‘Black Christmas’ Makes UK Blu-ray Debut

Published

on

In 1974 Bob Clark established a new horror genre with his festive fear masterpiece Black Christmas. Now, over four decades later, 101 Films proudly presents the UK Blu-ray debut of this chilling cult classic. 

Last year Scream Factory released a wonderful Blu-ray edition of Bob Clark’s Christmas classic, Black Christmas, here stateside. Now, courtesy of 101 Films, fans of this horror holiday classic will get to spend this Christmas season with some 2K Billy! Full details below!

Sorority house Pi Kappa Sigma is preparing for Christmas but little do they know, ’tis the season for murder. First, the obscene phone calls begin and a girl goes missing in mysterious circumstances…then the bodies begin to pile up. Can the girls survive the holidays, and is the killer lurking closer to home than they think? Horror veteran John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street) leads an all-star cast in a holiday favourite that ushered in the slasher film with its tense sequences of stalk and stab and sadistic yuletide blood-letting.

‘Hokum’ Heads Home to Digital Tomorrow Ahead of Physical Media Release in August

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
