What The Devil Hath Joined Together Let No Man Cut Asunder! Before 1973, Brian De Palma was impossible to pigeonhole: he made comedies, political satires and openly experimental pieces. But with Sisters (originally released as Blood Sisters in the UK) he turned to the suspense thriller and discovered his natural home and a style that would lead directly to later masterpieces like Carrie, Dressed to Kill and Blow Out. When Danielle (Margot Kidder) meets potential boyfriend Philip (Lisle Wilson) after appearing on the TV show Peeping Toms (a nod to the Michael Powell shocker), she invites him home, only to attract the ire of her twin sister Dominique. From across the courtyard, Rear Window style, reporter Grace (Jennifer Salt) witnesses Philip being murdered by one of the twins but the police find no body or any physical evidence. Naturally, Grace takes things into her own hands, and discovers more about the sisters' relationship than she bargained for Strongly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski, and with a score by the great Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Psycho), Sisters was the first true Brian De Palma film.

Presided over by the bumbling mumbling Judd (and his pet croc which he keeps in a large pond out front) the patron of this particular establishment may seem like a good-natured ol’ Southern gent – but he has a mean temper on him and a mighty large scythe to boot… Oozing atmosphere from its every pore (the entire film was shot on a sound-stage at the famous Raleigh Studios which lends it a queasy claustrophobic feel) Eaten Alive matches The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for sheer insanity – and even draughts in Chain Saw star Marilyn Burns as the terrorised woman-in-peril alongside William Finley and Mel Ferrer.

A scary and stylish accolade to female destructiveness De Palma's first foray into horror voyeurism is a stunning amalgam of split screen effects bloody birthday cakes and a chilling score by frequent Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Hermann. Margot Kidder stars as Danielle a beautiful model separated from her Siamese twin Dominique. When a hotshot reporter (Jennifer Salt) suspects Dominique of a brutal murder she becomes dangerously ensnared in the sisters' insidious sibling bo

Brian De Palma's inspired rock'n'roll fusion of Faust The Phantom of the Opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray boasts an Oscar-nominated score by Paul Williams who also stars as an evil record producer who not only steals the work of composer/performer Winslow Leach (William Finley) but gets him locked up in Sing Sing - and that's not the worst that happens to him along the way. Few revenge scenarios have ever been so amply justified but the film is also constantly aware of the satirical possibilities offered by the 1970s music industry exemplified by Gerrit Graham's hilariously camp glam-rock star. Jessica Harper (Suspiria) appears in her first major role as the naïve but ambitious singer on whom Winslow secretly dotes. Prodigiously inventive both musically and visually this is one of De Palma's most entertaining romps not least because it was so clearly a labour of love.

The Phantom Of The Paradise boasts director Brian De Palma's trademark visual inventiveness and is an hilarious send-up of the glam rock era. Paul Williams wrote the acclaimed rock and roll score for this musical horror classic and stars as an evil record tycoon haunted and taunted by a disfigured composer he once wronged.
VIPCO proudly presents Tobe Hooper's much-villified follow up to his wildly successful 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. 'Death Trap' tells the story of a deranged madman who uses the guests of his rundown hotel not only to be victims for his demented thirst for blood but also as food for the crocodile he keeps under the hotel... Whilst 'Texas Chaisaw Massacre' was almost gore free and relied on music atmosphere etc. 'Death Trap' goes straight for the jugular and delivers the goods
