A teenage girl stops eating in eerie, femalecentric British horror (out now, Blu-ray). As the months fly by, however, she never loses any weight. (out now, Blu-ray). This vampiric double-bill comprises contemporary California-based horrors (1970) and (1971). We said: “Hand-held camerawork gives the essentially creaky tale an edgy energy… The sequel adds a sense of gothic melancholy and some sly meta humour.” Additional bonuses include new expert commentaries, a podcast tribute to star Robert Quarry, and an interview with fan Frank Darabont. Also revived by Arrow: (out now, 4K Blu-ray), David Cronenberg’s classic 1983 sci-fi/horror about a cable TV CEO who stumbles upon underground broadcasts of torture scenes. We said: “With its unflinching gaze into the murky depths of human desire, it remains as potent and thought-provoking as ever.” UHD format aside, the only new bonus on the disc seems to be the option to choose the shorter US theatrical cut. You also get a double-sided poster and six art cards reproducing lobby cards.
