Eureka! Has announced its April 2023 line-up. Featured amongst this line-up is the Tense Japanese thriller known for inspiring the 1994 Hollywood blockbuster Speed; and there are four more tales of terror from the vaults of Universal Pictures.
Most well-known for inspiring the 1994 Hollywood blockbuster Speed, The Bullet Train is a remarkably tense thriller from director Junya Satō. Ken Takakura stars as a mad bomber who plants a device on a high-speed Japanese train, programmed to detonate if the train’s speed drops below 80 kilometres per hour. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film in a definitive edition for its UK debut on Blu-ray, from a 2K restoration of the original film elements. Available from 24 April, the first print-run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase.
Creeping Horror features four more tales of terror from the vaults of Universal Pictures, starring Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, and Rondo Hatton. A maniacal hunter and collector of wild animals uses them to dispose of rivals and enemies in the shockingly violent Murders In The Zoo. Bela Lugosi stars in a creepy tale of strange characters, secret passages and a murderer who masters the art of “mind over matter” in Night Monster. What started out as a treasure-making scheme ends up deadly for a group of people stuck in a haunted castle with a killer known as “the Phantom” in Horror Island. And finally, Rondo Hatton is “the Creeper”, a giant of a man used as an instrument of evil by a mad sculptor in House Of Horrors. All four films will be released on Blu-ray in a 2-disc set for the first time in the UK as part of Eureka Classics range. Available from 17 April 2023, the first print-run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase and Collectors Booklet.
