The Profane Exhibit

Deep within the underbelly of Paris, there is a club which is the home of a secret, wicked society. At first it resembles an ordinary fetish or Goth nightclub, but within the cavernous building are many hidden rooms, one of which is known as "The Room of Souls," a private gathering place of the world's richest and most evil people. Their host is the elegant yet frightening Madame Sabatier. For their amusement each member takes a turn and spins a true tale of depravity.

Directed by Marian Dora, Ryan Nicholson, Uwe Boll, Yoshihiro Nishimura, Michael Todd Schneider, Ruggero Deodato, Sergio Stivaletti, Nacho Vigalondo, Jeremy Kasten, Anthony DiBlasi, The Profane Exhibit leans on a strong ensemble — Jiji Bû, Maki Mizui, Eihi Shiina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2013.
