Following The Horrible Dr Hichcock, Italian horror master Riccardo Freda and scream queen Barbara Steele reunite with The Ghost. In 1910 Scotland Margaret (Steele) and her lover, Dr. Charles Livingstone (Peter Baldwin, Stalag 17), plot to murder her wealthy, wheelchair-bound husband, Dr. John Hichcock, hoping to claim his fortune. But after John's death, their carefully laid plans begin to unravel when his inheritance vanishes and terrifying supernatural events plague the isolated estate. As ghostly apparitions, séances and mounting paranoia drive the lovers toward madness, they are forced to question whether John's vengeful spirit has truly returned from the grave—or whether a far more sinister deception is at work. Riccardo Freda's Gothic chiller blends murder, betrayal and spectral terror with unforgettable atmosphere, newly restored in 4K from the original negative.

Chasm Films is a label dedicated to curating a catalogue of under-seen, under-appreciated and underground contemporary world genre cinema.

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, a diverse group of residents – including boxer Clutch (Nick Damici), his veteran daughter Casey (Kim Blair), their close friend Coco (Ron Brice), single mother Kay (Bo Corre) and elderly roommates Charlie (Larry Fleischman) and Frank (Larry Medich) – live alongside each other in a tenement block on New York’s historic Mulberry Street. A few days before they are all due to be forcibly evicted to make way for luxury housing, a virus carried by sewer rats breaks out in their neighbourhood, turning its victims into horrifying hybrids of human and rodent. The debut feature by Jim Mickle (Cold in July) and the first of several collaborations between Mickle and his co-writer Nick Damici (Stake Land), Mulberry Street is a visceral, low-budget marvel of independent American horror and a pointed commentary on gentrification and class warfare.

George Armitage (Grosse Pointe Blank) adapted celebrated noir author Charles Willeford’s novel Miami Blues for the screen with new star Alec Baldwin in the lead role as sociopathic criminal Frederick J. Frenger, Jr. Arriving in Miami fresh out of jail he commits one crime after another when he meets young hooker Susie (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Single White Female) who he starts to build a pseudo married life with, including the home cooking and the white picket fence. As Frederick tries to juggle domesticity with his mounting crimes, dogged cop Hoke Moseley (Fred Ward, Tremors) threatens to put his freedom in jeopardy. Baldwin is brilliant as the unhinged criminal tearing through Miami while Armitage perfectly balances the humour and violence in this singular crime comedy that betrays the quirky influence of producer Jonathan Demme (Something Wild, Married to the Mob).

On the cusp of marriage, Liana becomes convinced she shouldn't live a life in service of a man. Instead, she leaves for Amalfi, where she embarks on an affair. From there she makes for Paris, but each new adventure is compromised by some kind of emotional constraint, culminating in a final act of tragedy. Vittorio Cottafavi's emotionally complex story exhibits the melodramatic finesse of Douglas Sirk with a style reminiscent of Max Ophuls. A remarkably modern exploration of female autonomy, A Free Woman has been newly restored by Radiance and is presented on home video for the first time outside of Italy.

Working as an usherette at a porn cinema, Simone (Ingrid Bourgoin) squabbles with her colleague as they welcome their peculiar clientele. After her shift, she waits for her girlfriend at a lesbian nightclub full of eccentric characters, before sharing a slow drive home with a stranger. Produced by Paul Vecchiali’s Diagonale (Rosa la rose, fille publique), Marie-Claude Treilhou’s mercurial triptych is rich in style, funny detail, and heady atmosphere. Queer for the marginal stories it tells and for its offbeat, aesthetic blend of irony and sincerity, Simone Barbès or Virtue is a gem of the post-post-New Wave, capturing both the thrilling possibilities and compelling absurdities of nighttime Paris.

Tom and Evelyn (Lewis Fiander and Prunella Ransome), a young couple from England, plan an idyllic getaway to a remote Spanish island, in anticipation of the birth of their third child. 

When they arrive, they find their destination almost entirely deserted, with the exception of a number of children, all of whom are acting strangely.  When the couple begin to find evidence of a number of atrocities on the island, they quickly find themselves embroiled in a terrifying battle for survival, as well as being forced to confront a previously unthinkable question…

Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (El televisor, The House That Screamed), the legendary master of horror dubbed the ‘Spanish Hitchcock’, Who Can Kill A Child? is his undisputed masterpiece, an extreme and unbearably tense work that remains deeply shocking in its disregard for societal taboos. With a cult reputation that has continued to grow among genre aficionados since its release in 1976, Who Can Kill A Child? is now considered not just as a landmark work of Euro-horror, but as one of the greatest horror films ever made (Slant Magazine).

