A man rescues a boy and later tries to get him off his back but to little avail, so they end up drifting around a subterranean world, populated by grotesque masked figures. A hundred years after Chaplin filmed his first feature film, The Kid, Norbert Pfaffenbichler offers an experimental punk-style interpretation, which the filmmaker himself has defined as a dystopian slapstick film.

Architect seeks revenge and becomes vigilante after group of hoodlums break into his apartment and rape his wife and sister. Sounds familiar? That's because it's a Turkish remake of the original Death Wish. A bit more bloody and less dramatic.

13 Notes en rouge (2)

13 Notes en rouge

13Notes en rouge

After a seemingly drunken evening, Charlotte wakes up in the middle of the night on her bed. While she has no memory of the past few hours, she hears her co-tenant being violently attacked in her room. Unable to rescue her, Charlotte finds herself alone with the intruder. The latter accuses him of having stolen his most precious possession. To stay alive, Chartlotte will have to identify the object in question, and above all, remember the misdeeds of which she seems accused.

In the pure tradition of the crazy erotic neo-giallo which already characterized his old films, with "13 notes in red" François Gaillard signs his most accomplished work and shows total generosity offering a mixture of hemoglobin and sexuality on a tasty aesthetic punctuated with neon reds and leather. Suffice to say that it's been a long time since French bis cinema has produced something so enjoyable.

Hotel Poseidon volgt 24 uur in het leven van Dave (Tom Vermeir), een uitgebluste veertiger die in het bouwvallige hotel van zijn overleden vader woont. Hij vult er zijn dagen met luisteren naar ruis op een oude walkman, het ontlopen van zijn dominante moeder (Tania Van der Sanden) en het incasseren van vernederingen door zijn vriendin (Ruth Becquart). Dave wil liefst met rust worden gelaten... maar de komst van een mysterieuze gast (Anneke Sluiters) en een onbetrouwbare vriend (Dominique Van Malder) zet een reeks magische en surreële gebeurtenissen in gang... A day in the life of reluctant hotel owner Dave – a man troubled by nightmares, his neighbor, his friends and love. Dave’s existence is hopeless. His days and nights blend into each other as he wanders vacantly through the halls of the abandoned and dilapidated Hotel Poseidon, which he inherited from his deceased father. When a young woman knocks on the hotel’s door looking for a room, while Dave’s best friend wants to throw a party in the backroom and a recurring dream haunts him, a surreal and grisly ordeal is set in motion.

Musical based on SIKSA's "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" is a performative dream of making a movie come true, where both the dream and the movie are like chewing gum that has been tasteless for too long. A nostalgic invitation to a dancing story about a girl returning to her childhood, when she dressed up as different women using her mother's wardrobe, and all the roles she played were to please herself. This film is a tool for reconstructing the scenes from the youth, as well as a baroque farewell to all the glitter and unicorns. Stabat Mater Dolorosa is like a bayonet slashing through modern times. She gives us micro-performances with all her body, and at her own risk. SIKSA's music is the scenario rejected, grinded, spat out, negated and intensified by the characters. Piotr Macha's camera is one of the murder weapons that SIKSA would like to use to fuck up the modern reality. It's a language of art that SIKSA has been using almost unnoticed since 2014. A gun, a girl and death – those are the times we live in.

Rookie cop Rachel is about to begin her first night-shift in a neglected police station in a Scottish backwater town--the kind of place where the tide has gone out and stranded a motley bunch of the aimless, the forgotten, the bitter-and-twisted who all think that they really deserve to be somewhere else. They all think they're there by accident and that, with a little luck, life will get better. Wrong on both counts. Six is about to arrive--and all hell will break loose.

Thriller Poster

Rendered mute after a horrific assault in the park by a sadistic old paedophile, young Madeleine tries to escape the traumatic experience living in silence in her parents' farmhouse. However, things will take a turn for the worse, when an innocent offer for a lift by a handsome stranger in a flashy sports-car leads to a nightmarish life of prostitution, abuse, and drug addiction. But when Madeleine finds out her evil pimp's cruel scheme, an irrevocable course of sweet retribution and a deadly sawed-off double-barrelled shotgun will inevitably set the stage for a bloody roaring rampage of revenge. And then, no one will ever dare to harm her again. The iconic appearance of Cristina Lindberg with her angelic face, long leather coat and eyepatch has often been copied and influenced the look of Kill Bill, among others.

For three years, James (Harry Shum Jr.) has been haunted by his wife’s sudden and inexplicable disappearance. His best distraction is work—specifically, archiving old videos. While watching decade-aged TV news footage one night, he sees a video interference that’s deeply disturbing. And it’s not the only interference he’ll see. As his obsession over these strange clips increases, and he submerges himself into their mysteries, James discovers troubling connections to his missing wife. Based on actual, but never resolved hacks. Was it a serial killer releasing information? Or just some kids playing around? or even an avant-garde way of viral release of a minimal electro album?
