It's sick, it's weird, it's spooky, but it's compulsive viewing. Forget Brat Packs and Rambo, this is the dark side to America. Beneath the squeaky clean surface lurk neuroses and perversions, degradation and despair. Brilliantly done, this film will haunt you. find out more...

David Cronenberg puts the human psyche under the microscope here, with the central characters seemingly hypnotised by their own dark compulsions.

It's back! The most squealchingly sensational scream of a horror movie; Raimi's re-released riotously tasteless voyage into madness, demonic possession and the reign of chaos.
