Nightwatch (Blu-ray Review)

Square version of The Nightwatch Collection cover with an ominous red statue and a glowing flashlight shaped like an eye, from Arrow Video.Welcome to our Nightwatch Blu-ray review, where we dig into Arrow Video’s chilling high-def resurrection of the 1994 Danish cult classic. Before The Killing and The Bridge turned Scandinavian crime drama into an international phenomenon, there was Nightwatch. Ole Bornedal’s 1994 thriller didn’t just flirt with horror tropes — it dragged them into a cold Danish morgue, turned off the lights, and dared you to look away. With a flashlight beam cutting through corpse-filled corridors and dread oozing from every hallway, Nightwatch feels like a nerve-fraying handshake between noir and nightmare. Arrow Video’s new Nightwatch Blu-ray release doesn’t just restore the film — it revives its bite. Continue reading ‘Nightwatch (Blu-ray Review)’

It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful. The ensemble includes Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Finis Terrae is released on Blu-ray August 12!

 Cover artwork for Finis Terrae Blu-ray, featuring a stylized painting of four figures approaching a lighthouse under a dramatic stormy sky. Part of the Masters of Cinema series.One of the most important filmmakers France has ever produced, Jean Epstein was a film theorist, critic and a leading figure in the French Impressionist movement. Perhaps best known today for directing the first adaptation of The Fall of the House of Usher from a screenplay co-written with Luis Buñuel, Epstein produced several masterpieces during the silent period, including Faithful Heart (Coeur fidèle), The Three-Sided Mirror (La glace à trois faces) and Finis Terrae, the story of a group of fishermen stranded off the cost of Brittany. An atmospheric maritime tale and a forerunner to such films as Robert EggersThe Lighthouse and Mark Jenkin’s Bait, Finis Terrae is one of Jean Epstein’s finest achievements and an aesthetic triumph, particularly in its early and deeply effective use of slow-motion cinematography. The Masters of Cinema series is honored to present ‘Finis Terrae’ from an astounding 4K restoration by Gaumont Film Company.  Continue reading ‘Finis Terrae is released on Blu-ray August 12!’
