The Thing From Another World
Hollywood legend
Howard Hawks was the producer (and uncredited director) behind this seminal
monster movie that effectively kick-started the alien sci-fi horror boom of
the 50s. Scientists discover an alien craft and its pilot buried in ice in the
arctic. When the alien thaws, the scientists face grisly consequences.
Later remade by John Carpenter in a gorier version, this is the definitive original. John Carpenter provides an exclusive audio commentary and the 2 DVD edition features a restored print and a colourised version.

Tremors Box Set
Tremors Box Set features
the complete collection, beginning with Ron Underwood’s groundbreaking
first film in this hugely successful series. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward as two
small-town handymen who discover all is not well in their hometown of Perfection,
mainly due to the huge worm-like creatures who appear from underground and devour
the population.
Tremors 2 – two of the original cast – Burt Wood and Michael Gross (who plays survivalist and weapons expert Burt Gummer) are reunited, alongside Tremors creators SS Wilson and Brent Maddock, with the former taking the helm as director. This time the creatures – graboids – are running riot in Mexico. More comedy mixed with graboid gore ensues.
Tremors 3 – After 10 years spent travelling the world killing graboids and their mutant offspring, the shriekers, Burt Gummer (Gross) returns to his hometown of Perfection to what he thinks is a quiet life… But guess who’s lurking underground?
Tremors 4 – Gross returns once more, this time as one of Burt’s ancestors, Hiram Gummer, in this prequel to the series. With Wilson and Maddock once more in charge, we find out more about the history of the graboids as Hiram Gummer is a mine owner in the old West whose workers are being eaten by the creatures.
