Tattoo
Synopsis: His twisted passion for her … and her desire to escape will mark both of their lives forever. In this highly controversial story of unrequited love, a morbid, violent-tempered Vietnam vet lives out his darkest fantasy. Karl Kinsky, a tattoo artist (Bruce Dern, The Hateful Eight) kidnaps a model who has become his obsession. Maud Adams (Octopussy) gives a riveting performance as the woman of his evil desires … and the canvas for his full-bodied, ink-laden art. This daring and visually compelling drama ruthlessly careens down a path of taboos, tattoos and tantalizing seductions. Director Bob Brooks (Space: 1999) combines eroticism, sexuality and love to make Tattoo one of the most suspenseful thrillers ever filmed.

Graveyard Shift
Synopsis:
Workers clock in for their shift ... and clock out for good!
From master storyteller Stephen King (Pet Sematary) comes his most terror-filled tale yet ...
When an abandoned textile mill is reopened, several employees meet mysterious deaths. The link between the killings is the hour: all occurred between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. – the Graveyard Shift. The sadistic mill foreman has chosen a group to clean up the mill's rat-infested basement. But what the workers find is a subterranean maze of tunnels leading to the cemetery – and an unimaginable horror that comes alive in the dead of night ...

The Tenant
Synopsis: An apartment with an unhappy past sets the stage for filmmaker Roman Polanski's riveting psychological suspense thriller, The Tenant. Polanski stars as Trelkovsky, a quiet, timid file clerk increasingly overshadowed with dread and fear after he moves into his new apartment. Adding to his paranoia are the building's other occupants, who do nothing to alleviate his growing obsession with the untimely, tragic fate of the apartment's previous tenant. Is Trelkovsky's dread truly justified – or is it simply the result of his seemingly disintegrating mental state? A brilliant international cast – Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas, Jo Van Fleet, Bernard Fresson and Shelley Winters – and Polanski's own penchant for delivering unprecedented suspense (Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown) make The Tenant a haunting, riveting film classic!
