Scrimm) presides over the kingdom and tries to make life miserable for his captives.

BRAINSCAN

An interactive trip to hell.

When a lonely teenager (Edward Furlong) orders the latest interactive video game, the high-tech wizardry penetrates his subconscious, where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly maze of murder, deception and desire. Pursued by homicide detective (Frank Langella) and prodded by the trickster (T. Ryder Smith), he is torn between the worlds of good and evil, of reality and fantasy and, ultimately, life and death.

Joe (Frank Stallone; Barfly) and Chris (Christopher Mitchum; Executioner Pt. 2) live a life of high seas adventures, working as merchant seamen. But after arriving in port in Los Angeles for a brief leave, Joe meets Anne, a desperate young woman with a sordid history of prostitution and heroin addiction. As their romance builds, Joe realizes that he’s falling in love, but soon Anne’s former pimp, Harry, tracks her down, kidnapping and brutalizing her with the intent of forcing her back under his control and into her old ways of life. Determined not to let her go, Joe and Harry form a two-man army to rescue Anne and take down Harry and his thugs, once and for all.

A brain-busting mid-80s action extravaganza in the Executioner Pt. 2 vein of mind-numbing sleaze, Savage Harbor (also known as Death Feud) also stars Greta Blackburn (Party Line), Anthony Caruso (Zebra Force, Claws), Nicholas Worth (Don’t Answer The Phone, Swamp Thing) and Lisa Loring (The Addams Family). Directed by notorious exploitation film auteur, Carl Monson (A Scream in the Streets), Vinegar Syndrome Archive presents the worldwide disc debut of Savage Harbor, presented in a new 2K restoration of its original camera negative!

A group of four friends traveling the West Coast arrive in a small town with a strange history of its residents disappearing mysteriously. What’s more is that the town’s elusive doctor, Dr. Schaeffer (Dean Jagger), is rumored to be conducting sinister experiments on the town’s youth so as to combat the aging process. As the group of young travelers find themselves embroiled in a diabolical scheme of medical madness, they realize – perhaps too late – that they are Dr. Schaeffer’s ideal specimens. 

A troubled production from its mid-70s beginnings, EVIL TOWN started life as ‘Dr Shagetz’ and was helmed by various directors at different points, including a young Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential). In the early 80s, producer Mardi Rustam bought the film and further retooled it, adding additional moments of sleaze and a strange subplot brewed from his own film, EVILS OF THE NIGHT, eventually retitling it EVIL TOWN. This bizarro mutant film epitomizes the lengths producers would go to re-market their work for the video era. Vinegar Syndrome Archive is proud to present EVIL TOWN on Blu-ray for the first time, featuring a fresh 2K restoration of the original camera negative!

“Evil Town” Blu-Ray – www.vinegarsyndrome.com/products/evil-town

Gaspar Noé, director of the hugely controversial Irreversible , Enter the Void and Love , makes a triumphant return with Climax - a visually dazzling feast of music and mayhem, and perhaps his most critically acclaimed work to date.

Following a successful rehearsal, a dance troupe set about celebrating with a party. But when it becomes apparent that someone has spiked the sangria, the joyous atmosphere soon transforms into a nightmarish hellscape of violence and twisted carnality as the dancers begin to turn on each other in an orgiastic frenzy.

Inspired equally by the worlds of modern dance and esoteric arthouse-horror (chief among them, Dario Argento’s Suspiria and Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession), Climax – which pulses towards its astonishing conclusion with a thumping score by the likes of Daft Punk, Aphex Twin and Gary Numan – illustrates a director at the height of his hallucinatory filmmaking powers.

Graceful, enigmatic, and often frightening, DOGTOOTH is an ingenious dark comedy that won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, propelling Yorgos Lanthimos to the forefront of contemporary cinema's most ambitious young filmmakers.

In an effort to protect their three children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a Greek couple transforms their home into a gated compound of cultural deprivation and strict rules of behavior. But children cannot remain innocent forever. When the father brings home a young woman to satisfy his son's sexual urges, the family's engineered "reality" begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.

Like the haunting, dystopic visions of Michael Haneke and Gaspar Noé, DOGTOOTH punctuates its compelling drama with moments of shocking violence, creating a biting social satire that is as profound as it is provocative.

THE PRICE OF ADMISSION IS THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
One of Quentin Tarantino’s favourite directors, Brian Trenchard-Smith was a key figure in the Ozploitation movement, responsible for The Man from Hong Kong, Stunt Rock, Turkey Shoot, BMX Bandits… and dystopian cult classic Dead-End Drive-In!

Set in a near-future where the economy has crumbled and violent gangs play havoc in the streets, the powers-that-be have decided to lure the delinquent youth into drive-in cinemas and keep them there. No longer just a place to watch trashy movies and make out, these outdoor picture shows have become concentration camps for the unruly and unwanted.

With its day-glo colour scheme, new wave soundtrack and extraordinary stunt work, Dead-End Drive-In is in the tradition of Ozploitation milestones Mad Maxand The Cars That Ate Paris only very, very eighties.

Before he created Westworld and Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton first blurred the line between science fiction and science fact with his breakout success The Andromeda Strain. Two years after the novel's publication, Robert Wise (The Haunting) directed the film adaptation, a nail-biting blend of clinically-realised docudrama and astonishing sci-fi visuals that ushered in a new subgenre: the "killer virus" biological thriller. A government satellite crashes outside a small town in New Mexico - and within minutes, every inhabitant of the town is dead, except for a crying baby and an elderly derelict. The satellite and the two survivors are sent to Wildfire, a top-secret underground laboratory equipped with a nuclear self-destruct mechanism to prevent the spread of infection in case of an outbreak. Realizing that the satellite brought back a lethal organism from another world, a team of government scientists race against the clock to understand the extraterrestrial virus - codenamed "Andromeda" - before it can wipe out all life on the planet. Aided by innovative visual effects by Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Silent Running) and an unforgettable avant-garde electronic music score by Gil Melle (The Sentinel), Wise's suspense classic still haunts to this day, and is presented here in a stunning, exclusive new restoration from the original negative.

Sherlock Holmes is the most filmed character of all time – but it is arguably this 1959 re-telling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tale The Hound of the Baskervilles, from legendary horror studio Hammer and starring genre stalwarts Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, which stands as the super sleuth’s finest cinematic hour.

Rising up out of the swirling mists of Dartmoor, Baskerville Hall stands tall and gloomy. Its occupant, Charles Baskerville, has been found dead in mysterious circumstances. Could Sir Charles have been the victim of the so-called “Baskerville Curse”, which tells of a deadly beast that stalks the surrounding countryside? Unperturbed by the legend, next-in-line Sir Henry Baskerville (a rare leading man performance from Lee) sets out to Dartmoor to assume inheritance of the family estate, under the auspices of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and right-hand man Dr. Watson (Andre Morell).

Imbued with an atmosphere as thick as fog, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a superlative gothic yarn which benefits from game performances from Cushing, Lee and Morell, as well as the expert direction of Terence Fisher, known for helming many of Hammer’s most celebrated efforts including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out.
