GAMERA:
THE COMPLETE COLLECTION Limited Edition Box Set Coming 8/18
The
original hero in a half-shell returns! For the first time ever
worldwide, all twelve tales of the adventures of everyone's
favourite titanic terrapin are collected together in one deluxe
Blu-ray boxset. This limited edition collectors' set traces the
decades-long evolution of Gamera, from the "friend of all
children" in his more light-hearted earlier films, to the
Guardian of the Universe in the groundbreaking 1990s reboot series,
often hailed as three of the best kaiju films ever made. In addition
to hours of new and vintage bonus features, this includes a Hardback
120-page comic book including a full-color reprint of the four-issue
Gamera comic series originally released by Dark Horse Comics in 1996,
and the first-ever English-language printing of the prequel comic
"The Last Hope" by Matt Frank and Joshua Bugosh
THE
ELEPHANT MAN Criterion Collection on Blu-ray 9/29
With
this poignant second feature, David Lynch brought his atmospheric
visual and sonic palette to a notorious true story set in Victorian
England. When the London surgeon Frederick Treves (Anthony Hopkins)
meets the freak-show performer John Merrick (John Hurt), who has
severe skeletal and soft tissue deformities, he assumes that he must
be intellectually disabled as well. As the two men spend more
time together, though, Merrick reveals the intelligence, gentle
nature, and profound sense of dignity that lie beneath his shocking
appearance, and he and Treves develop a friendship. Shot in gorgeous
black and white and boasting a stellar supporting cast that includes
Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, and Wendy Hiller, The Elephant Man was
nominated for eight Academy Awards, cementing Lynch’s reputation as
one of American cinema’s most visionary talents.
THE
BEAST MUST DIE on Blu-ray 8/25
The
final horror film from Amicus, upgraded and uncut! In the swansong
horror production from 'The Studio That Dripped Blood', Peter
Cushing, Calvin Lockhart (COTTON COMES TO HARLEM), Charles Gray (THE
DEVIL RIDES OUT), Anton Diffring (CIRCUS OF HORRORS) and Marlene
Clark (GANJA & HESS) star in a '70s whodunit like no other. An
eccentric millionaire has invited a group of eight colleagues to his
island estate to hunt the deadliest game of all - one of the guests
is a werewolf, and will be stalked and slaughtered for sport! But who
is the lycanthrope, and do they have a shocking plan of their own?
Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in the HARRY POTTER movies) co-stars in
this "fast-moving and enormously entertaining"
(SexGoreMutants) shocker from director Paul Annett ("EastEnders").
Featuring cinematography from Oscar® winner Jack Hildyard (THE
BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI) and now fully restored - including the
infamous 'Werewolf Break' - from a brand new 4k scan.
