Lost Soul: El viaje maldito de Richard Stanley a la isla del Dr. Moreau
Editor
Richard Stanley soñaba con adaptar al cine el clásico de H.G. Wells, La isla del Dr. Moreau. Finalmente, a mediados de la década de los noventa logró levantar el proyecto, pero su rodaje se convirtió en una batalla entre el arte y los intereses de la industria, que acabó con el director expulsado del filme. Este documental recoge la historia de una película que, pudiendo haber sido una obra maestra del cine fantástico, fue un fracaso estrepitoso. (FILMAFFINITY)
The Captured Bird
Editor
A darkly poetic fable that begins with a little girl drawing figures of people with chalk on the cement of a playground. She takes notice of an unusual crack in the pavement that is seeping a mysterious black fluid, which she follows to an ominous building. Inside, she encounters several bizarre phenomena, including walls that bleed black and tentacles that emerge from the ceiling to touch her. She then witnesses the birth of five terrifying supernatural beings that threaten the existence of her world.
The Theatre Bizarre
Editor
La premisa de "The Theatre Bizarre" es aparentemente sencilla: reunir a siete de los nombres más potentes operando en los márgenes independientes del terror y realizar un filme colectivo en el que cada uno dirigiría un episodio. El resultado es un carrusel del horror que por momentos parece trasladar el espíritu del grand guignol al siglo XXI. Con Udo Kier como inmejorable maestro de ceremonias entre capítulo y capítulo, nos zambulliremos en un festival de hemoglobina, miedo y náusea, que a ratos nos recordará a los cómics de la EC y otras veces al mejor Lucio Fulci. Lo dicho: siete directores y todos los colores de la oscuridad.

Co-Producer
Acting as both pseudo-sequel to, and remake of, Cutting Moments, Buck's follow-up changes the focus from the matriarch to the father... or, more fittingly, the many fathers... and the sins they pass down. Eschews explicit violence for a more psychological approach, to a no less harrowing result.

After All
Camera Operator
A darkly humorous black and white tale of a young boy, unable to fit in, finally realizing his calling while watching animals killing each other on nature documentaries. Raw non-sync early effort, interesting as an early and funny example of Buck's forays into continuing themes of painful isolation, suburban disassociation and the inherent violence that can follow.
