Definitely one of the best Transmission titles so far!

Bit of a stretch to imply Jackie Brown as a NY crime film when it takes place in Southern California, innit?

Miracle Mile

It’s love at first sight between jazz musician Harry (Anthony Edwards, Top Gun) and waitress Julie (Mare Winningham, St. Elmo’s Fire), who agree to follow up a dream first date at the La Brea Tar Pits by meeting again later that night. When Harry accidentally oversleeps and misses their planned rendez-vous, he heads to the all-night diner on Los Angeles’s Miracle Mile where Julie works, where he desperately tries to find a way to reach her. But when Harry unwittingly takes a phone call from a payphone clearly intended for someone else, his entire world falls apart, forcing him into a race across a rapidly unravelling city to try and find Julie, before time runs out for him - and for everyone else…

Presented here in a brand new 4K restoration in a world premiere on 4K UHD, Miracle Mile is one of the most unique and astonishing cult films of the 1980s, with its potent blend of romantic comedy, one-crazy-night excess, and nightmarish Cold War thriller shocking and enthralling audiences in equal measure since its release in 1988. A legendary ‘Blacklist’ script in Hollywood for many years before it would make it to screens, writer/director Steve de Jarnatt’s beautiful, terrifying vision is brought to vivid life with stunning night-time photography from Theo van Sande, heartbreakingly engaging performances from its two leads, and a propulsive Tangerine Dream soundtrack, before building to one of the most powerful and unforgettable climaxes you will ever see.

Let's Scare Jessica to Death

Following her release from a psychiatric hospital, Jessica (Zohra Lampert) moves to a remote farmhouse in the hope of making a fresh start. Upon arriving at the house with her husband (Barton Heyman) and their friend (Kevin O’Connor), they discover a mysterious drifter (Mariclare Costello) squatting there, who they allow to stay.

Yet Jessica soon discovers that their new guest bears an uncanny resemblance to a young woman who drowned in the nearby lake and, as local legend dictates, now stalks the area as a vampire. As frightening visions begin to haunt Jessica, she desperately tries to unpick whether she is suffering a relapse or if the ominous and sinister events plaguing her are in fact real…

Inspired by Henry James’ novella The Turn of the Screw (1898) and Robert Wise’s The Haunting (1963), John D. Hancock’s debut feature was largely misunderstood upon its original release in 1971. More recently, however, the film has enjoyed a critical reappraisal that rightly identifies it as an essential piece of 1970s genre cinema. Featuring a fantastic, tormented performance from Lampert and an eerie synth score, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is a dreamlike, deeply unsettling horror classic.
