  • SYNOPSIS:
  • BANNED FOR A DECADE!

Nightmare Symphony [2020]

  • Blu-ray
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Frank LaLoggia, Domiziano Cristopharo
  • DIRECTOR: Daniele Trani
  • SYNOPSIS: Frank is a stressed-out director, trying to complete a seemingly doomed horror film called A Peacock’s Tale. Between ongoing arguments with the scriptwriter and producer, Frank faces his own existential crisis and is plagued by terrible nightmares and paranoia. Life begins to imitate art, it seems, when those involved in the film production are butchered by a mysterious masked figure. Can Frank still differentiate between reality and the brutal killings that are based on the movie’s script? Nightmare Symphony is a loving tribute to the films of Lucio Fulci and the Italian Giallo. Starring Lady In White’s Frank LaLoggia, written by Antonio Tentori (Fulci’s Cat in the Brain) and directed by extremists Domiziano Cristopharo and Daniele Trani, this “elegant, stylish and sadistic” horror-thriller also features an amazing soundtrack by Antony Coia and is enhanced by Fabio Frizzi’s original theme of terror.

Creature From Black Lake

Blu-ray

PRINCIPAL CAST: Jack Elam, Dennis Fimple, John David Carson, Dub Taylor

DIRECTOR: Joy Houck, Jr.

SYNOPSIS: There’s a hairy humanoid beast lurking in the Louisiana swamps, but only trapper Joe Canton (Jack Elam, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST) has seen it and lived to tell the tale, and the other residents of Oil City, Louisiana don’t talk about it. But that’s not about to stop intrepid grad students Pahoo (Dennis Fimple, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES) and Rives (John David Carson, EMPIRE OF THE ANTS), who are determined to track down the Bigfoot-like creature. Defying local sheriff Billy Carter (Bill Thurman, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW), the duo trek deep into the wilds of Black Lake, and a series of frightening encounters make it clear the monster is no mere legend. Following in the (big) footsteps of THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK and similar docudramas, 1976’s CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE is a fictional Sasquatch saga, albeit one inspired by real reports. With a colorful cast, also including Dub Taylor (THE WILD BUNCH), and plenty of rural atmosphere courtesy of cinematographer Dean Cundey (HALLOWEEN, JURASSIC PARK), scripter Jim McCullough Jr.-who also co-stars-and director Joy Houck Jr. Bring touches of humor and humanity that complement the mystery of the monster, and the terror of its attacks. A longtime late-night TV favorite, CREATURE FROM BLACK LAKE now roars onto its Blu-ray debut with a new 4K restoration and a boatload of special features!
