In 1947, Rancher William “Mac” Brazel discovered what looked like a crashed alien spacecraft in Roswell, New Mexico. After reporting his find to Air Force Intelligence officer Jessie Marcel at the Roswell air base, the wreckage was reportedly flown to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Some say it still exists there in Hangar 18…others say it’s now at Area 51 in Nevada. Is this crash a figment of overactive imaginations? The U.S. Government isn’t talking about it. But, lots and lots of people are...

Did you know that a UFO sighting occurs somewhere every three minutes? If you have ever questioned whether real life is stranger than fiction, put your doubts behind you as the filmmakers who brought you the comedy hit TREKKIES take on Roswell, New Mexico, the town famous for extra-terrestrial encounters and government cover ups.

Richard Kronfeld lives in Minnesota and has dreamed for years of traveling to Roswell, New Mexico to research alien abductions and, maybe, even contact an alien intelligence himself. All his friends have moved on and accomplished things in their lives - Kronfeld sees this trip as a way for him to take action for once in his life. The cameras follow Kronfeld as he makes his pilgrimage to the shrine called Roswell. Spend six days in a rented Coachman with two dogs, a film crew, UFO experts and an overdose of alien abductees. Documenting the fanatic-like following that has sprung up around reported extra-terrestrial encounters, SIX DAYS IN ROSWELL is a record of one man’s hilarious journey in search of the unknown and a journey in search of himself. This is the perfect DVD addition to any science-fiction fan’s video library. Fans of Fox’s THE X-FILES and the WB’s ROSWELL will certainly enjoy this sci-fi comedy hit!

Leni Riefenstahl’s classic piece of historical filmmaking, filmed during the 1934 Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg, Germany, is considered by many to be one of the most important and controversial films ever made. The film, realized by Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, was created to influence all of Germany to support the “power” of the Nazi Party. Funded entirely by the N.S.D.A.P. (the Nazi Party), Hitler hired the young actress/director Leni Riefenstahl to direct. Money was unlimited, so Riefenstahl was eating and sleeping in the editing room with hundreds of thousands of feet of film for almost a full year. Sets were especially built to accommodate cameras and Hitler was filmed separately from the crowds so Riefenstahl could edit together a film that would manipulate imagery and seduce the mind.

In the early 21st century, teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 17 begin dying all over the world. Shortly before they die, girls succumb to NDH (Near Death Happiness), a “pre-death” state of absolute bliss and joy. Once dead, a girl comes back as a flesh-eating zombie and nicknamed a “Stacy”.

The world is in chaos. Countries suffer from famine, war and zero-population growth because of this teenage death-epidemic. To keep the zombies from returning and eating innocent people, families are urged to kill their daughters before they are allowed to die by this mysterious disease (chopping them up and leaving them in garbage bags for government-sanctioned pick-up). In a Japanese military base, some undead schoolgirls are held and tested by a scientist who tries to unlock the secrets behind the girls’ return from the dead. But the world turns upside down yet again as a soldier, in a fit of depression, lets the girls free to storm the base and devour anyone in their path…

Based on the popular Japanese novel by Kenji Otsuki, STACY is a bloodbath of extreme gore effects and comedy with elements of RESIDENT EVIL and George A. Romero’s classic DAY OF THE DEAD.

This release is the third film in Synapse Films’ popular Asian Cult Cinema Collection. Look for more Asian DVD releases coming later this year!
