A plane crash in the freezing Alaskan wilderness pits intellectual billionaire Charles Morse against self satisfied fashion photographer Robert Green in a brutal struggle for survival. Each soon discovers that the greatest danger resides not in nature, but from human fear, treachery, and quite possible, murder. This "nerve-racking adventure" filled with non-stop action and "gripping suspense" is a harrowing tale from one of America's leading screenwriters, David Mamet.

Nosferatu ... the name alone can chill the blood!". F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, released in 1922, was the first (albeit unofficial) screen adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Nearly 80 years on, it remains among the most potent and disturbing horror films ever made. The sight of Max Schreck's hollow-eyed, cadaverous vampire rising creakily from his coffin still has the ability to chill the blood. Nor has the film dated. Murnau's elision of sex and disease lends it a surprisingly contemporary resonance. The director and his screenwriter Henrik Gaalen are true to the source material, but where most subsequent screen Draculas (whether Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Frank Langella or Gary Oldman) were portrayed as cultured and aristocratic, Nosferatu is verminous and evil. (Whenever he appears, rats follow in his wake.)

The film's full title--Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror)--reveals something of Murnau's intentions. Supremely stylised, it differs from Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1919) or Ernst Lubitsch's films of the period in that it was not shot entirely in the studio. Murnau went out on location in his native Westphalia. As a counterpoint to the nightmarish world inhabited by Nosferatu, he used imagery of hills, clouds, trees and mountains (it is, after all, sunlight that destroys the vampire). It's not hard to spot the similarity between the gangsters in film noir hugging doorways or creeping up staircases with the image of Schreck's diabolic Nosferatu, bathed in shadow, sidling his way toward a new victim. Heavy chiaroscuro, oblique camera angles and jarring close-ups--the devices that crank up the tension in Val Lewton horror movies and edgy, urban thrillers such as Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice--were all to be found first in Murnau's chilling masterpiece. --Geoffrey Macnab

On the DVD: This two-disc set gives you the choice of watching Nosferatu in either a sepia-tinted version or the original black & white. Both, however, feature the same modern electronic music score by Art Zoyd (at the movie's lavish 1922 premiere a live orchestra performed a newly composed, quasi-Wagnerian score by Hans Erdmann). The anonymous commentary track is a scholarly critical appraisal of the movie that exhaustively documents every aspect of it, from Murnau's aesthetic use of framing devices to the homoerotic subtext of the Hutter-Orlock relationship. In the "Nosferatour" featurette the movie's locations (principally, the Baltic cities of Wismer and Lubeck) are shown as they are today, and there is also a look at the original artwork that served as Murnau's inspiration. Two text features provide a brief history of the vampire myth from Vlad the Impaler onwards, as well as a discussion of the controversy caused by the movie's release. Appropriately, a trailer for the John Malkovich-Willem Dafoe movie Shadow of the Vampire, which imagines that "Max Schreck" actually was a vampire employed by Murnau in his obsessive pursuit of verisimilitude, is also included.

Martial arts master Jet Li explodes onto the screen with pulse-pounding action not seen since Bruce Lee. "Li's action sequences are like an oil fire, spilling from one room into the next and lightning up the interiors with heat and wreckage!" (The New York Times)

China's top secret agent (Jet Li) is sent to Paris to carry out a top-secret mission only to encounter government espionage at the highest level. Falsely accused of murder, he must team up with a seductive call girl (Bridget Fonda) to save himself and her! Kiss of the Dragon is not merely a thriller but a shocker." (San Francisco Chronicle)

By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever mounted, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is an engrossing actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Hailed as "pure cinema" by Robert Rodriguez (director of Once Upon a Time in Mexico) and "the best directed movie of all time" by Quentin Tarantino (director of Kill Bill: Vol. 1), this epic masterpiece has now been restored to its full glory with 18 minutes of rarely seen footage!

For any hardcore fans of Anime, this is a real tour-de-force of the genre. The vivid imagery, the thrills and chills of the storyline, and the sheer raw energy of it all is why, at its time of release, Urotsukidoji was a ground-breaker. True, there have been other great Anime releases (Akira, for one), but I strongly feel this particular selection best exemplifies the trademark characteristics of the style. Follow Amano Jyaku, his sister Megumi, Tatsuo Nagumo, and Akemi Ito as their lives become intertwined in a timeless dance of fate and circumstance. If you have not seen Urotsukidoji, you have not seen Anime at its finest. The non-stop action, the laughs, and the intersting storyline will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you coming back for more. Plot twists unveil new surprises and keep the audience guessing. A word of caution, however: If you are the squeamish or prudish type, stay away from this video!! If you're a hardcore Anime fan and vivid graphic images in animation do not bother you, this is a must-see. By the way, this is one cartoon series that is definitely not for kids. Happy viewing!

Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Bridget Fonda (A Simple Plan) and Oliver Platt (Bulworth) share an appetite for sheer adventure when a tranquil New England lakefront erupts into an action-packed den of destruction in this "monster of a hit!" (Wireless Magazine)

An investigative team, armed with state-of-the-art equipment, high powered weaponry and a biting sense of sarcasm, must work together to defeat Black Lake's most ferocious resident: a 30-foot prehistoric crocodile! Betty White co-stars as the cantankerous Mrs. Bickerman - a role you've got to hear to believe - in this terrifying tale of survival that "combines humor and thrills with remarkable deftness."

In October 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland, while shooting a documentary... A year later their footage was found.

Now prepare for a motion picture experience unlike anything you've ever seen, heard, or feared before. The Blair Witch Project follows a trio of filmmakers on what should have been a simple walk in the woods... but quickly becomes an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the three become inexplicably lost, morale deteriorates. Hunger sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire's light. By day, chilling ritualistic figures are discovered nearby. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming now is not a legend...but their own descent into unimaginable horror.

At the movies you can't keep the undead down. Brain-hungry zombies are resurrected with flair, style and humor in this sly sequel from writer/director Ken Wiederhorn (Eyes of a Stranger, Freddy's Nightmares).

A new generation of ghouls is spawned when a barrel of nerve gas, fallen off an Army truck, is cracked open by neighborhood toughs. The escaping greenish vapor turns the living into zombies and the dead into the not-so-dead. Of course, it seeps into the local cemetery...with groundbreaking results. See a severed hand on a spree in the back seat of a crowded car. Gasp as a zombie torso - and its missing legs - haplessly seek each other along a hospital corridor. Search no longer, fight fans: this deadfest is lively fun!
