Second Sight Films have announced the October release of two Limited Edition Blu-ray titles in October, Andrew Dominik's extraordinary btrue crime debut, Chopper, and the trio of cult werewolf films that is The Ginger Snaps Trilogy.

CHOPPER (Australia 2000) | Limited Edition Blu-ray | 30 October 2023 | £27.99

Eric Bana stars as the eponymous Chopper, Australia's most notorious and celebrated criminal figure, in what's been lauded as the "performance of a lifetime". This brutally gripping true-crime feature received critical acclaim on its original release in 2000, and now Andrew Dominik's directorial debut gets the Limited Edition Blu-ray treatment from Second Sight Films on 30 October 2023. It will also be released in Standard Blu-ray format.

Dominik's (Blonde, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) shocking and darkly entertaining film takes us into the violent world of Australia's most infamous figure – Mark 'Chopper' Read – who conquered Victoria's brutal underworld single-handedly, in a film based on his memoirs.

Bana (Black Hawk Down, Hulk, Troy) shows his acting chops in this seminal, career defining role of bonafide villain Chopper, and he brings the outrageous true story to the screen with maximum force. The brutality and nonchalance of the life and crimes of the one-man mafia, who takes on anyone who gets in his way, plays out unflinchingly on screen and is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

The film has been newly restored by Second Sight from a 2K graded scan and the new Limited Edition is presented in a rigid slipcase featuring brand new artwork by Nick Charge, complete with a 70-page book featuring new essays. There's new and archive commentaries and interviews including the director and Chopper himself, as well as composer Mick Harvey and editor Ken Sallows. All this and more will be featured in this must have collector's edition.

Two outsider sisters must battle with not just coming of age as women but also accepting the harsh reality of turning into bloodthirsty werewolves.

John Fawcett's 2000 original Ginger Snaps, starring Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle, quickly became a cult werewolf favourite with horror fans the world over. Four years later, its success eventually spawned a sequel in the shape of the 2004 Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, directed by Brett Sullivan and again starring Perkins and Isabelle alonside Brendan Fletcher. The same year, Perkins and Isabelle starred in a prequel, Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, directed by Grant Harvey.
