Dream Demon

£8.99

Released: 22nd June 2020. A young bride-to-be’s anxieties over her upcoming wedding take on a horrifying, demonic form in this underseen 1988 “rubber reality” shocker from director/co-writer Harley Cokeliss (Black Moon Rising), starring Timothy Spall and Jemma Redgrave.   As her marriage to decorated war hero Oliver draws near, well-heeled Diana moves into her sprawling new London home where she starts to experience strange and terrifying nightmares. But are these blood-curdling night terrors merely the symptom of an unsettled mind, or the sign of something far sinister at work? Hounded by a pair of sleazy journalists (Timothy Spall and Jimmy Nail), Diana soon crosses paths with American tourist Jenny, who appears to have a strange connection to the foreboding house and its sinister past.    Long dormant on home media since its original VHS release, Dream Demon - a terrific blend of psychological horror and late 80s practical gore effects - has at long-last been stirred from its analogue slumber and arrives on Blu-ray, newly-restored from the original camera negative and in a brand new Director’s Cut!    SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 2K restoration from the original camera negative, supervised and approved by director Harley Cokeliss  Director’s Cut and Original Theatrical Version High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation  Original uncompressed stereo audio  Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing  Brand new scene-select audio commentary with director Harley Cokeliss and producer Paul Webster Newly-filmed interview with director Harley Cokeliss Newly-filmed interview with producer Paul Webster  Newly-filmed interview with actress Jemma Redgrave  Newly-filmed interview with actor Mark Greenstreet  Newly-filmed interview with actor Nickolas Grace Newly-filmed interview with actress Annabelle Lanyon  Newly-filmed interview with composer Bill Nelson  Foundations of Nightmare: The Making of Dream Demon - contemporary documentary taking a look behind the scenes of the production of Dream Demon, featuring on-set interviews with director Harley Cokeliss, producer Paul Webster, actors Timothy Spall, Jemma Redgrave, Kathleen Wilhoite, composer Bill Nelson and many more   Image Galleries Original Theatrical Trailer  Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Christopher Shy  FIRST PRESSING ONLY - Collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Anne Bilson, author of the Dream Demon novelisation, and director Harley Cokeliss & Reversible poster featuring exclusive newly-commissioned artwork by Christopher Shy
