REPULSION

Deneuve is a sexually repressed, mentally unbalanced beauty salon worker who has an abnormal fear of men. After being left alone by her sister for the weekend she begins to decline into madness and Isolates herself in the apartment. Hour by hour her illness worsens until her reality becomes a schizophrenic nightmare. She soon begins to hallucinate, seeing men everywhere—even the apartment walls begin to pulsate with men’s bodies that soon smash their way out of the the walls!

Polanski clearly let his macabre imagination run wild to create this grisly, often surrealistic visualization of a disturbed mind. The sequence where Deneuve takes a barbers straight edge to a man who makes a sexual advance at her —hacking him bit by bit —is one of the most repulsive and chilling sequences ever put on film.

Highly recommended essential horror cinema.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

George Romero's debut film was this shoestring frightfest that revolutionized the horror film genre and became one of the great underground ghoul masterpieces of all time. The plot is pretty simple; the recently buried dead are rising en masse from their graves and devouring the living! Romero trashed the soapy romantic elements and scientific monologues —”the setup”— that opened most horror films and went straight for the entrails -- first blood is drawn less than six minutes from the opening shot. The action continues at a relentless pace as a group of people seek refuge in a farmhouse which is slowly being surrounded by the cannibal zombies.

DEMENTIA THIRTEEN

After a man suddenly dies, his wife pretends that he's still alive so that she can keep the fortune he was set to inherit from his elderly ,. Mentally disturbed mother. A series of ax murders, communications from “the other side” and a chilling series of twists and turns add up to a first class shocker.

Often mislabeled as Coppola's first film, it was actually his third directorial outing. The first two were quick nudie flicks (including "Tonight for Sure " NYFAVIDEO). The script, based on a previous screenplay, was written in three days by 23 year old Coppola and presented to Roger Corman who approved a miniscule $22,000 budget and offered a gothic Dublin estate as a set.

CAUTION- This film has been released on video before in various edited television versions. This NYFA video edition is the complete, uncut and unedited theatrical version made from quality film materials.
