The Leech (2022) From "Black Christmas" to "Rare Exports," there has long been a symbiotic relationship between horror and the season of good cheer. Now, writer-director Eric Pennycoff ("Sadistic Intentions") continues this proud tradition with "The Leech," a cautionary tale about the perils of opening your door to a stranger. Father David (Graham Skipper), a Catholic priest struggling to fill the pews in his church, allows a homeless man, Terry (Jeremy Gardner), into his home to escape the December chill. But this simple act of kindness has unforeseen consequences when Terry's pregnant girlfriend, Lexi (Taylor Gardner), also decides to crash at the parochial house. Determined to save the warring couple through the healing power of God's love, David's ordered existence quickly unravels as he succumbs to the wicked ways of the parasitic pair. Will he pass this apparent test of faith or resort to blood-soaked, Old Testament justice? Agonizingly intense and rib-ticklingly funny in equal measure, "The Leech" serves as both a festive frightmare and a microcosm of the fault lines of contemporary America. Formats: Blu-ray.

Read more here Michael Haneke: Trilogy One of contemporary cinema’s most original, provocative, and uncompromising filmmakers, Austrian auteur Michael Haneke dares viewers to stare into the void of modern existence. With his first three theatrical features, "The Seventh Continent" (1989), "Benny’s Video" (1992), and "71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance" (1994) — a trilogy depicting a coldly bureaucratic society in which genuine human relationships have been supplanted by a deep-seated collective malaise - Haneke established the rigorous visual style and unsettling themes that would recur throughout his work. Exploring the relationships among consumerism, violence, mass media, and contemporary alienation, these brilliant, relentlessly probing films open up profound questions about the world in which we live while refusing the false comfort of easy answers. Formats: Three Blu-ray set, with high-definition digital masters, supervised by director Michael Haneke, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks . Extras: Read more here. (The Criterion Collection).

Shawscope Volume 2 [Limited Edition Boxset] Picking up where Volume One left off, this 10-disc sophomore collection of Hong Kong cinema classics draws together many of the best films from the final years of the Shaw Brothers studio, proving that while the end was nigh, these merchants of martial arts mayhem weren't going to go out without a fight. Armed with stunning special features and ravishing new restorations, this boxset is even bigger and bolder than the last one. The set opens with kung fu master Lau Kar-leung's classic "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin," in which Gordon Liu achieved overnight stardom as the young man who finds enlightenment on the path to vengeance; Lau and Liu followed the original with two inventive sequels, "Return to the 36th Chamber" and "Disciples of the 36th Chamber," both included here. A genius at blending dazzling action with physical comedy, Lau plays the lead role in the hilarious "Mad Monkey Kung Fu," coupled here with Lo Mar's "Five Superfighters." Next, we once again meet Chang Cheh's basher boy band the Venom Mob in four of their best-loved team-ups: "Invincible Shaolin," "The Kid with the Golden Arm," "Magnificent Ruffian"s and the all-star "Ten Tigers of Kwangtung," co-starring Ti Lung and Fu Sheng. After Lau brings us perhaps his best high-kicking comedy with "My Young Auntie," a playful star vehicle for his real-life muse Kara Hui, we see Shaw Brothers embracing 80s excess in the strangest double feature yet: Wong Jing's breathtakingly wild shoot-'em up "Mercenaries from Hong Kong," and Kuei Chih-hung's spectacularly unhinged black magic meltdown "The Boxer's Omen." Last but certainly not least, Lau Kar-leung directs the last major Shaw production, "Martial Arts of Shaolin," filmed in mainland China with a hot new talent named Jet Li in the lead role; it is paired in this set with "The Bare-footed Kid," a reverent remake of a Chang Cheh classic with Johnnie To in the director's chair and Lau back on choreography duties, in arguably the ultimate filmed tribute to Shaws' everlasting cinematic legacy. Formats: Blu-ray Extras: High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentations of all fourteen films, including nine new 2K restorations by Arrow Films; illustrated 60-page collectors’ book featuring new writing by David Desser, Jonathan Clements, Lovely Jon and David West, plus cast and crew listings and notes on each film by Simon Abrams; new artwork; hours of never-before-seen bonus features including several cast and crew interviews from the Frédéric Ambroisine Video Archive; includes two CDs of music from the De Wolfe Music library as heard in several of the films, exclusive to this collection.
