Boris Karloff: The Man Behind the Monster - BLU-RAY

His efforts as the Monster in 1931's InchFrankensteinInch turned 44-year-old veteran British bit player William Henry Pratt-or, as he'd become universally known, Boris Karloff-into one of horror cinema's first and most enduring genre stars. This documentary tribute looks at the mannered gentleman and the chills he'd provide over his decades in films, stage, and broadcasting, with input from collaborators and fans including Roger Corman, Peter Bogdanovich, Guillermo del Toro, Joe Dante, many more.

Acclaimed horror filmmaker Bryan Bertino (THE STRANGERS) directs this suspenseful and scary film, in which a divorced mother (Zoe Kazan) and her headstrong daughter must make an emergency late-night road trip to see the girl's father. As they drive through deserted country roads on a stormy night, they suddenly have a startling collision that leaves them shaken but not seriously hurt. Their car, however, is dead, and as they try in vain to get help, they come to realize they are not alone on these desolate backroads - a terrifying evil is lurking in the surrounding woods, intent on never letting them leave.
