»The struggle to show HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES at the festival lasted about two years. The film was considered to be non-marketable due to its brutality. Today, that would be a part of its marketing campaign.«

limbo

limbo

When more and more bodies with severed hands are found in the rubbish-strewn alleys of Hong Kong, the police quickly realise that they are dealing with a serial killer who seeks his victims in the lowest strata of society. The different cops Will and Cham are entrusted with the investigation, not suspecting that the search for the murderer will lead them into their own hell.

 

Hong Kong's enfant terrible is back: With LIMBO, Soi Cheang embarks on a journey into the abyss of mankind and, after excursions into the mainstream, returns to his uncompromising cinema in the vein of DOG BITE DOG. In rain-soaked monochrome compositions of exquisite visual power, the megalopolis becomes a repulsive nightmare world in which brutality replaces communication and civilised society is only the shadow of a memory. In the process, Soi Cheang demands such relentless physicality and endurance from his cast that it hurts just to watch.

satan’s slaves 2: communion

satan’s slaves 2: communion

With SATAN'S SLAVES, Joko Anwar fulfilled a lifelong dream, broke box office records and was showered with awards. In the sequel, he now chases his characters into the next nightmare. Rini, her siblings and their father narrowly escaped a satanic cult. They now prefer a high-rise flat to their old isolated house – more people, no danger. But then an elevator pulls neighbours to their deaths, ghostly creatures are up to no good and there is evidence of occult rituals. The family is thrown right back into their trauma, and worse is yet to come.

 

The new setting, fresh characters and a more complex backstory make it easy for newcomers to find their way around the SATAN'S SLAVES universe and lose themselves in Anwar’s sinister visual compositions. This time he ups the ante in terms of macabre gothic flair, nasty jump scares and gruesome deaths. COMMUNION in fact overtook the first part at the local box office and ranks third among the most successful Indonesian films of all time.
