When he discovers an ancient satanic temple, with it’s attendant secrets, his vengeful fantasies become transformed into a violent reality. Combining the temple secrets with his advanced computer skills, he begins to beckon forth demons and cast evil spells on the objects of his hatred, securing the ultimate revenge. Also includes: ‘Contamination’, ‘Tenebrae’, ‘Don’t Go Near The Park’ and ‘The Witch Who Came From The Sea’ plus the documentary ‘Ban The Sadist Videos: Part 2′.
Buy it before they ban it. Again.

Another collection of Pedro Almodovar films:
Flower of My Secret
Spain’s high priest of hip, Pedro Almodovar, returns with a brilliant combination of his familiar stylized comedy and a new departure into full-blooded melodrama.
Leo leads a secret double life as an author of romantic fiction. However her success as the best-selling Amanda Gris hasn’t brought her happiness and things are getting worse. Her husband doesn’t love her, her best friend is strangely distracted and her mother and sister are too busy bickering to notice that anything’s wrong.
Abandoned by her muse and seeking solace in the bottle since the collapse of her marriage, an unlikely rescuer sets her on a collision course to a new emotional entanglement…
Kika
Young cosmetologist Kika (Verónica Forqué) is called to the mansion of rich American Nicholas (Peter Coyote) in order to make up the corpse of his stepson Ramon. As it turns out, Ramon is not actually dead and he begins an affair with Kika…
However, the path of true love never does run smooth and the pair must survive the threats of Kika’s previous affair with Nicholas, the mystery surrounding the all-too suspicious death of Ramon’s mother and Ramon’s former psychologist…
‘Kika’, an hilarious comedy written and directed by Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar, comes to DVD fOr the first time.
Law of Desire
‘Law of Desire’ is an unbridled send-up of the absurdities of human desire, a wildly funny film that took American and European audiences by storm and immediately established director Pedro Almodovar.
‘Law of Desire’ features a fabulous trio - Pablo, a famous Madrid director for whom men are prepared to die, his new love-crazed boyfriend Antonio, and Pablo’s flamboyant and gorgeous transsexual sister Tina.
Pablo is suffering because Juan, his lover, shares his steamy passion but not his commitment, and has returned to his village in southern Spain. Trying to forget him, Pablo is seduced by the tall, dark, handsome and heterosexual Antonio who, in the space of 24 hours, goes from having his first gay affair, to being Pablo’s demanding - and threatening - lover. Pablo makes the mistake of dismissing Antonio as inconsequential but Antonio intends to pursue his passions to their ultimate conclusion.
Matador
At his school in Madrid, ex-bullfighter Diego Montes instructs his students in the corrida: ‘the art of the kill’. Trainee bullfighter Angelo, sexually repressed and mother fixated, is taunted about his suspected homosexuality by Diego.
To prove his masculinity Angel attempts to sexually assault Diego’s girlfriend. Failing in his attempt and consumed by guilt he confesses to murders he did not commit – the victims are killed with bullfighting instruments at the moment of sexual climax.
Angel is defended by lawyer Maria Cardenal, the real killer, who is obsessed with Diego and uses Angel to draw the maestro Matador into one last confrontation.

A collection of 5 horrors from Britain’s Amicus Studio, packaged in a suitably chilling coffin-shaped box.
In ‘And Now The Screaming Starts’ a young married couple are thrown into a web of fear when they move into an eerie house that is subject to an evil curse and inhabited by a dismembered hand. ‘Doctor Terror’s House Of Horror’ tells how Doctor Terror catches a train and persuades five passengers to have their fortunes told using the Tarot Cards. In ‘The House That Dripped Blood’ an investigator looks into the strange goings-on in an empty house. ‘Asylum’ consists of four tales of terror which are revealed to a new doctor by four mental asylum inmates. Each tale leads to a puzzling mystery which is solved during the final tale. ‘The Beast Must Die’ finds a rich sportsman who invites a number of guests to his house with the knowledge that one of them is a werewolf. The film features a novel ‘guess who’ sequence at the end.

Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life has recently been voted the most inspirational film ever made.

After being shown what his hometown would have been like had he never been born, Bailey eventually comes to realise that his is a wonderful life after all.
This, along with three other films - including Harvey - is on the James Stewart Screen Legends collection.
