‘Seconds’ to Get Masters of Cinema UK Release
For those of us in the US John Frankenheimer’s 1966 sci-fi classic Seconds has been available on Blu-ray for a couple of years thanks to the Criterion Collection. On October 26, 2015 our friends over in the UK will now have easy access as well thanks to a dual format Masters of Cinema release from Eureka Entertainment. Like the Criterion release, Eureka has loaded this one up with special features and they’re actually not identical. Eureka has tossed in a few new special features to set their release apart a bit. Seconds was directed by John Frankenheimer and stars Rock Hudson.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
