Blumhouse Of Horrors: 10-Movie Collection (UK-import)
Collection of ten horrors from Blumhouse Productions. In 'Get Out' (2017), with their relationship becoming serious, Rose (Allison Williams) invites her African-American boyfriend Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) to meet her parents Missy and Dean (Catherine Keener and Bradley Whitford) as part of a weekend getaway at her family home. Initially, Chris thinks that the family's overly friendly behaviour is due to their nervousness about their daughter's interracial relationship, but when he then finds out that a number of black people have recently gone missing in the neighbourhood, he begins to realise there is something much more sinister going on. In 'The Purge' (2013), with crime in America spiralling out of control and prison populations soaring, the government of the day implements a drastic new initiative to address the problem. For a 12-hour period once a year, all crime, including murder, is legal, as the police and other emergency services stand down for the night, allowing the population to regulate itself. The Purge is deemed a success due to plummeting crime levels and record low unemployment figures. But after placing their upmarket home under its yearly lockdown, James and Mary Sandin (Hawke and Lena Headey) and their family find themselves under siege from a crazed group of masked killers when their teenage son (Max Burkholder) offers shelter to the mob's terrified prey. In 'Ouija' (2014), when their friend is killed in a freak accident at her home after using a Ouija board, a close-knit group decide to test out the board themselves to find out the real cause of her death. What they don't realise at the time is that their friend has opened a portal to the spirit world and has let a demonic presence enter her home, and one by one the group are made to face their darkest fears as the powers of the board overwhelm them. In 'Split' (2016), Kevin (James McAvoy) is a man who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, meaning that he exhibits numerous distinct personalities which affect his behaviour. Kevin becomes driven to kidnap three young girls - Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy), Claire (Haley Lu Richardson) and Hannah (Kim Director) - on their way to a party. While trapped, the girls witness Kevin's personality shift repeatedly and try desperately to figure out a way to escape. Kevin has therapy sessions with Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley), who slowly realises that Kevin is on the verge of a devastating mental breakdown. As she tries to convince her colleagues that someone with as serious a condition as Kevin can forcibly alter their physiology with their mind, Kevin develops a final, monstrous personality. In 'The Visit' (2015), while their mother (Kathryn Hahn) is on vacation, a young boy and girl (Ed Oxenbould and Olivia De Jonge) are sent to stay with their grandparents (Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie). After being warned not to leave their bedroom after 9.30pm and suspecting that something is amiss in the house, the kids start to investigate....
