A spectacular wuxia martial arts epic filled with occult secrets and sword play, but told entirely with Taiwanese budaixi glove puppets! LEGEND OF THE SACRED STONE (SHENG SHI CHUAN SHUO) - 2000, Pili International Multimedia, 99 min. Dir. Chris Huang. If you've ever dreamed of seeing a wuxia martial arts epic filled with occult secrets and black magic spells, incredibly choreographed sword fights with spinning / flying / leaping combatants, hidden tombs, lakes of fire, the eternal battle between darkness and light - but told entirely with puppets - then your wait is over! LEGEND OF THE SACRED STONE is based on the tremendously popular Taiwanese TV show "PILI" launched in 1984 that uses traditional Chinese budaixi glove puppetry to tell amazingly elaborate wuxia stories packed with nonstop action and swordplay. An equal mix of classic Shaw Brothers martial arts movies, THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO, TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, and Jim Henson's beloved THE DARK CRYSTAL, LEGEND revolves around a group of warriors of Wulin led by white-maned hero Su Huan-Jen trying to prevent Mo Kuei and his spectral assassins called "The Unkind" from gaining possession of the all-powerful Sacred Stone. The Unkind in particular are a riot with their screechy Skeksis-like voices and unexpected sense of humor: "We're the most handsome men in the world!" one chortles. Along the way you get treated to martial arts moves like Aeolian Surprise, Thunder Bars, heroes riding a flying sword like the Silver Surfer, living corpses with melting flesh - oh, and if you've ever wondered how a puppet bleeds, you'll see that too. (And keep an eye out for the second Pili feature DEMIGOD: THE LEGEND BEGINS coming out through Deaf Crocodile later in 2026!) In Taiwanese Hokkien with English subtitles.

American screenwriter Dan Gillis (Jeff Goldblum), based in Paris and reeling from a recent separation, receives a commission from producer Julien Legrand (Daniel Ceccaldi) to collaborate with ambitious young director Malcolm Greene (Dexter Fletcher). But as Dan becomes entangled with Malcolm's sister Jenny (Liza Walker), his agent Marilyn (Miranda Richardson) and the project's bizarre erotic screenplay, his life unravels in a web of manipulation, incestuous secrets, and dangerous deception.

Y: Marshals expands the Yellowstone universe with a gritty neo-Western procedural set in modern-day Montana. Following the explosive conclusion of Yellowstone, Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) leaves ranch life behind to join an elite unit of U.S. Marshals. Combining his skills as a cowboy and former Navy SEAL, Kayce becomes part of a specialized team tasked with bringing “range justice” to a region plagued by escalating violence, organized crime, and deep-rooted corruption. The series explores Kayce’s struggle to balance family obligations with the psychological toll of law enforcement. As he adapts to his new role, Kayce faces threats from gangs, cartels, and extremist groups, all while navigating the moral gray areas of frontier justice. His team includes seasoned operatives and ambitious newcomers, each with their own secrets and motivations. Together, they confront high-stakes cases that test their loyalty, resilience, and sense of duty. Season 1 unfolds across 13 episodes, blending intense action sequences with character-driven drama. From tense standoffs in remote ranchlands to undercover operations in small towns, the show captures the rugged beauty and peril of Big Sky Country. Returning Yellowstone characters like Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), Mo (Mo Brings Plenty), and Tate Dutton (Brecken Merrill) deepen the narrative ties, while new faces—played by Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Logan Marshall-Green, and Brett Cullen—add fresh dynamics to the ensemble. Created by Taylor Sheridan, Spencer Hudnut, and David C. Glasser, Y: Marshals combines the authenticity of Sheridan’s storytelling with the procedural intensity Hudnut honed on SEAL Team. Executive producers include Sheridan, Hudnut, Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, and Luke Grimes, ensuring the series maintains the cinematic scope and emotional depth fans expect from the Yellowstone franchise. At its core, Y: Marshals is about identity, sacrifice, and the cost of justice in a land where the line between law and survival is razor-thin. It’s a gripping new chapter that honors Yellowstone’s legacy while carving its own path through the untamed American West.

Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. In Boston, a young female teacher’s aide is found decapitated in a playground, her head discarded in a nearby bucket. Bearing striking similarities to a murder that took place the week before, Harvard-educated Lieutenant Judd Austin is brought onto the case, who quickly establishes that the latest victim had been enrolled in evening classes at Wendell College, a local girls' school. As suspicions fall on anthropology professor Vincent Millett — whose extra-curricular liaisons with his students are well-known — the black motorcycle helmet-wearing, Gurkha blade-wielding killer strikes again and again, each time decapitating a young woman connected with the school and disposing of the head in water. Can Lieutenant Austin unmask the maniac before the entire female student body loses their heads? A superlative slasher hailing from the golden age of the slice-and-dice boom, 1981’s NIGHT SCHOOL was the final film from celebrated English director Ken Hughes (Casino Royale, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), and the feature debut of Golden Globe-nominated actress Rachel Ward (The Final Terror, Fortress). Boasting cinematography from David Cronenberg regular Mark Irwin (Videodrome, The Fly) and a score by Brad Fiedel (The Terminator, Fright Night), NIGHT SCHOOL was branded a “video nasty” in the UK and censored due to its scenes of shocking violence.

