StudioCanal will add two new titles to their Vintage Classics line: Robert Fuest's And Soon the Darkness (1970) and Peter Collinson's Fright (1971). The two releases will be available for purchase later this year.
And Soon the Darkness
Synopsis: Synopsis: Young English nurses Jane (Pamela Franklin) and Cathy (Michele Dotrice) are on a cycling holiday in the French countryside. They happen upon a mysterious man, Paul (Sandor Eles), who seems interested in them. Cathy is intrigued by the man, but suspicious Jane wants to continue on the journey. The two split apart after arguing the point, but, when Jane returns to the village where they're staying, her friend is nowhere to be found. Frantic, she searches for Cathy. Will she find her in time? BRAND NEW 4K RESTORATION.
STREET DATE: OCTOBER 14.
Fright
Synopsis: Directed by cult British filmmaker Peter Collinson (The Italian Job, Open Season) and written by Tudor Gates (The Vampire Lovers, Lust For A Vampire), Fright has been cited as one of the earliest examples of what would become notoriously known as the "slasher movie". Starring Susan George (Straw Dogs, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry), Dennis Waterman (The Sweeney, Minder) and Honor Blackman (Goldfinger, The Avengers), Fright remains one of the most hauntingly atmospheric, genuinely creepy and fundamentally disturbing horror films of the early seventies.
Amanda is the young, attractive babysitter hired by the Lloyd family to look after their son one fateful evening. It isn't long before Amanda realizes she is being watched. As the night progresses, Amanda is gradually subjected to a brutal ordeal of unhinged terror that she may not survive.
