Christmas Comp #5 - Deadly Blessing - FINISHED

[iluvdvds@Cult Labs]

EXPLODING SANTA!!!!!! Take that fatty!

Today's competition prize is....

WES CRAVEN DIRECTS SHARON STONE IN THIS 80s HORROR CLASSIC.

Starring a stunningly youthful and beautiful Sharon Stone (Casino; Basic Instinct; Total Recall) in her first ever speaking role, alongside Ernest Borgnine (Escape From New York; The Wild Bunch; Marty), Michael Berryman (The Devil's Rejects; The Hills Have Eyes) and Maren Jensen (Battlestar Galactica), Deadly Blessing sees director Wes Craven (A Nightmare On Elm Street; Scream) moving away from the uncompromising ferocity of his first two features (The Last House On The Left and The Hills Have Eyes) and instead focusing on a far more brooding and atmospheric kind of terror.

In an attempt to distance himself from the strict religious Hittite community in which he was raised – one that rejects all the trappings of modern life – Jim Schmidt (Douglas Barr) has married a headstrong city girl, Martha (Maren Jensen), and left the sect. When Jim is involved in a tragic and highly mysterious accident, the close-knit community shuns Martha leaving her to seek the comfort of two old college friends, Lana (Sharon Stone) and Vicky (Susan Buckner), who come to stay with her during her time of mourning. As the three friends begin to unlock the mystery surrounding Jim's death, it becomes apparent there is a diabolical killer in their midst who may be hiding deep within the local God-fearing community.

Fondly remembered by horror fans for its many key set-pieces (particularly one featuring a snake in a bathtub and a terrifying waking-dream sequence involving a very large spider and a wide-open mouth that serves as a notable precursor to Craven's masterful ), Deadly Blessing is a tense and thrilling old-school horror film that is ripe for reassessment in an age when horror fans are more-often-than-not simply being bludgeoned into submission by barrages of grisly images served up as entertainment.

Deadly Blessing (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by Arrow Video on 14th November 2011.

Special Features
Introduction by star Michael Berryman; “Craven Images: The Horror Hits of Michael Berryman” – an interview with Deadly Blessing’s iconic star; “Deadly Desires” – an interview with screenwriter Glenn M. Benest; original trailer; Easter eggs; reversible sleeve with original and newly commissioned artwork by Rue Morgue art director Gary Pullin; double-sided fold-out artwork poster; collectors’ booklet featuring brand new writing on the film by author and critic Kim Newman; original 1.78:1 anamorphic aspect ratio presentation; original mono 1.0 audio.





Missed your chance to win before? Never won the weekly competition for Deadly Blessing? Won it, but wont another copy (you greedy b*stard!), then here's that all important (and not too hard) question...

Keeping on the Wes Craven theme, if you were to kick your feet and swing your arms into the air, move your head both ways, then jump three feet to the swinging beat, you would be doing what? [Besides looking like a complete idiot]

I know, I'm one of the "greedy b*stard's" Kyle mentioned in his first post. The only reason I entered was becasue I thought it'd be cool to try and enter all 24 this month, didn't really expect to win this. Will be looking to trade if anyone's interested (someone else already has first dibs, but let me know if you are). Failing that, I do know someone who could use it as a Christmas present

Thanks for the congrats though!

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Well done Paul.

What with already winning a copy of this the other week and the current season of goodwill and giving can you just redraw this comp Kyle to give someone else a chance to win it?
