Obsession. Def: A Compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion

High melodrama, creeping insanity and barely contained delirium abound in this dizzying tribute to the high tension thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock from director Brian De Palma (Carrie, Scarface, Dressed to Kill)

Michael Courtland is a Southern gentleman who seems to have everything - A successful business, a beautiful wife and an adoring young daughter – until a botched kidnapping tears his world apart leaving him widowed, bereaved and bereft. Years later on a trip to Italy, he meets a woman with an uncanny resemblance to his late wife but all is not how it appears as a twisted conspiracy threatens to unhinge his mental shackles, sending him to the knife edge of MADNESS!

A master class in mounting unease and clammy palmed claustrophobia, Obsession is a classic 70s thriller with an evil twist that will leave you speechless.

The Arrow catalogue which is found in the recent DVDs states that this will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray. How come it's only being released on Blu-ray?

Looking forward to this one. Dare I ask what aspect ratio this is in?

4:3 pan & scan:eek:



:D

You certainly can dare to ask and I shall endeavour to find out the answer!

You must be wrong. I am quite sure it will be in 2.00:1 Univisium. :scared:[












:D

Greetings!

Obsession will be in 2.35:1 widescreen.

Excellent, thanks for finding out for me. This is looking like a top notch release, and I'm about to pre-order.

I thought this was coming out on dvd as well. I don't have a blu-ray player yet and have most of the arrow dvd's.
Now i'm not happy as i'm a big fan of brian de palma films:(

**** for film and **** for the disc in the new Empire - nice full-page review from one of the better writers too.

Definitely going to have one of these.
