Patrick

: Just as Mark ( Not Quite Hollywood) Hartley’s highly anticipated remake hits US theaters, Richard Franklin’s original Ozploitation classic is back…now in stunning HD. A comatose killer is seemingly unresponsive in a small private hospital. But, when a hot new nurse begins to question his condition, Patrick will unleash a waking nightmare of psychokinetic carnage. Loaded with extras including a recently discovered vintage interview with Franklin & the 'never before available in America' Italian track with soundtrack by Goblin ( Suspiria, Dawn of the Dead).

Dead Kids

: Fangoria called it “One of the best horror movies you’ve never seen." Michael Murphy ( Manhattan), Dan Shor ( Wise Blood) and Academy Award® winner Louise Fletcher ( One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) star in this grisly saga of bizarre experiments, butchered teens, New Zealand doubling for suburban Illinois, and a killer in a Tor Johnson mask. This cult favorite – released in America as Strange Behavior – features a hypnotic score by Tangerine Dream, co-written by the Oscar®-winning director of Chicago, directed by the producer of Two Lane Blacktop, now loaded with Extras and transferred in HD from the original negative for the first time ever.



Quote:

Thirst

: One of the most unique vampire movies of our time – is back like you’ve never seen it before. David Hemmings ( Blow-Up, Deep Red) and Henry Silva ( The Manchurian Candidate) star as executives of an international blood-drinking cartel known as ‘The Brotherhood.' But when they abduct a descendant of Elizabeth Bathory to reboot her depraved legacy, she must escape before the corporation can expand their human ‘blood cow’ dairies and create a vampire master race. Now transferred in HD from the original negative for the first time ever anywhere!
