The Tall Man comes to UK disc.

Cold Rock, U.S.A., on the surface just a small town like any other. But it's residents are quietly living with a horrible truth: their children keep disappearing, leaving neither a clue nor a witness. Whilst the police are no closer to finding out why, some of the more superstitious locals whisper tales of The Tall Man, a legendary, mysterious dark figure who takes children away never to be seen again.

So when local nurse Julia (Jessica Biel - Total Recall [2012], Texas Chainsaw Massacre [2003]), wakes one night to find her son David's bed empty, all her worst fears are realised. Is the dark figure she sees escaping with David really The Tall Man?  If so, who is he and where does he take the children? And why do some of the town folk seem to know more than they are prepared to say...

 

Also starring William B. Davis (The X-Files) and directed by Pascal Laugier (Martyrs), THE TALL MAN (nothing to do with the character from the Phantasm films) is packed with plot twists and nail-biting tension, blurring the boundaries between horror and thriller like never before.

 

The Tall Man hits UK video shelves on DVD and Blu-Ray March 11th from Koch Media.

John Boorman season at the BFI London.

From the end of March and throughout April, the British Film Institute's Southbank theatre in London will be screening a season films by legendary film maker "John Boorman".

 

Not an easy director to categorise, he has produced many diverse works over the years, ranging from horror, to crime, war and science fiction and the BFI will be screening a broad spectrum of his works, including the Hill-Billy horror "Deliverence", notorious horror sequal "Exorcist 2 : The Heretic" and the offbeat Sci-Fi film "Zardoz" (yes, the one with a pony tailed Sean Connery dressed only in red underpants and leather boots).

 

Of course, if none of those appeal to you, many of his other films are being screened over the month, including classic sword and sorcery tale "Excalibur" and the action-adventure film "Emerald Forest".

 

The BFI's John Boorman season runs Mar 25 - Apr 25. Full details of these and other films in the season can be found on the BFI website at...https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/john-boorman

Lake Placid : The Final Chapter - Snapping onto DVD this March!!!

Horror icon Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street franchise), Yancy Butler (Kick Ass) and Elisabeth Röhm (TV’s “Heroes”) battle the most blood-thirsty, monster crocodiles on earth in the final installment of the Lake Placid franchise. LAKE PLACID: THE FINAL CHAPTER this March.

The crocs are back... and they're bigger, badder and more brutal than ever. After the deadly predators' last vicious attack, the government prevented their extermination. Sealed away in a nature preserve, they've been growing to record size, awaiting their next chance to feast on human flesh. Now, when a high school swim team takes a wrong turn directly into the crocs hunting grounds... dinner is served.

 

As the teens race to avoid the hungry reptiles, they become caught in a showdown between a rogue game warden (Yancy Butler, reprising her role from Lake Placid 3) and a demented poacher (Robert Englund). It's the last serving of hysterical horror in a finale that shows terror is best served raw.

LAKE PLACID: THE FINAL CHAPTER was directed by Don Michael Paul from a screenplay by David Reed. Jeffrey Beach and Phillip J. Roth produced, with Cherise Honey acting as executive producer.

 

The film hits UK DVD March 25th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