Season 3 of Reacher plunges Jack Reacher into one of his most dangerous missions yet. Based on Lee Child’s seventh novel, Persuader, the season opens in coastal Maine, where Reacher thwarts a kidnapping attempt on college student Richard Beck. What seems like a random act of heroism quickly spirals into a covert operation involving the DEA, a ruthless smuggling ring, and a personal vendetta that drags Reacher back into the shadows of his military past. Reacher agrees to go undercover for DEA agent Susan Duffy, posing as the bodyguard for Richard Beck to infiltrate the criminal empire of Zachary Beck—a businessman with ties to narcotics trafficking. The stakes rise when Reacher learns that Lieutenant Colonel Francis Xavier Quinn, a nemesis from his Army days, is connected to Beck’s operation. Reacher’s mission is twofold: rescue a missing DEA agent, Teresa Daniels, and settle unfinished business with Quinn, all while maintaining his cover in a world of deception and violence. The season’s eight episodes deliver a relentless mix of action, suspense, and psychological tension. From high-octane shootouts and brutal hand-to-hand combat to intricate mind games, Reacher navigates a treacherous landscape where every ally could be a traitor. Alongside returning favorite Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), Reacher faces moral dilemmas that test his code of justice: how far will he go for revenge without compromising his mission? Visually gritty and narratively taut, Season 3 expands the scope of the series with new locations and layered storytelling. Alan Ritchson’s commanding performance anchors the drama, supported by Sonya Cassidy as the determined DEA agent, Anthony Michael Hall as the enigmatic Zachary Beck, and Brian Tee as a soldier with secrets of his own.

Rival 16th-century ninja clans battle for possession of a gold cache. Before starring in John Wick: Chapter 4 and Shogun, Hiroyuki Sanada got to showcase his physical prowess in his first lead role with 1980's Shogun's Ninja, a madcap martial arts caper energetically directed by Norifumi Suzuki (Wandering Ginza Butterfly) and co-starring Sanada's mentor, the legendary Sonny Chiba. During the Warring States period, a lone man on a small boat approaches the shores of Japan. His name is Takamaru Momochi, heir to the Iga clan, returning after ten years of hiding in China and fully intent on finding the ruthless ninja Shiranui (Chiba), the man who betrayed and murdered his father. But with Shiranui and his thugs now in control of the country, Takamaru must gather the scattered remnants of his clan and train in the shadowy art of ninjutsu so they can mount a guerrilla resistance, defeat the corrupt ninja and restore the Iga's honor.

Description

Twelve years after a doomed scientific expedition uncovers something prehistoric beneath the frozen earth, a quiet snowbound town finds itself under siege by a creature long thought to be nothing more than a myth. Following a series of brutal attacks, the terrifying truth emerges: an ancient predator has awakened, hunting from beneath the snow. A small group of locals, scientists, and hunters band together to confront the impossible, hunting a shark creature that strikes without warning, dragging its victims into the icy depths. Working with a microbudget but unlimited DIY heart, writer-director Sam Qualiana crafts a monster movie that embraces its practical effects, hometown charm, and the enduring appeal of creature features. Emerging at the front end of the modern sharksploitation wave, SNOW SHARK: ANCIENT SNOW BEAST stands as one of the earliest low-budget entries to reimagine the shark film outside its natural Hollywood habitat, pushing the sub-genre into absurd, snowbound territory with clever and unapologetic ambition. 15 years since its initial release, SNOW SHARK remains a stellar example of scrappy, grassroots regional filmmaking.

Meet “The Wolfpack,” a gang of smug, hard-partying predator bros who spend their nights drugging women and bragging about their conquests. But their reign of non-consensual sleaze comes to a brutal end when a masked maniac from their past resurfaces… and starts settling the score in the most painful and humiliating way possible. One by one, the hunters become the hunted as the mysterious killer delivers a twisted, poetic justice and turning them inside out. Sporting a grotesque ass mask and the strap on from hell, the Sodomaniac tears through the pack in a barrage of depraved, over-the-top carnage and vengeance that pushes all slasher tropes to their outrageous extremes. But beneath the in your face, punk rock surface, SODOMANIAC operates as a raw piece of outsider horror—reflecting the street level ethos of microbudget filmmaking while channeling a grim sense of morality and justice. Directed by music video veteran Anthony Catanese, the film stands as a confrontational artifact of underground cinema, where provocation and dark humor intersect with a distinctly regional, do it yourself sensibility. Equal parts abrasive, offensive and audacious, it remains a striking example of revenge horror pushed to its most uncompromising limits.

