Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault I Pierre Riviere a unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835 when a young man Pierre Riviere murdered his mother sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives including the written confession of Pierre himself and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of 'truth' and 'history'. Radical bold and uncompromising director Rene Allio's extraordinary work is at one and the same time an ethnographic enquiry an historical reconstruction and an unflinching portrait of psychopathology and its aftermath.

Based on a true story, Brotherhood of Murder is the sorry tale of Tony Martinez, an army dropout who becomes convinced that the downturn his life has taken is attributable to the fact that America's ethnic minorities are getting a better deal than he is. There's a ghastly inevitability to what follows as he joins a group of white supremacists who are funding a survivalist community largely through criminal activities. Eventually it's more than even he can bear, so he betrays the group to the FBI. Along the way, there are a few extraordinary scenes, such as when the group cleans out the cash register of a porno video store, leaving the proprietor unharmed but demanding that he remove from his shelves any material depicting interracial sex. This low-key but compelling production gives an insight into how such a strange and very ugly culture can arise out of ignorance and blunted perception. The disc also includes a trailer and a Synergy showcase. --Roger Thomas

Hell Night, a horror film originally made in 1981, is not remotely frightening unless, that is, you are plagued with a pathological aversion to leaden scripts, rampant overacting and cheap special effects; but it is just about knowing enough to be charming, and retains a (very) slight kitsch appeal. The plot--in the loose sense of the word--sees a group of picturesque young college kids compelled, for some reason or other, to spend a night in a haunted house (you can just picture the high fives at the script meeting when some genius came up with that one). Some other college kids try to scare them by way of a prank, but it turns out that something evil really is loose on the premises, and events unfold with entrancing predictability. On the DVD: Hell Night is presented in widescreen, and has been digitally remastered. Special features include brief biographies of actor Linda Blair, director Tom De Simone and producers Irwin Yablans and Bruce Cohn Curtis, as well as the option to watch the film with commentary provided by the four. The original cinema and television trailers for Hell Night are also included.--Andrew Mueller
