The Haunted Cop Shop [1987]
PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
DIRECTOR: Jeffrey Lau
WRITER: Wong Kar-Wai, Jeffrey Lau
PRINCIPAL CAST: Jacky Cheung, Kitty Chan, Ricky Hui
SYNOPSIS:
Before he became the darling of the arthouses, Wong Kar-wai (Chungking Express, In The Mood For Love) co-wrote this bawdy horror-comedy. It’s set in a police precinct that was previously a hang-out for Japanese soldiers during the war; the spirits of those who died there are restless, and looking for living victims. It’s up to slacker cops Jacky Cheung (Tiger Cage) and Ricky Hui (The Inspector Wears Skirts) to silence the unquiet dead once more.
Owing more to comedies like The Shadow Boxing and Mr. Vampire than anything Wong went on to make, The Haunted Cop Shop is nevertheless a lot of wicked fun, filled with the bad-taste humor that Hong Kong filmmakers do so well. Stylishly directed by Jeff Lau (The Eagle Shooting Heroes), this is a superior slice of supernatural silliness.

Danza Macabra Volume Five: The Spanish Gothic Collection
PHYSICAL MEDIA: Blu-ray
SYNOPSIS:
Severin Films returns to the cemeteries, catacombs and cobwebbed castles of Spanish cinema for an all-new exploration of gothic horror excellence.
5 DISC COLLECTION WITH 4 UNCUT GOTHIC HORROR CLASSICS AND 10+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
For Volume Five of this “essential Euro-Gothic series” (Mondo Digital), Severin Films returns to the cemeteries, catacombs and cobwebbed castles of Spanish cinema for an all-new exploration of gothic horror excellence: In the North American Disc Premiere of 1964’s STRANGE VOYAGE, director Fernando Fernán Gómez crafts a macabre true-crime shocker featuring a poignant performance by none other than Jess Franco. The disturbing 1971 drama EXORCISM’S DAUGHTER is presented in its complete U.S. Version – now featuring the infamous orgy sequence – as well as the original Spanish Version LAS MELANCÓLICAS, both on disc for the first time ever. THE DRACULA SAGA is 1973’s grisly reinvention of vampiric damnation from the legendary León Klimovsky, uncut in North America for the first time ever. And in 1985’s acclaimed THE TURN OF THE SCREW, controversial director Eloy de la Iglesia adapts Henry James’ classic novella with a startling psychosexual twist. Each film in this collection has been scanned from original camera negatives or archival 35mm prints, with 10+ combined hours of new audio commentaries, video essays, interview featurettes and more.
