When John (Aaron Wade - Jekyll /The Fix) takes some friends to his deceased Uncle's remote ranch to hunt wild pigs, it seems like a typical guy's weekend.

Vinyan
Parents looking for a missing child are led into a strange and dangerous netherworld in this thriller.
Jeanne (Emmanuelle Beart) and Paul (Rufus Sewell) are a wealthy couple who were in Thailand helping to establish an orphanage when the 2005 tsunami leveled the island. Jeanne and Paul had a young son who disappeared in the storm, and since his body has never been found, Jeanne holds out hope that he might still be alive, a hope that becomes a desperate concern when she sees a video of children being held by kidnappers in Burma which shows a child who looks like her boy.
Eager to find out the truth, Paul pays a hefty fee to local outlaw Mr. Gao (Petch Osathanugrah) to escort him and Jeanne into a forbidden zone known only to Thailand's criminal underclass near the Burmese border. Jeanne and Paul soon find themselves out of their depth in a strange land they do not understand where dangerous men commune with the spirits of the dead.

Eaten Alive
Umberto Lenzi (CANNIBAL FEROX) directed this atrocious cannibal/religious cult exploitation feature that has become a cult favorite for its awful dialogue, countless scenes of unintentional comedy, copious gore, and a wealth of footage lifted from other cannibal films.
Filmed not long after the Jonestown tragedy in Guyana, director Lenzi tries his hand at topicality by having the film revolve around an insane religious leader named Jonas who has taken a small cult of people from America and moved them into a camp in New Guinea that is located right in the middle of cannibal country. When a woman named Diana sends her sister Sheila mysterious footage of an apparently cannibalistic ritual taking place at the camp, Sheila becomes determined to rescue her. Arriving in New Guinea, Sheila hires an ex-G.I. to help her put together an expedition to the camp with the intention of forcibly removing Diana.

Euro Killers Triple Pack: Man Bites Dog/H6/Tattoo
One of the darkest satirical mockumentaries ever, coupled with two from the New Wave Of European Horror - a box set to instill fear and disgust in you at Halloween!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Euro-Killers...4152512&sr=8-4
Tremors 2 - Aftershocks
When a remote Mexican oilfield comes down with a nasty case of Graboids (for the uninitiated: giant carnivorous worms with tunnelling abilities that put Bugs Bunny to shame), it is up to those veteran monster exterminators Burt and Earl to save the day--and accumulate some much-needed payola in the process. But this time, the slimy critters may have a few new tricks up their ... um, sleeves. Although denied a chance to appear in the cinema, this unjustly neglected direct-to-video sequel delivers the same winning mixture of cornpone and gore that made the original Tremors a cult classic. Although Kevin Bacon is missing, Michael Gross and the wonderful Fred Ward reprise their roles from the first film. A hoot-and-a-half for horror and SF fans, Tremors 2 has some genuine scares and a welcome sense of humour. The DVD, presented in 1.85:1 widescreen format, has trailers for both movies but no other extra features.

Tremors 3 - Back To Perfection
Burt Gummer has been away from home too long. Upon returning to Perfection, Nevada, he realizes that the town of terror has been turned into a tourist trap exploiting the town's reputation as the home of giant killer sand worms. When a simulated attack becomes the real thing, Gummer dons combat gear, loads of ammo and weaponry, and his Atlanta Hawks cap to go back into battle against the very creatures that originally drove him away. Not only does he have to deal with Graboids mutating into the frightening Shrieker monsters, but this time a new, possibly indestructible worm mutation is threatening. Michael Gross reprises his role as the gruff Gummer.
