DIRTY COP, NO DONUT: SRS Cinema

Things get out of control when patrolman Gus Kimble decides to mug it up for the camera, showing off his dark side. Using his badge as a ticket for debauchery, no one is safe from Officer Friendly’s wrath, including hookers, drug dealers, sex offenders, partying teens, drunk drivers, pawn shop owners, stewbums, and abusive husbands. You’ll cheer as this underdog cop takes the law into his own hands and slugs out his own brand of justice to each and every perp that crosses his path.

GIRLS IN CHAINS: Exploitation Digital/Media Blasters

In a remote country house, a malevolent form of sleaze and terror is being bred.

MADHOUSE: Dark Sky

Soon thereafter, the bodies of Julia s friends and students mount around her. But is Mary actually the killer?
