Dr. Alex Beck is left unconscious after his wife and childhood sweetheart, Margot is brutally murdered. Eight years later, Alex receives an anonymous e-mail showing a woman's face in a crowd - Margot's face...With new hope that his wife is still alive, Alex is thrown headlong into a deadly chase - running from the Police and a team of killers who will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
Description: The directorial debut from Academy-Award@ winning actor Tommy Lee Jones. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is an epic tale of revenge and redemption, friendship and loyalty, set against the majestic border country of the United States. When Melquiades Estrada (Julio César Cedillo, All The Pretty Horses) is found murdered and buried in a shallow grave in the desert, the local police force makes no attempt to solve the crime, rapidly transferring the corpse to a pauper's grave. Driven by a promise he made to Melquiades before his death, ranch foreman Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) takes it upon himself to track down the murderer and give his friend the burial he deserves.
With stunning cinematography by two-time Academy Award@ winning cinematographer Chris Menges. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, also stars Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile). January Jones (Anger Management, Full Frontal) and Dwight Yoakam (Sling Blade, Panic Room). Awarded Best Actor for Tommy Lee Jones and Best Screenplay for writer Guillermo Arriaga (Amores Perros, 21 Grams) at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, this remarkable debut revitalises the Western genre, combining the best of classic Eastwood and Peckinpah.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Deathdream
Description: Much more than just a straightforward horror, Clark uses his supreme skill as a manipulator of tension to present another Zombie classic that was one of the first films to confront the domestic ravages of the Vietnam War.
In this shattering variation on "The Monkey's Paw", grief-stricken suburban parents refuse to accept the news that their son Andy has been killed in Vietnam. But when Andy returns home soon after, something may be horribly wrong: Andy is alive and well... or is he?
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things
Description: 101 Films Present Children Shouldn't play with dead things, Bob Clark's first step into Horror. With almost no budget and a cast and crew made up of friends, Clark triumphs with an eerie, funny and genuinely terrifying Zombie classic with an excellent turn by frequent collaborator Alan Ormsby as the dreaded director 'Alan'.
Led by a mean-spirited director, a theatre troupe travels by boat to a small island for buried criminals. The group gets more than they bargained for when the dead rise from their graves. Can they stay put until daylight against the undead onslaught, or do they flee into the pitch-black night? Will anyone survive?
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Black Christmas
Description: 101 Films presents Black Christmas, director Bob Clark's final foray into the world of horror. Taking the "babysitter and the man upstairs" urban legend, Bob Clark manages to redefine the genre, in the process creating one of the earliest examples of the 'slasher' that went on to inspire so many great films that came in its wake.
As Christmas break begins, a group of sorority sisters make plans for the holiday. Jess (Olivia Hussey) and Barb (Margot Kidder) begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls that put them on edge. Initially, Barb encourages the mysterious caller but stops when he responds threateningly. Soon, Barb's friend Claire (Lynne Griffin) goes missing from the sorority house and a local adolescent girl is murdered, leading the girls to suspect a serial killer is on the loose. The police finally begin to get concerned when a teenage girl is found dead in the park - they set up a wiretap to the sorority house, but no one realizes just how near the killer really is!
