A review of Axing the Coffin: Death is Eternal (1969) Holy crap, this rocks. If you go into this looking for a wuxia you're going to be disappointed. But if you're looking for psycho-sexual horror about a woman who desperately wants to be banged and her ...

Am I going to feel like a jerk for buying the Criterion BD last week right before a 4K release gets announced? Seems like it.

We're feeling a touch excited to share our next Imprint Asia announcement. ✨

If you want to see your friends’ brains open to new possibilities drop the sentence, “My brother is having a hysterectomy this week.” into conversation.

A review of The Silent Love (1971) Similar to Susanna, The Silent Love is a film that won awards on release but that maybe doesn't work as well now. Leaning heavily on both tragedy and an ... um ... broad performance by Chin Feng as ou...
