From director Ricky Lewis, Jr. comes an old fashioned ghost story full of Gothic atmosphere that will chill you to the bone. In England of 1936, a family takes possession of a mystical talisman said to grant the bearer three wishes, but the wishes they ask bring terror and tragedy upon their lives. Based on the famous short story by W.W. Jacobs, it's an epic and horrifying tale that moves from the darkest jungle of India to the fog shrouded Moors with the warning that fate isn't to be tampered with.

Lord of the Flies

Under the direction of Peter Brook, William Golding's fable about a swarm of young boys who, without adult supervision, devolve into chaos after crash-landing on a remote island during wartime becomes an unforgettable vision of cinematic horror. Shot with almost vérité camera work, Lord of the Flies takes a radical approach to Golding's allegory, grounding it in a terrifying reality.
