(2025) Greg Luce, directed by Jack Perez.  If you had told me back in 1984 when I first started Sinister Cinema that someday (39 years later) a well-known Hollywood director would come along and make a documentary about my little video company, I probably would have laughed out loud. But one day in 2023, out of the blue, I was contacted by film director Jack Perez about just such a project...

(1930) Dorothy Boyd, Nigel Bruce, Audrey Carten, David Hawthorne, Frank Lawton.  This early British talkie, while a bit stiff, features a great cast, with Smith turning in an especially fine performance.  A murder occurs mid-way into the film, but it’s a mystery to the folks on screen...

(1929, Goldwyn) Ronald Colman, Claud Allister, Lawrence Grant, Montagu Love, Joan Bennett.  This is an amazing early talkie; it looks and plays much more like a late ‘30s film than something from 1929.  WW1 vet Hugh “Bulldog” Drummond longs for excitement after returning to a boring post-war existence. His wish is granted when a young woman enlists his aid in freeing her uncle from a suspicious nursing home...
