Eclipse

A remote cliffside house on the Scottish coast provides the weather-beaten setting for Simon Perry's eerie, atmospheric psychological thriller, adapted from Nicholas Wollaston's haunting novel and inexplicably blown adrift since its release in 1977. Tom Conti (Oppenheimer, Slade in Flame) stars as a bereaved brother troubled by memories of his twin, whom he saw die at sea. After returning to his childhood home for a Christmas celebration with his brother's alcoholic widow (Gay Hamilton) and her son (Gavin Wallace), things begin to go awry as dark secrets and sibling rivalries surface once more. Strange, unsettling and barely seen since it was shot nearly 50 years ago, Eclipse now finds safe harbour on Blu-ray for the first time in a new scan from the best available 35mm archival materials.
