Cockfighter(1973)

Synopsis

Frank Mansfield (Warren Oates) is a game cock trainer who has taken a vow of silence; he once bragged too loudly about his cockfighting prowess and ended up losing his best fowl in a drunken, late-night match before an important tournament. To regain his pride after such hubris, Frank refuses to utter a word until he wins the coveted “Cockfighter of the Year” medal. Cockfighter follows his ups and downs as he attempts to succeed in the shadowy, barely legal sport.

Dionysus in ’69(1969)

Synopsis

This adaptation of “The Bacchae” by Euripides seems to be a collection of black and white home movies using hand held cameras. The filming and editing was done by Brian De Palma, but nothing distinguishes the film from being a filmed stage performance of writhing and groaning amateur actors and actresses.

Babysitter Wanted(2009)

Synopsis

Angie (Sarah Thompson) applies for a babysitting job and finds herself on a remote farm before the Stanton family (Bruce Thomas and Kristen Dalton) and their little boy, Sam. But Angie’s first night of work might just be her last when she must fight for her life to protect herself and the child. But is everything as it seems?

Babysitter Wanted turns the classic “babysitter in peril” horror story absolutely on its head, and twists it into something entirely new. Suspenseful, funny, gory, and defying expectations every step of the way, this is one of the most enjoyable and critically acclaimed rollercoaster rides in recent horror cinema history.
