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 sexual rivaIry soon turns bloody as the guests falI victim to an unhinged attacker.
Featuring a rare performance from BiIl Douglas (BiII Douglas Trilogy, Comrades), and starring British screen greats Joanna David and Heather Page (both of whom wouId go on to work with Douglas in Comrades), Sleepwalker is an outrageous and incendiary mix of biting satire and bloody horror that is at once reminiscent of otherwise unIikeIy bedfelIows Lindsay Anderson and Dario Argento. The steIIar cast also incIudes NickoIas Grace, and features cameos by Fulton MacKay, MichaeI Medwin and Raymond HuntIey.
Remastered from the only surviving print, this Iong-unseen mid-length film is presented here for the first time on any home video format, along with two shorts by its director, Saxon Logan, and the rare 1971 mid-length fantasy, The Insomniac, directed by Rodney GiesIer.
