Rob Zombie's 31 UK Trailer Is Funhouse Of Terror

Blu-ray Review - If…. (1968, Masters Of Cinema)

Eureka! Entertainment Welcome Lindsay Anderson’s If.... To Masters Of Cinema Family

Eureka! Entertainment have announced the release of IF...., Lindsay Anderson’s quintessential tale of rebellion and winner of the 1969 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Starring Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange), IF.... was voted the 12th greatest British film ever in BFI’s Top 100 British Films poll. IF....will be released for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK, as part of Eureka!’s award-winning The Masters of Cinema Series on 21 April 2014

Legendary director Lindsay Anderson expanded on the social outrage and intense character focus of his debut This Sporting Life with this combustible tale of teenage insurrection. Winner of the 1969 Palme d’Or at Cannes, If…. was a popular triumph and instantly recognised as a classic.

A caustic portrait of a traditional boys’ boarding school, where social hierarchy reigns supreme and power remains in the hands of distanced and ineffectual teachers and callously vicious prefects. But three junior pupils, led by Mick Travis (played by Malcolm McDowell in the role that would catapult him to becoming one of Britain’s most iconic actors), decide on a shocking course of action to redress the balance of privilege once and for all.

Packed to bursting with its director’s customary passion and experimentation, If…. remains one of cinema’s quintessential tales of rebellion, a radical snapshot of late 60s’ change, and one of the towering achievements of British film in any era. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present this masterpiece in a new Blu-ray edition.

Check out the original theatrical trailer for If....

Watch Red Band Trailer For Horror Anthology Sanitarium

You could say thanks to the likes of V/H/S, 26 ABCs Of Death the Horror anthology is making a big comeback probably to the delight of horror fans. Whilst horror as one feature maybe struggling in general to keep things a fresh delivering the same thrills but in small doses and in Sanitarium it's 3 stories and we have the film's red band trailer.

Sanitarium is based on three 30 minute stories based patients within the sanitarium, stories directed by Bryan Ramirez, Kerry Valderrama and Bryan Oritz. Malcom McDowell leads the cast as Dr.Stenson the the lead doctor and also  the film's narrator whom he introduces each story like in the vein of Twilight Zone, Creep Show, Tales From The Crypt. You may not like the film choice he makes but there seems to be no part that fazes him with many of McDowell's roles been in small independent horrors and thillers but you can't deny he's one of films hardest working actors.

No word on an exact release date or even what format the film will be when or if it arrives in UK, 1st March it will kick off it's festival run  at Miami Film Festival. Sanitarium also stars Horror legend Robert Englund, Lacey Chabert, Lou Diamond Phillips and John Glover.
