In THE THIRD PART OF THE NIGHT, a Polish Jewish man from an aristocratic family flees the murder of his wife and child by Soviet soldiers only to become involved with a woman who is his wife's exact double, forcing him to reflect on his past life and things he has blocked out about it. Banned until 1987, THE DEVIL is the tale of a young aristocrat imprisoned for an assassination attempt and freed by a Satanic figure who follows him home and exposes the web of betrayal, perversion, and murder behind the image of his noble family.<br /><p></p><p><b>REVIEW LINK: <i><a href="http://www.dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=7817" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eureka Entertainment (UK) Region B Blu-ray (DVDCompare)</a></i></b></p><p><b>THE THIRD PART OF THE NIGHT/THE DEVIL <i>Blu-ray specs: </i></b></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b><i>Disc One - The Third Part of the Night:</i></b></li><ul><li>1080p24 MPEG-4 AVC 1.66:1 Widescreen </li><li>Polish LPCM 2.0 Mono </li><li>Optional English Subtitles </li><li>"Michael Brooke on The Third Part of the Night" film historian interview</li></ul><li><b><i>Disc Two - The Devil:</i></b></li><ul><li>1080p24 MPEG-4 AVC 1.66:1 Widescreen </li><li>Polish LPCM 2.0 Mono </li><li>Optional English Subtitles </li><li>"Michael Brooke on The Devil" film historian interview </li><li>"Lukasz Żulawski on The Devil" actor interview</li></ul><li>Comes with a collector's booklet featuring writing by Philip Kemp.<br /></li></ul>Eric Cotenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329284538465028566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5878009958604241455.post-60566679876178131552024-02-06T09:52:00.000-08:002024-02-06T09:55:07.383-08:00Acorn Media traces the legacy of ANNE RICE'S MAYFAIR WITCHES (review)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrSgkDF4Ha4gEUPGS1wJVMdI9XeoPlq4pI9NLJY6cc-oVGy97Mph9W_PAmrvHHUFkxzoQQL0rte6xhOE0Mbuwtr6W9akKGY4thDHFmfxeXbs_2csfepaK2JSwDtDsRJziOfv__pSIkWqYlGqDZpZAoSIR53jqhlCDcNn3duaoWBxOD_pgJc1Zay2DUo6kd/s2023/cover_mayfair_witches_season_one_acorn_blu-ray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2023" data-original-width="1568" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrSgkDF4Ha4gEUPGS1wJVMdI9XeoPlq4pI9NLJY6cc-oVGy97Mph9W_PAmrvHHUFkxzoQQL0rte6xhOE0Mbuwtr6W9akKGY4thDHFmfxeXbs_2csfepaK2JSwDtDsRJziOfv__pSIkWqYlGqDZpZAoSIR53jqhlCDcNn3duaoWBxOD_pgJc1Zay2DUo6kd/w310-h400/cover_mayfair_witches_season_one_acorn_blu-ray.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>A California surgeon starts to develop strange and deadly powers.
