Product details

Arrow FilmsFebruary, 1983. Detectives are called to a residential address in the London suburbs following reports that the drains have been clogged by human remains. One of the property's residents, Dennis Nilsen – a mild-mannered and unassuming civil servant – is brought in for questioning, leading to the discovery of one of the most shocking and disturbing cases of serial murder ever to rock Britain.Offering a grim and gritty retelling of the story of Des Nilsen, often dubbed the British Jeffery Dahmer , 1989's Cold Light of Day stars Bob Flag (the face of Big Brother in Michael Radford's 1984) as Nilsen-cipher Jorden March, delivering one of the most chilling and credible portrayals of a serial killer ever committed to screen.From writer-director Fhiona-Louise, Cold Light of Day – which picked up the UCCA Venticittà Award at the 1990 Venice International Film Festival – is a hugely underseen and underrated British effort that can stand proudly alongside the likes of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer as one of the most unflinching true-crime films of all time.Special Features2K restoration from the original 16mm camera negative approved by director Fhiona-LouiseOriginal uncompressed mono audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary with writer/director Fhiona-LouiseAudio commentary with film historians/writers Dean Brandum and Andrew NetteInterview with actor Martin Byrne-QuinnInterview with actor Steve MunroeOriginal Cold Light of Day promo film made to raise financing for the featureRe-Release TrailerTwo short films starring Cold Light of Day director Fhiona-Louise and photographed by Star Wars DP David Tattershall, newly restored in HD: Metropolis Apocalypse (1988, 11 mins) and Sleepwalker (1993, 2 mins)Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Gilles Vranckx​
