THE SHARK HUNTER
The other shark movie from legendary action director Enzo G. Castellari (GREAT WHITE, THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS) brings him together with his STREET LAW and KEOMA star Franco Nero – along with a screenplay co-written by Tito Carpi (LAST CANNIBAL WORLD), insane underwater stunts by Ramón Bravo (ZOMBIE) and an outstanding score by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis (SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD) – for a high-speed, double-barreled, shark-punching blast: In a Mexican seaside village, a reclusive fisherman (Nero) with a haunted past battles cold-blooded treasure hunters to retrieve $100 million from an underwater grotto infested with killer sharks. Werner Pochath (COP GAME), Jorge Luke (TREASURE OF THE AMAZON), Eduardo Fajardo (DJANGO) and Enzo himself co-star in this “gritty action-adventure that roars to life with weird audacity” (Oh, The Horror!), now scanned in 4K from the only surviving film elements, plus a Bonus Soundtrack CD and Special Features that include the first-ever on-camera reunion/reminiscence with Castellari and Nero.

But when he’s drawn to a local group of neo-Nazis, their escalating violence towards immigrants and minorities will collide with his growing relationship with a beautiful African woman.

FERAT VAMPIRE
From Juraj Herz – the award-winning writer/director of MORGIANA, THE NINTH HEART, THE CREMATOR and subversive genius of the Czech New Wave – comes the disturbing shocker driven by cultural provocation, political paranoia and a supercharged take on the vampire mythos, now on disc for the first time ever in America: When Ferat Motors introduces a new high-performance sports car, a trauma doctor investigates a bizarre theory that the vehicle is a biological machine fueled by human blood. Jirí Menzel (director of the Oscar®-winning CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS), Dagmar Havlová (former First Lady of the Czech Republic) and the iconic Škoda 110 Super Sport star in this “deeply weird horror thriller with sci-fi overtones and a touch of Cronenberg” (House Of Self-Indulgence), restored from the best existing 35mm elements by Národní Filmový Archiv and Severin Films with over 5 hours of new & archival Special Features curated exclusively for this release.

BASKIN
Anyone who’s seen it knows it’s “a shocking tale straight out of hell” (Bloody
Disgusting). Those yet to experience it “may forget it’s only a movie” (rogerebert.com). Either way, nothing will prepare you for the “genuinely nightmarish and horribly beautiful” (Time Out) debut feature from Turkish writer/director Can Evrenol presented in UHD for the first time: When a 5-man police squad is lured into a realm where torment, depravity and damnation are the only law, they’ll become prisoners of an abyss from which there may be no mortal escape. This “orgiastic Black Mass of stylized revulsion” (The Hollywood Reporter) now hits harder than ever in 4K, with 3+ hours of Special Features that include a behind-the-scenes documentary, 10-years-later retrospective, Evrenol’s original short film and much more.

Academy Award nominee Linda Blair stars in this Ozploitation shocker based on the real-life Chelmsford Hospital horror that led to 24 deaths, stunned ‘80s Australia and rocked the world of mental healthcare forever: A new nurse (Blair) arrives at a private clinic and discovers that the renowned resident psychiatrist is treating short-term patients with a combination of coma-like sedation and electroconvulsive therapy. But when these unorthodox procedures trigger dozens of tragedies, she’ll risk her own life to expose decades of malpractice and murder.
