The Crow [Blu-ray + Digital Copy]

The Crow set the standard for dark and violent comic-book movies (like Spawn or director Alex Proyas’s superior follow-up, Dark City), but it will forever be remembered as the film during which star Brandon Lee (son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee) was accidentally killed on the set by a loaded gun. The filmmakers were able to digitally sample what they’d captured of Lee’s performance and piece together enough footage to make the movie releasable. Indeed, it is probably more fascinating for that post-production story than for the tale on the screen. The Crow is appropriately cloaked in ominous expressionistic shadows, oozing urban dread and occult menace from every dank concrete crack, but it really adds up to a simple and perfunctory tale of ritual revenge. Guided by a portentous crow (standing in for Poe’s raven), Lee plays a deceased rock musician who returns from the grave to systematically torture and kill the outlandishly violent gang of hoodlums who murdered him and his fiancée the year before. The film is worth watching for its compelling visuals and genuinely nightmarish, otherworldly ambience. –Jim Emerson (from Amazon.com)

Satan Hates You

Inspired by films from the golden age of religious cinema such as A Thief in the Night (1972) and Stalked (1969), Satan Hates You is a graphic horror film that tells the stories of two individuals and their personal struggles with Lucifer himself. We follow Marc (Don Wood), a homicidal maniac who tends to get hit on by lots of gay men. Sadly for those gay men, Marc is driven by demons buried deep within his soul. We also follow Wendy (Christine Spencer), Marc’s polar opposite, who lives life fast and hard without a second’s thought to the consequences. Their separate paths will eventually cross, but will it be on the road to salvation or the highway to hell? Director James Felix McKenney (Automatons) takes us on a wild and explosive journey to Hell and brings some of the most notable legends of the horror genre along for the ride.

Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption

Zombie Apocalypse Redemption (ZAR) is a horror/adventure movie, combining favorite elements from the zombie and post-apocalyptic genres. It is a hero story on a semi-epic scale told in a classical fashion. Aesthetically, ZAR resembles The Road Warrior with its over-the-top, cobbled-together, post-nuke comic realism.Synopsis:At the end of civilization, zombies greatly outnumber people and every day is a fight to see tomorrow. Just when he is about to give up this fight, rugged wanderer John Knox winds up being saved by a ragtag group of survivors. Just as he is getting comfortable with his new family in the wasteland, a war party of maniacal raiders assaults the camp, and they kidnap Sarah Knox’s love interest. It’s up to Knox and the few who escaped the attack to gather what resources they can (including zombies!) and launch an all-or-nothing rescue mission on the raiders’ home fortress. Bonus Features: -Deleted Scenes -Behind the Scenes -Short Film -Commentary with director, writer and Fred (The Hammer) Williamson
