From the mind of visionary director Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop and Starship Trooper) come two tales of transparent terror, Hollow Man and Hollow Man II. In Hollow Man, a team of scientists – the ambitious Dr. Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon – Apollo 13, Tremors), his ex-girlfriend Linda (Elisabeth Shue – Back to the Future Part II & III) and colleague Matt (Josh Brolin – Avengers: Infinity War) – have developed a ground-breaking serum for invisibility. Desperate to take their research to the next level, Caine volunteers himself as a test subject with horrifying results… Hollow Man II tells the story of Michael Griffin (Christian Slater – Mr. Robot), an invisible assassin gone haywire. Facing a slow death unless he receives a life-saving antidote, it’s down to biologist Maggie Dalton (Laura Regan – Dead Silence) and homicide detective Frank Turner (Peter Facinelli – The Twilight Saga) to take whatever measures necessary to apprehend this unseeable menace… Featuring Oscar-nominated special effects, adrenaline-pumping suspense,

Mrs. Marsh (Rita Corday) visits the house of smug asshair Dr. Wolfe “Toddy” MacFarlane (Henry Daniell), seeking a cure for her daughter Georgina’s (Sharyn Moffett) paralysis, which ol’ Toddy recommends surgery as the solution, but tells her he can’t perform it…just build ’em up and knock ’em down you learned douche-nozzle. MacFarlane’s other static comes in the form of his A-No. 1 student Donald Fettes (Russell Wade) who can no longer afford his studies…which Toddy solves by offering Fettes a position assisting in some sort of experiment he is planning…an experiment on cadavers delivered by John Gray (Boris Karloff), a cab driver and graverobber. Speaking of Gray, he has taken a shine to Georgina and blackmails MacFarlane to operate on the girl or else he will reveal the doctor’s “dark secret”. Soon Fettes is swept up in a wicked whirlwind of botched operations, murder, and (possibly) even the supernatural! Full of pitch black shadows and gloom, tortured souls, and a

Scotland’s most notorious serial killer and rapist, Angus Sinclair has died in prison. The 73-year old’s cause of death has not been released but over the last couple of years, his health has been declining as he had multiple strokes while he’s been incarcerated. Sinclair was called the “World’s End Killer” as it was later discovered that he was the killer in the “World’s End Murders” case in 1977 where Catherine Eadie and Helen Scott, both 17, were raped and murdered after being at the World’s End pub in Edinburgh. The case was cold but years later DNA evidence along with tips and good ol’ fashion police work determined that Sinclair was the suspect. Sinclair’s DNA matched the samples from the 1977 crime scene but in 2007 he was acquitted for the murders regardless. Unfortunately for Sinclair, in 2011 Scotland passed the Double Jeopardy Act that amended Double Jeopardy (a murder suspect can’t be tried twice for the same murder).
