SYNOPSIS
CAMPFIRE TALES
Rated R for violence/terror, language and sexuality · 93 minutes

Returning home from a concert and driving recklessly, four teenagers crash their car on a deserted road. To ward off the cold, they build a fire and wait for help. But, the hair-raising stories they tell around the fire put a deeper chill into the night. Each tale is more lurid, more horrifying, more shocking than anything they’ve heard before. Yet, for these unlucky teens in the woods, the biggest shock is still to come!

The DVD features a widescreen (1.85.1) version of the film with 5.1 and DTS sound, along with English and Spanish subtitles.

NATURE OF THE BEAST
Rated R for hard drug use, strong language, a sex scene and some terror/violence. · 91 minutes

In the tradition of The Hitcher, Nature of the Beast is an intense psychological thriller about a businessman (Henriksen) drawn into a bloody game of cat and mouse by a mysterious drifter (Roberts). With the police searching for a serial killer on a murderous rampage and a million dollars missing from a Las Vegas casino, both men have something sinister to hide. But, as the lies are peeled away and their true nature is revealed, it becomes clear that one of them is a madman. The question is, which one?

The DVD features audio commentary with director Victor Salva, a widescreen (1.85.1) version of the film, 5.1 and DTS sound and English and Spanish subtitles.

THE HIDDEN/THE HIDDEN 2 (Double Feature)
The Hidden
· Rated R for violence, drug use, sexuality and pervasive strong language · 88 minutes

A series of bizarre, inexplicable robberies and murders have an L.A. police detective completely baffled. And, it doesn’t help when a mysterious FBI agent tells him that a demonic extraterrestrial creature is invading the bodies of innocent victims – and transforming them into inhuman killers.

The Hidden II · Rated R for sci-fi horror violence and gore, and for language and a sex scene · 90 minutes

In this sequel to the original thriller, alien officer MacLachlan (Raphael Sbarge, Pearl Harbor, Independence Day) teams up with Juliet Beck (Kate Hodge, Rapid Fire, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3) to hunt for an alien that has been in deep hibernation for the past 15 years. But, when they finally locate the beast’s breeding ground, it’s too late – an alien has already spawned, and the rampage has begun. Featuring special appearances by Michael Nouri and Kyle MacLachlan, The Hidden II races to a shocking and unforgettable end.

The Double Feature DVD features audio commentary with The Hidden director Jack Sholder, effects production footage narrated by Jack Sholder and the original theatrical trailer for The Hidden.
