Inglourious Basterds

A WWII story so deranged it could only come from Quentin Tarantino! Mixing star turns from the likes of Brad Pitt with sweeping vistas and hyperkinetic, cartoonish violence, Inglourious Basterds is a loving ode to spaghetti westerns and trashy movies of yesteryear from a master filmmaker.

Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shoshanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.

Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own...

House Of Clocks

House Of Clocks is part of a four-part movie series made for Italian television under the umbrella title House of Doom. Legendary Italian horror maestros Umberto Lenzi and Lucio Fulci each contributed two films for the series: Lenzi made HOUSE OF LOST SOULS and HOUSE OF WITCHCRAFT, while Fulci offered HOUSE OF CLOCKS and SWEET HOUSE OF HORRORS.

One of Fulci's more obscure movies, his first contribution to the series centres on a group of young thugs, intent on robbery, who break into the home of a seemingly harmless couple with an antique clock collection. Though the elderly couple seem an easy target, the young toughs find themselves entering deeper and deeper into a terrifying nightmare after they murder the couple, whose clocks begin to turn back time for the thieves and exact a horrifying revenge on them. Playing out like a Lucio Fulci version of a TWILIGHT ZONE episode, HOUSE OF CLOCKS is sure to please fans of the gore auteur, who is recognized the world over as the sultan of splatter. Here, he creates a surprisingly surrealist story with plenty of atmosphere and originality.

The Sweet House Of Horrors

Fulci's second contribution to the series begins with a typically gory scene worthy of the director deemed "the sultan of splatter". A masked man breaks into a couple's home and brutally murders them in an extremely sadistic fashion, leaving their two children orphaned and haunted by the loss of their parents.

After this violent prologue, the film takes an unexpected turn into the realm of modern-day fairy tales as the grieving children conjure a supernatural force that brings their parents back to life. This tender yet desperate act results in disastrous consequences as the parents attempt to both comfort their children and exact revenge on their murderer. The Sweet House Of Horrors is a strange departure for Fulci, who creates an unusual mix of genres ranging from his trademark horror to some unexpected moments of comedy.

Meanwhile, in a top secret laboratory, strange mind control experiments are being conducted. Against this background a beautiful nurse tries to ease the pain of those condemed to die.
