From a Jack to a King.
Writer/director Gordon Chan (Fist of Legend, Beast Cops) bring martial arts to life in The King of Beggars, as Stephen Chow (FROM BEIJING WITH LOVE, THE ROYAL TRAMP COLLECTION) lights up the screen with his talents.

Cert 15 | 93 mins | 1981

4 Star
Close Encounters of the Hairy Kind.
It’s cult classic time and thanks to Eureka Entertainment LTD, we get to see it on Blu-ray. This Larry Cohen (The Stuff, The Ambulance, Phone Booth) dark comedy (his only true comedy) is possibly more poignant today than back in the early 1980s (Jimmy Carter).

Re-Animator (1985) 4K UHD Review ****-

Cert 18 | 86 mins | 2025

4 stars, a fantastic restoration of a blood soaked classic.
Re-Animator was first released in 1985 and was one of the most outrageous gore fests to come out of the 80’s horror scene. This blood spattered masterpiece was loosely based on the novella by H.P. Lovecraft and brought to the big screen by director Stuart Gordon (Robot Jox, Space Truckers).
It is available in a…more
