From the new wave of young Italian horror directors comes the groundbreaking La Radice del Male (The Root of Evil), a decidedly Italian take on the world that exists between life and death, reality and fantasy. Already a hot topic on the Internet, The Root of Evil looks to cross borders and cultures with its creepy visuals and haunting storyline. A true original that has no equal - it will leave genre fans talking for days!!!
The film follows Andrea Spiegelman, a painter whose face has been tragically scarred by a terrible accident. The tragedy also made Andrea lose her memory, and she now lives her lonely life in a secluded country estate once owned by her eccentric uncle. There she discovers a vast greenhouse that was used by her uncle to cultivate strange psychoactive plants. Andrea begins to experiment with the plants, learning as she goes from her uncle’s diary. The experiments with the plants set off a series of events that blur reality, lead to great torment and pleasure, and - in the end - lead Andrea to discover the brutal truth about her own life and missing memories.

TMNT, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie will be the first all CG animated movie in the history of the franchise.
Strange events are occurring in New York City, and the Turtles are needed more than ever, but Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo have become lost and direction less. With the city at stake, it’s up to Leonardo and Zen Master Splinter to restore unity and ninja discipline to the Turtles.
This PG-rated film promises to derive its tone from the original comic-book series and will be grittier than the previous live action pictures. We shall see.
