Description

A remote manor; hushed, candlelit atmosphere; and shivery, supernatural menace. With his first English-language feature, Chilean Spanish writer-director-composer Alejandro Amenábar resurrected the classic gothic chiller to create a ghost story of uncommon emotional resonance. Nicole Kidman stars as a World War II–era mother whose imperiousness masks a terrifying pain, as she keeps her light-sensitive children enshrouded in darkness on her country estate. The arrival of three new servants punctures her insular world—and seems to disturb the balance between the living and the dead. With each stunning twist and turn, Amenábar immerses us more deeply in a realm haunted not only by spirits but also by guilt, trauma, and repression. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, approved by director Alejandro Amenábar, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack Audio commentary featuring Amenábar New conversation between Amenábar and film critic Pau Gómez New making-of program from Studiocanal UK featuring Amenábar, actors Nicole Kidman and Christopher Eccleston, and producer Fernando Bovaira Archival programs about the film’s production, soundtrack, and visual effects, featuring interviews and footage recorded on the set Audition footage of actors Alakina Mann and James Bentley and photography from the “Book of the Dead” Seven deleted scenes Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by scholar Philip Horne

Also starring James Marsden, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Linda Cardellini, and Wes Bentley. Produced by Will Farrell and Adam McKay Review Quirky and bold. Wiig is insanely charming. --- Betsy Sharkey, LOS ANGELES TIMES Hilarious and heartbreaking Welcome to Me, one of the biggest movie surprises of 2015 so far. --Andrew O Hehir, SALON.COM It is her best performance yet.
