Black Sails Series 1 1715. The Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean is at its apex. The former British colony of New Providence Island is now lawless territory controlled by the most notorious pirate captains in history. The most feared among them is Captain Flint. But as the British Navy returns to these waters threatening to exterminate Flint and his crew another side of him emerges. Driven by deep complicated even romantic motives Flint allies himself with the formidable Eleanor Guthrie daughter of the local smuggling kingpin who turns the pirates’ loot into profits. Together they forge a plan to hunt the ultimate prize and by winning it stave off reclamation of their home to ensure their survival. Arrayed against them are a series of opponents: rival captains jealous of Flint's power; Eleanor's father whose ambitions for the island conflict with his daughter’s; and a young sailor John Silver recently recruited onto Flint’s crew who will somehow manage to constantly undermine his captain’s agenda.

From the imagination of Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) comes Crimson Peak, a lavish, stunningly realized journey into the dark heart of Gothic romance... Beginning in Buffalo, New York, during the 1880s, Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Stoker) as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer who is haunted by the death of her mother. Edith falls in love with seductive stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, The Avengers), who whisks her off to Allerdale Hall, his baronial, yet dilapidated English mansion built upon a mountain of blood-red clay. Here Edith meets Lucille (Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty), Thomas's sister who at times seems hostile and jealous. As Edith struggles to feel at home in the imposing residence, she gradually uncovers a horrendous family secret and encounters supernatural forces that will help her discover the terrible truth behind Crimson Peak. Boasting incredibly intricate and ornate production design and a rich visual style, del Toro's film is a grandiose, boldly baroque triumph of Gothic decadence, which expertly combines and contrasts the sublimely beautiful with the shockingly grotesque. Crimson Peak is presented here with a wealth of extra features, affording unprecedented insight into the making of this modern Gothic classic.
