A private jet crashes in the Sierra mountains but all seven passengers survive. With temperatures reaching the low 30s, the group searches for shelter and discovers an abandoned avalanche station. With a torrential snow storm headed their way, they elect to take refuge until the weather improves. Two days pass, and with no rescue team in sight, the group decides to search for the plane, in hopes of fixing the radio to call help, but the fresh snow has covered up their tracks.

Stranded and starving, Zak, a snowboard champion, sets out on his own and soon turns up ripped to shreds. They are not alone.

One by one, the survivors are devoured alive by an alien creature with an insatiable appetite for human flesh. The remaining four band together to fight back and kill the human-eating aliens - or be eaten. But the survivors are seemingly no match for these extraterrestrial beasts, as they have multiplied, and are able to spear their prey with a barbed-like tongue that pulls their victims into their razor sharp teeth that shred human flesh like a haywire garbage disposal.

Hoping against hope, the survivors don’t give up. They devise a plan to trap the demons from outer space and explode the cabin, but they’re surprise-attacked by the aliens, leaving the trap unfinished. Three survivors escape, but one remains behind and bravely sacrifices herself by releasing the explosives.

Blood Predator was written and directed by Paul Gagné.

Behind The Mask is the story of Leslie Vernon. On the surface, he’s your average, small-town, nice guy with goals, ambition and aspirations to… follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Eugene, and be the world’s next great psycho-slasher.

I confess I’m a self-promoter. I’ve given documentary filmmaker Taylor Gentry and her crew exclusive access to my life as I intricately plan and execute my reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, (where my legend was born). Along the way, I’ll teach them the trade of being a psycho-slasher and I’ll deconstruct the conventions and archetypes of the genre of horror over which I hope to reign.

China, Later Tang Dynasty, 10th Century.

On the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, golden flowers fill the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) returns unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay Chou). His pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but given the chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress (Gong Li), this seems disingenuous.

For many years, the Empress and Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison. Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor’s daughter.

Meanwhile, Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the Empress’s health and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums. Could she be headed down an ominous path?

The Emperor harbors equally clandestine plans; the imperial doctor (Ni Dahong) is the only one privy to his machinations. When the Emperor senses a looming threat, he relocates the doctor’s family from the Palace to a remote area.

While they are en route, mysterious assassins attack them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen Jin) are forced back to the palace. Their return sets off a tumultuous sequence of dark surprises.

Amid the glamour and grandeur of the festival, ugly secrets are revealed. As the Imperial Family continues its elaborate charade in a palatial setting, thousands of golden armored warriors charge the palace. Who is behind this brutal rebellion? Where do Prince Jai’s loyalties lie? Between love and desire, is there a final winner?

Against a moonlit night, thousands of chrysanthemum blossoms are trampled as blood spills across the Imperial Palace.
