Weekly Comp - The Stendhal Syndrome - 28/02/2010

[iluvdvds@Cult Labs]

Helloo everyone!

Time for yet another weekly competition and today we're giving away an Arrow Video DVD! OOOOH YEAH!!!!!!!! The first off many Argento DVDs being released, we have;




Label: Arrow Video
Release date: 22nd March 2010
Release type: DVD
Certificate: 18
Running time: 118 mins
Pricing: £15.99
Genre: Horror
Director: Dario Argento
Stars: Asia Argento, Thomas Kretschmann






ARGENTO SR. AND ARGENTO JR. BOTH DAZZLE IN DARIO’S RETURN TO FORM.

Considered by many to be a remarkable return to vintage form for the Italian master of suspense and terror, Dario Argento (Tenebrae; Suspiria; Terror At The Opera), The Stendhal Syndrome stars the director's real life daughter, Asia Argento (xXx; The Red Siren) as Anna Manni. A young detective in Rome's anti-rape unit. Anna suffers from Stendhal Syndrome, a mental condition that causes her to retreat into horrifying hallucinations when confronted with works of art.

On the trail of a serial rapist and killer, she is given the suspect's whereabouts by way of a tip-off. But, unknown to Anna, the killer has discovered the secret of her illness and uses it against her, eventually kidnapping her and forcing her to become an unwilling witness to his crimes. Of course, this being a Dario Argento film, nothing is quite as it seems and the plot takes a terrifying twist when Anna discovers the true face of madness.

An atmospheric and chilling study of the effects of insanity and violence, The Stendhal Syndrome is full of the dazzling cinematic style and technical wizardry audiences have come to expect from Argento. Co-written by the director's frequent collaborator Franco Ferrini (Phenomena; Trauma; Opera), the film also features a haunting score by award-winning composer Ennio Morricone (The Untouchables; The Mission).

The Stendhal Syndrome (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (15.99) by Arrow Video on 22nd March 2010.

Special Features include: double sided sleeve featuring new artwork; exclusive collector’s booklet; poster; Dario Argento trailer gallery; theatrical trailer; English 5.1 and Italian 5.1 audio options.




OOOOOH FRICKEN YES!!!!!!!!!!


Now THATS an awesome price! Well, afterall it is Arrow!


But how the hell do you win some a great prize?

Well, ages and ages ago I asked Bitchslicer to help me with a competition, but one thing led to another and I never got around to doing it.

So, FINALLY, I can do that competition! HORRAY!


Below are a series of quotes, each from Bitchslicer's young son. They are the first words he said when he was shown several horror film posters. All you need to do is guess what film he is describing, in a similar way to that old TV programme.

So, here's the quotes...


1) "Why is that girl in bed with those knifes in her head?"


2) "Look at them funny heads on the floor with naughty eyes"


3) "Urgh, that man has funny teeth and worms on him."


4) "I don't like that clown with scary teeth"



Think you know the four films he's trying to describe? Simply PM (Private Message) me your guesses. If you get all 4 correct you'll be entered into the draw (I'll randomly pick 3 winners next sunday). If you get some wrong, no problems, I'll give you some clues.

Once again there's no limits to guesses and ANYONE can enter! Horray!

So, get guessing guys!


GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
