Australian label Imprint Films has informed us that it is launching a new series, British Bloodline, and Volume One, a five-disc box set, is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 25.
Description: These carefully curated hardboxes will lead you by the hand into the twisted annals of British cinema, down dark alleys and through contorted minds. This first volume features four performances starring screen legend Joan Collins, both as tormentor and as a tormented soul in these exhilarating 70s thrillers:
REVENGE
Released in the US as Inn of the Frightened People, director Sidney Hayers (Night of the Eagle) helmed this taut thriller starring Joan Collins, James Booth, and Sinéad Cusack.
Unsatisfied by the police response to the rape and murder of his daughter, Jim Radford takes matters into his own hands, abducting the prime suspect and locking him in the cellar of his pub. But as the family debates what to do with him, and the question of whether they even have the right man hangs over everything, the situation begins to spiral dangerously out of control. Also released as Terror from Under the House and Behind the Cellar Door, Peter Rogers (known for the Carry On… series) produced this morally troubling picture for the Rank Organisation as part of a special agreement, a bold departure from his usual comedic focus.
QUEST FOR LOVE
A twisted sci-fi drama from director Ralph Thomas (Carry On Regardless, Some Girls Do), Quest for Love stars Tom Bell (The Krays), Joan Collins, and Denholm Elliott (Raiders of the Lost Ark), making its worldwide Blu-ray debut in a brand NEW restoration.
After physicist Colin Trafford demonstrates an experimental particle accelerator, he finds himself trapped in an alternate reality where WWII never happened, mankind has not been to space, and Everest has not been conquered. In this world, he is not a man of science, but an alcoholic, womanising author, with a beautiful wife, Ottilie. When he suddenly returns to his own world, time is running out to find Ottilie and save her life. Based on the short story Random Quest by the author of The Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham, Joan Collins cited Quest for Love in a 2015 interview as among her proudest performances.
DARK PLACES
Robert Hardy, Christopher Lee, and Joan Collins take us to Dark Places in this psychological 70s horror from director Don Sharp (The Kiss of the Vampire).
When former psychiatric patient Edward Foster inherits a crumbling mansion from a fellow inmate (who murdered his wife and children within its walls), he finds himself increasingly possessed by the dead man's spirit. Meanwhile, a few locals conspire to steal a large amount of money, said to be hidden somewhere on the premises. Also starring Herbert Lom (The Ladykillers), this "Hammerish horror" (Monthly Film Bulletin) was filmed on location at an old asylum, with the film described by the Daily Breeze as "a masterpiece of its kind... an intense psychological thriller that keeps your eyes glued to the screen".
THE MONSTER
A film of many titles, unhinged British horror The Monster is also known as I Don't Want to Be Born, Sharon's Baby, and The Devil Within Her, and makes its worldwide 4K Blu-ray debut in a brand NEW restoration from Imprint Films!
Starring a veritable assortment of British screen legends, including Joan Collins, Ralph Bates, Eileen Atkins, Donald Pleasence, Hilary Mason, and Caroline Munro, this supernatural terror from director Peter Sasdy (Countess Dracula, Hands of the Ripper) follows a woman whose infant son has been possessed by the devil. Lucy Carlesi is a former exotic dancer who is cursed by dwarf performer Hercules. When her baby is born unnaturally large and immediately violent, it becomes clear that something deeply wrong has followed him into the world. As the body count rises, Lucy seeks help from a nun experienced with darker forces to confront the evil inside her child.
A must-see entry in the post-Exorcist British horror cycle, this wild shocker sits alongside Rosemary's Baby and It's Alive as one of the era's most memorably deranged takes on the terror of new motherhood.
