• The Big Combo | Blu Ray | (25/06/2018) from £17.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Lieutenant Diamond (Cornel Wilde, The Naked Prey) is determined to bring down mob boss Mr Brown (Richard Conte, Thieves Highway), even if it means jeopardising his own career, but the feeling is mutual and the unscrupulous gangster is more than willing to operate outside the law to get his man. The confrontation escalates, leading to some wince-inducing set-pieces involving such handy props as a radio and a hearing aid. This masterpiece from Joseph H. Lewis (Gun Crazy, Terror in a Texas Town), drenched with sleazy innuendo, came late to the film noir cycle, but is now considered one of the defining examples of the genre, not least thanks to some extraordinary chiaroscuro lighting by the great cinematographer John Alton (already an Oscar-winner for An American in Paris) and a heartbreaking performance by Jean Wallace (No Blade of Grass) as Brown s troubled girlfriend. The film also boasts a menacing early performance from a pre-stardom Lee Van Cleef (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) as one of Brown s henchmen. When the film was revived in London in the mid-seventies, a polemically breathless Time Out review called it almost certainly the greatest movie ever made... as heady as amyl nitrate andas compulsive as stamping on insects .

  In 1998, director Hideo Nakata (Dark Water) unleashed a chilling tale of technological terror on unsuspecting audiences, which redefined the horror genre, launched the J-horror boom in the West and introduced a generation of moviegoers to a creepy, dark-haired girl called Sadako. The film's success spawned a slew of remakes, reimaginations and imitators, but none could quite boast the power of Nakata's original masterpiece, which melded traditional Japanese folklore with contemporary anxieties about the spread of technology. A group of teenage friends are found dead, their bodies grotesquely contorted, their faces twisted in terror. Reiko (Nanako Matsushima, When Marnie Was There), a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse Arrow Video is proud to present Ringu, the film that started it all, restored from the original negative in glorious 4K and supplemented by a wealth of bonus materials. 4K ULTRA HD SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS ¢ 4K restoration from the original camera negative by Arrow Films ¢ 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) ¢ Lossless Japanese DTS-HD master audio 5.1 and PCM 2.0 soundtracks ¢ Optional English subtitles ¢ Audio commentary by film historian David Kalat ¢ The Ringu Legacy a series of interviews from critics and filmmakers on their memories of the Ringu series and its enduring legacy ¢ A Vicious Circle a video interview with author and critic Kat Ellinger on the career of Hideo Nakata ¢ Circumnavigating Ringu a video essay by author and critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas on the evolution of the Ringu series ¢ Spooks, Sighs and Videotape a video essay by critic Jasper Sharp on the J-horror phenomenon ¢ Sadako's video ¢ Theatrical trailers ¢ Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options
