HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND (1986)

Following a painful breakup, macho biker Koh (Riki Takeuchi) skips town and hits the road on his beloved Kawasaki W3 650. On his countryside excursion, he encounters the free-spirited Miyo (Kiwako Harada, older sister of Obayashi favorite Tomoyo Harada) who quickly takes interest in both the leather-clad Koh and his motorbike. Koh and Miyo fall in love even as Miyo's prodigious biking talent and thrill-seeking tendencies heighten Koh's fear that she may push it all too far. A nostalgia-filled reminiscence, Obayashi's monochromatic dream playfully worships the biker culture of yesteryear, delivering a sentimental and liberating take on young love. (BLU-RAY)

HARDCORE POISONED EYES (2000) 

Three girlfriends descend upon a remote cabin for an idyllic, weekend getaway. Amidst the partying, Angelique (Christine Gallo) begins to research the bizarre circumstances surrounding the death of her grandfather, the former owner of the cabin. She soon discovers that her grandfather had collected documented evidence of a local satanic cult and their evil endeavors. After a drunken prank goes horribly wrong, a cloaked and claw-gloved satanic killer lays siege upon the cabin; forcing the girls to fight for their sanity and lives.

The startling feature debut from New York based writer/director Sal Ciavarello, HARDCORE POISONED EYES is a claustrophobic, cabin bound, winter set chamber piece which Rue Morgue magazine called both “atmospheric and jarring.” By utilizing a single location, an insular cast, and the dynamic visual stylings of Emmy-nominated cinematographer Huy Truong, Ciavarello’s HARDCORE POISONED EYES was significant for delivering genuine tension and nail-biting chills which were commonly absent from the work of his SOV contemporaries.

KRAZEE KIDZ VIDEO PARTY

In the 1990s, Something Weird Video mesmerized a generation of film fanatics by unearthing the most wildly surreal genre films of all time—all via the magic of VHS. KRAZEE KIDZ VIDEO PARTY is a loving tribute to those cathode-tube-fueled days. Featuring five deranged kiddie features—all preserved from the original Something Weird S-VHS masters—this collection serves as a time machine to a beloved era in home video history.

KINGDOM OF CROOKED MIRRORS (1963, 76 mins, Color) Resembling an acid-tinged, live-action cartoon, this Russian fairy tale is an imaginative, stylish, and wonderfully surreal discovery.
