    Hammer's To the Devil a Daughter was the last film made by the once great studio. Clearly ailing, Hammer again adapted a novel by Dennis Wheatley, the author behind one of their greatest successes, The Devil Rides Out (1967). Unfortunately for the studio, films such as Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Exorcist (1973) had, in the intervening decade, radically changed horror cinema. With American star Richard Widmark echoing Gregory Peck's role in the far more polished The Omen (1976), the film seemed, rather than setting the pace as Hammer once had, to be very much jumping on the 1970's occult band-wagon. Christopher Lee is the satanic ex-communicated priest whose coven plan to incarnate the ancient demon Ashteroth, while a supernaturally beautiful Nastassja Kinski demonstrates the same willingness to disrobe as in Cat People (1982). Even so, this lacklustre, misogynistic film couldn't compete with Carrie and Suspiria (both also 1976) and Hammer thereafter concentrated on TV productions. Surprisingly, director Peter Sykes' next film, Jesus (1979), as well as being the most seen and internationally distributed film ever (with an audience of over two billion by 2000), is also the most faithful portrayal of Christ yet committed to celluloid. --Gary S.

  • Law And OrderLaw And Order | DVD | (14/04/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

    Hugely controversial Factional Drama in 4 parts each from a different point of view - Metropolitan Police the criminal the solicitor and the prison system. Groundbreaking in both its style and its damning portrayal of corruption in the British legal system; the British Police had never been portrayed in that way before on TV. The central premise of the drama is that it claimed that the Police and the criminals were not actually that different in terms of the way they operated. Caused a massive storm when broadcast on the BBC; the switchboards were jammed for hours with irate callers. Questions were asked in the House of Parliament concerning the issues raised by Law and Order.

  • Le Mans 1983 ReviewLe Mans 1983 Review | DVD | (09/06/2008) from £12.89   |  Saving you £0.10 (0.78%)   |  RRP £12.99

    The greatest endurance race in the world is the ultimate mix of high-speed action drama and skill and the 1983 running of the Le Mans 24 Hours Race was no exception. For the dominant works Porsche pairing of Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell this would prove the longest day with the 956 dropping to 44th after an early spin. It was only the beginning of a mesmerising fight back that would see the legendary drivers claw their way into a podium position and in spite of late mechanical woes challenge their teammates for victory. Despite a field strengthened by entries from Lancia Peugeot Aston Martin and Sauber BMW the battle of the Circuit de la Sarthe would once again be all about Porsche which filled the top eight spots at the end of more than 3 000 miles of high speed racing. There was drama all the way with the works 956 of Vern Schuppan Hurley Haywood and Al Holbert being nursed over the finish line with its recovering sister car just a handful of miles behind. In this incredible review of the record-breaking 1983 Le Mans 24 Hour Race you experience not only the racing drama and colour and atmosphere which surrounds this amazing event but also discover first-hand what it is like to travel along the Mulsanne straight at speeds of more than 230mph courtesy of cameras mounted inside the leading Porsche cars.

    The greatest endurance race in the world is the ultimate mix of high-speed action drama and skill and the 1981 running of the Le Mans 24 Hours Race was no exception. More than 50 thoroughbred racecars set off for almost 3 000 miles of fascinating competition at the Circuit de la Sarthe with speeds along the infamous Mulsanne straight topping 230mph. Le Mans legends Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell would lead the Porsche charge in the amazing works 936 but as always the 24 Hours Race had attracted an incredibly high quality of entry. Drivers like Hans Joachim Stuck Jochen Mass Hurley Haywood Eddie Cheever Jean Rondeau Bob Wolleck and more would be among those bidding to prevent Ickx taking a remarkable fifth Le Mans win. Tragically 1981 entered the record books as the first year in Le Mans history a safety car had been deployed to slow the field while the aftermath of Thierry Boutsen's horrific 230mph crash was cleared. Shockingly the safety car was deployed again a few laps later following Jean Louis Lafosse's fatal accident. This review of the 1981 Le Mans 24 Hour Race brings you the full action-packed story plus the colour and atmosphere which surrounds this amazing event.
