1980 Slasher ‘He Knows You’re Alone’ Coming to Blu-ray for the First Time; Feature Film Debut of Tom Hanks!

Yes, even Tom Hanks got his start in the horror genre, making his feature film debut in the 1980 slasher He Knows You’re Alone. This year, the film is finally getting a Blu-ray release.

Fully detailed by Scream Factory this week, the Blu-ray will release on May 18.

In the Armand Mastroianni-directed slasher, “Now you see him. Now you don’t. The face of a killer appears out of the darkness and just as quickly disappears. A young woman has an eerie feeling someone is stalking her. Another beauty steps into a shower … and a bathroom door handle slowly turns. We’re in slasher-flick territory – and also in a rare realm of film history, because screen icon Tom Hanks makes his movie debut in this shocker.”

“The up-and-coming legend plays the brief supporting role of Elliot, a psych major whose musings about the nature of fear reinforce the tone of this twisted tale about a sicko who targets brides-to-be … and a detective who scrambles to stop the carnage. Wedded bliss can be very short-lived when He Knows You’re Alone.”

Bonus Features include:

  • NEW 2K Scan Of The Interpositive
  • NEW It Came From Staten Island – An Interview With Director Armand Mastroianni
  • NEW Shooting In My Own Backyard – An Interview With Producer Robert Di Milia

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.
