It's a family affair! Brandl pictures have been producing independent genre cinema for decades from their Bavarian hometown region they rarely like to leave. http://brandl-pictures.de/

The film dates back to a 2005 project and brings together an intelligent conspiracy sci-fi story and low-budget action-schlock and gore.

A bunch of strangers wake up in an alien no man's land trying to figure out what happened and where they are. The locals are bloodthirsty mutants, hostile creatures, and demons that only listen to the commanding sound of the chainsaw. The only help comes from cyborg bots that seem to have an agenda of their own.

Within an anonymous European city, a determined local reporter and his doctor wife strive to evade hordes of ravenous zombies — the walking dead, victims of nuclear radioactivity. As military leaders wage a futile battle against these relentless atomic zombies, the couple fights for survival amidst the chaos that engulfs their city. A relentless battle against the forces of the undead in this gripping tale of horror. This 16mm print is brought to you by our friend Hexagore (on Letterboxd).

By 2022 earth is completely polluted and overpopulated (we can confirm now). Human kind is kept alive by mass-producing a food substitute named SOYLENT GREEN. The Greenhouse effect eradicated all vegetation (sit and wait) and hunger causes mass riots. Soylent industries is a not-so-trustworthy multinational benefitting from all this mayhem, until their CEO is found murdered. Police investigates – something fishy is going on. Charlton Heston stars.

STRAIGHT TO VIDEO
Straight to Video presents the ultimate video night every month at Amsterdam's LAB111 cinema. Insane cult films on original VHS, played from an analog video recorder, with glitches, trailers, blood, and beer! Beware, their presentation will be in Dutch, but the film in original language. As part of our festival’s theme 'Now We're Cooking!', Straight to Video brings their tape of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II” (1986), the notorious sequel to the 1974 horror classic. The Sawyer family (get it?) wins chili cook-offs with their secret recipe, unbeknownst to the judges that it includes human flesh. Obsessed Sheriff, played by the ever-intense Dennis Hopper, is on their trail. In an abandoned amusement park, the ultimate showdown unfolds between the lawman and Leatherface's chainsaw-loving cannibal family. Tobe Hooper returned to the director's chair more than a decade after “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974), completely changing the film's tone. The tension and subtlety of the original were replaced with pitch-black satire, outrageous splatter, and hysterical humour. Although the radical shift was divisive at first, with time, Hooper's vision gained recognition, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 emerged as a solid cult classic, hailed as one of the wildest and weirdest horror sequels of all time!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) [VHS]

Tobe Hooper, USA, 101 min, English, Dutch subs, horror.

Straight To Video presents the weirdest horror sequel on good ol' VHS-cassette: Tobe Hooper's ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2’. Chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface is up to his cannibalistic ways once again, along with the rest of his twisted clan, including the equally disturbed Chop-Top. This time, the masked killer has set his sights on pretty disc jockey Vanita “Stretch” Brock, who teams up with Texas lawman Lefty Enright to battle the psychopath and his family deep within their lair, a macabre abandoned amusement park.

Following a tragic incident where a doctor murders his mistress before taking his own life, his colleague Dr. Norman Boyle continues their research. Relocating his family from New York City to the enigmatic Boston mansion, strange occurrences unfold. Boyle's young son, Bob, becomes tormented by visions of a mysterious girl, forewarning him of the peril lurking within the house. A chilling journey into a haunting tale of darkness and the supernatural. This 16mm print is brought to you by our friend Hexagore (on Letterboxd).
