Synopsis: For mechanic Larry Stilson (Steve Bisley - THE GREAT GATSBY, MAD MAX) and his wife Carmel (Arna-Maria Winchester - CODA), a weekend in paradise turns into their most horrifying nightmare. At their retreat in an isolated mountain valley, they are confronted by Heinrich (Ross Thompson - BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS), the victim of a deadly nuclear spill who is in the throes of a horrifying radiation death.
A top-secret government security team moves in with an army of vicious decontamination workers to seal off the valley, forcing Larry and Carmel to attempt a daring high-speed escape! But, the question growing more urgent by the minute is - can the radioactive waste be contained?
Boasting high-octane car chases and spectacular stunts staged by George Miller, the director of Mad Max, and appearances from the stars of that film (Steve Bisley, Hugh Keays-Byrne and Mel Gibson), THE CHAIN REACTION is a slick, futuristic action thriller that hurls you into the nightmarish world of terror and nuclear holocaust.

Synopsis: DAY OF THE DEAD displays plenty of guts, as FX Maestro Tom Savini really comes of age with an amazing splatter platter of sliding guts, faceless zombie freaks, and provocative new makeups delivered with a chunk-blowing gusto deserving of the highest praise." - Chas Balun, Beyond Horror Holocaust
In horror maestro, George A Romero's gruesome follow-up to the acclaimed DAWN OF THE DEAD, the flesh-eating undead have wiped out every last vestige of the civilized world and now outnumber the living 40,000-to-one! Hidden deep within a fortified underground missile silo an isolated and increasingly unstable ragtag group of scientists and soldiers continue to work to find a cure for this unstoppable plague.
Tensions soon escalate between a maniacal bloodthirsty military leader and a borderline mad scientist, sparking a climactic assault on the bunker by thousands of zombies... one final battle for humanity's survival. Named by Romero as his favorite "dead" movie, DAY OF THE DEAD showcases his tight, taut direction and unleashes a cavalcade of non-stop zombie carnage courtesy of gore wizard, Tom Savini.

EMMANUELLE Synopsis: The most popular soft porn film of all time and a breakout box-office hit around the world, Emmanuelle stars Sylvia Kristel (Mata Hari) as the eponymous heroine who is sexually awakened through a series of erotic adventures. Newly married, young, beautiful and naive Emmanuelle travels to Bangkok to join her older diplomatic husband Jean (Daniel Sarky).
On the plane, which takes off from Paris, she gets a taste of the erotic joys waiting for her in Asia. In Bangkok, the capital of the senses, with the encouragement of her husband, Emmanuelle abandons sentimental love to find fulfilment in her pleasures, first with young girl Marie-Ange (Christine Boisson, THE TRUTH ABOUT CHARLIE), then with new lover Mario (Alain Cuny, LA DOLCE VITA) . Emmanuelle revels in this new-found pleasure so much so that excess becomes the word of the hour, especially when Jean goes away on a business trip and leaves Emmanuelle alone in the hands of Mario.
Adapted from Emmanuelle Arsan's famous novel, sensitively directed by Just Jaekin (THE STORY OF O), and lushly photographed on location in Thailand Emmanuelle is an erotic tale for men and women alike to enjoy.
EMMANUELLE 2 Synopsis: Emmanuelle lives out her fantasies in the arms of both her husband and her lover, Christopher. She goes on to initiate the young Anna-Maria into the pleasures and subtleties of carnal love.
