COMING SOON!
Drive in Double Feature: Search and Destroy/The Glove 1979
In SEARCH AND DESTROY, ex-GIs Perry King (CLASS OF 1984) and Don Stroud (PERDITA DURANGO) fight for their lives as members of their elite combat unit are picked off one by one by the embittered soldier they left behind enemy lines.
In THE GLOVE, a down-on-his luck bounty hunter (John Saxon of BLACK CHRISTMAS) buys a one way ticket to Hell when he tries to capture a vengeful ex-con (Rosey Grier) out to punish an order of corrupt prison guards with the torture device they used on him: a riot glove made of 5 lbs. of lead and steel.
Release Date: June 26, 2007

Who Can Kill A Child?
1976
On a vacation away from their family, Tom (Lewis Fiander, of DR. JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE) and his pregnant wife Evelyn (FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD’s Prunella Ransome) sail to an island off the coast of Spain that seems deserted… until its children emerge from the shadows with the blood of their parents on their hands… and hatred in their hearts for every adult.
Release Date: June 26, 2007

The Last Hunter
1980
War is Hell... and to carry out his top secret mission, one soldier will make a deal with the Devil.
Made in the wake of the success of THE DEER HUNTER and shot on Philippine locations left over from APOCALYPSE NOW, THE LAST HUNTER is an over-the-top example of Italian exploitation filmmaking at its most shameless... and unforgettable.
Release Date: June 26, 2007
AVAILABLE NOW!

Naked You Die
1964
There's nobody there to save you from this nightmare!
From the minds of Italian horror kings Mario Bava (Twitch of the Death Nerve) and Antonio Margheriti (Cannibal Apocolypse) comes this macabre tale of murder at an all girls school.
The corpses are piling up at St. Hilda's School for Girls, leaving top cop Michael Rennie (The Day The Earth Stood Still) with more than the usual suspects. Is the killer playboy riding instructor Mark Damon (House of Usher)? Peeping tom Luciano Pigozzi (Baron Blood)? Or how about hulking swim teacher Giovanni Di Benedetto (The Bird With the Crystal Plumage), whose wetsuit and dive mask make the perfect ensemble for slaughter?
Release Date: April 24, 2007

Dark Sky Films is pleased to announce the United States DVD release of ANTIBODIES, the epic contemporary thriller from director Christian Alvart (
Case 39) that has shocked audiences around the world. Don’t miss the film that
Aint It Cool News called “an entertaining thriller that puts its own spin on the tired serial killer genre”, and that
Bloody Disgusting said is “… dense, involving, surprisingly nasty… jaw dropping.”
Berlin police apprehend the alleged killer of 13 children, but prime suspect Gabriel Engel (
DOWNFALL’s André Hennicke) will speak only to Michael Martens, a small town constable (
ANATOMY 2’s Wotan Wilke Möhring) whose own teenaged son is manifesting the classic early signs of a serial killer.
Also starring Norman Reedus (
BLADE II) and Heinz Hoenig (
DAS BOOT) with breathtaking cinematography by Hagen Bogdanski (
THE LIVES OF OTHERS, 2006 Academy Award® Winner, Best Foreign Film).
This tense, violent thriller from writer-director Christian Alvart (
CASE 39) combines elements from the classic mind game thrillers
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and
SE7EN and was an audience favorite at the 2005 Edinburgh Film Festival.
The next edition of the DARK SKY FILMS newsletter will provide up to date news on the release of this soon-to-be classic; as well as an exclusive video from an interview with director Christian Alvart.
