1974’s Controversial Film ‘The Night Porter’ Getting A 4K Restoration Release
CultFilms has now announced the 4K restoration of Liliana Cavani‘s highly controversial 1974 thriller The Night Porter. In the film, “former SS Officer Max (Dirk Bogarde) is a night porter in a Vienna hotel in the 1950s, and a member of a group of covert Nazis who is ruthlessly covering up the atrocities they committed. When beautiful Lucia (Charlotte Rampling) checks in with her husband, she recognizes the night porter from her traumatic past: Max was an officer in the concentration camp who had abused and tortured her when she was his teenage prisoner. Soon Lucia’s husband leaves the hotel for work and Lucia stays behind, finding herself compelled to re-ignite the sadomasochistic relationship she had with her vicious captor.” The Night Porter has been controversial since its initial release in 1974, with Roger Ebert describing the film as ‘a despicable attempt to titillate us by exploiting memories of persecution and suffering’.

Lucifer Himself Confirms ‘Constantine’ Sequel Is In The Works!
Peter Stormare starred as Lucifer in 2005’s supernatural horror Constantine, giving one of the portrayals of Lucifer ever captured on screen. It appears that he has just confirmed that a Constantine sequel is indeed in the works! Stormare has taken to Instagram, posting a picture of himself as Lucifer with the simple caption “Sequel in the works.” While Stormare is the first person “directly involved” to speak out according to Screenrant.com, J.J. Abrams hinted earlier this year that he and director Francis Lawrence (Hunger Games) would return if ever a sequel was made. So we’re keeping our fingers crossed. The 2005 film adaptation of the comic of the same name starred Keanu Reeves as Constantine and Rachel Weiz as Angela. The cast also included Tilda Swinton, Djimon Hounsou, Shia LeBeouf, Pruitt Taylor, and Gavin Rossdale. In the film, an exorcist and demonologist John Constantine sets how to help a policewoman to prove that her sister’s death is not a suicide,

Blu-ray Review: Lake Michigan Monster (2018)
Lake Michigan Monster concerns the adventures of Captain Seafield (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, who also co-wrote/directed the picture); a man obsessed with the monster he believes killed his father in the shallow depths of Lake Michigan… though the details of said event are rather mutable in our hero’s constantly shifting narrative. Anyhow, that slap-happy seaman assembles a crack team to find and dispatch the beast… a team who’s ranks include: sonar expert Nedge Pepsi (Beulah Peters), weapons master Sean Shaughnessy (Erick West), and former N.A.V.Y. (Nautical Athletes and Venture Yunit) man Dick Flynn (Daniel Long). Of course Seafield is pretty much a complete moron, and his epic plans, which feature such grandiose titles as ‘Operation Master Baiters’ and ‘Operation Naughty Lady’, are pretty much a complete bust from the get-go; but still he soldiers on no matter how many monsters and madmen (besides himself) stand in his way! Lake Michigan Monster is an insane love letter to late ’50s/early ’60s
