Former FBI agent Will Graham (William Petersen), who specialises in
catching serial killers, is brought out of early retirement to
track down a murderer who bludgeons entire families only when the
moon is full. Graham's tactic is to enter the mind of the deranged
criminal, which turns out to have an enormous emotional strain
attached. When he seeks advice from imprisoned
psychiatrist/psychopath Dr Lecter (Brian Cox), he ends up
endangering himself and his family. Based on the novel which was
the precursor to 'Silence of the Lambs'. The 18-minute bonus
feature 'Inside Manhunter' is also included.
Ti West writes and directs this supernatural chiller set in, and
inspired by the horror films of, the 1980s. When cash-strapped
college student Samantha Hughes (Jocelin Donahue) takes a
babysitting job in a remote country mansion, she soon senses that
something is not quite right. As a lunar eclipse darkens the sky
overhead, Samantha begins to realise that her employers (Tom Noonan
and Mary Woronov) intend to use her for something far more sinister
than mere childcare...
Double bill of horror films directed by Ti West. 'The Innkeepers'
(2011) is set in the Yankee Pedlar Inn, a run-down and supposedly
haunted hotel. With the inn set to close down owing to a lack of
business, two 20-something employees, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke
(Pat Healy), are left in charge for its final weekend. Eager to
prove the rumours of hauntings and paranormal phenomena, the pair
decide to set a camera rolling and set out in search of unusual
events. 'The House of the Devil' (2009) follows cash-strapped
college student Samantha Hughes (Jocelin Donahue), who takes a
babysitting job in a remote country mansion to make ends meet.
However, as a lunar eclipse darkens the sky overhead, Samantha
begins to realise that her employers (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov)
intend to use her for something far more sinister than childcare...
A triple bill of sci-fi cops. The first film, 'Robocop', is set in
the near future and Detroit's soaring crime rate is unsuccessfully
policed by a corporation which plans to build a new city, if its
workers can go about unmolested. When its new 'enforcement droid'
proves unworkable, a murdered cop (Peter Weller) is wired into a
computer-controlled titanium body and set to the task at hand.
Unimpressed, 'Robocop' seeks vengeance on all sides in this violent
but often funny tale. In the second film, 'Robocop 2', a new model,
Robocop 2 (Tom Noonan), is built while Robocop 1 still patrols the
streets of Detroit. Robocop 2 is given a maniac's 'soul', thereby
setting the stage for a showdown between the two computer
constables. Finally, in 'Robocop 3' Robocop is befriended by a
young girl whose parents have been killed, and after his partner is
killed by the head of a private security firm, he joins a group of
rebels to fight back against the evil businessmen. There is a
notable fight sequence between a plastic-like robot Ninja and the
sluggish metal Robocop, which, together with the rebels hiding out
in the derelict General Motors Factory, constitutes a thinly veiled
critique of the Japanese car industry from the heart of Detroit -
the original motor city.
