Infernal Affairs Trilogy 4K Blu-ray

Special Features and Technical Specs:
DISC ONE - 4K BLU-RAY: INFERNAL AFFAIRS
Wasabi
When a hard-hitting French detective (Jean Reno, Leon: The Professional) is dropped into Tokyo for the funeral of his long-lost love, he brings fists, attitude, and zero patience. But in a city where nothing is what it seems, he'll need more than brute force to uncover the truth.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
When a group of friends finds themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere, they seek refuge at a peculiar roadside museum, only to discover that the museum's owner, the eccentric and unsettling Mr. Slausen is hiding a dark, twisted secret. As night falls, they find themselves trapped in a horrifying maze of strange mannequins and deadly traps.
What was meant to be a fun detour quickly becomes a fight for survival as the group's every move is monitored by the unhinged Mr. Slausen and his terrifying creations.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
From Director Sean Ellis (The Cut, Anthropoid), CASHBACK follows art student Ben Willis (Sean Biggerstaff), who finds himself unable to sleep after a painful breakup.
To pass the long nights, he takes a late shift at the local supermarket, where time seems to stretch endlessly. Amid fluorescent aisles and eccentric coworkers, Ben discovers an unusual way of coping with insomnia by letting his imagination transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Time flies, but the good news is that you're the pilot.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Step into the shadowy side of Aotearoa with three unforgettable films that reveal a country as unsettling as it is beautiful. From the rural gothic chills of THE SCARECROW (1982), to the twisted psychological horror of JACK BE NIMBLE (1993), and the cultural reckoning of THE CROOKED EARTH (2001) THE SCARECROW (1982)
A haunting blend of gothic melodrama, psychological thriller, and coming-of-age tale, THE SCARECROW is one of New Zealand's most acclaimed films, based on the classic novel by Ronald Hugh Morrison.
When 14-year-old Ned wakes to find his chickens stolen, a seemingly minor mystery spirals into something far darker. Hundreds of miles away, a teenage girl is found murdered, and the trail leads to Hubert Salter: magician, predator, and killer. His twisted obsession? Ned's sister, Prudence. As evil closes in, Ned and Prudence must confront the truth no one else dares to see in a town that would rather look away.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Abandoned as children and raised apart, Jack (Alexis Arquette) and Dora (Sarah Smuts-Kennedy) are siblings bound by a psychic connection, and a haunting past.
Dora, gifted with telepathy, searches for Jack, who has escaped from years of abuse at the hands of his adoptive parents. But Jack is no longer the boy he once was. Tormented and vengeful, he's on a path of destruction, pursued by the monstrous foster sisters who want him back. As the siblings race to reunite, their reunion will unleash forces both human and supernatural, in a world where innocence is lost, and monsters wear many faces. A cult classic of New Zealand gothic cinema, JACK BE NIMBLE is a twisted, emotionally charged journey into the heart of darkness.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
When Will Bastion (Temuera Morrison) returns home to bury his father, a respected Maori chief, he's drawn into a community on the brink of upheaval. His brother Kahu (Lawrence Makoare) has claimed leadership, stirring unrest with radical ideas and a dangerous vision for the future. As ancient customs clash with modern struggles, Will must decide where he stands; between tradition and change, family and justice.
In a land divided, leadership comes at a price, and peace is far from guaranteed. CROOKED EARTH is a gripping exploration of cultural conflict, legacy, and the fight for a people's soul, set against the stunning backdrop of Aotearoa. Directed by Sam Pillsbury, Garth Maxwell
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Follow Tromaville's mop-wielding mutant hero as he dishes out grotesque gags, gory justice, and eco-friendly mayhem across generations. Overflowing with outrageous humor, splatter-packed action, and cult energy, this is the definitive celebration of cinema's most hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength, back and badder than ever!
