A disturbing Danish film, reanacting witchcraft trials from the 15th and 16th on till the early 20th Century. Mixing scenes of reanactment, animation and illustrated slideshows to depict events of alleged real-life events and possessions, we are shown images of extreme cruelty which smack of the experimental edges of medical research. This must have been tantamount to the work of the devil when it first came out. Sick-minds they had back in 1922! The DVD has a choice of soundtracks, the best of find out more...

Hollywood contempories like Spielberg and that arse George Lucas are on hand to throw in their two cents, but the film is really about the obsessive nature of a director who played the parts of writer, special effects creator, hand-tinter, backdrop artist, costumier and probably caterer too. A true visionary. The DVD find out more...

Produced by Spike Lee, CSA is a wickedly clever 'mockumentary' that attempts to show what life in America may have been like if the South had won the civil war. The film is peppered with fake adverts, together with some that are rooted in reality and manages to be satirically humorous as well as genuinely thought provoking. find out more...

Based on a series of documented accounts that took place in the small Wisconsin town of Black River Falls in the late 1890's this is a surreal and dark dramatisation involving murder, the supernatural and, unsurprisingly, insanity and paranoia. Wisconsin Death Trip stunningly evokes a community gone mad, consumed by fear and teetering on the edge of utter implosion; filmed in monochrome this is a hauntingly beautiful rendition of hell on earth. find out more...
