Hammer Films’ ‘Nightmare’ to Make Blu-ray Debut!
UK’s Final Cut Entertainment is set to release Hammer Films’ Nightmare on Blu-ray on November 28th. This will be a region B release, so a region free player is needed in the US, but this will be the debut of a classic Hammer Horror title. Nightmare is an interesting title because it’s one of the earlier efforts in the career of Freddie Francis. Francis directed a number of horror titles, quite a few for Amicus and Hammer Films, but really made a name for himself as a cinematographer. He won two Oscars for his DP work, one for Sons and Lovers and another for Glory. In addition to those two films he DP’d on titles such as The Elephant Man, Dune and Cape Fear.
Synopsis:
Janet is a young student at a private school; her nights are troubled by horrible dreams in which she sees her mother, who is in fact locked in an insane asylum, haunting her. Expelled because of her persistent nightmares, Janet is sent home where the nightmares continue.Special Features:
•Nightmare in the Making
•Jennie Linden Remembers
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
