Sinister Cinema

Roland Drew, Steffi Duna, Alan Ladd, Greta Granstedt. The first PRC film actually released under the PPC banner

Jean Marais, Genevieve Page, Jean Claude Brialy. An eccentric scientist discovers a method for shrinking people. He uses his girlfriend as a guinea pig with somewhat comical results. A French sci-fi comedy.

Richard Harrison, Giacomo Rossi-Stuart, Daniel Martin, Mikaela, Sara Lezana. This was our first Spaghetti western release many, many years ago. We've finally brought it to DVD from a beautiful widescreen color print. Considered by some to be the first true spaghetti western. Harrison is excellent as a mysterious, revenge-seeking stranger. His goal is to find and gun down the bloodthirsty thugs who gunned down his family in cold blood. A great spaghetti western from start to finish. Color,...

Conrad Veidt, Anna Lee. A wonderful, ultra rare British fantasy. The setting is an old boardinghouse filled with a variety of people, all with different problems. They're lorded over by an evil, mephisto-like slum lord. The tenants' lives are changed forever by the arrival of a Christ-like stranger who aids them with their problems. Our DVD master was taken from an older Euro PAL video source that has a few minor gliches, but is still very watchable. Nice contrast. A fantasy masterpiece. ...

Anthony Steffen, Frank Wolff, Eduardo Fajardo, Armando Calvo. Ringo saves the life of a Mexican bandit who has half a treasure map tattooed on his back. They search for the sheriff whose back is tattooed with the other half. No classic, but still a six-shooting good time. Color, scope, 16mm.

Paul Naschy, Vic Winner, Ingrid Garbo. Four weary travelers unknowingly take shelter Dracula's castle. Look out! Considered by many to be Nashy's best horror film. This is the totally uncut American release version that you saw in theaters back in the 1970s. Nothing is missing. Print and color quality are beautiful. Color, from 16mm.

Tom Conway, Delphi Lawrence, Brian Worth, Michael Balfour. Conway, in one of his last starring roles, is an investigator on the trail of a priceless, recently stolen stamp. His top suspect is the nephew of a beautiful lady that he has the hots for. 16mm.

Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Jean Porter, Andrew Tombes, Edward Gargan. Roy does a "Taming of the Shrew" bit with Dale in this likable Republic outing. He also has time to sing a few songs and nab of few outlaws. This is a big lavish Republic production in which Roy who'd been on screen since 1935 receives his first screen kiss. Interestingly enough it was from Porter and not his future wife Evans. Most definitely recommended. 16mm.

John Drew Barrymore, Edmund Purdom, Gianna Canale. An atmospheric retelling of the rise and fall of Rasputin, whose seemingly supernatural powers made the czarina into a hypnotic slave. Barrymore reprises the role his father played in RASPUTIN AND THE EMPRESS. A bizarre film. From 16mm.

Patty Shepard, John Caffari, Monica Randall, Luis Barboo. A young couple travels through the lonely Pyenees Mountains. They decide to spend the night at an ancient Spanish castle. Big mistake, because the castle is the gathering place for a local witches. Lots of ancient black magic rituals. Cheesy but fun. Color, 16mm.

A well done, old dark house chiller based on a story by Edgar Wallace. Our previous video master was from the cut American version, but now we're offering the original, uncut British edition. From 16mm.

George O'Brien, Dorothy Wilson, Paul Kelly, Harry Woods, Jimmy Butler, Richard Carlyle. This is one helluva B western. A spoiled rich dude--down to his last $200 after wasting his inheritance--takes a train to California and gets off at a little cowboy town where he completely turns his life around. He intercedes on behalf of a local farmer who's had his water supply cut off by another rancher. O'Brien was one the top Western stars of the 30's, and it's easy to see why. We highly recommend...
