Outland UHD pack shot

OUTLAND (UK / USA 1981)

Limited Edition 4K UHD | 3 November 2025 | £29.99

Writer-director Peter Hyams (Capricorn One, 2010, The Relic) takes classic Western tropes off-world and into the future in sci-fi thriller Outland, starring Sean Connery as a federal marshall assigned to keep the peace on a distant moon.

Con-Am 27 is a mining facility on Io, one of Jupiter’s largest moons. Six hundred million miles away, the gravity there is one sixth of what it is on Earth, and there is no breathable atmosphere. The work is hard, the bonuses big and productivity is breaking all records. But people are dying. Every so often they just snap. The secret? A drug that can keep its miners working days on end, but over time results in burn-out and psychosis. When new Marshall William O’Niel (Sean Connery) investigates, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy and finds his life under threat from a company that will stop at nothing to keep him quiet.

A chillingly prophetic depiction of corporate greed and exploitation with muscular direction from Hyams, and a stellar performance from Connery, Outland arrives on 4K UHD in a brand new restoration that is out of this world.

Speak No Evil Blu-ray pack shot

SPEAK NO EVIL (Croatia / Canada / USA 2024)

Limited Edition Blu-ray | 3 November 2025 | £24.99

Debuting at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Christian Tafdrup’s Speak No Evil, co-written with his brother Mads, is a shocking psychological horror film which stunned audiences and critics alike, leading to a Best International Film win at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards and a 2024 Hollywood remake starring James McAvoy.

During a summer vacation in Tuscany, Italy, a reserved Danish family - Bjørn and Louise and their young daughter Agnes - befriend an outgoing Dutch couple, Patrick and Karin, holidaying with their young boy, Abel. Four months after returning home, Bjørn receives a surprise postcard from Patrick, inviting the Danes to spend a weekend at their countryside house in the Netherlands. But when Bjørn and Louise arrive, the supposedly idyllic and relaxing weekend soon starts to unravel as they try their very best to stay polite in the face of mounting unease.

Driven by incredible performances and a menacing score from Sune Kølster, Tafdrup’s Danish original expertly blends a dark comedy of manners with an ominous sense of dread – escalating towards a truly terrifying climax that reveals the horrors that lie await in the face of complicity and silence.
