About this deal

The set contains 3 versions of the film, the ‘Final Cut’, the ‘Director’s Cut’ and the ‘Theatrical version’, all have undergone 4K scanning and extensive restoration work, detailed below. The all-new bonus content for Five Nights at Freddy’s gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic animatronics and recreating the immersive world of the game. It’s kind of very barren where we were,” says Ekland. “This was the ’70s, so technology was not what it was today… extras would not be shipped in from Shepperton or Pinewood [Studios] or wherever they collect them. They would just use whoever happened to be around. School children, the hairdresser, the guy who owned the pub. So for a lot of those people, the locals, it was a great fun big event.”

Various theories about the exact identity of the voluptuous stand-in used for the scene have circulated for years, with the film’s music supervisor Gary Carpenter saying it was a stripper from Glasgow named Lorraine Peters. Ekland, who was outraged enough at the time about both the dubbing and the body double that she didn’t want to talk about the film for years, more or less concurs.The film's observations about religion, its purpose and use by people living in closed communities also feel remarkably modern. During the final act, in particular, there are many truths about the dangerous vacuum which religion is capable of creating in such communities. Posted by Phil on Sep 21, 2023 in All, drama, DVD/Blu-ray, fantasy, Film, horror, News, thriller | 0 comments The discs present a native 3840 x 2160p resolution image, in the widescreen 1.85:1 aspect ratio, uses 10-bit video depth, High Dynamic Range (HDR), a Wide Colour Gamut (WCG) and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec for Dolby Vision and HDR10.

I don’t think I was the only one [who felt this way],” says Ekland about the movie’s financial problems. “The general feeling was that this was very difficult to shoot and there wasn’t a lot of money. I think there are problems with the finances at some point. Not that it affected me, but I just kind of heard that.” Ekland’s Problems Were All Behind Her Christopher Lee co-stars as cult leader Lord Summerisle. Having made a career out of bringing his signature gravitas to everything from Dracula and James Bond to Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, the more obvious choice may have been to cast him as Howie. Broadening his horizons with a more nuanced character following his Hammer Horror run, his Summerisle proves to be the perfect counterpart to Woodward’s Howie. Both characters have the same conviction in their respective faiths, but their resolve manifests in opposing ways.Seriously confused, Howie attempts to talk to the local residents, but after a few short conversations he realizes that everyone is lying to him. Later on, he also witnesses a number of strange rituals which confuse him even more. When he eventually meets the wealthiest and most respected man on the island, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), Howie is stunned to learn that the rituals are in fact part of everyday life. Ekland also recalls that both leading men, Woodward and Lee, were somewhat distant during the shoot. “Christopher was incredibly serious with this film. He loved this film. He thought that it was the best thing he ever did,” she says. But she has put her own feelings at the time about their chilly relationship, the chilly locations, and the cold way the filmmakers replaced both her voice and her posterior, all behind her and has embraced the movie’s stature as one of horror’s finest achievements. Killer Animatronics– Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy transform from cute and cuddly into creepy and killer through a combination of costumed performers and cutting-edge puppetry.

A letter brings self-righteous police sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward, Breaker Morant) to a remote Scottish island looking for Rowan Morrison (Geraldine Cowper), a beautiful young girl who has disappeared without a trace. Howie promptly meets May Morrison (Irene Sunters, A Sense of Freedom), a local post office worker who mailed the letter to the mainland, but is told that Rowan never lived on the island and that her only daughter is Myrtle (Jennifer Martin). FIVE NIGHTS in Three Dimensions– FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S takes a two-dimensional game and turns it into a three-dimensional nightmare. I was finally told, when I was working in a play in Glasgow that it was a Glaswegian stripper,” she says now. “And I would say that if you look at the movements, it’s not a normal girl who’s just moving like that. She is working that wall and swinging that thing everywhere. So it was a stripper, I am pretty certain. I like my bottom better, but I didn’t want you to see it, so therefore, we went with her bottom.” Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.Justin also helms a piece in which actor Tim Plester reads a lost final monologue by Lord Summerilse from Hardy’s recently-discovered original shooting script. Performing in character, Plester mimics Lee’s commanding presence. The final new special feature is an interview with Ekland in which she reveals she does not have good memories of the production — she didn’t get along with Hardy, and her co-stars largely kept to themselves — but she’s proud of the movie nonetheless.
