Product Description THE LEGENDARY SHAW BROTHERS GRISLY TAKE ON THE SERIAL KILLER GENRE IN THEIR INIMITABLE HONG KONG STYLE! Though featuring the Shaw Brothers custom brand of martial arts mayhem, HUMAN LANTERNS also taps into the early 80s craze for the American slasher film and the earlier Hammer horrors by providing a grisly take on the serial killer feature in an inimitable Hong Kong style. When an unbalanced craftsman decides to get revenge on two Kung Fu masters by creating special lanterns constructed from the human skin of their dead relatives, all hell breaks loose in this gruesome tale of bloody retribution. Taking its inspiration from movies like Psycho and real cases like Ed Gein, HUMAN LANTERNS is clearly not for the faint-hearted with its over the top gore and sadistic qualities but this slice of darker than dark fantasy still manages to be both wonderfully horrible and impressively entertaining. SPECIAL FEATURES: High Definition (1080p) Presentation in 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio 2.0 DTS-HD MA Mandarin Soundtrack with newly translated English Subtitles Audio commentary by Kenneth Brorsson and Phil Gillon of the Podcast On Fire Network A Shaw Story - an Interview with Susan Shaw The Beauty and the Beasts - An Interview with Linda Chu Lau Wing - The Ambiguous Hero Original Trailer Review Human Lanterns has got enough action, chaos and carnage to make it worth a look. --Ian Jane, Rock!

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. Equally wealthy Master Tan and Master Lung are both competing to be honored at the upcoming festival of lanterns. When Tan presents Lung with his ornately crafted lantern, Lung realizes that to best his rival, he must create an even more beautiful lantern. Lung engages the strange craftsman Chao Fang, imploring him to create the most sensational lantern ever seen. Fang agrees on the condition that his work be conducted in complete secrecy. Soon, panic sets in throughout the region as beautiful young women start to go missing, their skinned corpses discovered thereafter. Is Chao Fang, in fact, a deranged maniac, or has an even more diabolical plot been put into effect? A cornerstone film in the Shaw Brothers’ unique approach in combining traditional wuxia and kung-fu filmmaking tropes with incredibly bloody, weird, and stylish 1980s horror, prolific director Chung Sun’s (Revenge of the Corpse) notorious 1982 shocker HUMAN LANTERNS takes grisly brutality to new heights as its squirm-inducing ‘skin peeling’ sequences still have the power to shock more than 40 years later. Starring action superstars Tony Liu (The Way of the Dragon), Chen Kuan-Tai (The Man with the Iron Fists), and Lo Lieh (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin) and featuring stunningly colorful scope photography by An-Sung Tsao (Sex Beyond the Grave), Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to bring this one-of-a-kind thriller to 4K UHD, newly and exclusively restored from its original camera negative and presented in its longest and most complete version ever on video, including extended gore sequences never before available on disc, along with a never-on-video alternate ending present only in the Cantonese export version!

From acclaimed filmmaker Philip Kaufman (The Wanderers) comes this chilling ’70s adaptation of Jack Finney’s classic novel The Body Snatchers. Filmy spores fall from space over San Francisco, and the city blossoms with beautiful new flora. People take the flowers home and, as they sleep, the plants creep over them, devouring their bodies and stealing their identities—their emotions, their uniqueness, their souls. If you notice an eerie change in someone very close to you, chances are you’re next! More than just a highly effective sci-fi thriller, Invasion of the Body Snatchers treats contemporary problems of urban paranoia and loss of individuality with intelligence and sensitivity... and ends with the single most horrifying frame in movies. Featuring a brilliant screenplay by W.D. Richter (Big Trouble in Little China), gritty camerawork by Michael Chapman (Raging Bull) and awe-inspiring special effects, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a pulse-pounding shocker with wonderful performances by Donald Sutherland (The Puppet Masters), Brooke Adams (The Dead Zone), Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), Jeff Goldblum (The Fly) and Veronica Cartwright (Alien).

Product Description Spirits lurk everywhere in Ann (Boat People) Hui's horror-comedy, Visible Secret. Instantly infatuated by enigmatic amnesiac June (Shu Qi, Millennium Mambo) who has the ability to see spirits, Peter is swept into a world where he has one foot in the past, one in the present, and somehow has to figure out which is which. Beautifully shot by legendary cinematographer Arthur Wong (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Iron Monkey), Visible Secret is a slick and sexy horror-comedy that reflects the region's contemporary millennium-era moment in its vivid depiction of young people stranded in history, trying to get a handle on both the world around them and each other as they navigate life, love, identity and family. SPECIAL FEATURES: High-Definition digital transfer Original 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound New conversation between Ann Hui and NYAFF director Ken Smith who was also on set for the original shoot (2023) New visual essay by critic and programmer Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (2023) Archival making-of documentary featuring interviews with the cast and crew and behind-the-scenes footage, (2001, 14 mins) Trailer New and improved English subtitle translation by Dylan Cheung Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Limited edition booklet featuring new writing on the film and its place in the horror genre by Hong Kong Horror Cinema co-editor Gary Bettinson Single pressing of 5000 copies for UK and US, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings *Single Pressing: Unlike our limited editions a single pressing will not be re-issued as a standard edition, this is the only pressing made and will be deleted once sold out. Single pressing releases are made available under special circumstances of our license agreements. Review Assembled with obvious care, Visible Secret is an impressive piece of work. Ann Hui's typically assured direction is strong on humour, water imagery and Alfred Hitchcock references. --Daniel O'Brien, Spooky Encounters: A Gwailo’s Guide to Hong Kong Horror A breathtakingly shot film, filled to the brim with striking imagery. --Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Vulture A polished, mature genre-bending horror from Ann Hui. The film doesn't go for cheap thrills, and instead focuses on the characters' obsessions and fantasies... Hui comes back to what made her so influential. --Ross Chen, LoveHKFilm.com Top Similar From the Brand Reviews Visible Secret
