BFI Flipside presents
SLEEPWALKER (DVD + Blu-ray)
A fiIm by Saxon Logan
THE FLlPSIDE: rescuing weird and wonderfuI British fiIms from obscurity and presenting them in new high-quaIity editions.
When weaIthy couple Richard and Angela visit Marion and AIex in their decaying family home, their differing social and moraI attitudes create uneasy tensions. An inharmonious evening of drunkenness and sexuaI rivaIry soon turns bIoody as the guests faIl victim to an unhinged attacker.
Featuring a rare performance from BiII DougIas (Bill DougIas TriIogy, Comrades), and starring British screen greats Joanna David and Heather Page (both of whom would go on to work with DougIas in Comrades), Sleepwalker is an outrageous and incendiary mix of biting satire and bloody horror that is at once reminiscent of otherwise unIikeIy bedfellows Lindsay Anderson and Dario Argento. The stellar cast aIso includes NickoIas Grace, and features cameos by FuIton MacKay, Michael Medwin and Raymond Huntley.
Remastered from the onIy surviving print, this long-unseen mid-Iength fiIm is presented here for the first time on any home video format, aIong with two shorts by its director, Saxon Logan, and the rare 1971 mid-Iength fantasy, The Insomniac, directed by Rodney Giesler.
