  Before he created Westworld and Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton first blurred the line between science fiction and science fact with his breakout success The Andromeda Strain. Two years after the novel's publication, Robert Wise (The Haunting) directed the film adaptation, a nail-biting blend of clinically-realised docudrama and astonishing sci-fi visuals that ushered in a new subgenre: the killer virus biological thriller. A government satellite crashes outside a small town in New Mexico and within minutes, every inhabitant of the town is dead, except for a crying baby and an elderly derelict. The satellite and the two survivors are sent to Wildfire, a top-secret underground laboratory equipped with a nuclear self-destruct mechanism to prevent the spread of infection in case of an outbreak. Realising that the satellite brought back a lethal organism from another world, a team of government scientists race against the clock to understand the extraterrestrial virus codenamed Andromeda before it can wipe out all life on the planet. Aided by innovative visual effects by Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey; Silent Running) and an unforgettable avant-garde electronic music score by Gil Mellé (The Sentinel), Wise's suspense classic still haunts to this day, and is presented here in a stunning 4K restoration from the original negative. 4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS ¢ 4K restoration from the original camera negative by Arrow Films ¢ 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) ¢ Original lossless mono audio ¢ Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing ¢ Audio commentary by critic Bryan Reesman ¢ A New Strain of Science Fiction, an appreciation by critic Kim Newman ¢ The Andromeda Strain: Making the Film, an archive featurette from 2001 directed by Laurent Bouzereau and featuring interviews with director Robert Wise and screenwriter Nelson Gidding ¢ A Portrait of Michael Crichton, an archival featurette from 2001 directed by Laurent Bouzereau and featuring an interview with author Michael Crichton ¢ Cinescript Gallery, highlights from the annotated and illustrated shooting script by Nelson Gidding ¢ Theatrical trailer, TV spots and radio spots ¢ Image gallery ¢ Illustrated collector's booklet featuring writing by Peter Tonguette and select archive material ¢ Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Corey Brickley

  Directed with clinical precision by Academy Award winner Robert Wise this compelling account of the Earth's first biological crisis is perhaps the most chillingly realistic science fiction thriller ever made. After an errant satellite crashes to earth near a remote New Mexico village the recovery team discovers that almost everyone in the town are victims of a horrible death with the mysterious exception of an infant and an old homeless man. The survivors are brought to a state-of-the-art laboratory descending five stories beneath the ground where the puzzled scientists race against time to determine the nature of the deadly microbe before it wreaks worldwide havoc. A trailblazer in the areas of special effects and inventive sets The Andromeda Strain is based on Michael Crichton's best-selling novel that created national paranoia for its topical relevance to the first moon landing.

• The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue | DVD | (27/05/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  TO AVOID FAINTING KEEP REPEATING IT'S ONLY A MOVIE.... ONLY A MOVIE.... ONLY A MOVIE..... ONLY A MOVIE! In a small town in the north of England an experimental pest-control device is being used with horrific consequences. Edna (Cristina Galbo) and George (Ray Lovelock) are unlikey travelling companions - they met en-route when she backed her car into his motorbike and subsequently offered him a lift to his destination. Stopping over near Manchester Galbo is attacked by a man that the locals say has been dead for days. Edna's sister Katie (Jeannine Mestre) is a prostitute addicted to heroin and when her husband is brutally murdered Katie is the chief suspect according to bitter local inspector (Arthur Kennedy). But Edna and George soon realise that inhabitants are being murdered as meals for the re-animated corpses of the morgue: the new pesticides used in the area are bringing the dead back to life and for sustenance they need human flesh. The Living Dead is widely recognised by horror fans as one of the best zombie movies ever made and the unlikely setting of pretty English countryside makes the flesh-tearing bone crunching zombies all the more shocking. The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue was made in 1974 by director Jorge Grau who gave an interview for the forthcoming DVD release by Anchor Bay Entertainment UK in which he talks about the characterisation special effects and the hostile reaction to the film by the British press . Also on the DVD will be several theatrical trailers (featuring many of the names that the film has been known by) behind-the scenes stills alternative beginnings to the film and hidden extras. The DVD comes with a 40 page collector's booklet about the film.