In the outer reaches of deep space, the spaceship Galliott answers a distress signal from Aura, an unexplored planet. As the ship attempts to land, members of the crew inexplicably begin to attack one another. This is the start of a terrifying expedition into the unknown, one plagued by paranoia, possession and violent mayhem wrought upon the unsuspecting explorers by the planet’s mysterious inhabitants. A sci-fi horror hybrid from genre master Mario Bava (Blood and Black Lace), Planet of the Vampires is widely regarded as one of the most influential genre films ever made, with a clear influence on films such as Alien and Pitch Black. With a uniquely chilly atmosphere and fantastic production design that belies its low budget origins, Planet of the Vampires is a true genre classic.

In the newspaper’s mail he receives the opportunity he’s been waiting for, a serial killer announces and later carries out a series of grisly murders.

From veteran director Luigi Zampa, The Monster is a satirical giallo with deeper commentary on the nature of the press in society.

A struggling news reporter (Kenicho Endo, The Raid 2) keeps pushing boundaries to impress his superiors, finally winding up in a motel room with his estranged daughter. Back home, his bullied son takes his violent rages out on his mother, who turns to heroin to cope but must prostitute herself to afford the habit. Into this scene of severe family dysfunction steps Q, a mysterious stranger with a knack for knowing just what each member needs most, whether it's a rock to the head, a sexual reawakening, or a bout of murder. From the mind of Takashi Miike comes his most transgressive film yet: unflinching yet darkly humorous, Visitor Q pushes the limits of filmic representation as far as they will go. Equal parts Pasolini, Ozu and John Waters, this may well be Miike's finest film.

Though rarely thought of as a home for genre filmmaking, France has fostered a long lineage of films treading the line between realism and fantasy. Broadly gathered under the term cinéma fantastique, these works often find the magical and the surreal lurking in the ordinary. Uncanny dreams, fleeting visions, or eerie apparitions lift their protagonists out of the everyday, transporting viewers into atmospheric worlds where the usual rules structuring our reality do not appear to hold. Formally striking and thematically stimulating, these phantasmagorical films blur the boundary between horror and wonder as they weave beguiling tales around the mysterious and the unexplained. 

DANS LA NUIT
Shortly after his wedding, a quarry worker (Charles Vanel, The Wages of Fear, Illustrious Corpses) is disfigured in a mining accident. The creepy mask now covering his face is scarier than the scars underneath it… and his bride (Sandra Milovanoff) is soon tempted by the promise of happier days with another man. The sole feature film directed by legendary French actor Charles Vanel, Dans la nuit was released at the dawn of the sound era and virtually condemned to obscurity as a result. This restoration reveals a viscerally affecting story of love and happiness, terror and guilt, with stunning cinematography and breathtakingly creative editing capturing the surreal atmosphere of life in the mines as well as the dizzying joy of romance. 

LA NUIT FANTASTIQUE
Philosophy student Denis (Fernand Gravey, La ronde) makes ends meet by working nights at a fresh food market. Perpetually exhausted, he often falls asleep and dreams of Irène (Micheline Presle, Donkey Skin), a beautiful woman dressed in white. One night, he follows her on a peculiar adventure across Paris… One of the most successful French films made during the German occupation of France, Marcel L’Herbier’s lighthearted comedy uses ethereal set design, witty dialogue, and a charismatic cast to gracefully skip from one charmingly implausible moment to the next. Suspending your disbelief is easy when dream logic makes for such a lovely tale. 

LE DIABLE SOUFFLE
One rainy night in the city, Laurent (Charles Vanel, The Wages of Fear, Illustrious Corpses) meets Louvaine (Héléna Bossis), a sickly and despairing young woman. He brings her back to his small island near the Spanish border, where the Tramontana wind always blows. One stormy night, Diégo (Jean Chevrier), a mysterious drifter, finds refuge on the island, disturbing Laurent and Louvaine’s harmonious routine.  Emotions are high and imaginations run wild in Edmond T. Gréville’s moody story of unrequited love, broken dreams, and frustrated desires. The atmospheric cinematography by Henri Alekan (Beauty and the Beast, Wings of Desire) captures all the hallucinogenic power of the film’s unusual setting, an isolated place battered by winds and rain when it isn’t bathed in idyllic sunshine. 

