BLACK CHRISTMAS - DVD COMPETITION

THIS YEAR, CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY... AND IT'S LOOKING BLACK!

On 18th October 2010 Metrodome Distribution are releasing Bob Clark's original Cult Slasher BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974) onto UK DVD.

This year, dreams of a white Christmas will turn red with blood.

As a group of sorority girls start to make plans for the Christmas holidays a sadistic, obscene phone call shatters the yuletide peace. Their fear is calmed by the local police who assure them there’s nothing to worry about, but when the first body turns up the depraved caller’s threats become a reality. As the girls start to be picked off one by one a frantic search begins to find the killer before the blood starts to flow.

As brutal in its violence as it is terrifying in its effect, Black Christmas is a true horror classic that left its mark on the genre for years to come, influencing spine-chilling greats such as Halloween and Scream. Now it is re-released for a new generation to once again experience the sheer terror of this original stalk-and-slash masterpiece.

Thanks to Metrodome we have 3 copies of the DVD as prizes - to be in with a chance of winning please answer the following question:

THE LAST SEVEN - DVD COMPETITION

SEVEN SURVIVORS, ONE KILLER, THE HUNT IS ON...

Metrodome Distribution have just released the exciting post-apocalyptic thriller THE LAST SEVEN onto UK DVD and Blu-ray.

Dead Man Running’s Tamer Hassan and Danny Dyer explosively reunite for this taut action-thriller in which a cataclysmic event has left London deserted and under the thrall of a sinister presence.
When William (Simon Phillips) regains consciousness he finds himself confused and alone in an empty London street. As he explores the area, he discovers that not only are all the people missing but so are his memories.
A chance encounter teams him up with six other lost souls, led by soldier Jack (Hassan), who are all haunted by fractured memories of a devastating event. After a terrifying attack on one of them, Jack realises they are not the only survivors and the race is on to escape the capital and the darkness that stalks its desolate streets.
