"MAGIC" the 1978 horror classic arrives on UK BD March

SECOND SIGHT sprinkles its Magic on Anthony Hopkins’ 1978 horror classic with its first UK Blu-ray release set to arrive this March with a host of brilliant special features.

With the continuing popularity of creepy dolls on screen from Hugo to Annabel via the many incarnations of Chucky, we meet one of the original devilish dummies: Fats…the side-kick from hell. 

Adapted for the big screen by William Goldman from his best-selling book, Magic is directed by Richard Attenborough and arrives on Bluray on 23 March 2020.

Corky (Hopkins – The Silence of the Lambs, The Two Popes) is a shy magician who just can’t get a break, but when he introduces foul-mouthed ventriloquist doll, Fats, to his act, his star begins to rise. With the chance of hitting the big time finally on the cards, the pressure starts to get to him. 

In a panic Corky flees the big city, returning to the security of his hometown. When he reunites with old high school flame Peggy (Ann-Margret – Tommy, Grumpy Old Men), love could be in the air. But Fats doesn’t approve and he’s about to create carnage. Who’s really pulling the strings?

It’s time for some Magic…but beware, the demonic dummy will have you screaming for mummy.

EDGE OF THE AXE! Blu-ray out 27th Jan from Arrow Video

From cult Spanish filmmaker José Ramón Larraz (Vampyres, Symptoms) comes this long-neglected late 80s slasher classic, finally unleashed on Blu-ray for the first time ever!

The rural community of Paddock County is being rocked by the crazed exploits of an axe-wielding psychopath, who stalks the night in a black trenchcoat and mask. As the victims pile up, the authorities attempt to keep a lid on the situation, whilst computer whizz-kid Gerald and girlfriend Lillian seek to unmask the killer before the town population reaches zero.

Nominally set in Northern California but shot primarily in Madrid, giving the film an off-kilter, American/European atmosphere akin to the likes of Pieces, Edge of the Axe is a late entry hack-and-slash masterpiece from one of the titans of Spanish terror.

• English and Spanish language versions of the feature
• Original uncompressed mono audio Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack

ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP - Coming to UK Disc and Digital February

Remember to limber up and beware of bathrooms, as Woody Harrelson (Venom), Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), Abigail Breslin (“Scream Queens”) and Emma Stone (La La Land) return to the United States of Zombieland ten years after their first undead adventure for Ruben Fleischer’s long-awaited ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP available on Digital and Disc this February.

Experience an all-new adventure with some of your favourite zombie apocalypse survivors, as well as newcomers Rosario Dawson (TV’s “The Defenders”), Zoey Deutch (TV’s “The Politician”), Luke Wilson (Old School), Avan Jogia (Shaft), and Thomas Middleditch (TV’s “Silicon Valley”).

Set one decade after the events of the first film, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP finds Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), and Wichita (Emma Stone) working together as a well-oiled, zombie-killing machine with a new home in the now-vacant White House. These four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

In addition to the film’s on-screen reunion, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP brings back several fan-favourites behind the camera as well. Director Ruben Fleischer returns to the Zombieland universe after the blockbuster debut of Venom in 2018, directing a script penned by original Zombieland screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, in addition to Dave Callaham, solidifying ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP as an event ten years in the making.

A SERIAL KILLER'S GUIDE TO LIFE - A Review

“Thelma and Louise” meets “Sightseers” in the darkly humoured horror comedy “A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life”, which comes to digital outlets this month from Arrow films.

30 year old singleton Lou (Katie Brayben) is stuck in a dead end job, working in an ice cream shop in a seaside town. Still living at home with her overbearing mother, she’s become addicted to self-help books and audio guides, hoping they’ll show her a way out of her meaningless existence.

So when she meets a self-styled self-help guru named Val (Poppy Roe), who invites her along on a road trip, visiting various alternate self-development centres, she jumps at the chance.

But, it seems Val isn’t who she appears to be, as every place they visit, she leaves a trail of dead bodies in their wake. Seems Val is actually a serial killer, and Lou is now her unwitting sidekick, as they travel around bumping off the folk at the various hipster communes they visit.

Sporting a wicked streak of dark humour, and some amusing kill scenes, the film is perhaps a little slow in places, but proved a hit on the festival circuit. If you’re a fan of Sightseers, you’ll probably enjoy it.

The film is released to Digital outlets in the UK, as well as the US ans Canada, January 13th.