50,000,000 juvenile delinquents can't be wrong! Featuring four rumble-ready features (all preserved from the Something Weird DigiBeta and S-VHS masters, as the original film elements are lost, decayed, or inaccessible), TEENAGE RIOT VIDEO PARTY is a campy ode to mid-century teenage turmoil. Remember: "This will affect every parent and teen in the entire world . . . because it's real!" LOST, LONELY, AND VICIOUS (1958, 72 mins, B&W) Filmed in the wake of James Dean’s death, this noir-ish slice of Dean-spolitation is the best movie about Hollywood ever made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. JACKTOWN (1962, 58 mins, B&W) Feeling like a gaudy juvenile delinquent paperback come-to-life, this teen prison expose was filmed on the sleazy streets of Michigan and features a role from Patty McCormack (THE BAD SEED). THE FLAMING TEEN-AGE (1956, 69 mins, B&W) Jesus (kind of) saves in this "true story" about drugs and salvation from Irvin S. Yeaworth, a maker of 16mm religious shorts who would later direct THE BLOB. THE NARCOTIC STORY (1958, 78 mins, Color) This outrageous amalgam of classroom scare films and nasty exploitation was produced by a company called Police Science—so you know it's legit.

An unclassifiable animated odyssey from the director of Heavy Metal. A group of monkeys, including a director loosely inspired by Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider persona, struggle through various trials and tribulations while making an epic adventure film in this psychedelic and satirical look at the Hollywood counterculture of the early ’70s. Directed by celebrated animator Gerald Potterton – who earned multiple Oscar nominations for his work at the National Film Board of Canada, contributed to Yellow Submarine, and later directed Heavy Metal – this is an outrageous and inspired feat of cinematic imagination. An unlikely hybrid of analogue animation and live action Soviet fantasy film, TIKI TIKI repurposes extended passages from Rolan Bykov’s eye-popping 1967 phantasmagoria Aybolit-66 as the film within the film, employing irreverent comic dubbing and cutting to subvert the original intent. The result puzzled and thrilled ’70s audiences in equal measure and turned heads by winning Mosfilm art director Aleksandr Kuznetsov a Canadian Film Award. An unapologetically eccentric experience that has earned comparisons to H.C. Potter’s Hellzapoppin', TIKI TIKI remains one of the most sought-after animated enigmas of its era. Bonus Features: 1. Newly scanned and restored in 4K from the original 35mm A/B negatives by Canadian International Pictures with sound transferred from the three-track master mix 2. New audio commentary featuring Paul Corupe of Canuxploitation.com and film historian Jason Pichonsky 3. New interview with producer Murray Shostak 4. New interview with animator Paul Driessen 6. Fantasia Q&A (2024, 15 min.) – Shostak and film historian Chris Seguin at the Fantasia International Film Festival 7. Potterton Productions demo reel (1972, 23 min.) 8. Five short films directed by Potterton: Super Bus (1969, 6 min.), The Remarkable Rocket (1975, 25 min.), Canada Vignettes: Winter - Starting the Car (1979, 2 min.), Canada Vignettes: Winter - Dressing Up (1979, 1 min.), and George and the Christmas Star (1985, 24 min.) 9. Making Movie History: Gerald Potterton (2014, 5 min.) – The filmmaker reflects on his early years at the National Film Board of Canada 10. Three NFB short films with animation by Potterton: Huff and Puff (1955, 7 min.), Fish Spoilage Control (1956, 9 min.), and It’s a Crime (1957, 13 min.) 11. Original theatrical trailer 12.

Few filmmakers epitomize the aesthetics of vintage Times Square cinema better than Michael Findlay. Often collaborating with his wife Roberta who served as cinematographer and occasional actor alongside him, the couple created sick and sordid classics which still retain their power to shock. Released at the end of their '60s streak of unforgettable roughies which included the notorious Flesh Trilogy, this set of sleaze classics have been newly restored in 4K from their original camera negatives by Distribpix + Something Weird, replete with in-depth extras including a fresh conversation with Roberta Findlay herself! Michael Findlay plays Richard Davis in A THOUSAND PLEASURES, where, fresh from murdering his wife, he gets caught disposing of her corpse and is promptly abducted to a remote seaside house by a group of man-hating lesbians. Forced into becoming their slave, Richard is soon subjected to all manner of depravity and torture, the likes of which he never even imagined. Uta Erickson winds up in rural Vermont looking for sexual kicks in THE ULTIMATE DEGENERATE, as she comes under the control of Michael Findlay playing a ruthless, insatiable sadist. With the help of his servant Bruno, he keeps a pack of women around the house acting out exceedingly stranger, more lurid kinks. This sexual trap seems to offer no release, but what does the degenerate really desire? Bonus Features: 1. Region Free Blu-ray 2. Newly scanned and restored in 4K from original camera negatives 3. Commentary tracks for both films with film historian Casey Scott and Findlay expert Neil Martinson 4. A never-before-seen sequence deleted from the original negative 5.
