Subspecies V: Blood Rise [2023]

  • Blu-ray/DVD
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Kevin Spirtas, Denice Duff, Anders Hove
  • DIRECTOR: Ted Nicolaou
  • SYNOPSIS: The vampire Radu (Anders Hove) is back in director Ted Nicolaou’s epic prequel SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE, a dark thriller that follows Radu’s descent from a noble warrior of the Church to a depraved, blood-hungry creature of the night! Stolen by crusaders on the night of his birth from his demon mother and vampire father, Radu grows up with no knowledge of his monstrous bloodline. Trained and exploited by a brotherhood of mystic monks to slay all enemies of the church, fate brings him back one night to his father’s castle, armed with the monster-slaying Sword of Laertes, to destroy the vampire Vladislas and reclaim a holy relic, the Bloodstone. The horrifying events that unfold turn Radu from an honorable man into a vampire with no master, setting him on a centuries-long quest for sustenance, for companionship, for the treacherous one who stole him from the sun, and for the Bloodstone he hopes will bring him peace. Filmed in Serbia in and around authentic castles and ruins and featuring original series star Denice Duff in a surprising role, this sensual, violent, and operatic exploration of evil marks a stunning return for one of the screen’s most beloved bloodsuckers.

Invaders from Mars [1953]

  • Blu-ray
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Jimmy Hunt, Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Morris Ankrum
  • DIRECTOR: William Cameron Menzies
  • SYNOPSIS:
  • FROM OUT OF SPACE… CAME HORDES OF GREEN MONSTERS!!
  • In the early 1950s, Cold War tensions and the burgeoning space race created a heady mix of paranoia and unbridled creativity as filmmakers speculated as to the marvels – and horrors – that lay beyond the stars. Among those leading the charge, William Cameron Menzies’ (Things to Come) Invaders from Mars terrified audiences upon its release in 1953 with its chilling vision of an insidious alien attack on small-town Americana.
  • On a dark and stormy night, a young boy, David McLean (Jimmy Hunt, Pitfall), observes what appears to be a flying saucer crash-landing in his town. Shortly thereafter, the grown-ups – including his own parents – begin acting decidedly strangely. Convinced there’s a link between this epidemic of bizarre behavior and what he witnessed that night, David turns to local health official Dr. Blake (Helena Carter, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye) for help. But can these two unlikely heroes, together with famed astronomer Dr. Kelston (Arthur Franz, The Caine Mutiny), withstand the might of a full-blown invasion from outer space?
  • A landmark in sci-fi cinema, Invaders from Mars inspired filmmakers as wide-ranging as Don Coscarelli (Phantasm), Brad Bird (The Iron Giant) and John Carpenter (The Thing). Now fully restored for its 70th anniversary, this trend-setting Atom Age classic unleashes its spine-tingling terror on a whole new generation of filmgoers in this brand new 4K presentation from Ignite Films!
  • SPECIAL FEATURES:
    • Restored 4K original 1953 trailer and a newly commissioned trailer 2022
    • Interviews with star Jimmy Hunt, William Cameron Menzies’ biographer James Curtis and recollections of Menzies’ eldest granddaughter Pamela Lauesen

    • John Sayles’ introduction at Turner Classic Movies Festival in Hollywood, April 2022
    • Before/after clips of restoration – original negative and archival film elements – with film restoration supervisor Scott MacQueen