THE GOLEM
After he mistakenly swaps his hat with that of somebody called Athanase Pernath, an unnamed man (André Reybaz) appears to start living the stranger’s life in his dreams. A jewel cutter and book restorer in the Prague ghetto, Pernath is embroiled in his neighbors' sordid stories of passion, jealousy, and revenge, while rumors spread that an ominous clay figure known as the Golem has reappeared after 33 years. Jean Kerchbron’s TV adaptation of Gustav Meyrink’s novel, itself inspired by the Jewish folktale of the Golem, seems like an emanation from another time and place. Mystical dialogue, arresting set design, and a panoply of striking faces combine in a hypnotic, metaphysical tale that appears to abide by old rules and ancient wisdom. 

THE WOMAN WITH RED BOOTS
After Françoise (Catherine Deneuve, Belle de Jour, Mississippi Mermaid), a successful novelist, meets the rich art patron Pérou (Fernando Rey, Illustrious Corpses, That Obscure Object of Desire), he begins to stalk her. Soon, he invites her to write her memoir at his country house. But he also invites Marc (Adalberto Maria Merli, The Night Caller), the director of an art magazine whom Françoise has become obsessed with. Juan Luis Buñuel takes after his father in this unpredictable allegory on art’s power to control us and warp our perceptions. The multi-layered game of cat and mouse makes canny use of Deneuve’s on-screen persona as both an unreachable ideal and a sensual, flesh-and-blood woman: Françoise is an artist who, through her creative imagination and the grip she has on men’s psyche, can make them see things that may or may not be there. 

THREE LIVES AND ONLY ONE DEATH
In the first of four intertwining tales, Marcello Mastroianni (8 ½, Le notti bianche) plays an affable man who tells a stranger about the time fairies devoured years of his life. In the second, he is a Professor who abandons his job to become a beggar. In the third, he is the eccentric butler that comes with the large chateau a young couple unexpectedly inherits. And in the fourth, he is a businessman who learns that the family he invented to get out of work obligations is arriving from the airport. Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz tells four strange yet eerily familiar, fable-like tales set in Paris, where he lived and worked for much of his life. Mastroianni’s twinkle-eyed charm carries us through an offbeat journey through time and destiny, made up of odd coincidences, weird recurrences, and bizarre details.

KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL.

After his daughter (Susan Sarandon in her first screen role) overdoses on heroin, wealthy NY businessman Bill Compton (Dennis Patrick) confronts her drug dealer boyfriend in a rage and accidentally murders him. Stunned, he retreats to a nearby bar and finds himself confessing his crime to a stranger: the charismatic yet deeply bigoted blue-collar factory worker Joe (a remarkable Peter Boyle). 

When the hippy-hating Joe discovers his new friend is telling the truth, he begins to ingratiate himself into Compton’s life, and despite their vastly different backgrounds the two men find themselves developing a rapport based around their shared fear and disdain of the counter culture, an uneasy alliance that will eventually have devastating consequences.

Directed by John G Avildsen (Rocky) from a typically trenchant Norman Wexler (Saturday Night Fever, Serpico) screenplay, Joe ruthlessly exposes the dark heart of American society in a shocking, darkly satirical depiction of the fierce cultural battleground of the USA at the beginning of the 1970s, and the violent death of the hippy dream.

Detective Kosuke Kindaichi arrives to investigate the case and uncovers the secret history of the family’s bloodline. Directed by Kon Ichikawa (Ten Women in Black, Fires on the Plain), this murder mystery was a massive hit in Japan that profoundly changed the Japanese film industry.

After finishing his studies in Switzerland, the shy and innocent Stefano (Jacques Perrin, Girl with a Suitcase) decides to become a priest. His father, Leonardo (Alain Cuny, La dolce vita), a rich publishing magnate, disapproves: he wants his son to take over his empire someday. When he invites Stefano on a yacht trip together with his mistress (Rosanna Schiaffino), Leonardo’s intention is not to reconcile with his son... Pleasure under the burning sun takes on sinister undertones in this haunting tale of a cruel father determined to tempt his son into relinquishing his spiritual ambitions. With ice-cold New Wave stylings and sharp dialogue, director Mauro Bolognini (Il bell’Antonio, The Big Night) crafts an unsparing critique of Italy’s nascent consumerist society.
