⬇️ THE FILMS ⬇️
DEADTIME STORIES borrows a few pages from CREEPSHOW (1982) as a horror anthology that brings reading materials to life, except this time it's a book of fractured fairy tales! In the frame story, an uncle babysits his nephew, and the boy nags him for bedtime stories. One is an original fable about a pair of witches who regenerate their sister when the moon is full, and the others are modern day retellings of "Little Red Riding Hood," with a werewolf who scrambles for tranquilizers during a full moon, and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," in which lunatics collide at an abandoned house. With a wicked sense of humor and numerous original pop songs, DEADTIME STORIES fully commits to every ridiculous bit with endearing low-budget production values, goofy freeze-frames, and inventive gore!
Inspired by a manga of the same name, WOLF GUY is an action-horror film about an investigative reporter (played by the legendary Sonny Chiba), the last in a line of werewolves who were slaughtered decades prior. Now he uses his powers to solve mysteries, and the latest involves a singer who was terrorized by predatory men. Her rage manifests as an invisible tiger that hunts down everyone who harmed her, and eventually the Japanese C.I.A. imprison both the reporter and the singer for experiments that could transform them into weapons of war. Packed with martial arts fight scenes and sexual intrigue, WOLF GUY gives us an ethical monster with serious reservations about our so-called civilized world.
