Synopsis:A brilliant femme fatale steals her husband’s drug money and hides out in a small town, where she meets the perfect dupe for her next scheme. “A devilishly entertaining crime story...both Mr. Dahl, who directs this film with stunning economy, and Ms. Fiorentino, whose performance is flawlessly hard-boiled, exult in the sheer wickedness of Bridget’s character.” ~ Janet Maslin, New York Times
Synopsis:The Manchurian Candidate tells the chilling story of a soldier in the Korean War, played by Laurence Harvey, who is captured and brainwashed by Russian and Chinese Communists into becoming an assassin in the employ of the Soviet government. Frank Sinatra plays a fellow soldier trying to halt the assassination plot. Angela Lansbury was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of Harvey’s manipulative mother, who plays a crucial role in the conspiracy.
Synopsis:TV journalist Reiko investigates an urban legend about a cursed VHS tape that murders the viewer seven days after they watch it.
