Crime Thriller

• Snakes on a Plane Limited Edition Blu-ray | Blu Ray | (19/01/2026) from £19.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  SIT BACK. RELAX. ENJOY THE FRIGHT. A viral sensation before it even finished shooting, Snakes on a Plane was one of the first major Hollywood films shaped as much by internet buzz as by studio edict. Stuntman-turned-director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2) delivers a delirious high-concept thriller that gleefully melds the disaster movie with creature-feature excess. Samuel L. Jackson (Deep Blue Sea) is FBI agent Neville Flynn, escorting a key witness in the case against a ruthless crime lord on a commercial jet from Hawaii to Los Angeles. But at 30,000 feet, justice takes a backseat when the mobsters unleash a writhing cargo of venomous snakes into the cabin. With passengers dropping like flies and the cockpit compromised, Flynn and a ragtag band of terrified travellers are forced to enter a fight for survival against nature's deadliest stowaways. Outrageous, shamelessly entertaining, and featuring one of the most quotable lines in cinema history, Snakes on a Plane is an instant cult classic that more than earns its reputation as one of Hollywood's craziest action-disaster movies.

• Taste of Fear (Standard Edition) | Blu Ray | (19/07/2021) from £12.26   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  During the early sixties, alongside its more famous Gothic horrors, Hammer also produced series of suspense thrillers inspired by the success (and plotlines) of Henri -Georges Clouzot's Les Diaboliques and Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The first of these was the classic Taste of Fear, written and produced by the prolific Jimmy Sangster. Set on the French Riviera, it concerns a wheelchair-bound heiress plagued by visions of her dead father, and stars American actress Susan Strasberg alongside (by now) Hammer regulars Christopher Lee and Ronald Lewis. The film proved to be a huge success for Hammer, its twisted plot with a tortured heroine becoming a template for their thrillers which followed into the 1970s.

• Secret Beyond The Door | Blu Ray | (25/06/2018) from £13.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  The Bluebeard legend has been adapted many times through the years. This classic film noir variation on the tale incorporates influences from Daphne du Maurier s Rebecca into the mix, with gripping results. Soon after architect Mark Lamphere (Michael Redgrave, Dead of Night) marries Celia (Joan Bennett, Suspiria), she gradually begins to suspect that he has a past life that he s been keeping from her. But she doesn t know the half of it, and when he leaves on a business trip, she starts to uncover the sinister secret of his purpose-designed house and its apparent surplus of rooms, the seventh of which is kept firmly locked. What lies beyond its door? From the strongly expressionist use of symbolic flowers and shadows in the opening sequence, legendary director Fritz Lang (Metropolis, M) stamps his artistic signature on every frame, helped by suitably high-contrast cinematography by Stanley Cortez (The Night of the Hunter) and a score by composer Miklós Rósza (The Killers) that insinuates itself into every emotional nook and cranny.
