2007  
 
With a narrative that recalls both Don's Party and Milou en Mai - albeit with a heightened level of earthy Spanish flair added - Antonio Hernandez's black comedy-cum-political satire El Menor de los males (AKA The Lesser Evil) unfolds in the autonomous Spanish community of Galicia, where a bunch of characters gather for a riotous weekend at a country estate. At the center of it all is a politician trapped helplessly between two women - his loudmouthed older sister, and a jilted mistress who exhibits a flair and a taste for blackmail. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

In the stomach-turning tradition of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hostel, and Jeepers Creepers comes the direct-to-video slasherfest Blood Ranch, starring James Fitzpatrick, Madeleine Lindley, Dayton Knoll, and Daniel O'Meara. A group of co-eds on a cross-country desert journey save a young woman from an imposing black van. Shortly afterward, their car mysteriously breaks down and they are forced to seek asylum at a nearby ranch. Little do they realize that it houses denizens of "The Web" -- a twisted allegiance of psychopaths, sexual predators, and mentally impaired subhuman maniacs who devote their lives to finding unsuspecting young men and women to systematically imprison, torture, and dismember. Their latest captors will be forced to claw their way out in a bloody battle to the death -- if they hope to ever see the outside world again. Corbin Timbrook directs, from a script by Antonio Hernandez. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Add The Borgias to Queue Add The Borgias to top of Queue  
The story of Spain's most infamous family is brought to the screen with surprising subtlety in this historical drama. Near the end of the 15th century, the Borgias are one of the most wealthy families in Europe, with their numbers divided between Spain and Italy, and when Rodrigo Borgia (Lluis Homar) is elected as Pope, his three sons -- Cesar (Sergio Peris-Mencheta), Juan (Sergio Muniz), and Jofre (Eloy Azorin) -- find themselves raised to positions of power as their father arranges politically advantageous marriages for them. Rodrigo's daughter Lucrecia (Maria Valverde) is also used as a bargaining chip when he persuades her to wed Giovanni Sforza, the favored son of a family often in opposition to the Borgias. While Rodrigo benefits from these alliances, his children do not -- Cesar's dreams of serving in the military are dashed when he is made to join his father in the church, Juan's time in the Army is full of unhappy consequences, Jofre's marriage to Sancha of Aragon (Linda Batista) is not fated to be a happy one, and murder stains the lives of most of the family. Originally shot as a mini-series for television, The Borgias (aka Los Borgia) was reedited for theatrical release in Spain, where it became a success at the box office. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Max (Fernando Fernán Gómez), the wealthy family patriarch and head of a pharmaceuticals business, is dying of cancer and has relocated from Madrid to a Paris hospital for treatment. The members of his family, including his wife, Marie (Geraldine Chaplin), have gathered around him there.

He sees Max, who is becoming incoherent and confused, secretly throwing away his medicine, pretending to sleep, and attempting to escape from the hospital. Victor notices that Max appears to be afraid of something, but he can't tell if his fear is well founded or if he is just delusional. In the midst of family conflict and questions about the inheritance, Victor helps Max search for answers about a mysterious figure from his past who may or may not exist, while encountering opposition from other family members. ~ Todd Kristel, Rovi
