DEFCON-4
(1985)Two months after the planet is ravaged by nuclear war, astronauts Howe (Tim Choate), Jordan (Kate Lynch, 'The Twilight Zone') and Walker (John Walsch, 'Blow Out') are forced to return to earth - now an apocalyptic wasteland consumed by radiation and roamed by cannibal gangs. Forced into desperate pacts with unlikely allies, among them eccentric survivalist Vinny (Maury Chaykin, 'WarGames'), the astronauts must draw on all their resourcefulness to survive this brave new world. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to George Miller's Ozploitation classic 'Mad Max', 'Def-Con 4' is an inventive and action-packed low budget sci-fi romp, elevated by a pounding score by New World stalwart Christopher Young ('Hellraiser') and making its UK High Definition debut with this brand new restoration from Arrow Video.

The Adjuster
(1991)Noah, an insurance adjuster specializing in house fires, takes his clients’ wellbeing so seriously he frequently sleeps with them to provide comfort. His wife, Hera, is a film censor who finds excitement in copying explicit scenes from the movies she is assigned to review. When their lives intersect with a rich couple obsessed with staging elaborate sexual fantasies their secretive lives of artifice and ardour slowly begin to unfold... Inspired by the real life fire that burnt down Egoyan’s own family home, this hypnotic, dream-like tale of passionate yet dislocated characters has been compared to the films of David Lynch. It is quintessential Egoyan and sees the director at his very best.
