Originally titled The F Word in Canada, where it was made, this smart young rom-com stars Daniel Radcliffe as Wallace, a guy burned out on med school and relationships. Enter graphic designer Chantry, who becomes a close friend… and, just maybe, could be the one. Girls‘ Adam Driver is a bonus treat as Radcliffe’s roommate. Extras include deleted scenes, a making-of and several featurettes.

Bernardo Bertolluci’s striking 1970 feature about an Italian police functionary — played by Jean-Louis Trintignant — tasked by fascists to assassinate his former teacher. There’s a serious queer subtext to this widescreen masterpiece, and a formative homosexual experience with a chauffeur. A major influence on films and filmmakers since, including The Godfather, it receives a sterling restoration here with extras including an hour-long documentary, trailers, and a booklet.

David DeCoteau is back with a tale of three horror film cougars vying to star in a new slasher film with plenty of hot scantily-clad beefcake. But is this actually a contest for survival as well?

While Upstate New York retirement community Crescent Bay may seem quaint and idyllic, new resident Ambrose — an abrasive, blind Vietnam vet — comes to realize a werewolf is in their midst. Can Ambrose, his son, and a shovel come together and weed out the lycanthrope before the next full moon? The English-language debut of Spanish horror director Adrián García Bogliano features some incredible old school The Howling-esque effects, grue, and even some heart (in the emotional sense).
