Australian label Umbrella Entertainment has announced its October batch of releases. They are: The Resurrection of the Golden Wolf (1979), Angst (1983), The Reef (2010), The ABCs of Death (2012), and New Extremity Collection Volume 2 (1997-2003).
The Resurrection of the Golden Wolf
Description: Awaken the beast in the rare Japanese crime-thriller THE RESURRECTION OF THE GOLDEN WOLF from a 4K restoration. This underrated action epic features the iconic Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill) and Yûsaku Matsuda (Black Rain).
Yusaka Matsuda stars as a seemingly run-of-the-mill corporate salary man who leads a double life as a vicious criminal by night. In a delicious scheme of payback, he seeks to dominate the corporation that employs him by day with no reservations about the violent and dastardly actions he must undertake in order to achieve his goal.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Angst 4K Blu-ray
Description: Succumb to absolute depravity with the horror masterpiece ANGST in 4K Dolby Vision from a NEW director-approved restoration, including NEW interviews with cast and crew.
Lauded as one of the best serial killer films ever made, ANGST is an exercise in fear and disturbance. Featuring innovative camera work for its time and incredible performances, ANGST puts you in the mind of a compulsive killer in the moments of the act, making it both a chilling and compelling experience. Renowned for its influence on filmmakers including Gaspar Noé (Enter The Void)
ANGST follows 'K', recently released from prison for murder. He quickly begins to feel the need to kill again, and we follow the sadistic spiral into chaos as K embarks on a murderous spree in rural Austria. Tense, visceral and paired with a stunning soundtrack, ANGST is for horror fans and cinephiles alike. "I'm gonna shoot"
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Reef
Descriptiion: A tense exercise in sustained terror, THE REEF takes a deep dive into our primal fear of sharks.
Wade into endless shark-infested waters with this sharksploitation Australian horror. From director Andrew Traucki (Black Water), this is among the scariest animal attack films from Australia.
Luke (Damian Walshe-Howling) along with his crewmates Matt (Gyton Grantley), Matt's girlfriend, Suzie (Adrienne Pickering), Matt's sister, Kate (Zoe Naylor) and Warren (Kieran Darcy-Smith) find themselves swimming with the sharks when the yacht they are delivering to Indonesia capsizes. Stalked by a great white, their only hope of safety is to swim to the safe shores of a nearby island.
Forget special FX and CGI sharks, just like he did for crocodiles in BLACK WATER, director Andrew Traucki filmed real life sharks to not only add authenticity to his lean men killing machine, but to make sure audiences never go in the water again.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The ABCs of Death
Description: Experience horror in all forms with THE ABC'S OF DEATH, an anthology from masters of the genre including Jason Eisener, Xavier Gens, Andrew Traucki, Nacho Vigalondo, Adam Wingard, Ti West, and more!
Few anthologies are as ambitious as the ABCS OF DEATH 26 films from more than 26 film-makers.
The anthology is a showcase of what, on its original release, was emergent talent, including Tai West, Ben Wheatley, Simon Rumley, Bruno Forzani & Hélène Cattet, Srdjan Spasojevic, Noburo Iguchi , Nacho Vigalondo, Adrián García Bogliano, Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, Marcel Sarmiento, Angela Bettis, Andrew Traucki, Thomas Cappelen Malling, Jorge Michel Grau, Yûdai Yamaguchi, Anders Morgenthaler, Timo Tjahjanto, Banjong Pisanthanakun, Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, Jake West, Lee Hardcastle, Kaare Andrews, Jon Schnepp, Xavier Gens, Jason Eisener, and Yoshihiro Nishimura.

BOX SET CONTENT:
DOBERMANN
European screen legends Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci star in DOBERMANN, a high-octane urban western based on the graphic novel by Joel Houssin.
He is a modern cowboy with roots in the French tradition of criminals. Without ideological motivation, the hero is pure adrenaline, invariably pursuing danger, wherever it might be. He leads a gang of maniacs known for their garish and efficient assaults on banks, in defiance to the capacity of the police. Directed by Jan Kounen.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Continuing her provocative and bold tradition, Catherine Breillat's FAT GIRL (À MA SOEUR!) is an unflinchingly harsh but powerful look at female adolescence.
Anaïs is twelve and bears the weight of the world on her shoulders. She watches her older sister, Elena, whom she both loves and hates. Elena is fifteen and devilishly beautiful. Neither more futile, nor more stupid than her younger sister, she cannot understand that she is merely an object of desire. And, as such, she can only be taken. Or had. Indeed, this is the subject: a girl's loss of virginity. And, that summer, it opens a door to tragedy. Directed by Catherine Breillat.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
A film to truly get under your skin, Marina de Van's IN MY SKIN (DANS MA PEAU) is a powerful, shocking rumination on the connection to one's own body, and life as a woman.
Esther's life is panning out nicely. She will soon move in with her boyfriend Vincent and she seems set to get a permanent position at the public relations company where she freelances. All would be fine if Esther didn't accidentally discover a piercing curiosity about her own body. How deep must she cut to discover the truth? Directed by Marina de Van.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
David is an independent American photographer in pursuit of unspoiled natural locations for an upcoming magazine photoshoot. Katia is his unemployed Russian girlfriend, who would follow him anywhere because she is in love. Their trip consists of passionate encounters and frequent fights, but this seemingly empty relationship takes a dark turn when a brutal incident abruptly ends their journey.
Written and Directed by Bruno Dumont (Flanders), TWENTYNINE PALMS combines French Extremity and American road movie genres to question not only what is on screen, but also the very nature of reality. Directed by Bruni Dumont.
