  ! The Exorcist The story, both nightmarish and realistic, features an innocent young girl who is possessed by a terrifying entity, her mother who desperately wants to save her, as well as two priests - one who is rather sceptical and the other resolutely devout - who join in the fight against the ultimate evil, leaving viewers breathless. The greatest horror thriller of all time surprises and shocks viewers like no other film in its genre. Friday the 13th Welcome to Camp Crystal Lake. Its history is bloody, and its inhabitants say that it's cursed. It's the perfect place for a psychopath to start killing the camp counsellors. Director and producer Sean S. Cunningham's original slasher movie has spawned a phenomenal franchise and hundreds of imitators. With a charming cast (including young Kevin Bacon) and the creative use of sharp instruments by a stalker with an overprotective mother, this classic shock movie continues to thrill, inspire, and terrify audiences. Stephen King's IT (1990) In October 1957, IT wakes up and the small town of Derry, Maine will never be the same again. Stephen King brings all our childhood fears and phobias to light as seven children face unimaginable horrors that come in many guises, including Pennywise (Tim Curry), a living clown, who hunts and kills in the city's sewers. Years later, the surviving adults are brave enough to return to Derry to stop the killing, this time for good. A Nightmare On Elms Street Nancy, Kris, Quentin, Jesse, and Dean live on Elm Street, in the heart of a residential suburb similar to thousands of others - peaceful, clean, and uneventful... But for some time now, these five young people have been haunted every night by the same oppressive nightmare - a man with a hollow voice emerges from the darkness. Dressed in a torn red and green shirt, he hides his horribly burned and disfigured face under an old hat. Carrie (1976) Carrie (SISSY SPACEK, Badlands, JFK ) is a tortured teenager, ill-at-ease and totally unaware of her telekinetic power. When her psychotic mother and her sadistic classmates go overboard, she unleashes the most terrible vengeance, and unleashes hell around her in a whirlwind of fi re and blood.

• De Palma & De Niro: The Early Films Limited Edition | Blu Ray | (03/12/2018) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In 1963, Robert De Niro stepped in front of a movie camera for the first time. The resulting film, a low-budget black and white comedy called The Wedding Party, would take three years to complete, and another three years to be released, but it would also establish a hugely important working relationship for the aspiring actor. One of the filmmakers, long before he became synonymous with suspense thanks to Carrie, Dressed to Kill and other classics, was Brian De Palma. He and De Niro would team up again in the next few years for two more comedies, both with a countercultural bent. Greetings, the first to receive an X certificate in the United States, is a freewheeling satire focusing on a trio of twentysomething friends a conspiracy theorist, a filmmaker, and a voyeur played by De Niro as they try to avoid the Vietnam War draft. Hi, Mom!, originally named Son of Greetings, returns to De Niro's voyeur, now an aspiring maker of adult films, for another humorous glimpse at late-sixties society, this time turning its attentions to experimental theatre, cinéma vérité, the African American experience, and the white middle classes. Brought together for the first time and each newly restored by Arrow Films especially for this release these three films offer a fascinating insight into the early careers of two American cinema's major talents. Limited Edition Contents: Brand new 2K restoration of The Wedding Party from the original film negative, carried out exclusively for this release by Arrow Films Brand new 2K restorations of Greetings and Hi, Mom! from original film materials, carried out exclusively for this release by Arrow Films Original uncompressed mono soundtracks Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing on all three films Brand new commentary on Greetings by Glenn Kenny, author of Robert De Niro: Anatomy of an Actor Brand new appreciation of Brian De Palma and Robert De Niro's collaborations by critic and filmmaker Howard S.

• Scarface | DVD | (15/07/2002) from £5.98   |  Saving you £17.00 (568.56%)   |  RRP £19.99

  This sprawling epic of bloodshed and excess, Brian De Palma's update of the classic 1932 crime drama by Howard Hawks, sparked controversy over its outrageous violence when released in 1983. Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination. Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia. -- Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

• Sisters | Blu Ray | (28/04/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  What the devil hath joined together let no man cut asunder! Before 1973 Brian De Palma was impossible to pigeonhole: he made comedies political satires and openly experimental pieces. But with Sisters (originally released as Blood Sisters in the UK) he turned to the suspense thriller and discovered his natural home - and a style that would lead directly to later masterpieces like Carrie Dressed to Kill and Blow Out. When Danielle (Margot Kidder) meets potential boyfriend Philip (Lisle Wilson) after appearing on the TV show Peeping Toms (a nod to the Michael Powell shocker) she invites him home only to attract the ire of her twin sister Dominique. From across the courtyard Rear Window style reporter Grace (Jennifer Salt) witnesses Philip being murdered by one of the twins - but the police find no body or any physical evidence. Naturally Grace takes things into her own hands and discovers more about the sisters relationship than she bargained for...Strongly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski and with a score by the great Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane Psycho) Sisters was the first true 'Brian De Palma' film.
