The Wicker Tree - Coming to UK DVD & Blu-ray.

1973 saw the release of one of the most famous horror films of all time – The Wicker Man, which is now regarded as a classic of British cinema. Now, 39 years later, comes the most anticipated horror film of 2012 – The Wicker Tree. 

Once again directed by Robin Hardy and featuring a guest appearance from the legendary Sir Christopher Lee, this new haunting film welcomes us to a new terror.

A Texas gospel singer and her boyfriend, both devout evangelical Christians, are sent to Scotland on a mission to spread the word of God. After a concert in Glasgow Cathedral the pair are invited by Sir Lachlan Morrison (Graham McTavish) to preach in his remote border village.

They assume their host simply wants to hear more about the Bible and are delighted when offered central roles in the fiefdom’s May Day celebrations, especially their custom of the Riding of the Laddie.

But soon the horrifying reality dawns on the naïve couple as they learn the true significance of the Celtic pagan rites.

The film hits UK DVD and Blu-ray on April 30th.

Demons 1 & 2 - DVD, Blu-ray and Steelbook editions

Arrow Films are pleased to announce the limited edition deluxe versions of Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento’s blood-curdling zombie horror classics DEMONS and DEMONS 2 - released as Blu-ray, DVD and Steelbook editions, alongside DEMONS 3, an exclusive and specially commissioned comic book by Stefan Hutchinson.

Restored from the original camera negatives by Cineteca di Bologna, these highly anticipated horror cult classics breathe new demonic fire and unrelenting fury into Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento’s notorious and now-legendary DEMONS franchise.

Each release will be packaged with a variety of reversible and interchangeable original Anglo/Italian and newly commissioned artwork by Jeff Zornow, a double-sided fold-out poster, an exclusive collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the franchise by Calum Waddell, plus Books 1 & 2 of the aforementioned Demons 3 collector’s comic.

Originally released theatrically in 1985, Demons is a macabre and frenzied slice of gory shock tactic horror that splashes over the screen with a riotous x-rated violence, as face-chewing Zombies run riot in a downtown cinema, set against a pounding 80s Heavy Metal soundtrack.

Following in 1986, Demons 2 brings the hell straight out of the TV set into your living room. Out of the dark Forbidden Zone, the world’s ugliest zombies wreak carnage in an apartment block, eating the residents and spreading their deadly plague. This Italian splatter classic will leave you breathlessly in fear of using a television ever again!

“The Demons 3 comic book, included with these releases, is a new and exclusive instalment in the Demons franchise that effortlessly delivers the third part in the trilogy the fans have been waiting for,” says Francesco Simeoni, Arrow Films’ label manager. There have been many films over the years bearing the moniker of Demons 3,but none of them were genuine sequels. The "Demons 3" comic book sets the record straight.

Time to tool up and take no prisoners... The Demons are coming!

All formats (detailed below) are released in the UK on Monday April 30th.

Silent House - coming to UK cinemas

Coming soon to UK cinemas. Silent House sees Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), along with her uncle and father (Adam Trese and Eric Sheffer Stevens), preparing their long-time family summer home for sale, after being recently violated by squatters.

But broken windows and cracks in the plaster are the least of their problems when they discover they are not alone and there’s more than just mold concealed behind the walls. Over the course of 85 harrowing minutes, their idyllic isolated retreat is transformed into a site of horror as the family’s past returns to taunt then terrorize them, exposing a hidden and distorted history.

Silent House, a re-imagining of the Uruguayan film La Casa Muda, is told in real time in one continuous take, just as Sarah sees – and experiences – it and hits UK cinemas May 4th.

Daddies Little Girl - In Production

Australian Director Chris Sun recently got in contact to tell us about his new film "Daddy's Little Girl", which has just finished shooting on the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, Australia.

From the press release...

From controversial Australian Writer/Director Chris Sun comes Daddy’s Little Girl; a story about a single father, his bond with his six year old daughter, and his response to the most heinous of crimes.

Throughout history in Australia there have been many cases of child abduction, abuse and murder. A lot of these cases go unsolved or the abuser gets a basic jail sentence and is released after only a couple of years.

Daddy’s Little Girl is a touching story, influenced by some of cases from the Sunshine Coast, and producers want discussions and debates to start and share with the world that this problem needs to stop. Daddy’s Little Girl also talks about single parenting in Australia and how it is now more common today than past decades.

This film aims to pose the question, if you had the choice, what would you do, and what are the possible consequences of those decisions?
