John Woo’s THE KILLER returns to the big screen looking as lavish and beautiful as ever thanks to restoration efforts by the team at and

After a long, successful career murdering people for suitcases of cash, high-end assassin Ah-Jong (Chow Yun-fat) takes one last job before hanging up his fake mustache and sniper rifle for good. Double-crossed and on the run, Ah-Jong’s only hope for escape from the killer’s life comes from an unlikely friendship with the cop (Danny Lee) assigned to capture him.

"The mayor's office is now air conditioned courtesy of the Black Freedom Fighters of Chicago

Happy Halloween!!

Shout out to everyone who came out for the melted faces and gouged eyes of Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND, a glamorous and disgusting way to ring in the holiday.
