Mister Designer! Released in 1987 but set in a 1920s Tsarist Russia, a time of unfettered greed & autocracy, a tortured artist is in desperate search of inspiration for his next piece. He soon finds it in the most unlikely of places, going on a killing spree that becomes the source for his most popular new sculptures. As his reputation grows, suspicion begins to mount when every muse he meets mysteriously goes missing. Seen as a classier, more technically sound, & far more groundbreaking experimental chilling facelift (no pun intended) of Corman’s campy schlockfest “Bucket Of Blood”, Mister Designer is Soviet masterpiece of the highest order.

Sourced from the original 35mm film print, it’s pressed on a red clamshell with a numbered spine, with a reversible cover. Limited to a run of only 5, it comes with free shipping!

The Veldt! Based on the works of American master of horror & science fiction, Ray Bradbury (One of his most famous short stories serves as the films title), this kaleidoscope of terrifying tales weaves together some of the writer’s most chilling & philosophical works. From a futuristic & phantasmagoric children’s play pen to sleazy husband’s looking to a strange company that makes androids to escape their dead end life, this film submerges you in the subconscious of one of the world’s most feared wordsmiths, creating a creepy collection that collides into a psychedelic horror masterpiece.

Sourced from the original 35 mm film print, this tape is limited to 5 copies & has reversible covers complete in a white clamshell & comes with free shipping! These will ship on January 11th, 2024.

In the USSR the country may have been in turmoil, but the West, between the Video Nastys of the UK & the growing movement of practical VFX in cult classics like “The Thing”, an explosion of new horror was taking shape in the hands of artists like Tom Savini and young prodigy Rick Baker. With the midnight movies & grindhouse theaters in the rearview, these masters of horror were giving a physical jolt to a dead genre. Enter The Curse Of Snake Valley, one of the Soviet’s sleaziest horror sleepers of the 80’s. Another co-production with Poland, this oddity oozed with strangeness associated with Western sensibilities, fusing together the archaeological adventures of Indiana Jones & the disgusting creature features of John Carpenter to create a creepy (and confusing) anti-colonialist fable about of a haunted ancient relic found in the jungle that turns those in possession of it into unspeakable Lovecraftian mutants from beyond!

Seen as as a “spiritual successor” to Nightcrawlers comprised of the same team, this time Stephen McCoy compose the hallucinatory on a broken keyboard he inherited, while Nightcrawler’s producer Kevin Ronca stepped behind the camera for the very first time for his debut feature film… But in typical Write Brain fashion, the story behind the film is almost as shocking as what’s on the screen!

Coming off the “success” of Nightcrawlers (blacklisted by all streaming sites, most film festivals, & dropped by their agents for being unmarketable), Write Brain founders Kevin Ronca & Stephen McCoy were on a hiatus from filmmaking. During the Chinese New Year, Kevin took a vacation with his wife to visit her family in Foshan China, armed with a camcorder & hoping to capture some family memories… Only to instead capture the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic a full 2 months before the disease swept the world. Featuring some of the earliest footage of the panic, hysteria, & camaraderie that came in the midsts of a world crisis; Yang Metal Rat is literal fever dream through the technicolored lights of one of the most beautiful, densely populated, & surveillanced country in the world as it grapples with one of its greatest challenges yet… Allowing audiences to be a fly on the wall & witness a triumph of the human spirit.

Never-before-released on tape, this video was sourced from the original VHS-C tapes & is limited to 5 copies, with reversible covers on a red slab complete in a white clamshell & comes with free shipping! These will ship on January 11th, 2024.

In 2010, aspiring filmmaker Stephen McCoy graduated high school. Looking to craft his first film, he took his hi8 camera on the streets of Boston to the notorious Methadone Mile to capture the homeless addicts living on the streets. People he called “Nightcrawlers”. After 5 years… He became one. Edited by filmmaker Luc Benson from 80 hours of Stephen’s hi8 tapes from 5+ years of filming, this cinematic experience blurs the line between the director & his subject, with McCoy going from fly-on-the-wall observer to Nightcrawler, eventually hitting rock bottom in the last few minutes of the film with one of the most visceral & brutally honest finales of any documentary of all time! McCoy manages to administer to the audience a fatal dose of truth, both in spotlighting the despair of the human condition and the shockwaves the pharmaceutical wave left in the suburbs with the growing opioid epidemic.

Sourced from the Stephen’s original hi8 tapes, Nightcrawlers is a master class in cinema verite filmmaking & pushes the boundaries of human decency & ethical filmmaking. This tape comes with reversible covers on a green slab trapped in a white clamshell case & comes with free shipping!
