TRAPPED ASHES, 2006, 105 min. In the twisted tradition of classic anthology horror films such as TALES FROM THE CRYPT, CREEPSHOW and BLACK SABBATH, TRAPPED ASHES features stories of the surreal, macabre and bizarre, helmed by five of Hollywood's most unique directors: Joe Dante (GREMLINS, THE HOWLING), Ken Russell (ALTERED STATES, THE DEVILS), Monte Hellman (TWO-LANE BLACKTOP), Sean Cunningham (FRIDAY the 13th), and John Gaeta (Academy Award winner, Visual Effects on THE MATRIX) - and produced & written by Deaf Crocodile's own Dennis Bartok! Seven strangers (including legendary character actors John Saxon and Henry Gibson) are trapped inside an infamous Roger Corman/AIP-style House of Horrors during a Hollywood movie studio tour and forced to confess their most disturbing personal memories. In Ken Russell's The Girl with Golden Breasts, a struggling actress (Rachel Veltri) decides to get gel implants made from reprocessed human cadavers - with monstrous results for her and her boyfriend (Jayce Bartok). In Sean Cunningham's Jibaku, an unhappily married woman (Lara Harris) and her architect husband (Scott Lowell) have a nightmarish encounter with a dead monk on a visit to Japan. In Monte Hellman's Stanley's Girlfriend (Official Selection, 2006 Cannes Film Festival), two ambitious young filmmakers become unlikely friends in 1950s Hollywood: Leo (Tahmoh Penikett), writer of sadistic B-pictures like The Strangler, and a soon-to-be-famous director named Stanley Kubrick (Tygh Runyan). When they both fall in love with the same enigmatic woman (Amelia Cooke), it unleashes a decades-long mystery involving desire and celluloid. And in John Gaeta's My Twin, The Worm, a young Goth woman (Michele-Barbara Pelletier) reveals the horrific, Cronenberg-like tale of the inhuman twin that grew alongside her in her mother's womb. Newly scanned and restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile.
