From the mind of horror legend Clive Barker, director of 'Hellraiser' and 'Nightbreed', comes 'Underworld', a chilling exploration of human transformation and the price of ambition.

Beneath the city lies a secret world inhabited by mutants addicted to a terrifying new drug created by the mysterious Dr. Savary (Denholm Elliott). Their only hope of salvation lies in Nicole (Nicola Cowper), forced to work in a high-class brothel by Savary but, for reasons unknown, unaffected by the drug's mutations. When the mutants kidnap Nicole, private investigator Roy Bain (Larry Lamb) is hired by the brothel's owner (Steven Berkoff) to bring her home. But, as he descends deeper into the subterranean labyrinth, what starts as a rescue mission soon spirals into a frantic battle for survival. Blending noir sensibilities with extreme body horror, this atmospheric thriller - released in the US as Transmutations - offers an intriguing glimpse into Barker's early cinematic explorations of transformation and the grotesque.

"The Night of Death!" is an underrated Gallic gorefest with bags of atmosphere and a wicked sense of humour. It's 1980 and, having been unemployed for eight months, Martine (Isabelle Goguey) jumps at the chance when offered a job in an isolated old people's home.

Her 50-something employer, Helene Robert (Betty Beckers), is a little intimidating, the handyman (Michel Flavius) is rather sinister, and the ageing boarders are an eccentric lot, to put it mildly. But Martine feels she's fallen on her feet. Then come the mysteries. What became of Martine's young predecessor Nicole (Charlotte de Turckheim)? Why are there so few residents and why do they look so well preserved? What can it mean when Martine finds a press photo of the youthful Helene dated 1886? And what role does the so-called Golden Needle Killer play in all of this? Dare you venture into Helene's chamber of horrors and witness the rituals that take place there?
