List Price: $24.98

Calm office worker Anthony, son of an American father and a Japanese mother, lives in Tokyo with his wife Yuriko and their little son Tom. Since Anthony's mother died of cancer, his scientist father has been overly fearful for their health and rigidly subjects Anthony and Tom to monthly physicals. Walking home, Tom is killed in a hit and run before Anthony's eyes. Losing their boy pushes Yuriko over the edge and triggers violent emotions in Anthony, whose body begins to transform. Little by little, his cells turn into iron. When the driver who killed Tom reappears and Anthony learns the truth about his father's past experiments on human guinea pigs and about his mother's death, Anthony mutates into a mass of metal -- a human weapon fuelled by an uncontrollable rage.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man

List Price: $19.99

Shinya Tsukamoto draws on the marriage of flesh and technology that inspires so much of David Cronenberg's work and then twists it into a manga-influenced cyberpunk vision. A man (Tomoroh Taguchi) awakens from a nightmare in which his body is helplessly fusing with the metal objects around him, only to find it happening to him in real life... or is it? Haunted by memories of a hit and run (eerily prophetic of Cronenberg's Crash), the man knows this ordeal could be a dream, a fantastic form of divine retribution, or perhaps technological mutation born of guilt and rage. Shot in bracing black and white on a small budget, Tsukamoto puts a demented conceptual twist on good old-fashioned stop-motion effects and simple wire work, giving his film the surreal quality of a waking dream with a psychosexual edge (resulting in the film's most disturbing scene). The story ultimately takes on an abstract quality enhanced by the grungy look and increasingly wild images as they take to the streets in a mad chase of technological speed demons.

Best Worst Movie

$11.99

List Price: $19.95

BEST WORST MOVIE is an affectionate and intoxicatingly fun tribute to the single greatest bad movie ever made and the people responsible for unleashing it on the world. In 1989, a group of unknown Utah actors starred in what would be crowned the worst movie of all time: TROLL 2. After two decades of running from this cinematic disaster, the cast can no longer hide from the legion of followers that celebrate them for their ineptitude. BEST WORST MOVIE, directed by Troll 2 s once-disgraced child star, Michael Paul Stephenson, unravels the improbable story of a sunny, small-town Alabama dentist-turned-cult-movie-icon and a self-deluded Italian filmmaker who struggles to come to grips with his internationally revered cinematic failure. The result is a hilarious and tender offbeat journey that pays homage to lovers of bad movies and the people who make them, while investigating a deeper story abut the strange nature of celebrity, the catharsis of redemption and the humanity that exists in making even the worst movie ever made.

List Price: $26.98

When a massive power outage decimates the population, a small handful of people band together inside a deserted tavern in a desperate struggle to survive. VANISHING ON 7TH STREET, an apocalyptic thriller from director Brad Anderson (SESSION 9, TRANSSIBERIAN, THE MACHINIST), wrestles with the nature of existence itself in a terrifying vision of the end of the world. An unexplained blackout descends on the city of Detroit and by the time the sun rises, only a few people remain -- surrounded by heaps of empty clothing, abandoned cars and lengthening shadows. Luke a television reporter finds the streets outside his apartment building eerily empty. Paul, a film projectionist is alone in a once crowded theater. Physical therapist Rosemary steps out for a smoke and returns to a deserted hospital, and James, a frightened boy, waits patiently for his mother to return. They each find their way to a rundown bar, whose gasoline-powered generator and stockpile of food and drink make it the last refuge in a deserted city.

The career of the British Invasion pop group Herman's Hermits was in full, fan-shrieking, disc-selling orbit when their first top-billed movie came to theaters, so maybe it's only natural to think NASA would want to name a rocket after them. Well, at least that's what is at stake in this 1966 romp that has the five lads on a U.S. tour, where they're mobbed by various birds -- and secretly monitored by a nerdy scientist to determine if they are rocket worthy. Yes, HOLD ON! is not so much about making sense as it is about having fun. A double fistful of Hermits' songs (including the Top-10 hits "A Must to Avoid" and "Leaning on the Lamp Post") adds to the good times. Shelley Fabares, no stranger to the charts with 1962's JOHNNY ANGEL, costars.

A young police officer is transferred from Seoul to a small village in the countryside for duty when he jokingly checked the box to be deployed anywhere. Arriving at the village, he encounters a bumbling police force who is working with a special detective to resolve some recent murders. As the bodies add up, it becomes clear that the gruesome deaths are attributed to a beast of an animal with a voracious appetite for human flesh. A famous hunter and his team are called in to track and destroy the man-eater. During their tracking expedition, they are confronted by a boar of massive size and strength, which they discover may be a result of experimentation during wartimes. Unprepared and unarmed for taking down the mutant creature, the group must disband as the hunters become the hunted.
