Eclipse Blu-Ray

A remote house on a cliff on the Scottish coast is the weather-beaten setting for Simon Perry's eerie, atmospheric psychological thriller, which has inexplicably been out of service since 1976.

Tom Conti (Oppenheimer, Slade in Flame) plays the lead role as a bereaved brother haunted by memories of his twin brother, who died at sea. After returning to his childhood home, a Christmas party with his brother's widow (Gay Hamilton) and her son goes horribly wrong whendark secrets and sibling rivalry return to haunt them—before the past can be laid to rest.real, disturbing, and rarely seen since it was filmed almost 50 years ago, and it now arrives safely on Blu-ray for the first time in a new scan from the best available 35 mm archive material.
