Bogus tarot card reader Ivy (Toby Poser) and her teenage daughter Echo (Zelda Adams) are an unconventional but loving mother/daughter team. But when reclusive Kurt (John Adams) moves in down the road, a tragic accident results in Echo's murder, causing three lives to collide in mysterious and wicked ways. Kurt believes he can hide his secret beneath the earth - but Echo, refusing to accept death, burrows into his head until he can feel her in his bones. As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond, Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won't stay buried. A dark, unsettling meditation on grief, survival and the brittle barrier that separates the living from the dead, this limited double-disc edition pairs The Deeper You Dig with John Adams' earlier feature The Hatred, making for a compelling double bill of original, independent horror.

The new high def collector's edition comes with a beautiful heavy card stock slipcover dedicated to the late Robert Forster. It's back to the 80's with this 1989 crime thriller that features an ensemble cast led by the legendary Robert Forster best known for Quentin Tarantino's JACKIE BROWN. In fact it is said this picture was one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite while he worked as a video store clerk eight years previous. The story revolves around high priced prostitutes being brutally murdered and their bodies mutilated. The investigating cop (Robert Forster) is out to solve the crime before his ex-wife (Shanna Reed, The Colby's), a reporter, becomes the next victim. Duncan Regehr (The Monster Club) is the menacing banker. Jeff Conway (Taxi), Lief Garrett (The Outsiders), Deborah Richter (Cyborg) and Richard Roundtree (Shaft) round up the all-star cast. Shortly before the production of this release was completed, Robert Forster sadly passed away in 2019. Dark Force is dedicating this release to his memory.

Dark Force – https://darkforcesuperstore.com/shop-all/ “The Banker” Blu-Ray – https://mvdshop.com/products/the-banker-blu-ray Patreon Pick "Hard to Be a God" Blu-Ray Review (Arrow Films)![]() A group of scientists visits the distant planet Arkanar, and discovers a society still trapped in its own medieval era. Unable to interfere with the course of its history, they can only watch in mounting horror as all sparks of intelligent and independent thought are mercilessly snuffed out by Arkanar’s cruel rulers. Will they remain enmired in their squalid existence for ever, or can the visitors subtly nudge the more open-minded in the right direction? Truly, it’s hard to be a god. Legendary Russian sci-fi authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (whose Roadside Picnic was filmed as Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky) wrote the source novel, and adapting it was director Aleksei German’s dream project for decades. It would take six years of shooting, a further six of post-production and a posthumous premiere before his masterpiece was finally unveiled. But masterpiece it is: a visually astonishing, almost tactile recreation of an unnervingly recognisable alternative universe, drenched in blood, mud and the tears of the oppressed.

One of the great taboo-smashers of the late ’60s, directed by Tinto Brass, featuring interracial affairs, anti-Vietnam statements, violence versus sex. ATTRACTION (NEROSUBIANCO) will stun anyone expecting a standard softcore European sex flick as released originally in the US thru Radley Metzger’s Audubon Films under the title THE ARTFUL PENETRATION OF BARBARA, then brace yourself for a whirlwind trip with a married woman (Anita Sanders) whose journey through the psychedelic English youth scene awakens her to the carnal offerings of an African-American man (Terry Carter), all set to by a searing soundtrack by FREEDOM, a tripped-out group formed from the remnants of PROCAL HARUM. Nearly plotless and often improvised, this undiscovered cult film distinctive tone and editing scheme anticipated everything in the following year releases of Nicolas Roeg PERFORMANCE, Kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE to our current post-MTV mindsets.
