Australian label Umbrella Entertainment has revealed its April batch of releases. They are: Naked Weapon (2002), Tell No One (2006), District 13: 2 Film Collection (2004-2009), Universal Horror: Monsters And Curiosities (1925-1963), Shadow Wars: The Elusive Kinji Fukasaku Collection (1973-1975).
Naked Weapon
When dozens of young women mysteriously vanish across the world, rumours spread about a covert organisation that reshapes kidnapped girls into elite assassins; perfectly trained, ruthlessly efficient, and crafted to serve someone else's agenda. Among them is Charlene (Maggie Q, Divergent), whose transformation from ordinary teenager to lethal operative draws the attention of a determined CIA agent searching for the truth behind the disappearances.
As Charlene grapples with a world built on exploitation, control, and forced power, she begins to carve out her own identity within the machine designed to erase it. Her journey becomes not just one of survival, but of reclaiming agency.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Eight years after the brutal murder of his wife Margot (Marie-Josée Croze), pediatrician Alexandre Beck (François Cluzet) is still haunted by the life they lost together. When two bodies surface near the original crime scene, the police reopen the investigation, and Alex suddenly finds himself back in their crosshairs. But the past is about to twist in ways no one expects. An anonymous e-mail. A single, chilling clip. A woman who looks unmistakably like Margot, and a warning: Tell No One.
As Alex is thrust into a deadly maze of secrets, lies, and long-buried conspiracies, he must outrun both the law and the shadows pursuing him. What if the truth isn't dead… and neither is she?
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Behind Paris's fortified walls lies District 13, a sealed-off world of fractured alliances, brutal survival, and lawless rule. When danger inside the district threatens to ignite into full-scale chaos, two men - one from the streets, one from the state - are forced into an uneasy partnership, racing across rooftops and through crumbling towers to stop catastrophe before it spills beyond the walls.
Special Features and Technical Specs:

Shadow Wars: The Elusive Kinji Fukasaku Collection
From the master of postwar chaos comes a blistering triptych of crime, corruption, and collapse.
After the success of Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973–74), Fukasaku continued to refine his "jitsuroku" (true record) approach; a semi-documentary style of yakuza film inspired by real events, police files, and newspaper reportage.
These three titles, COPS VS THUGS, CROSS THE RUBICON!, and HOKURIKU PROXY WAR, all extend that gritty realism: handheld camerawork, frenetic editing, overlapping dialogue, and moral murk. They turn away from romanticized gangsters toward a chaotic, corrupt Japan of the 1960s-70s where cops, crooks, and politicians are virtually indistinguishable.
