  Pathology

  Pathology is a perfect demonstration of how the power of intelligence can overwhelm common sense. It is a fast-paced and confronting film, in which a group of medical students play a deadly game to see who can commit the perfect murder. The central Doctor, Dr Ted Grey who is played by the hunky Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) is invited into a world of drugs, sex and popularity as he is accepted into a mysterious group of Pathology peers. The students challenge themselves to try and disguise their methods of death, however all quickly spirals out of control when Dr Ted Grey, decides to quit the game, and the leader of the group Dr Jake Gallo goes haywire.
  If you love a gripping story, then Pathology will thrill you!

  Choke

  Victor Mancini is a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida, in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical re-enactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. At night, Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who "save" him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father's identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny and his mother's beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall, to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever.
  This film is well acted and a fascinating study of human behaviour; portraying the disturbing effects of a brilliant mind that has been ruined in childhood.

  The Cat's Paw

  The night cats are out on the streets of St Kilda - another girl is pushed from a car. She picks herself up and staggers precariously into the dark on her four-inch heels. A mysterious woman offers her help under the gaze of an unlikely angel. A bewildered man crosses her path and struggles to connect with her. Confused and desperate, she's forgotten everything she wants to remember and can only remember what she wants to forget. Christine Croyden's confronting yet touching play, The Cat's Paw, is a response to raunch culture and its biggest benefactor - the ever expanding, billion dollar sex industry.
